Balance, something hard to attain, and even harder to sustain. Almost like walking a sword's edge, everyone waits with baited breath to see if you will be able to walk along it, or if you will fall to the side.
It is infinitely harder when you must oversee the balance of other people, but to try and force it upon gods? Impossible, or so most think.
Artemis must find a balance of her own, in her duty. First though, she must discover what her new duties are.
She has gone from a student studying in Greece to an embodiment of retribution, the successor of Nemesis herself. Another task for the list, how does a goddess die?

Evil
I go by Artemis Blythe. I'm an ex-soldier turned murderer. I was charged with thirty murders and was subsequently sentenced to death. Preceding my execution, in a twist of fate, I was reborn in a child's body in a dog eat dog world ruled by two factions: Righteous and Demonic. I had two abilities in my arsenal: One let me cheat death, the other strengthened me the more I killed. I had two goals: One was to destroy the Righteous faction in its entirety, the second was to enjoy the hunt. I was named after the Goddess of the Hunt after all. Now that I was in a world where murder was validated and not outlawed, it would surely be nothing less than good time. No kindness. No selflessness. No altruism. Just acting on self-interest. There wasn't a single good bone in my body. Only pure, condensed, unadulterated evil.Complete![The Not-So-Sunny Sun God [An Artemis And Apollo Story]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/119669409-256-k578276.jpg)
