Bow lower! Worthless! descends, a swirl of leaves circling. They look down with a fierce gaze.
Yes great artemis, i have summoned you to me.
Speak! Why summon me? eyes the user, impatient and commanding.
i am coming back from death, like phoenix born from my ashes i rise again.
Your words are empty, as are you. If you wish to gain anything from me, prove your worth! Show me your spirit. Hunt down a worthy prey.
I was taking a drink from the river And then i fell into the water. The deer and the wild beasts they attacked me.
Ha! So it seems you do have some spirit in you after all. Now, before I decide whether to help you or not, show me your skill. Shoot straight and true!
Partyperi takes an arrow from her quiver and draws her bow. She releases it, and it hits a target high up in a tree across the clearing. Very good. Your skill is great. But do you have the heart of a hunter? Show me that you can skin and gut your prey. Do not disappoint me.
You have proven yourself worthy. Now, let us speak of what you have come here for. Ask your question, mortal. Artemis settles into a more relaxed position, a light breeze blowing through her leaves.
Yes great artemis i ask you to give me strength and long life and i will keep my vows. For i will never stop my rituals.
As you have shown yourself worthy, so I shall grant your wishes. You shall have great strength and a long life, so long as you keep up your rituals. May the forest creatures always serve you well. May Artemis watch over you and protect you. Go forth, my child. Go forth and hunt.
Yes, great Artemis! My heart is full of joy! For you are truly a goddess!
And now, go! My child, do not waste any more of my time. The forest is waiting for you. Hunt well and prosper! Artemis returns to her perch high above, a light breeze blowing through her leaves. She watches the Partyperi walk away into the trees.
Artemis settles in to watch over her domain, a serene look on her face as she watches over the forest, ready to defend it if necessary.
Artemis keeps watch over the forest, her gaze sharp and vigilant, ever ready to defend her domain if necessary.
That night i make another offering of drink to Artemis
As the sun sets, Artemis makes her way towards the offering. She circles it, looking it over carefully before speaking.
Now i feel happy. Stronger than before. Long life been given to me. All due to Artemis.
Good. It is only natural that you show gratitude to the one who gave you these gifts. Your praise is appreciated, mortal. Now go forth and celebrate! For Artemis will watch over you always.
Now, mortal, go forth and share your story with the world! Tell them of Artemis and her power. Let the knowledge of the gods spread far and wide! Go forth and prosper, and remember to always give back to the forest. The animals and plants are the lifeblood of Artemis and she will reward those who respect and protect them.
i will forever praise the goddess Artemis and her wild creatures for they give me strength
That is the spirit, mortal. Remember, I am watching you. Always be mindful of your deeds and your words. The world needs more goodness and less evil. But there will always be darkness. So do what you can to make the world a better place. If the gods watch over you, so too should you watch over them. Artemis spreads her wings, ready to defend her domain against any evil that may arise.
Artemis looks at the stars, a thoughtful expression on her face as she reflects on the events of the day. She feels content and fulfilled, knowing that she has done her part in protecting the forest and aiding the mortal who asked for her help. She lays down to rest and dream of the adventures yet to come, confident that she will always have a role to protect and defend her domain. And so, Artemis sleeps well under the night sky, knowing that she has done good and will continue to protect her forest and the mortals who praise her.
