talk bout artie
Send โTalk about-โ and a name for my muse to talk about that person!
โ...Artemis? Where the hellย do I even start?! First, sheโs such a problem! Everywhere I go with her, thereโs always trouble! I canโt remember a single time Iโve ever been without trouble, Iโve been with her almost my entire life yโknow!โ Sigh. Every time heโd talk about her, heโd always make sure heโd let the world know how troublesome this Goddess was!ย โYou know, one time, sheย dodged the apple I threw at her; she rejected my proposal! Then she piled a shit ton of apples on my head! What senseย does that make!?โ ...Aย deep breath to compose himself.ย
โ...Artemis is, well; she isnโt the kind Goddess everyone thinks she is. No, everyone who thinks sheโs innocently pure -- well, Iย donโt know what theyโre readinโ, but that ainโt the Artemis I know. Sheโs pretty scary for her size when she wants to be, sheโs easy to annoy and sheโll probably kickย โyer ass if you say something about herย dogs. Sheโs like a crazy dog lady!โ Rubbing his head, the Archer scratches his cheek.ย โAtalanteโs like aย daughter to her, I wonder how she feels about Artemisโย dogs..beinโ a lion and all.โ
โShe can be pretty fickle, most Gods can. She got her way because sheโs Zeusโ favoriteย daughter, so whatever she wanted, she pretty much got. Sheโs super spoiled!โ Truth be told, he spoils her a lot too -- so he canโt complain about this one too much.ย โ..Ah, back on the being fickle thing -- she isnโt the type of Goddess to just strike youย down out of nowhere. You gottaย do something real stupid for her to want youย dead.โ Heโs seen peopleย do some reallyย dumb stuff, huh..ย โBUT, she is the type to get mad and start beating you with a stick if you fluster her! Iโve got personal experience with that one.โ Though, it seems thatโs more of a him problem than anyone elseโ issue.ย
โ..She once asked me why I wouldnโt become a full God with her. Why I wouldnโt become immortal. She wanted to be with me forever, I know that. The way she spoke, the way she asked...I feel a bit bad, but Iย denied her request immediately.โ His tone became softer as he reaches this topic.ย โI..well. I only told her no, because Iย didnโt want to be like the other Gods. Becoming a God has a chance of twisting your worst traits and making them the focal points -- Iย didnโt want to be like that. I had the habit of flirting with women, married, widowed. Of course, Artemis was the only woman I loved -- but I just naturally complimented women I thought were attractive and sometimes went a bit overboard in my compliments.โ
โ..So, Iย didnโt want that to be what couldย define me as a God. Because, Iย didnโt want to hurt Artemisโ feelings. Iย didnโt want to betray her trust.โ Softly, he gives himself a pitiful laugh.ย โIf..I wasnโt such a stupid guy like that, I may have taken up her offer. I wanted to be with her forever too, you know. Sheโs the only woman Iโve ever loved -- Iโm the only man sheโs ever loved..โ Looking at the palm of his hand, he laughs once more -- though this one is a bit more upbeat.ย
โI feel like..I wasย destined to fall in love with her. The moment I laid eyes on her, I was stunned. The moment I saw her in the pale moonlight -- I just felt peaceful. My chest, however, pounded. Not out of fear, not out of shyness -- out of love. Iโm pretty sure it was love at first sight, that kinda thing. At least, for me it was.โ A smile now crosses his features.
โArtie..well, I may say a lot of bad things, but most of it is all playful. Sheโs troublesome, but itโs not a bad troublesome. My life wouldnโt be the same without her trouble, so I got pretty used to it. She became my hunting partner, she and I slept together -- ah! Not in a lewd way, just..snoozing you know!? ...But, weย did that too, haha...screw you Apollo! She snores, by the way.โ He was getting off track -- jeez. Clearing his throat, he lets out an enormous belly laugh.ย
โMan, I canโt remember aย day without her in my life. Even when we werenโt together since one of us was off somewhere else briefly, I always felt her with me -- every time that moon shined on me, I knew she was watching over me. I...alwaysย dreamed of touching the stars, ever since I was a boy. Maybe, itโs because myย destiny intertwined with her? Regardless of the reason, when Iย died -- she granted my wish.โ
Yeah...he got to finally touch the stars, to BE a star; a wholeย damn constellation!ย
โ..She probably never knew it, but once I became a constellation? I was the one always watching over her at night. I could never say anything to her, I could never reach out to hold her hand...but I made sure she was safe, every night.โ
โEvery time there was a shooting star near my constellation, it wasnโt random. It was my way of crying. Itโs hard not to hold the one you love, you know? To not be able to tell her youโre OK -- to not tell her thank you for everything sheโsย done for you. I think...my biggest regret, is not letting her know how much she truly meant and still means to me.โ
Wiping the tears that brimmed in his eyes, he gave a soft smile as he gently touched just above his heart.
โ..To make a long story short, she is the woman I love, above all else. Iโdย do anything for her...mostly anything.โ
