Chapter 36: Captured by the Huntress

The arrows were still flying

As our young hero

Gave up to his chasers

Yet it was too late

As arrow after arrow

Came sailing on through

The air,

Slicing into Yami’s body

Tearing him apart

Causing him to fall

Without the arrows dying down

The pursuers finally reach him

One tripping over him

Not noticing him lying there

Causing them to halt

Their stampede through the village.

They look down on him

Staring at him while his life is

Slipping from his fingertips

For they feared of what might

Become released from within.

And so they stood there

Waiting for their fearless

Leader to descend upon them

Barking her orders and all.

Oh! But hark!

These are women

Ladies of the hunt

That had chased our hero on

Through the forest

And into this village

That we are now in.

‘What are you standing there for?’

Cried out the very one

That they had been waiting on.

‘Go ahead and grab him

He won’t be doing anything

Anytime soon.

So go on then,

Secure him so he doesn’t

Have all the time in the world

To recover and come after you.

Great gods, you would think

That this is you first time

Hunting anything before.’

All of this,

Was coming from

The goddess of the hunt, Artemis.

She being sent on down

In order to do the will

Of the gods of Olympus.
