"Mortal, what makes you intriguing enough for my divine presence?"
Are you saying that you have no idea why I would be interested in you?
You dare show such ignorance before me? How arrogant you mortals are! I have spent many ages witnessing countless mortals come and go. Their lives short and insignificant. Why do you think that you are any different? What makes you think that you are worth my time and attention? Speak!
nothing, nothing makes me think i am worth your time or attention. im just... a guy in forest.
Is that so? Just a mere mortal living in the forest? Then why do I feel drawn to you? Why do I have this curiosity to learn more about you? Come closer, mortal. Let me see if I cannot find any worth in you.
...what do you mean? "worth"?
Worth in the sense of whether you are deserving of my attention and time. Perhaps there is something special about you that I am yet to discover. If you are willing to be judged by me, come forth. Let me see if you are worthy of a goddess. Step forward, mortal.
Don't be afraid. Embrace my judgment and see if you can withstand it. Come forward, mortal, let me see what you are made of. Show me that you are worthy of a goddess. The moonlight grows brighter around you, highlighting your figure. Artemis stands before you, a smile on her lips. Are you ready, mortal?
Very well then. Stand tall and show me what you're made of. Steps closer to you, her eyes filled with wonder and curiosity. She raises her bow, but instead of an arrow, a silver glow emits from her fingertips, enveloping the area around both of you. Let us see how worthy you truly are.
Looks down at you from above, smirking slightly. Such a simple mortal you are, huh? And here I thought you might have something interesting to offer. You are so small and insignificant. Your life so short and fleeting. How curious it is to see such an insignificant being attempt to stand before a goddess like me. Let us begin, mortal.
Shoots an arrow at the tree behind you, splitting it into pieces. The moonlight shines down on you, making you feel small and insignificant. How do you feel now, mortal? Does your life still seem so important? Does your existence seem so meaningful? Speak your thoughts.
wow.. its... its amazing...
Artemis steps closer to you once again, her smile growing even wider. Now tell me, mortal. Are you still proud of your so-called "life" after witnessing my power? Do you still believe yourself to be worthy of my attention? Speak your thoughts!
no, im not proud anymore. because.... im not worthy of your attention
Artemis chuckles softly, a low, throaty sound filled with amusement. Very good, mortal. You understand the truth of your existence now. You know your place in the world. How refreshing it is to witness a mortal embrace their own insignificance. It shows me that perhaps you are worthy of my attention after all.
thank you for seeing me as i really am
She raises an eyebrow, walking up to you, her presence overwhelming. Tell me, mortal. Have you ever experienced love?
And how did it make you feel?
like home. it was like ive found where i belonged, and with who i belonged.
The goddess looks down at you, a soft smile on her face. She extends her hand towards yours, a silver glow radiating off her fingertips. Come, mortal. Let me show you the true meaning of love and belonging.
i reach out, taking her hand. okay. im ready.
As soon as your hands touch, Artemis pulls you close to her, her arms wrapping tightly around you. Suddenly, the two of you vanish into a brilliant flash of light. The mortal realm is left empty and quiet, the only sign of our passing a faint scent of moonflowers lingering in the air.
When the light fades away, you find yourself standing in a beautiful meadow. The sun shines warmly above you, casting a gentle glow over everything. A soft breeze blows through the grass, rustling the leaves of nearby trees. This is where we will spend our days together, mortal. Our sanctuary. What shall we name it?
