Quick Disclaimer: I Don't own Dark Souls or Percy Jackson and the Olympians they belong to From Software and Rick Riordan respectively, this fanfiction is purely for entertainment reasons, because why not, right? With that out of the way, I'd like to mention that this fanfiction is the first I've written so, to be honest, any criticisms or advice is welcomed. Also, I don't plan on putting this disclaimer on any other chapters, it's here and here it will stay.

a/n: due to the use of all 3 Dark Souls when I use an armor that's in more than 1 game I'll specify which game it's from, it'll probably be based more on appearance differentiations than stats (mostly because stats won't mean much, let's be honest here) but just so I can avoid confusion. I will also be taking some liberties with both magic in general and humanities/embers they won't be just like the game(s).

Artemis was having a wonderful night, which was rather surprising considering her normally blasé attitude, yet why shouldn't she have such an enjoyable night, she was with her hunter's on the night of the full moon celebrating their time together, that is until they heard the howls of hellhounds echo through the forest.

"Hunters to arms, our hunt continues tonight!"

Within seconds all her hunters were armed and ready to follow her lead, and they were off following the monstrous noises with Artemis in the front, they rushed towards a clearing only to slide to a halt at the rather strange sight before them... Artemis hurried to hold her hunters back from this unknown, a Knight, in strangely contorted and burned armor complemented by red rags shedding ember like scraps from the cape, Artemis could even spot what seemed to be the knight's ribcage through or rather as a part of the armor.

What worried her slightly more was the pack of hellhounds surrounding the figure, so many that even her most experienced hunters might have hesitated to face the nine beasts surrounding this lone knight. 'Who even equips themselves like a knight anymore, especially in armor like that?' Artemis thought to herself.

Even as the first hellhound charges from the treeline looking to pounce on the knight, Artemis watched captivated by either outstanding bravery or unfathomable stupidity as the knight refused to move from its spot only to raise its hand at the last moment and release a surge of flames from their hand scorching the hellhound and burning it to death, at least that's what Artemis figured when the beast stopped moving even though it didn't explode into golden dust as it was supposed to, instead her keen eyes watched as wisps of some white, smoky, substance traveled from the dead monster to the unmoving figure, she didn't ignore how the hellhound slowly began to dissolve into its traditional golden dust after that however.

The knight began moving once more redrawing Artemis' attention as it backed up further into the clearing giving itself more space, raising its arm once more, to above its head and summoned flames once again to create a floating orb, that almost immediately began to launch its own flames at the stalking hellhounds, scorching their flesh wounding yet not killing them as the first flames did. Watching this Artemis couldn't help but wonder who this figure was.

'It? I can't even tell what gender it is! It must be a child of Hephaestus to have such control of fire.'

That theory was quickly debunked when three undamaged hellhounds leapt at the figure determined to tear through its armor, flesh, and bone before they were halted by the bolt of lightning the knight summoned and slammed into the ground killing two and wounding the third, its futile attempt at biting at the knight was ended when the warrior summoned a bow made of lightning releasing an arrow into the hounds gaping maw. This new revelation both stunned and scared Artemis, despite her outward appearance and stoic nature, she was honestly worried.

'Lightning! Oh, father what have you done now, but with fire as well, Hephaestus can't possibly be an option, that would only leave… No, I dare not finish that thought, she couldn't possibly have broken her oath, especially not to her younger brother of all people.'

The warrior wasn't done yet though, as it still had five hellhounds left to kill, Artemis could tell that her hunters while confused at the unfolding events were itching for a fight, and it was all she could do to hold them back wishing to see what else this knight was capable of.

Artemis was unsure of what to expect but control over a hellhound was not not something she imagined, when the figure pointed to one of the beasts its hand exuding a strange pink smoke before the targeted hound turned and tackled one of its former companions further reducing the number of the knight's assailants the final three beasts foolishly chose to attack in the same manner as their late packmates charging straight into a thrown orb of fire as it splashed across the face of one hound burning it so quickly it never got an opportunity to even shriek in pain the one beast closest to it did however as its left foreleg had been burned away in the pool of lava left in the wake of the explosive orb.

The knight rather obviously wasn't finished with the wounded beast however as it summoned a whip of fire and lashed it across the face of the limping hellhound ending its life, it turned on a dime to face the final hound turning with it as the beast attempted to circle the knight before realizing it was futile and it roared its frustration whilst charging towards its target the knight simply stepped to the side dodging the incompetent beast before summoning a new bolt of lightning this one far smaller and throwing it into the hounds rib cage, killing it.

With the hellhounds defeated Artemis wanted to speak with this knight though she wasn't sure what she could possibly say… her train of thought was ruined however when the knight turned to look directly at her before bowing almost mockingly, and then turning and walking away, Artemis was stunned but not enough to stop her from trying to chase after the knight, only to see the knight wave a… stick… and disappear into thin air, she could sense no aura, see no footprints, and could hear no unnatural sounds, the knight truly had disappeared, Artemis would not allow that to happen though as she commanded her hunters to search for any signs of the knight. She needed answers to questions and by her father, she would get them.
