But his little victory was short-lived as Artemis grabbed his neck with her free hand and kneeled him in his nuts.

Michael let go of her as intense pain rippled through the joint between his legs. Artemis didn't stop, she punched him hard on his face as he fall on the floor. With the next blow on his stomach, Michael rolled on his stomach groaning in pain. Michael threw his hands up, in surrender.

"I quit," he yelled as Artemis was readying herself to throw another punch. She smirked.

"What happened? Lost to a girl. But I remember you saying, 'girls are fragile, they couldn't handle one blow, huh?" 

Artemis mocked his previous words. 

"I...I didn't know you were that strong" Michael panted. His breathing was uneven. He was taking large inhales of air. Being Commander of Olympus, being defeated by women, was full of embarrassment for him. But the person with whom he was fighting, is not a mere woman, she is Royal Archer, her special powers included perfect aim with the bow and arrow, the ability to sense danger. 

Artemis was surprised at first but didn't show it on her face. Michael was not easy to fight with, in fact, he is the toughest guy she has ever seen. Artemis put her hand forward to Michael. Michael looked up at her startled but took her hand. She helped him up as he stood tall to his full height. 

Michael was tall, but Artemis was tall too. She was only a few inches shorter than him. Her height was a gift to her, it makes her look more confident, more dangerous, more intimidating.

"So, you gonna admit that girls are strong, 'stronger than men’?” Artemis asked amused. 

”Yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night,” Michael rolled his eyes. The defeat was not anywhere near his vocabulary. But here he is standing in front of the person who defeated him.

"Why so grumpy, big bro?" Artemis said, poking his chest. 

"I was not prepared, Lil sis," Michael said as he dusted the soil sticking to his trousers. It wasn't true, he was prepared but not mentally. 

He just underestimated her.

But he was proud that his little sister was not fragile, she could easily overpower the battlefield with her bare hands.

 
Looking at her, always makes him miss their mother. 

Aphrodite was seeing everything. She stood near the tree and watched the sibling's interaction. She did not want to disturb their moment. It is quite rare to see both of them together, due to their different duties. 

Artemis and Michael were alike, with the same silver hairs and green eyes. Even though their hai cuts were similar, Artemis never liked long hair so she cut them down in pixie cut. The only difference between them was their physique. Michael was a large man with muscles decorating his body, whereas Artemis was quite lean. But her body was full of muscles too.

Discerning someone's gaze in them, the duo turned around, only to find Queen Aphrodite looking at them in amusement. They quickly bowed down. 

”So, what's going on?" Aphrodite inquired, knowing the answer. Artemis smirked at Michael.

"Oh, nothing Your Highness, just showing Michael, how fragile girls are."

Queen Chuckled at the retort. But her smile faded as she remembered why she came here in the first place.

"Well, Artemis I need you to accompany me,"

"Can I know where My Queen?"

"Reynes Kingdom," Queen said.

The color drained from Artemis's face. It only meant one thing, and she was not ready for this.
