Olympus, as always a sight to behold. Artemis who was always, even as a child drawn outside watched the soft white clouds float by and found peace in the soft songs of birds around her but something bothered the peace she had discovered, a horrible feeling that pricked at her heart. She allowed her instincts to carry her and sway her feet where they needed to be, as she went she felt her fingers softly caress the drooping flowers watching her, nature was as important to her as Apollo was which meant a lot. Before she even knew it her feet clicked silently against the shining floors and her fingers curled around the knob of the large doors, her lips fell slightly agape realizing where she was. She slipped inside elegantly as her dress flowed behind her and landed in beautiful lace at her feet as she stopped, this wasn't what she normally dressed like but she often took a small break from the hunt. Her beauty was rare and quite natural although many men gazed upon it they never dared any romantic gestures. Chastity was her promise, and because of that she rarely got along with her sisters on certain topics. She looked about the marvelous room with soft touches of cream sheets and dozens of red roses in bloom. As expected other sacred items littered her chambers in golden bowls but the goddess was nowhere to be seen, at the moment of course. "Aphrodite?" Artemis called out softly gazing about the beautiful chamber, Dity seemed shocked as she turned with various items of gold and silver in her hands and then Artemis noticed the bag awaiting to be filled by the side of her bed. "Sister, what are you doing? Are you alright?" Artemis asked stepping closer and reaching a comforting hand out to Dity, the same feeling pricked at her heart as she saw the goddess of beauty and love looked worried and distraught. Perhaps she shouldn't have bothered Aphrodite as early as she had but her heart already whispered that this is where the fates wanted her to be. Lyssa Highman/Aphrodite

The dark curse was to be released soon the goddess felt it call. Like a swan song of dying fury. She had to be there when it occurred . the curse meant peace and freedom from the bloody nightmares of her past. Gathering up what tidings she could Dity was no fool money would make her comfortable in this new land and she would have plenty.
Holding an arm full of treasure that had been given to her by admirers. Only halt at the sound of Atremis voice. The two goddess though never truly close and rarely spoke did from time to time bump into one another. Placing the armful down not wanting to alarm any one of leaving for it would get back to Ares and then Zeus. The sheer thought laid panic within her heart.
Coming back into view her soft pale pink chiffon toga drape over her body . sister good morrow what do I owe the honor of you in my Temple. she smiled half heavily. Trying to at least pretend all was fine. But even she couldn't fool the goddess of hunt. Moving swiftly to her sister side a finger rest a upon her lips.
Summoning a cloaking spell so no one could hear them. I'm running away but please you must not tell a soul . I no longer feel as if I belong here among our family . Ares keeps me as trophy and I .. choking on the words incapable to say them with out tears filling her blue green eyes. I don't love him and fear I never will.

Although Artemis rarely confided in Aphrodite and vice versa she was prepared to listen, whatever it is that lay so heavily upon her sister's shoulders. Her charming smile, although still as beautiful as always was clouded by fear and terror and Artemis felt her own heart grow tight in worry. She gently looked around them as if she could touch the spell that hid them from their family, but the words Aphrodite spoke were far too important for anyone to hear. Even telling them to her was a risk in itself, there's no telling what their father would do if he were to find out or Ares.
"I do not know what to tell you sister" she frowned, not truly understanding how the goddess felt since love did not truly live in her heart, not for a consort "if that is truly how you feel then you must leave, find yourself elsewhere as I do every time I leave for the hunt" but she did know how it felt when you were not where you felt as if you truly belonged "Perhaps your love for him was never meant to be" but of course Artemis was shocked to hear the words leave her mouth.
On Olympus they were considered a perfect couple, meant to be together through the ages but when the goddess of love itself doubted her heart then perhaps it was true, perhaps they never were meant to be "I am sure to regret this course of action" she sighed gently stepping past her sister to touch the pedals of a dying rose until it blossomed once more in her palm "but whatever it is you need of me I shall assist you? Zeus will surely sense your absence, he will find you unless" she turned to face Aphrodite with a soft smile "I can take you from this place, of course it won't be entirely your taste of travel" a familiarity she shared with her brother was a smug smirk, the very one that grew on her lips.

The fact that Artemis didn't laugh or scuff at the feelings she harboured. Watching as hunting goddess stood moving to the wilting rose that Ares and Eros had given her. For a moment guilt struck goddess just thinking of the another child she would have to leave behind. Holding her self arms wrapped snugly . Shocked Dity jerked her head about mind going painfully clear at the other goddess offer. you would do this ? You would risk helping me ?mouth gaped open eyes glazed with unshed tears. Smiling standing Dity had always been free with hugs and so over come with emotions . the goddess rushed to Artemis side embracing . thank you thank you Artie , don't know how wonderful it is to hear . that someone wants to see me happy rather then just be a mindless trophy. leaning back eyes searched over the natural beauties face. there is a curse coming one that will take people far far away. I tend to be part of it, Ares nor Zeus will be able to find me. I'll get to have a seminormal life. arms dropped away from Artemis hands clamped together in front of her what ever way it is I care not , but I desire my freedom no matter how I get it . a

Artemis being the goddess that she was did not usually receive warm embraces, but she relaxed into her sister's touch and smiled softly. She turned to face Dity with a confident smirk but gentle eyes and rested her palm on her sister's soft shoulder.
"Of course" she confirmed "father has gone mad with power and rage, it is not safe for us on Olympus anymore. If we do not protect one another from his wrath then none of us are to survive" it was the truth, their father had become a person no one knew. His gentle words from their childhood a mere memory as he accused them and yelled at them daily.
"I have heard whispers of the curse, I'll take you through the trails of the woods that father allowed me to have upon Olympus. There is a doorway to the other realms, it is how I leave when I hunt. It is the only way to sneak you out if you are willing to do what I say. It will not be easy. Father placed beasts within the woods for me, for my skills to enhance. They are cursed to never leave that threshold but they will smell us once we set foot on their soil, it is a dangerous journey sister. Are you willing to risk your life for your freedom?"
Artemis circled her sister once to move closer to the window, the sky was slowly darkening as the sun set in beautiful shades of orange and pink. Stars already glittered against the pale canvas that is the sky and time was running short.
"You should pack your things sister" Artemis turned to look towards Aphrodite with a determined smile "nightfall is upon us in moments, we need to leave as soon as we can. No one will find my absence suspicious as they will yours. And no one would expect the goddess of beauty and love to trudge through the woods filled with horrible beasts and dangers" Artemis gently took her sister's hand "but I shall protect you" and she let go to offer the goddess a final chance to pack her belongings, whatever they may be.

Aphrodite bowed her head as she pondered over the question Artemis . was she willing to risk her life? Then she thought back to the first day back what Ares had told her what could possibly be more nobler to died for then love? The chance at it was enough to bring the goddess come running to idea with open arms once more. Never mistake to love it was only mistake to remain miserable and though this cage has no bars it still kept her trapped like bird yearning to spread it wings.
It is worth I just want to be able to live again perhaps it would be best to pack light making a small sack of gold , dagger and a cloak. Poofing them on her person taking her sisters hand . forever grateful for the other goddess help. Smiling sadly wishing it didn't take such Drama to bring them together.
when do we leave for this journey ? At night fall ? once the savior broke the curse she would come back for Eros but for now she had to leave her baby behind. If Dity took their child Ares would rip apart the heavens to find him. Tears entered her gaze once more another child Left by her to dangle in the wind. sister please do me one favor if you do leave Olympus tell eros I loved him an that one day we will be back together. voice wavering.

Artemis watched her sister closely sad that she would leave Olympus and as much as they'd lost as a family to their father's wrath and anger losing Dity saddened her deeply. She agreed, she'd risk her life everyday if it meant freedom to live her life as she sees fit. Artemis would keep a close eye on Eros for her sister's sake, there was no way to take a child on this dangerous journey, the path they'd take was littered with beasts and monsters that sometimes scared even the huntress.
"We leave now sister" she held her sister's shaking hands within her own and a beautiful green mist took them elsewhere, no longer were they in the luxurious chambers Aphrodite called her own but rather outside beneath the pale moon light facing the dark forest upon Olympus. The tree line began perfectly but strange sounds could be heard from within and the deep comfort Artemis felt in the twinkle of the stars was depleted underneath the thick canopy of leaves.
"For your sake sister Eros will be protected as best I possibly can, as a favor to you. Come we must keep moving, staying in one place adds to the risk of losing our lives" with the soft wave of her hand Artemis no longer wore the dresses mother insisted upon but rather wore appropriate clothing matched for the hunt and her silver bow rested upon her back as a safety measure. She glanced over her shoulder and gave a reassuring smile towards her sister.
"we travel for the caves to the west, therein lies a portal to wherever it is you wish it" if only she could do more for her sister but there was no way she could abandon her own duties and a warm feeling within her chest made her positive they's meet one day soon.

CloakThe green took them into the heart of the forest , one place where Artemis felt comfortable but the Dity felt the opposite. Making her cloak appear on her body. Pulling the hood over her head it like a security blanket . made her protected amongst the creatures deep in the dark forest. Nodding her head Aphrodite rushed after the limber huntress, gathering the chiffon material in her arms . the only solace that stayed with the goddess of love . was her son Eros would be looked after, Ares could not be allowed to take away his light . the rustling of plant life behind them made Dity halt and turn about pushing her hood back so her view was not to be block . the roar of tiger could be heard in the distance. The game was what father brought in ? Wide eyes filled with terror examine the surroundings before running once more . The cave wasn't a far distance surely they would make it sister dear please tell me your bow and arrows are within prayers reach. glancing back over her shoulder her hair floating wildly as she briskly ran . Spotting the tiger jumping from the bushes and charging after the two goddesses.

Artemis was well adapt to the ways of nature, her ears had long ago picked up the beast stalking them and her eyes caught his movements before Aphrodite had spotted the regal tiger running straight at the pair. She sighed stepping in front of her sister, her protective nature easily sprung to the surface and held her hands already aiming at the tiger. At her will the wonderful bow hephaestus crafted sprung to life in her hands in soft silver mist that resembled the sparkle of the stars above them.
"Of course sister" she told quickly over her shoulder "but it's not the tiger you should be worried about" the frantic claw in it's run and terrified growl told Artemis all she needed to know, something much more fierce was approaching. Father had sufficed the forest with animals from every corner of the world, even the beasts known from myths. An arrow easily ended the run of the tiger and it fell limply against a tree root, upon further inspection Artemis noticed the deep claw marks upon it's back. She'd seen it before and fighting the coming beast with Aphrodite would not be an easy task.
Instead she quickly pushed against her sister's back in hopes of avoiding the fight altogether "run! Run right now!" she urged feeling the soft vibrations on the ground beneath her feet. She never ran from a hunt and the feeling associated with it felt so foreign to her it nearly stunned her but the risk was too large. A chimera had several threats to offer and Aphrodite was not known for her expertise in fights, and when you fought a creature with several animal traits with an innocent bystander things got tricky. Her palms lifted and thick vines made the path to follow dangerous for the beast, hopefully they made it to the caves before it cut them off.
"Do not look back Aphrodite!" she urged pushing against her sister but they could move no faster than they were at that very moment. Already she held an arrow in one palm in case they weren't quick enough then at least she had a head start. Her only priority at the moment was to protect her sister from harm, be it from family or beasts but no danger would entrap Aphrodite while Artemis watched over her.
