Olympiad is Falling, The Rise of Artemis Chapter 21 Artemis
I wish there was a way I could help this town heal. I wish there was a way I could awaken the earth; make the flowers bloom again and open up the clouds. If I truly belonged in the sky maybe there was a way, I could. Stella locked up the apartment and beckoned me to follow her. I didn’t even know how she got home last night and she wouldn’t cough up any explanations either. It was all business with her lately. Even after I told her Daylen was searching for proof of Rachel’s life harder than he did before because he wanted me gone, she insisted we go out into the dangerous mage dimension. There was no time for candy and slumber parties with her. I’m starting to think I’m getting on her nerves more than this mission. ‘Where are you taking us this time?’ I followed after. ‘The Spirit Veil.’ She said. I hope she isn’t taking me to my death, because that’s exactly what I believed I would find at a place called The Spirit Veil. ‘What the heck are we going to do there?’ I threw my hands

I stripped my coat off and unbuttoned my shirt. This was going to take a lot of energy. I needed the privacy too, but my house was still being prepared no thanks to the idiot Avon so I requested an office. Still looked like a dungeon, but it had a chair and table which was all I needed for now. I pulled out a pendulum from my pocket and held it above a bowl of water from lake Paradis. I took off my glasses and set them aside. I was bagging on this to find Raquel. I had a feeling I knew where it would take me. ‘Show me the girl,’ I ordered. Slowly the crystal attached to the chain turned green and began to spin. At least it was working. The green hue began to dim, but the pace of the pendulum only gained. The clear water turned grey which wasn’t good then went red before the water turned to mud and turned black. The green light flickered and the glass burst. ‘Fuck,’ I hurled the chained across the room. ‘I knew it. She’s dead.’ No doubt Hera had her body disposed of somewhere. The

My back hit the surface of grass greener than any I had ever seen. I didn’t know if it was the effects of getting sucked through a portal that left my body sizzling. I prompt my elbows up and searched for Orion. ‘What the hell was that for?’ I yelled. ‘I had to get you out of there. We have to find a way to get you to Olympiad anyway.’ ‘I haven’t found my sister yet!’ ‘You’ll be helping her by returning home. If things are okay in Olympiad, then maybe things in the mage dimension will get better.’ ‘Is that true or wishful thinking?’ He didn’t answer. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet like a rag doll. “Where did you bring me anyway?” I dusted grass off my clothes. There were clear blue skies above me, not a cloud in sight. As far as my eye could see vibrant grass stretched on for miles. A line of trees went on, standing tall and proud. This place was alive I felt in the wind. “Grin land. A dimension near earth.” “What are we doing here then? Is this the passage to Ol

I flew back to the castle. I let her slip through my fingers. I knew not to trust him damn it. Now how did I get her back. My mind was spinning I barely knew where my legs were taking me. I couldn’t ask my mother she would see this as an opportunity to get Artemis out of my life. Another locator spell. I wouldn’t let her out of my sight after I found her. I still didn’t want her here, but losing her was killing me. I bumped into someone and nearly knocked my glasses off my face. “Sorry,” I waved my hand in front of myself. I looked up and realized it was Marcus. He frowned at me. I hadn’t seen him since he got his ass kicked. “Oh,” I said. “You’re in a rush.” Marcus said, his voice laced with venom. “No, actually I need help. It’s urgent.” Marcus shook his head, “I don’t get you man—” “I don’t have time to explain now Marcus. I know you’re mad at me for what happened, but I wasn’t the one that beat you up.” “No, but you didn’t arrest the girl that did!” I rubbed my forehead.

It had to be passed midnight and I couldn’t sleep. I kept tossing and turning in the small cabin given to me by our hosts who had generously fed me. It was one of the best meals I had in years and also the first meal I had in days. Orion had been given a cabin too, I couldn’t figure out his relationship with Scylla. It seemed like she hated his guts. He could be a brut sometimes I wondered what he did. That wasn’t what was keeping me up at night, though. In the middle of the night alone with my thoughts I was coming to the conclusion Rocky might really be dead. There was nothing left for me back at the mage dimension. Then I thought about Daylen and the mages who suffered there. I was a goddess something I came to terms with when I healed a forest and spoke with my twin brother. I was a goddess and I was sure there was a tone to learn but one thing I was certain about was I had to do something. I wasn’t sure about Daylen… I hadn’t even told him what I was. Would he believe me or thin

The good thing is she isn’t with Hera or so the evil queen claimed. Still Hera was hunting her. I could see why. Artemis was a powerful mage, but could there be another reason? “Cheer up bud, she’ll turn up. Didn’t you say you wanted her to leave?” Marcus asked. I was glad we were back on talking terms even though he was a pain in my ass. “I do,” I scratched my growing beard. We were at Silver moon, a fae nightclub. We weren’t technically allowed to be here. We sat upstairs in the VIP lounge. If any high rank dinemus saw us we would be in deep shit. A hierarch like General Storm maybe but I’d met other angels mingling with the gorgeous fae women. “So you want her back so you can send her away?” Marcus asked, taking a swing of some purple beer. When he said it like that it sounded dumb. “I want to make sure she’s okay. She was taken and I don’t know where Orion took her.” “You’re hooked man. You think you’re in love with her?” It felt like a display of plates shattered in my he

The wind was mischievous. It pushed my hair around like a child.“This place is… alive isn’t it?” I asked Orion.“All nature lives. You should know this.” He grumbled.He had to say goodbye to his wife again. I felt bad for making him leave when she had to be one of the reasons making him stay. Though, there were dimensions dying as we spoke. Olympiad needed all the help it could get.“Well are there spirts that give hugs?”Orion stopped and looked over his shoulder then forward again. “Something hugged you?”I tucked a strand behind my ear. “Well, I don’t know. I felt something last night. Something warm.”He continued walking. “There’s a high chance that was Sophia… your mother.”“My… mom?” I stopped, when Orion didn’t I hurried to catch up to him.“Yes, Apollo must have told her you were here and knowing her she wanted to communicate.”“How can I communicate back?”“It’ll be difficult. The best way would be to get to her personal dimension, but it’s difficult to get to.”“Why?”“Be

It might have been the dumbest decision I ever made, but it paid off. I felt the portal open in Jundis. A sickly part of town lost to the mage dimension in the early days of Hera’s madness. I doubted it was her at first. What would she be doing there. Knowing Artemis there was a good chance she ended up there by accident.“Dude, emergency meeting.” Marcus poked his head into my office and said.“Now?”“Yeah. Solaris is pissed.”It was a bad part of town, I needed to get to her.“I can’t—”“You do know Solaris right?!” Marcus’ brows shot to the ceiling.She would never let me live this down. I’ll give her two minutes then I’m out of there. I’ve been searching for days. I had to follow this up.Marcus and I got to the throne room. My mother paced the length of the room. Avon and his son Jason sat on the thrown as she raged. Her emotions were out of control I could tell by the black clouds outside. She rolled her blonde river hair into a braid and bound it onto of her head.“Close the do

Olympiad is Falling, The Rise of Artemis Epilogue - Artemis
Three three dimensions had scars, Paradis less than the other two. The mage dimension was left without a ruler so the gods handed it to Solaris to protect something she wasn’t thrilled about. She imprisoned the troublesome General Storm and had her husband under a strict leash. I had to admire her, she’d lost to much but was able to keep the iron in her fist.Jason fell from Paradis after plotting to kill his brother and now crowned prince of Paradis not to mention my husband of now three weeks. In a sudden twist of fate Alpheus got his wings back. Everyone had their eye on him. It was great and all, but I doubted he and I would be friends soon.“Artemis.”“Yeah?”“Are you coming?”Daylen was already knee deep in the hot bath. After we got married we developed a little appetite for sex in water. We were in Olympiad where we spent most of our days since my mother wasn’t keen on me leaving after so many years apart.Things would change when Daylen finally took the throne, but we didn’t
Olympiad is Falling, The Rise of Artemis Chapter 40- Daylen
Daylen opened a portal when we came out of it we were at a place with pink and orange skies. I marveled at the beauty of the area. The air smelled like perfume. The grass was short and purple. Was this a dream? Had Daylen accidentally killed us both. When I turned to ask him where were he’d taken off his hoodie. Revealing a set of soft abs.I blushed and brushed a strand of hair out of my face. He reached for his belt buckled and undid his pants my eyes went wide. First I looked around to make sure no one was watching. The area looked pretty much deserted.“What are you doing! Why are you getting naked?”He nodded at the medium pool of bubbling silver water.“You want to take a bath now?”In response he pulled down his pants… with his boxers too. Oh my gosh. I looked at his face or else I would be glued to his package that was already standing.“Uh… what?”“Want to come in with me?”He stepped out of his jeans and walked to the edge of the pool. Did I want to? This was so sudden. It w

“You need to hold a hearing with the King and Storm.” I told Apollo.“Difficult because they don’t want to see me. It was hard enough getting into Paradis.”“Tell them you support a Paradis without Solaris. That should get their attention.”Apollo bobbed his head from side to side then nodded. “Fine. If you hear explosions know your time is up.”“Fair enough.”We went our separate ways. The castle was crawling with guards and unfortunately Marcus wasn’t around to get me inside. He found a lead on Stella’s whereabouts. Apparently the shapeshifter has a cave where it stores all its victims.“You’re not thinking about getting in through the front entrance are you?” Artemis asked me.I eyed her and wondered how dumb she thought I was.“I’m just asking Daylen.”“Of course not. The castle as weak spots. We’ll get in through one of the sides.”She nodded. We got up to walk along the street when a spark between our palms jolted us apart.Artemis winced. “Ouch.”“I’m sorry.” I said, holding ou

We ran into the streets. I had no idea what Daylen did, but thank goodness it worked. I didn’t know how long it would last which was why Daylen and I were running down the muddy streets of the mage dimension.He grabbed me and pulled me to his chest. I blinked at him a couple times.“Now Daylen?”He shot me a look. “We’ll get out of here faster if we’re flying.”My mouth formed a small o. “Are you sure you want to do that?”“It doesn’t matter who sees anymore. My secret’s out.”He took off his hoodie and handed it to me so it wouldn’t be ruined when he summoned his majestic wings. Despite the franticness. I relished the thought of seeing his wings again. I didn’t like the pain on his face, but when the gigantic set of wings came out they shimmered despite the fact that there was no light to shine on them.He wrapped one arm around my waist and I locked my fingers behind his neck.“Hold on.”We sored through the sky, my hair blinded me through most of the flight, but flying was an expe

“Daylen!”Solaris sent us somewhere. Somewhere safe it had to be, but where in the dysfunctional world was safe right now? I was cold thanks to the mist that hung loosely in the air and grabbed at my skin.“Artemis?”A soft mist obscured my vision. Seconds later the mist was sucked in by the ground. Daylen’s doing. I spotted him and ran into his arms and was separated the second I was in his arms.“Oh my gosh.” I ran my hands through my hair.“It’s okay. We’ll figure this out.”“How! They captured your mom. We have no idea where we are.”“We’re in the mage dimension. Paradis isn’t safe anymore. Now that my secret’s out.”He pulled me into his arms. It was the safest place for me right now.“I’m so sorry Daylen.”He gripped the back of my head, “It’ll be fine.&rdquo

“Artemis come here.” I demanded.“I don’t want to.”I groaned, “I just want to hold you.”She poked her head out of the hall leading to my room. “And get blasted out the wind?”Ever since the blood bond kicked it’s been getting stronger and stronger. Most times it does nothing but when I want to touch her I’m hit with electricity. It’s been at its worst today.“Please come here.” I said softly, but she wasn’t buying it.She hurried back into my room. I doubted I was sleeping there tonight. I pursued.“Stop.” She said when I got to the door.“Artemis my love.”“I don’t want to see you.” Her voice cracked.“Why not?”“What’s the point when I can’t be near you? I’ll have to go to him soon, won’t I?”I hated what this curse was doing to us, to her. I crossed the distance between us. I took her into my arms bracing to be separated with light, but nothing happened. When nothing did she melted into me and I heard her release a shaky breath.“I’m sorry.” I stroked her curly hair and she gripe

“Your majesty your brother is here to see you.” The giant grey ogre roared into the throne room.I flinched. Honestly those things could not speak at a normal tone.“Send him in.” I said.“Yes your highness.” He shook the earth beneath my feet as he walked out. I was hunched over my tactic table overlooking every city I’d conquered and yet to conquer. I waved my hand over it so Jason wouldn’t see it. I didn’t fully trust him. I knew he was going against our mother by trying to kill Daylen, but didn’t mean I trusted him not to do me in so he could claim all the glory.He was an attention seeker like that. Didn’t care for Daylen, but something about Jason was he always wanted to seem something he was not. Thanks to my father. I’m nothing like Avon sometimes when I look in the mirror I see more of my mother than I do anyone else. It burns like acid on my skin if I’m being honest.“Jason, what brings you here?” I ask as if I don’t know.He marches in, scrawl on his face like the boy that

General Storm dragged me to the queen’s court room. Behind him followed the king and the guards holding Daylen. They ambushed us. Now who knows what’s going to happen to us? Queen Solaris frowned at Storm and I, but her eyes widened with alarm when the guards marched in with Daylen.“You have five seconds to explain this or you all die by my fire.” I swear I felt the heat radiating off her.“Hear us out darling—” The king approached her, but her hair blazed a brighter shade of blonde like lightning.Her eyes turned to dark blue of the evening sky. I believed her when she said we would all die by her fire.“Don’t darling me!”“Your highness, this boy has been conspiring against you! He’s been working with this powerful creature.”Solaris rolled her eyes and pinned them on Daylen.“We’re not conspiring against you.” I blurted out.General Storm shook my arm, “Quiet you. You’re in the presence of her royal highness. You could be facing death!”Daylen lifted his head to face his mother.

“Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t use your powers, don’t do anything to draw attention to yourself Artemis. You’ll get into the castle with Marcus.” Daylen said.Solaris’ castle had to be the most magnificent piece of infrastructure I’ve ever seen. A castle with twelve towers and blocks made of glass and marble gargoyles. Crystal clear material but no one could see what was laying beyond whose walls.“Why can’t I go in with you?” I asked him.“Because people will assume you’re my lover.” He grunted.“She kind of is dude.” Marcus sighed.He looked at me and I looked away. He grabbed my chin and made me look at him. He smirked. I groaned. I didn’t want to see that. Walking across the street into that enormous castle had me shivering.“I just don’t want people associating us because it’ll put you in danger.”“How romantic.” I rolled my eyes.“Hey. I’m serious Artemis. I need to make sure you’re safe.”“Yes, yes I got.” I wrapped my arms around myself.“Marcus will take you to my office. Wai
