Chapter 1: Age 18

(3rd person point of view)

Waiting and watching at a well known European celebration for the King was a young lady about 18. She hides in the shadows cast by the flickering balls of fire in the dark of the night, seeking out her prey. As she awaited her prey, she thought about how all of this started.

This young lady is about six foot, nine and a half inches tall. She has a body men would die for, thick, mid-back length hair, a light golden tan, warm amber eyes that could trap you in them forever, and a face carved of light oak. To put it in laymen's terms, she's a beauty and athletic. Just four years ago, she was nothing but a simple hunter. Her weapons of choice from best to worst skill are small knifes and daggers, bow and arrows, crossbow and bolts, hunting rifles, blunt weapons, and hand pistols. She is the best at what she does, but most don't know about her.

She has lived in the forest ever since she was seven. At seven years old, she had watched her parents die right before her eyes after their murderers disappeared. Her parents have taught her almost everything she knows. The rest she learned on her own. After they died, she didn't interact with society much. She was born with a name, but she goes by many others. The most of which are Athena and Apollo. During those lonely years, she became an independent Robbin Hood with no band. Unlike Hood, little Athena liked playing ding, dong, ditch and leaving the gifts on the porch of the houses.

But of course, all good things must come to an end. When she was 14, everything changed.
