[Artemis has shifted herself into the form of a blonde girl child and she has no intention of changing herself back any time soon. While she may appear a child, she still has her old eyes that watch just as a hawk does.]

I wish for my attendants. You will send for them for me.

I want Iphigeneia.

She would know how to council me well. I fear Apollo is a most poor influence on myself. I never would have cursed a mortal before, merely set my dogs upon him.

But I'm not useless, I am not! As long as there are young women who need me and the moon to come about then I can not be outdated, can I? I can not be useless, I am a goddess. I am needed, surely?

No. Send for mother instead.

Damn him. Damn him to the Styx for making me question myself!

[tothefairest]

Now why would you want her?

[virgolatro]

Iphigeneia?

She is on of my most trusted priestesses and huntresses.

[tothefairest]

...oh, that explains a lot. I never did bother to read the Odyssey proper once it was translated. I thought she was kinda sad, really.

[virgolatro]

She is a valued commodity and a wise maiden.

I seek her council often.

[koreoftheunderworld]

There are principles that overcome time. You needn't second-guess yourself, Artemis.

[virgolatro]

I know that I should not but still I do so.

I fear he may be right. In a city of sins perhaps I do serve no purpose.

[koreoftheunderworld]

In a city of sin, you are direly needed. Your twin is mistaken.

[virgolatro]

It is not Apollo, he has been a rock for me but a mortal man.

He spoke obscenities to me, I ordered him to stop and then he sent me ... [See the look of distaste on her face.] homoerotic literature. I sealed his mouth shut in punishment and so he took it upon himself to defame me to the population.

He says that I am not a goddess and that concepts such as virginity and hunting are outdated.

[koreoftheunderworld]

It sounds like such a man deserves a harsh punishment. [ Persephone would hardly be so kind to him. ] Perhaps you should take something else from him? If he is so fond of sex, why not turn his pleasure to pain?

[virgolatro]

To do such would lower me to his despicable level.

Apollo is furious. He's sworn revenge on my honour.

[koreoftheunderworld]

That depends entirely on your perspective.

Then you should leave it in his hands. I hear he is capable when it comes to revenge.

[virgolatro]

I must remain a paragon of maiden virtue if I am to judge others, Cousin.

I would much rather take the revenge myself. We have compromised on doing it together.

[koreoftheunderworld]

You must also protect your reputation and your honor.

I almost wish I could see the result.

[virgolatro]

Yes, I must.

I believe it will be similar to Niobe if he does not make his apologies soon.

[koreoftheunderworld]

If that is the case, I shall ensure their souls are greeted in the manner they deserve.

[virgolatro]

I thank you, Cousin.

You would not believe the things that happen within the city.

Apollo's woman is here.

[koreoftheunderworld]

It sounds incredibly taxing. [ Precisely why she wishes to be left alone. ] Which?

[virgolatro]

It is taxing.

The Trojan Princess; Cassandra.

I think him quite unwell. He attempts to court her.
