Artemis
As we started to go out at the gate of Olympus, I heard a sigh that comes from Hermes. “We should retreat, let's pass the job in the other Gods,” He said while staring at his cloud. What is he saying, too scared to go in the House of Dreams?
“Don't tell me; you're afraid of Hypnos?” I asked while laughing, well, none of us is scared of Hypnos because he just has a weak power compared to us that the controls are needed to be hidden in the vault.
“Of course not, I am not afraid of him. Duh, I can knock out someone by making them sleep too. Hypnos is not the only one who has that power, it's not even unique,” He stated while flexing his muscle but, I just laugh. It's like he is downgrading himself because of what he says.
“Then, who is that in your back? Oh, Hi, Hypnos!” I exclaimed joking at him, but, he started to run as fast as he could. Well, the truth there is no someone in his back.
“I'm sorry, Master Hypnos. I promise not to talk in your back, please forgive my discourtesy,” He begs while coming back and starts to bow in the statue of Zeus in the back. Okay, that was crazy.
“Ops, Don't tell me that the one who teaches you the Dream Technique is Hypnos?” I inquire of him, but, he just scratches his head and admit it, “Unfortunately, yes, don't tell this to someone else please Diana,” He pleaded, but that makes me mad. I don't want to be called by that name even, the mortals who are calling me werewolves chased that.
“Fine, just don't call me Diana or else,” I said while my brows knitted and started to wield my silver bow with an arrow.
“I'm so sorry, Dia—Artemis. Let's go, shall we? Our time is running out,” He said while singing. What can I do to him?
I started to shower him with my arrows, but he is just opening the gate of Olympus and go out. We can see the other minor Gods that are in their own house, “Bow down!” Helios shouted while they are on the side to bow to us. Well, this is a sign of respect while we are continuing walking one of the children of the minor Gods came near to us.
“Koalemos, you shouldn't block the way of the Olympians,” Ariadne said to him while pulling him down to bow.
“Stop right there,” I stated while my eyes narrowed. They started to gasp in fear, but, I just smile who will think that I will kill a child?
I am not that low to fight someone on the Minor Gods; they should be on my level.
“Saradwey!” I chanted, and the child goes to the side where the Minor Gods are kneeling and bowing.
One of the strict rules is where we kill who will block our way but, for me, why should do it if I can cast them to be in the side. Zeus should know the importance of lives well, and he doesn't even care about the Demigods that are in the Questionnaire Academy—we are only visiting when they are celebrating about Zeus.
Hera has always been on his side, guarding his actions well; he is known as the playboy in Olympus. Why not copy Hades' loyalty to Persephone so, Hera will be happy?
“What are we doing here?” I questioned Hermes because we stop at the Palace of Musicians where the Nine Muses are living.
They are the children of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and I could say that he knows how to choose a Goddess. One of the rumors that all of the Muses have their talent, not just singing and they have beauty and grace well, I don't have talent in various arts.
“We need to get one of the boxes of the music of the nine muses; therefore, Hypnos will grant our wish you know he is a fan of them,” He explained while holding the little box, I didn't notice it a while ago and why do we need to get one the music from them?
“Then, we should kill him if he will not grant their dreams. What do you think?” I inquired him while licking my arrow. His brows furrowed in what I said, did I say something wrong?
“I don't want to end up in Del, and besides, I want to have a nice dream. You know?” He uttered, and I don't have any choice but, to agree to his idea.
“Fine.”
When we enter the Palace, one of the Muses was singing in front of us. She is wearing a long silk white dress that was so sexy to her because it shows her curves.
“Euterpe, long time no see. There is a letter from Zeus for you,” Hermes said, but, I just cough to stop him even to his child he is a playboy.
The mid-length curly brown hair, she was fitted to her freckles and beauty, but, the thing is her voice was recalling one of my memories. My head is starting to hurt me, “Stop speaking, or else; I will kill Strymon!” I shouted to her but, she just nodded and cast a spell.
“Voicè!” She shouted and her voice change, and it's giving me a chill now, unlike, earlier that it was almost killing me.
“I'm so sorry about that, Hermes is there any letter from Strymon?” She asked, but, one of the Muses came out again, and this time the color of her dress was vintage brown.
“What is happening here?” She questioned while her silver eyes were staring at me.
“Clio, you're here too. Where is Mnemosyne?” Hermes asked for her while I just rolled my eyes. This is not the right time to ask her.
“Come on, Hermes. Give me the box,” I said while my gritting my teeth. Wasting a lot of time can't help the other Gods.
“Just fill this box with your music,” I spoke, but, the two of them just stare at each other and laugh. Is there something wrong with what I said or they are laughing at the Goddess of Wild Animals?
“Is there something funny?” I roared to them, and they stopped laughing and started to act appropriately.
“Of course not, Goddess Artemis, but we can't grant what you want,” They both said while Euterpe was holding a bunch of letters that Hermes have in his pocket, looking for Strymon's letter I guess.
“Why not?” I am intently looking at one of the doors in the palace; curiosity was ruined for me.
“Because it was stolen in our vault and to find them, you need the help of the Demigods because the Sniperia can't kill them.”
