　　"Artemis!" Selene calls out to her. She sits quietly by a small pond, ripping to pieces a small branch and tossing them on the water. Anger and irritation clearly is her mood today, just how it has been for the past years or so, she can't quite recall how long it has been since that night. 

　　Selene gathered her long silk-like robe and sits on the huge boulder next to her. Artemis moves her sword out the way and scuffs her boot on the floor.

　　Selene sighs and brings her hand 9ver her shoulder. "Sister, how long will you be mad? It's been years since I have last seen you smile. I miss that pretty face being enlightened by a happy smile." She looks at her concerned and places her chin on her shoulder.

　　"Spare me your pity, will you? You don't know what's like. If I could, I'd gone after that wicked wench long ago and recovered my beautiful babies! I hate the fact you denied us passage to their realm. Why can't you make an exception?"

　　"Artie! You know I can't do that! It's for the good of our realm and for the good of the creatures on earth. I can't. . .I'm sorry." Selene narrows her eyebrows, she can sense the sadness in her sister's voice. 

　　"And why? Why does it have to be this way? Please, Selene. Haven't I served you faithfully long enough? Just let me go down there and find them? I'll bring them back and stop Carrie from reentering! I've guarded our gateways without any trouble up to now!"

　　"Artie, please! I can not undo what has been done. I'm sorry dear sister, but we will have to wait until the time mother said." Selene cups her cheek, but Artemis pulls away furiously and stands to her feet. Her back towards Selene and she grabs a large boulder without a struggle and tosses it angrily across the pond, creating a big splash of water near them.

　　"This isn't fair Selene! I want my babies back with me! I need them. I'm nothing without them." Tears roll down her soft silky skin.

　　"Artemis I know it's hard. But, if it helps in any way, I have made sure to pair her with an amazing mate. One that will surely look after her and, believe me! He'd do anything to protect her. I promise you he will look after your daughter. And all the same with your son. I have given him great strength and wisdom. He has yet to receive a suitable mate, but I have a great girl in mind. She will love him and cherish him just how you would have liked." Selene places her hands on her shoulders. She knows Artemis is nowhere near satisfied, but surely she can at least try and give the best life possible to her niece and nephew.

　　"Is that really supposed to make me feel better? You know for a fact that nothing and I mean NOTHING will ever make me feel better until I can see my twins again. To have them face to face and be able to embrace them." She grips the hinge of her sword, making it glow to her touch.

　　"Along with ripping Carrie's head off her shoulders and throwing it to Hades' dogs to feast upon. I will not rest until I make sure she is sent to oblivion." Her teeth clenched and a treacherous tear run down her cheek to the thought of her young twins in the hands of her sister, who had the audacity to betray them.

　　Selene sighs and turns, giving her back towards her sister. "You know darn well that I would have done anything to keep her from taking your twins. It was my fault dear sister! I'm sorry. If I could redo my mother's decision I would have gladly given her my position. Maybe this way-" 

　　"Are you kidding me, Selene? Mother made the wisest decision. Carrie was unhappy with the gift mother bestowed upon her. That was not your fault. Nothing would have been any different. At least not for the best! I do believe if you would have stepped aside; she most likely would have abused from her powers. You were the best to lead us, and bring order to all the other realms."
