"The world was corrupted after wars ravaged the land leaving few left alive. A secret cooperation led to the development of 'Significant Others'." I sighed as I put down my burnt stick that I was using as a pencil attempting to smear the black over my mark. I should be carving this somewhere so the charcoal marks won't be wiped away as easily as the population was. I thought it was pitiful to leave someone as bland as me to mark down history and not someone more inclined to make it sound more creative, but maybe they wanted it to be blunt so in the future they would realize how much idiocy and ignorance gets you in life. "Giving up already are we?" I playfully groaned turning around to meet cool steel eyes and shining autumn hair before me. "Like you could do any better Alexa," I let a small, cheeky smile flash over my face before she shrugged and turned away walking off, "I guess you will just have to see later but for now we have to get moving. They are coming." I just huffed as I grabbed my bag and paper chasing after her. It seemed like we were never going to be free.

Artemis

"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
