Summary
Artemis is born screaming.
She is born with toohot sunlight scorching her veins and a womb she wishes to claw out with weakling fingers. She is born with names on the tip of her tongue that have not been given. With languages that do not yet exist. She is born speaking Greek and Hebrew, Tamil and tongues the goddesses have never heard before. Words that won’t exist for thousands of years trip off her tongue as she begs and cries and pleads. But prophecy cannot be returned. Only passed on.
For better or for worse, for worse being the more likely, she has been blessed by four goddesses of prophecy, and though only two may have been intentional, Artemis is born seeing far too much.
“If it is in your power, give me all that ails her. Curse me with what makes my sister weep and scream out, so that I would bear it upon my own shoulders.”
Gaea mourns, and she does.
