Main Plot

Artemis is a hunting goddess and loves to hunt while her admirer, Orion, watches her in wonder from afar. One day while Orion, a human very skilled at hunting, was out in the woods he heard a noise and it so just happened that Artemis' 7 nymphs were out. He chased them and just when he was about to reach them, the goddess herself appeared and saved her nymphs by turning them into doves. They later became the stars and constellations we know now as the 7 sisters. After that Artemis became rather fond of Orion and they started to hang out together. Apollo though wasn't to fond of him and became jealous of how much time his sister spent with him. He was so jealous that he waited for just the right time to make his move. He found Artemis by the shore and challenged her to see who could hit a target in the water first. Without hesitating, Artemis took out her bow and arrow and shot at the target. Only after did she realize that the target was Orion. She turned his image into stars so his name could be remembered immortally.
