"You really have to kill a woman..." - Back To The Old Days

"Good Morning, Apollo, looks like you have the case of the grumps!" Artemis joked. Apollo, who now has messy blonde hair, grumbled, instead. "I heard you made Ravens black!" Artemis added. And he grumbled again.

Artemis, who seemed particularly annoyed now, asked, "Why are you so grumpy? Are there any problems? I'll take care of it!"

He explained in a rude and grumpy (or angry with a lot of jealousy) manner.

"You know Coronis? I, um, got her pregnant, but she fell in love with a mortal. If the bird didn't peck out her eyes out, it would've remained white! Ischys was that mortal."

And you're jealous, just tell me to kill her and I'll be on my way." Artemis replied, fixing her bow and arrow.

He lightened up. "Kill her, sis, please!"

Artemis rushed outside, gleefully. Most of his affairs weren't, erm, uh, happy. And killing a woman wouldn't be his usual schedule.

Artemis went straight to her room, grabbed a simple mortal garb with an ivy green hood, then she headed straight to her chariot grabbed the reins and left.

When she saw the princess talking to Ischys in a very sultry way at the courtyard, she lowered the chariot and hid it in a nearby forest. Then, she casted a spell on herself to make her invisible and silently climb on the castle walls.

She knelt on one knee and aimed her arrow at the princess' shoulder. However, she took a small amount of poison in the arrow. Then she let the arrow fly. The princess was surprised to see the arrow and when it reached her shoulder, she cried in pain. "The healer, quick!" She cried.

The guard who stood nearby ran in the castle and went in. He told the king of the arrow and several healers headed straight to the courtyard.

Since Artemis' added a surge of power in the poison, it spreader quicker. It didn't hurt the child in her womb but it affected the woman.

Breathing rapidly, Coronis, tried to drink a mixture one of the healers made, but before she put the goblet in her lips, she fell on the bench with a thump.

Mission accomplished! Artemis thought. She headed straight in the forest, boarded her chariot and went to Olympus.

Aphrodite who was on the stables, scolded Artemis.

"Why do you have to kill her then?" Her angry voice said. "Well, Apollo ordered it, and she fell in love with him first but had an affair with another man," Artemis said.

Aphrodite groaned and stormed away from the stables

I Love that part, and hated it.
