Artemis

__//** Artemis **//__
Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt. She is known most as the goddess of the hunt, but she is also the goddess of wild animals, fertility, the wilderness, and the moon. She is the twin of Apollo, and the daughter of Zeus and Leto. She is usually drawn with a bow and arrow, since she is the goddess of the hunt. Of the many stories of Artemis, here is an interesting one about Artemis and Orion. Artemis and Orion were partners for a really long time. They became acquainted when they stumbled across each other while hunting. Orion realized Artemis was a very skilled hunter. They hunted together when they were chasing after a deer. After they killed it together, they decided to be companions. They hunted, sported, and challenged each other through the summer and became great friends. They sat around a campfire together one night and fell asleep. The next morning, while they were     asleep, Apollo came and saw Orion and Artemis together sleeping and got furious. He held back his anger, and woke them up. Artemis invited Apollo to breakfast. After breakfast, Artemis had other things to attend to, and left Apollo and Orion alone. As the day went on, Apollo and Orion became better friends. Orion mentioned Artemis and him being really good friends, and Apollo got furious again. He took it that he loved Artemis. Apollo went away immediately. When Artemis returned, she found Orion crying by a tree. She took him back to his house where he fell asleep. He had a dream that he was attacked by a vicious scorpion. When he woke up, he knew this was just a simple dream, since he had never met a monster he could't kill. However, when he walked outside, the scorpion nightmare became reality. He got chased into the sea soon after. Apollo visited Artemis and told her about Orion. Now she became furious. Apollo showed her Orion at the water, and he was still being attacked by the scorpion. With bad aim, Artemis shot the scorpion, but the bad aim caused it to hit Orion. He soon died. Apollo ran away, knowing of Artemis’s anger. Artemis had a trait for being kind and loving, but had a terrible temper.
