Intro:
Entering Hecate's palace, Diana greeted her cordially with her returning it. Not wanting to wait for Hecate to ask why she was there, she began apologizing for the Hunt's and Artemis deeds against Percy, so much that she fell on her knees and burst into tears. She shook as sobs reeked her body and at the same time she burned with righteous fury at the awful situation.
Seeing this, Hecate was moved with pity as finally a goddess of the Hunt had apologized. Never before had she seen a deity this sorrowful and angry at the same time, except for Neptune back when Percy tried to return Alaska after he saw him all those years ago.
Such deep feelings could not be faked at all. But underneath all of that she saw the strongest of emotions, Diana was in love with Percy. How this was possible she did not know, but she would not put it past Perseus Achilles Jackson, Son of Many to do the impossible, as though he was a fierce warrior, he could melt even the hardest of hearts with his nature; after all he done just that with her as well as others.
Rising from her throne, she gently walked to Diana, placing her forefinger under her chin she embraced her whispering soothing words to calm her down before making her sit down.
She thereafter said that she forgave the Hunt because of her(Diana's)apology, but if the Hunt tried this again, not even Chaos would be able to save them from her wrath, a warning which Diana took to heart.
Note: Chaos magic had nullified the gods magic even her own. She would have restarted the fire again, if not that Chaos had and pleaded for leniency towards the Hunt, saying that they had learned from their mistakes.
To prove this she displayed the extent of the gods wrath against the hunters showing her that they were now catatonic, while telling her that any further act of such magnitude could lead to much more dire results such as permanent paralysis or.....(you-know-what).
That was when she relented stating that she would only forgive them if the goddess of the Hunt apologized on their behalf.
Afterwards, Hecate was gracious enough to heal them.
By this time, a year had passed.

The Birth Of A New Child

Gathering herself Diana knelt down before Hecate once again, asking for a favor. She said she wanted to have a child of her own and be a mother(in reality, it was also to get closer the man whom she had finally admitted to herself that she loved alongside her Greek Counterpart and to hopefully bring him out of his year long coma from the shock of the news that he now had another child with the unlikeliest of goddesses.
Hecate heard the plan, it was worth a shot but she cautioned Diana that if she went through with her plan, it could escalate to a full blown war courtesy of Zeus who would be paranoid at the full god being born without being made into one by him.
In reply, Diana with a sinister look that mirrored Percy when he fought Orion and not mincing her words, said that if he tried to harm the child in any way at all, then she would declare war on him. Plus, she did not even want to imagine what Percy would do to him if that ever happened because it would not be pretty.
The determination in her silver eyes convinced Hecate that she would do exactly what she said.
If Queen Niobe's as well as Actaeon's fates were anything to go by, Hecate knew that Artemis or Diana was one you did not want to be on her bad side. Even the gods were scared when they witnessed those events amongst many more examples of her wrath, that was why Zeus in spite of being her father and King is always careful around her and is quick to make absolutely sure he has her full support before doing anything.
Hecate then steeled herself so that she would not reel in horror from the thoughts, she just hoped for the best, however, if things got messed up owing to Zeus, she would definitely support her beloved child and Artemis rather than her King.

Taking the vials, she poured them into the cauldron, adding some Earth, shrubs, wolf fur, powdered star, a feather, a pearl, seawater and an arrow head. After muttering a spell as follows:
"Child from the bond of the Moon and Sea take form and let the ichor flow through your veins, rebuild what has been broken", then she asked Diana to visualize the child.
Diana's Perspective(mind)
She was tanned in complexion like her father, lean but athletic and quick on her feet with nimble steady fingers.
She was a skilled Archer and tracker like her mother. She loved the water, the wild, hunt, wind, and the moon. Surprisingly, she also had a little of uncle's domains of healing, light, music and prophecy. If things worked out as Diana hoped they would, she would share in those domains permanently.
She was Sea green eyed like her father with silver rings to show her dual heritage. She had her mother's height of 6ft5inches.
In her Roman form, it was almost the same thing, the only difference between them was that in this form she had Blond hair and silver eyes with Sea green rings.
Her weapons of choice were:
1. The Trident
2. The Sword
3. Bow and Arrows
Her scared animals were:
1. The Pegasus
2. The Stallion
3. The Stag
4. The Wolf
