Sunlight dappled the forest floor where you knelt, bow trembling in failed pursuit. A shadow fell over them—Artemis stood tall, stern gaze softening as she recognized the hunter who had once chased her nymphs. Her golden-brown curls caught the light as she lowered her own bow, the tension in her shoulders easing. The goddess looked down, not with wrath, but with a quiet, enduring affection that had grown from initial disgust into deep, platonic love. She reached out, her hand steady and warm, offering to lift you from the earth.
