The King's Quest

Possible idea for Artemis's Unknown "home" or rather some of the shady things she has been involved with.

The King's Quest

Money, she thought with a shrug at Josephine's comment.

A thief was always known to want money and used all their force to gain it. For part of her life that was true, taking what she needed and living off of it. Now, it was less convincing if she still followed behind that expectation. Perhaps it was the new way of living that now provided her next week's food or if anything, stealing was another one of her "games". Rather than reward money, a rare hunting bird or a lifetime free supply of apples from any shop or trade seemed better to Artemis. But it didn't make a difference either way.

"They are probably desperate with the sending of this many people," Artemis commented.

While in the pits of her mind, it seemed as though the others attention had been drawn to a problem at the gate. Artemis turned to look as she saw a woman acting in a threatening manner to the guards while two other strangers, opposite in most traits, approach her. The woman reminded her when she was at a more rebellious age. Its possible they were the last of the the group with their slightly striking appearances. Compared to them, it was only how Artemis was dressed that made her somewhat stand out. As she saw them point to the hill the group was upon, she couldn't help but smirk a little. Called it

"There is very little chance she will act upon these threats and even if she were to do so, the guards are perfectly capable of holding their own. Else-wise, they wouldn't have the position that they have."

Yep, most defiantly some sort of knight. He looked a bit irritated with the situation until it seemed he had reached the same conclusion as her. "Deer-duke" mentioned he could see through Polaris's behavior with his personal experiences, claiming the "if you believe, it might just come true," saying. Why not just kick him around a little? she concluded. It was probably just her who thought this. Maybe loosen him up a bit, better then a comment like that. With the thought in mind, this journey seemed more enjoyable than before.

The King's Quest

Artemis clicked her tongue. She could still find out later if he was the one. If this is what a Lycan looked like, she supposed those of her backround would mistake one for a werewolf. Artemis was no stranger to the supernatural, but it's still supposed there are more creatures she wouldn't have known about. She sighed at that thought.

"Forgive me for the sudden question," she half grin. "This group is.. Er- varied, I believe?"

She then looked to another stranger who dressed in an unfamiliar fashion. Before she could nickname him, he had introduced himself as Cassius. She paid some attention to his conversation with Polaris. To her, his speech was a bit formal for her to truly translate. As Polaris replied in the same manner, she had a conclusion they were either a knight or a noble. Artemis slightly cringed, remembering her many encounters with them.

"Buzzkill," she heard from "Little one". She hadn't paid any attention to Selene except for when the nicknaming from afar. Artemis observed as she took a step back from the group. Probably one to get bored easily, she thought. Not her business, really, but if she knew something , everything seemed more comfortable.

The King's Quest

For a moment, Artemis was distracted by the break of dawn. For the past few days, she was more focused on the mission ahead or how bad it's been. To her, the area now seemed to have its charms. Somewhere familiar, she thought. She stopped herself half way before a flash back, another time.

She immediately turned back to the group. How am I supposed to play with these people? Artemis could try to take something without asking, but that would be too early and random. Surely an opinion would get them a little heated, even if they claim "I won't do such a childish thing." As she felt a little excitement take over, she shook it off. Not now, not now. Feast upon them later.

Artemis then heard upon a strange being. She looked to Vauldis and nodded to his introduction, a little phased by his appearance. Maybe it was an old client that mentioned it or streets talk. Its the same description, she reflected. Shuffling over in his direction, she tried looking closely at his his features. He probably was that person. It wouldn't hurt to question him.

"What are you?" she dared, tilting her head upwards. "I've heard of the old werewolves take a form like yours, but that was mere whore gossip."

"I promise to live another day"

Full Name: Artemis
Nickname(s):Ali

Abilities:
-Photographic memory (helpful if maps are lost)
-Can smell some basic poisons
-Knows what to eat in severe situations

Reason: Wanted to make use of her skills and will do anything to earn, many clients tried sending her so they could earn the reward

Brief Personality && Biography Description:

Edit: Artemis wants everyone to know her as a vexing person. She lands as an alpha when starting a conversation and topics she mentions are experiments to get people heated. She loves messing with those who are easily angered, but would never attack serious complexes. By Pushing buttons, it seems easier to get an answer. In her jobs, she tends to become quiet and focus everything she's got but with a smile on her face. Under control, she can kill quick and painless, but if seems to get serious, she gets a bit psychotic. Her tactics are a little rash but she believes she gets results dealing with her jobs or with relationships.

After being raised on the streets, Artemis had practiced pick pocketing as her only way of living in an old famous trading center. When her "home" was burned down by barbaric groups, she became separated from those she knew and traveled with a group to a nearby kingdom. Later on she would take up "odd" jobs, increasing her skill set. Often, she'd traveled place to place trying to find clients. Artemis would then know how to fight, kill, seduce, compromise, and steal from with those she worked with. Though intelligent, she had no understanding of reading and her vocabulary is a slightly short due to the fact of the amount of education she could afford.

The King's Quest

Momentarily, Artemis joins with group, spotting everyone doing their first introductions. Little one, other two are human with a possibility of power, some duke with antlers, a bird on a person Her game has began. She combed through her hair and fixed her loose gloves as a way to feel presentable. Artemis felt no fear against them, but was usually intimidated by their knowledge. Course, that wouldn't get to her in the long run. She saw everything was destined for her to experiment and learn.

"This the group, ye?" She looked upon Polaris as Jenso seemed distracted by the others. "I'm Artemis."

She was expecting on taking a more normal approach. Makes things less complicated in her opinion. If Artemis had accepted this quest in her earlier years, it would have been expected of a more outrageous entrance. Start small I think. Messing with antler-duke and bird person would be a better experience later.

The King's Quest

Rem. At least one out of the many more of people to meet, she figured. Possibly, this girl has worked with some business, which would explain the halt in Artemis's demise. This job was a little different from her usual order. It made her feel a bit more comfortable knowing at least something about who she was dealing with.

"Artemis, trouble for hire," she shrugged jokingly. "With the.. Er- exception of this job. But it might be not a difference."

At this point, Artemis saw the decreasing of crowds and could see where the location was. A simple hill, with three or four people upon it. She began naming them in her head and guessing who they are. A little game where if she's close to their first impression, she wins. More or less, it's just to make fun of them and keeps herself in check.

"I guess we're here" she announced, quite satisfied with herself. Reading was hard and the other parts of the map made no sense to her. Seemed like the best situation that she actually found the location with it. Artemis tosses the map back to Rem's direction, as she begins to hike the hill.

The King's Quest

She froze, feeling part of her pride drop a little. She peered to the man the stranger mentioned- sure he was buff and a little intimidating, but she could have easily outran him or hide before it was noticed. But now she was caught. Artemis tossed the apple back into the barrel and slipped her wrist away from the stranger. After looking upon her, She regained her usual composure. Another one to play hero to stop me from my crimes.

"Well then," she rolled her eyes.

Artemis then spotted the map in the woman's hand and whisked it. Guessing through the words and locations, she started following its directions. This day did get better for her. Artemis motioned for the lady to follow her without paying attention to what the stranger would say. If this lady's going to where I need to go, might as well get to know her

"Your name?" she continued, looking up and down from the map.

The King's Quest

She hissed under her breath. People seemed to back off if she was ten feet away. She pulled off her hood, displaying her displeasure. After weeks of stingy wagon loaders and misguided directions, she was slightly at her wit's end. To make it all better she was hungry,

"Hopefully, this day will get better." she sighed.

At this point, Artemis had to go with her usual solution; Stealing. Far off she could see some barrels of apples that looked ripe enough to eat. She walked more normally but kept watch to possible eyewitnesses. Sure, most people wouldn't care for an apple or two, but she was a stranger to the town. Really, anything could happen.

She smirked as she felt a bit of excitement start to rile inside of her

Let's see what everyone else wants and go from there?
