When in your life did you feel the most alone?

Alone? Artemis is never alone. With her nymphs and her hounds, she always has someone to roam the wilderness with. There is always someone to occupy that empty space beside her. There is no need for words. They simply need to be there and that is enough for the goddess.

Although, she cannot forget her companion, her fellow hunter, Orion. She sees him every night. She looks up at the sky and sees the stars. The mortals gawk and point out his belt, one of the more obvious aspects to his constellation. Artemis cannot forget Orion and she cannot forget that first night that she looked up at the sky and came to the cold realization that there would be no more friendly hunts. There would be no more conversations. There would be no more Orion. Artemis felt truly alone then, when she spoke to her friend and there was no response.
