The island of Delos was unlike any other island. It was said that in the beginning, not too long ago, the island floated in the sky; the island had no connection to the Earth.

This was the reason why two godlings reside on the island. The twins Artemis and Apollo enjoyed their childhood, always running around and shooting arrows, they were very energetic kids. Their mother Leto was very protective of them, always keeping an eye on them wherever they went and making the best out of their living situation.

Of course, everything good always comes to an end. One day, when the siblings were six years old, a strange being went inside their humble home.

The day started like any other, with the siblings eating breakfast and then running around the nearby fields. Their mother cooked while they played with the rabbits and deers that had Delos as their habitat.

At around seven at night though, everything changed for the young godlings.

"Why is Oliver barking so much?" Artemis asked her mother. She had always had a keen ear, able to detect even the most subtle sounds and being irritable by the highest pitches.

"Probably because he's retarded" her brother Apollo replied while eating his rabbit stew, not paying attention to the glare his sister gave him.

"He's not retarded, you are," the huntress said madly as she threw a piece of bread towards her brother.

"Shut up you turd!" The archer replied, launching forward to knock his sister over the chair.

The siblings began to fight as was usual between them. The screamed and laughed in victory, all while their mother Leto had a worried look. As the siblings fought, they failed to notice that their dog, Oliver, had stopped barking. Not only that, he had stopped making any noise whatsoever.

Leto recognized what was going on and began to get their children to stop fighting.

"Apollo stop! Listen to me!" The boy didn't pay attention to her mother and kept poking Artemis in the eyes.

"Artemis pay attention to me this instant!" Leto yelled as she grabbed the young goddess by her ear. Artemis stopped attacking her brother and stared at her mother. "Take your brother and hide in the basement"

"Why?" Artemis asked her mother, confused as to why she wanted her to go to the basement.

"I don't have time to explain. I love you so much Artemis, always remember who you really are, don't change for anything." Leto touched her daughter's cheek "Apollo, you are so talented in so many ways you can be whatever you want to be. Always remember that I'll be there for you, even when you can't see me" she said as she hugged the siblings.

"Now go and hide. Whatever happens, don't come out until it's daylight. Stay hidden" The titan mother said as she hid her children.

As soon as they were hidden, the wooden door that separated the woods and the house blew open. A dark, tall, male figure stood straight at the place where the door once stood.

"Leto it has been so long," the figure said in a calm voice

"Stay away from me," Leto said as she grabbed a knife with both hands. The figure walked towards the single mother, not showing any sign of fear.

"Leto Leto Leto, you know it'll be easier if you don't resist right?" The man said, his hand trying to touch the cheek of the Titan. Leto slashed her knife at the man that stood in front of her, effectively cutting a little bit of his arm. Golden ichor ran through the forearm, to the hand, until three droplets fell on the ground.

"That was a bad idea," the man said as he punched the woman on the nose. Then, he grabbed by the hair and dragged her around the house.

He proceeded to tie her up and degrade her in the worst way possible. The man humiliated her, asked her to scream, but the titan never allowed herself to fall that low. She would not give the satisfaction to him, he did not deserve anything.

After what seemed like hours, the man covered himself up and stared at the destroyed titan.

"You know, it was a bad idea to let you live that last time. It will be better for everyone if nobody knew about this, you know how politics can get. Having said that, I hope this hurts you more than it hurts me" the man grabbed the knife with his cruel hands and began to stab Leto repeatedly.

Not once did Leto scream. She just laid there tied up, receiving the punishment for living. Only the ichor that flowed beneath her and now, because of the stabbing, on top of her served as evidence of what had surfaced.

After stabbing her countless times, the man threw the knife at the floor with all of his might. The knife went three inches deep in the floor, the bloody handle pointing towards the sky.

The man left without looking back, without showing any regret. He just kept walking away to his house, where his wife and children waited for him to come back from his "meditation session".

Unknown to him, below the knife that he threw to the ground, where two siblings. One of them was crying and covering his ears, while the other just stared at the lifeless body of her mother, covering her twins' eyes and bleeding out of the palm of her hand. Through the crack of the basement she saw everything that had surfaced that fatal day, she saw what men were capable of doing.

Most importantly, she saw what that man did to her mother and how little remorse he felt.

Her brain changed that day. What was once a happy girl who ran around the fields was now a girl who showed no regret and whose only goal in life was revenge for her mother. The now orphaned young goddess had to take care of her brother, take care of herself, but above all that, she had to keep doing what her mother was doing.

She grew colder each day, noticing the wrongs each man did in the society. Failing to notice the good any of them did, she only thought of men as nuances that were no more important than a deer.

Along with her brother, Artemis became the perfect archer, which made her the perfect assassin. At ten years old she had already had a business of taking out men who women wanted gone, no questions asked. She grew corrupted, unknowingly of course, and began to even resent her brother.

Of course, the only real goal in her life was to avenge the man who did all those atrocities to her mother. The man with the blue eyes and ichor. The man who had a family yet destroyed hers.

The man who she could only meet with the help of a young demigod son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson.
