Rebirth of Artemis

Issue 6 - Wolf in sheep's clothing

Amidst the sunny weather, there were footprints smudged into dried mud. Leading up to a small camp. With a lean-to shelter. There was a pile of leaves inside of the lean-to. There was a motorcycle heard in the distance. Terra popped out of the leaves in an instant. Breathing heavily. Spear in hand. She took a deep breath. Terra had her signature armor on along with the backpack that was given to her by Carl. It held her Artemis book, flip-phone ,and other miscellaneous objects. Terra took out her flip-phone and looked at it. She saw herself in the reflection. She was extremely dirty, and her armor had mud stains.

Terra: Day 12, almost two weeks. I have to almost be at my village. I need to retrace his steps... *sigh* What am I even gonna do when I get to him? He's too powerful. UGH! I'm talking to myself already! We have to go.

She took out her Artemis book. She flipped to a page that read "stamina spell: Use this sparingly, it takes your future energy and brings it into the now. Too many uses could result in loss of balance, unconsciousness, or death.

Terra: I have to get home.

She kept flipping through the book. Until she got to the blank pages.

Terra: Ugh! Why would you just leave blank pages!? There's only like, 10 spells here.

Terra looked closely at her Artemis book.

Terra: Gios Stamio!

A green light shone around Terra and absorbed into her.

Terra: That should be good for while.

Terra continued up the mountain. With her bag slung over her back. She sang old songs from her childhood to herself.

Beck attached a belt with an R on it.

???: Oh Beck~

A figure materialized behind Beck. She was wearing a welding mask. She flipped it up and made a throne with her hair.

Beck: Is there something you need?

???: Yes sir. How is everything coming along?

Beck: Everything is going just as planned. You only come to me when something's happened Jilaya. Is there a problem?

Jilaya: I recommend you take out this child.

Jilaya showed Beck a recording of Terra climbing the mountain.

Beck: Ha! You seriously came all this way to joke with me!?

Jilaya: I'm not joking. We see a threat, we kill it.

Beck: Something about her looks familiar.

Jilaya: You know her?

Beck: Yes. I saw her years ago now...

Jilaya: How do you even remember her?

Beck: Krilla took her when she escaped.

Jilaya: Still butthurt over your little accident with Krilla?

Beck: Shut your mouth.

Jilaya: Not a good idea to talk to your boss like that.

Beck: Well why are you concerned? Look at her. She may be fit but not superhuman.

Jilaya: Look closer. At her bag.

Beck squinted his eyes at the video of Terra.

Beck: The Artemis book.
