Artemis' POV:

I looked around only to find myself surrounded by darkness.

"Hello, Artemis dear" a male voice said and I turned around and saw Gration staring at me lecherously as he slowly advanced forward

I stumbled back in fear as I reached for my weapons only to find myself unarmed.

"PERCY!" I screamed but Gration just laughed

"Your piss poor guardian is dead my dear, come, accept your fate" he said as he reached behind him and quickly threw something that wrapped around my form

I struggled against the item but quickly found myself bound and Gration stood over me and smiled lecherously. He then reached down and attempted to caress my cheek but I squirmed away.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted as tears started rolling down my cheeks "PERCY HELP!" I screamed again but again go no response

"Don't fight fate Artemis, Ananke as promised you to me and nothing can defy her" he said as he pushed me over causing me to fall on the ground still bound

He then reached down to grab my face but was suddenly thrown back by an invisible force.

"What!? I was promised this!" Gration roared in anger when suddenly a shimmering silver dragon the size of a four story building landed over me and let out a terrifying roar so loud I felt the world I was in shake

The dragon stopped roaring before turning its head and I saw glowing red eyes pierce the darkness before the beast opened its mouth and a golden fire glowed among its teeth. The beast then widened its jaw and a pure golden torrent of flames shot out and engulfed Gration. However, Gration just stood there and laughed.

"This is my world beast, you cannot hurt me here!" He yelled triumphantly and expected the dragon to back off

The dragon just narrowed its eyes and I watched in amazement as the flames started spinning around creating a spiral of fire that pelted into Gration. Gration took a step back as the fire became condensed until it was a beam of swirling golden fire that suddenly slammed into Gration causing him to scream in pain.

'This may be your world, but I am the king of dragons, my word is unquestioned law' The dragon said in a strange language that I never heard before but it seemed to be translated to me this one time 'Leave, and never return or I will find you and you will feel the might of Midgardsormr' it finished in its ancient tongue and I noticed it's voice was far older than the image given

Gration just scrambled back as the torrent of fire finished and he pointed at the dragon in fear.

"Y-You... F-Father destroyed you! H-How are you alive!" He shouted in disbelief, but the dragon only laughed a slow laugh

'I am eternal, undying, and all powerful, your father was nothing but a host I used to regain energy. But, he was no longer useful' Midgardsormr said and it spread its wings wide and lowered its head toward Gration 'And since you did not heed my warning, you will be my first meal' It finished before laughing as Gration scrambled back and vanished into the darkness

Midgardsormor then walked away and faced me. I felt my binds vanish and I stood up shakily.

'Open your eyes little moon, this nightmare is over and I do believe you shall be left alone, but expect the unexpected and believe in the unbelievable and the impossible will be made possible, for fate is not what it seems and its threads bend and curve in the most elegant dance of twine, your fate is tied with another, one far more powerful than this world has ever known. That much is known as it has been written in the stars that have shone for eras before fate was created' It said before the image flickered and vanished and I fell through the floor
