Chapter 1: Getting to know us
This had to work, it was all well planned, but her actions had to be precise for it to work, the giants Oto and Ephialtes had become too arrogant about their immortality, capturing Ares and demanding that she and Hera surrender to them.
If it had been any other being, they would have already killed them and they have tried, but the gods or mortals cannot kill them, maybe the demigods, but it is nothing confirmed and they did not want to risk anything, so they sent her the plan. It was simple.
Having them beat each other or better yet, murder each other, they may return later in time, but they will no longer have the tactical advantage of having a god locked up and threatened.
With any other opponent that plan would fail 99%, but the giants had yokes the size of a giant mountain, making them easy to irritate and manipulate, but that doesn't mean the plan had a 100% success rate and she had to. play your cards well.
- I see that you have come, goddess of the moon, but I don't see Hera anywhere - Ephialtes was the first to speak, he was the most dangerous, because he was the most intelligent of the
- Free Ares first and then we can talk about the exchange -
- They think we are fools, "goddess", we know that as soon as you have Ares in your hands you will escape with him - It was Oto who spoke now.
Artemis frowned at the giants - And what confirms otherwise? That after they get what they want they won't just keep Ares captured? -
The three of them looked bad, both sides were right, but Ephialtes was the first to speak.
- If we are going to fulfill our part of the deal it doesn't matter now, what does matter is that we have Ares and if you don't bring Hera and they both give themselves to us, we will kill the god - He would speak with a sarcastic tone.
- Go ahead, over time it will reform again and they will give us free rein to finish them off without consequences - What Artemisa said did not satisfy the giants, once again a stalemate.
- Brother, we should accept... Then we can catch Ares again... Or why not, even some goddess - Artemis frowned at that last bit, she, as a goddess who defended women, did not like what the giant was saying.
- Don't be an idiot, brother, you're letting yourself be carried away by lust, think with a cool head. Why settle for any goddess, if we can have Hera and Artemis? Don't let yourself be blinded and focus on the main objective - Artemis was now angry and disgusted with what Ephialtes said.
She narrowed her eyes, preparing to "exhaust", the giants seeing her intentions attacked, the first to move was Here, who tried to hit her with his club, but she jumped back, as soon as she touched the ground she transformed into a deer starting to run.
Ephialtes anticipated his movement and stood in his way, preparing to impale it with his spear, so increasing his speed he transformed into a bird, flying in front of the giant's face, who hit himself when trying to grab it.
Oto was quick to catch it, but it transformed into an insect, escaping from his sight. When it was at a safe distance, it transformed back into a deer and began to escape again. Oto, upon seeing that he was deceived, ran quickly towards the deer in anger, without seeing how everything was surrounded by fog.
When Ephialtes got up he only saw a deer running in front of him and because he was dazed he did not think about his brother, throwing his spear, Artemis to mock them removed the fog that surrounded Oto, making Ephialtes shout his brother's name and The latter turning around only to see his brother's spear approaching to put an end to it, just when Artemis was about to celebrate her victory, the spear was stopped in the air.
Both the giants and Artemis opened their eyes, they never expected someone else to intervene - Hey, be more careful when you are hunting deer, look how you almost murdered your partner - They saw a young man has short golden hair with bangs that extend over his blue eyes. He is tall (1.85 m), with broad shoulders, long limbs and a well-built figure. Your daily outfit consists of various tunics and flat shoes - Also, what are you? How did they grow so much?
Artemis was worried about this stranger, he was an ally of the giants, she doubted it, but the fact that he was not their ally meant that he was her ally, he was a third player on an unknown side.
Oto and Ephialtes frowned when they saw a human interfering in this combat, they did not know the human and they did not like that, so Oto, being the most impulsive of the brothers, grabbed his club tightly and tried to crush the stranger, but he himself He defended himself with Ephialtes' spear, stopping the club that was going to crush him.
- Oi, is this how you thank someone who saves your life? - Oto only got even more angry so he raised his club again but before he finished raising it, he was hit with the blunt side of the spear with enough force to send him flying a few meters.
Ephialtes and Artemis opened their eyes at the scene, the force exerted to perform that movement and at that speed was something to take into account in battle, but Artemis, being the goddess of nature, also felt something else coming from the young man, she felt that he He was similar to a dryad or satyr, he felt connected to nature itself. Maybe he was a demigod, son of Hermes or Demeter because of his connection to nature, but that wouldn't explain his strength or speed.
But Ephialtes came out of the shock first and recognized how dangerous the individual was and that filled him with rage, everything was going so "well" so far, but he had to come and ruin it so with all his fury he ran against the small man in front of him. at him and tried to hit him with his fists, but he himself began to dodge each blow in such a simple way that it filled him with rage.
- STAY STILL ARTEMISAAAA HELPER!!! -
-Who is Artemis? And how am I helping her if I stop you from killing your brother? - but Ephialtes did not listen to reason, he wanted to crush the man, until he himself got bored of dodging and cut him with the sharp side of his spear, cutting his right cheek. He was going to make fun of her useless effort, until he felt something drip on his hand, it was blood, his blood, it wasn't healing, this man increased his danger level to over 8000 - Sorry for cutting you, but I tried to reason with you and your brother, but you only managed to attack me - Artemis was also in shock, here in front of her was someone who could kill the twin giants.
Ephialtes, recognizing the situation, immediately ran towards his brother, to realize that his lip was broken. This confirmed his theory, the man could kill them, so he picked up his brother and explained the situation to him, making the latter open his eyes, the two of them stood up. They looked with the same idea, to kill the little man.
Artemis took advantage of these moments of distraction from the giants and transformed into her humanoid version, surprising the blonde, who felt a very powerful energy coming from the deer, but he never expected to see her transform.
- So you are Artemis - It wasn't a question, I was just stating a fact - Can I ask, why do they want to kill you? -
Artemis, despite being at a good distance, heard everything well, due to her connection with nature, first she frowned, because it seemed that the subject did not recognize her, but she did not give importance to that for now, whether she liked it or not, she He needed an ally, so she answered his requested information - They don't want to kill me, but they want to trap me and abuse me - She saw how he frowned, especially at the last thing and she understood it herself, no one likes to hear that they are going to abuse or are abusing someone - Why not murder them? From what I feel you are more powerful than them - That made her open her eyes, she was able to feel their presence, that was information for later.
- It's true, but they have some special protection, no god, mortal or monster can kill them, in the best of cases hurt them - The guy nodded, understanding the situation better.
- I imagine you are a goddess first - Artemis just nodded - Okay, so how do we do this? Do you have any plans?
- One, but you will have to trust me to a certain point - The guy frowned, but nodded, implying that he would trust.
Just in time they saw the giants again, who were charging at them. Artemis returned to take her deer form and started running next to the guy, facing the giants, where the spear and the club collided strongly, creating a small shock wave. When Ephialtes was about to hit the guy, he received an arrow in his chest. the skull, but in the same way he entered and left, the giant was healing and it was only a mere distraction, but it was enough time for the guy to move and now, letting Oto finish crushing the ground, he appeared on top of them, when he was about to impale Ephialtes, Oto delivered a frontal blow, sending her flying. He had to accept that it was a good blow, anyone else would have died, but he didn't, he only managed to look seriously at the giants.
What was never expected was that Artemis would appear in the middle of the giants and these same ones wanted to take advantage of the "carelessness" of the goddess, so Ephialtes turned to catch her, he never saw the hand signal that she sent towards the stranger.
They never noticed the spear that was approaching them quickly and impaling them, while Artemis transformed into a fly and flew to the heads of the giants and, launching an arrow into the air with her hand, teleported to a distant area, at the same time. The blonde guy appeared on top of the giants and with the same arrow he stuck it in Oto's entire skull.
Ephialtes could only try to catch the blonde, but he had no strength left, his own spear would be the reason for his death and all because of a damn blonde.
_ 5 Minutes later _
The young blonde only saw how the bodies of the giants were lying, he did not feel sorry for them, but it was not a pleasant sight to see either.
Until he felt the goddess approaching him.
- Do I want to know who or what you are? No mortal can do a tenth of what you have done - She had planned to take him to Olympus and see what they could do with him, she herself had to accept that he would be a very powerful ally for Olympus, as well as a very powerful enemy.
- You're wrong about that, I'm mortal... or so I think to a certain extent - Artemis frowned at what was said - and who am I? My name is Naruto...
- Very strange name for these parts. Where do you come from? -
- From far away, more than I would like to accept -
- I need you to come with me -
- That? -
- I need you to accompany me, you are a very powerful stranger and I have to take you to Olympus -
- Oh come on, I just helped you face these two bastards and not only kill them, give me some time -
- Olympus is grateful, but it should not. And my duty is to take you, I can't let you roam the territory at your leisure, so you decide mortal, you go peacefully or I have to take you by force -
-You can't leave me alone, I mean take all the credit for the defeat of those two-
- Despite it sounding tempting, I cannot do it, I repeat for the last time, you are a very powerful unknown, you are a variable that could very well be against Olympus -
- And what would happen if I were against him? -
- Isn't it obvious? We eliminate you as soon as possible -
In the clearing there was a dead silence, no one said anything, because everything had already been said.
- I hope you forgive me Artemis -
- That …? - But before finishing his question there was an incredible flash of light, which made it seem like his brother was coming down with his solar chariot. When it dissipated, Naruto was no longer there. Normally she would get angry and burst out looking for that man, but just this once, she was going to be grateful and not chase him, but next time it would be different.
