The small child walked through the forests of Greece, on her way to Olympus. She grew in appearance every minute, until she looked like a twenty four year old woman. Her instincts told her that she was close to her destination. She continued walking in the direction she was going until she felt a presence.
She turned in a full circle until her eyes rested on the most handsome face she had ever seen. He had black hair and onyx eyes. He looked regal, yet a playful and mischievous grin stretched across his face.
Her wish was long forgotten, she made her way to the man.
What is a beautiful goddess such as thyself wandering alone in the forest? He asked.
I am on my way to find my father, she replied.
And who is your father? He asked.
My father is king Zeus, king of the god's. She replied.
I am Chaos creator of the universe. And what is your name? He asked her.
My name is Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin of Apollo. It is nice to meet you. She replied to his question.
As the two continued to stare into one another's eyes, they started to feel strong emotions for each other.
Would you like to come with me to my home. I can stop time so it it feels as if you never left, Chaos offered.
Blushing, Artemis accepted his offer and he took her to his home.
As they got to know one another, their love for each other only grew. What would have been nine months later, had time not been stopped, a beautiful silver eyed, black haired baby girl was born.
Chaos and Artemis loved the child very much, but Artemis knew she couldn't stay. She had to go see her father and make her proclamation.
Chaos? She asked.
Yes, my dear? Replied Chaos.
Can you please take me back to my father? Artemis asked him.
His smile fell, but he agreed to take her back to Zeus and unfreeze time, so long as Artemis promised to visit whenever she could. Artemis and Chaos took her back to the spot where he had replayed time.
Artemis changed her appearance back to that of a five year old and made her way back to her father's palace. Once she got to the throne room, she ran to her father.
Daddy! She exclaimed as she ran into his lap. Artemis quickly won her father over and gave her what she desired. So she took up the oath to give up all men except her love and become a maiden forever. No one even knew that she was never a maiden in the first place. She even allowed women who already had children to join the hunt because she herself was on the way.
Artemis kept her promise to Chaos and visited whenever she could. Her child and love were all happy, along with herself. But trouble arose years later when Artemis decided to introduce her child to the rest of the Olympians.
