                             Artemis P.O.V.

Daughter I have an idea, I heard father speak in my mind.

What is it father? I replied

What if he became the guardian of the hunt? Then we would know exactly where he is and if he became a threat later on.My father suggested.

I didn't have a chance to reply before Hestia and Zeus walked back to their thrones.

They started explaining it to Haze, and my fury grew.

I watched as his face became disoriented, before he closed his eyes and gave a smile.

"As you wish, M'Lady."

I stared at him with no longer anger but curiosity. I remember my mother , Leto, explaining to me when I was a child how people only close their eyes when they smile, because the smile doesn't reach their eyes.

It's all in the eyes, I was once told. A smile isn't genuine, unless the eyes smile too. Words mean nothing, unless the eyes speak them.

He opened his eyes and looked directly at me. He gave an intense stare and started walking my way.

He came below my throne, and did something I didn't expect.......he bowed.

The man knelt down, careful not to make contact with me. Instead, he held his hand out and I allowed mine to hover over his own. I watched as his hand began to glow.

The soft silver glow slowly spread across my' whole bodying I his drowning my energy , and as quickly as it left the color returned to her face, this occurred every time I gave her blessing to someone so it wasn't something new to me.

I pulled my hand back and begrudgingly sat in my throne.

" I Haze, pledge myself to protect Lady Artemis's Hunt with my life. I vow to not direct in any way with M'Lady's hunters in any way unless seen fit by Lady Artemis."

Suddenly, I gasped and sat up, my eyes snapping to the man.The man quickly retracted his hand, to make sure that I didn't hit it as I sat up, and he moved away.

As I understood what he just said, it reminded me of a young hero I once befriended.

"Alrighty then, council dismissed." Stated Zeus.

Quickly all the gods flashed away but three.

I watched as my twin, Apollo said something to Haze before he flashed away in his golden swirl.

I saw Hestia whisper something to him, before giving him a hug, and flashing away.

He walked towards me, and I noticed he put his hood up.Strange.....

"M'Lady would you like me to create the portal or would you like to go on your own and I'll meet you their?" He asked.

"You can create a portal?" I asked

"Yes." He replied as he bowed his head.

" A portal, I would like to see this work."

I watched as he raised his hand and a mixture of both water and fire appeared. I watched as the brilliant flames danced with the vibrant blue and created a hole, a black hole.

"Would you like you or me to go first?" He asked.

"You." I Stated, I want to know that this is not just a trap.

I watched him smirk before quickly hiding it, as if he knew exactly what I was thinking.

He went into the portal, and I quickly followed suite.

Many colors swirled past me, as if I was in the Northern Lights. I felt as if I was at the thrilling point of a roller coaster, that part where you loose your stomach.

I plopped out of the portal right at my hunters camp.They were all looking quizzly at the portal before smiling in relief that they saw it was me.

I looked around for Haze, until I saw him in a tree.
He nodded his head in my direction, and I quickly picked up on what he was saying.

Wanted me to tell the hunters that a man will be in the camp before he just showed up.



"Curse you father! Now i have to explain to the huntress' that a BOY is coming to "gaurd" us. When I got there they instantly picked up muy bad mood. "Whats wrong , my lady?" My lieutenant , Thalia, asked. I sighed. this was going to be hard

"A b-Man is joining the hunt" I said glumly. Instant pandemonium.

"Who is this Man?, M'Lady?"

"Will he be more than likely to run away from battle or claim all the glory?"

" Is he here to use us?"

A bunch of questions were being asked, but all of a sudden a great amount wind blew and Haze appeared beside me.

I watched as the newest members of the hunt ran up to Haze and gave him a hug. My older member growled at the man in displeasure watching the man hug their sisters.

If I never saw Haze before, I would think he was an assassin. So watching the youngest hunters, who still haven't broke out the shell in the hunt, hug the hooded man was a sight to see.

Then total chaos erupted.

The next chapter will be coming out soon. :)
