Chapter 13
Instead of falling back to sleep, Thea decided that she needed some air to clear her head after that weird experience, since she could tell that whatever that was, it was real, since she definitely felt different than she had before. She felt stronger. She could also feel something on her arm that definitely had not been there before as she looked down at her right arm and found that she had now had a silver moon tattoo on it.
"The symbol of Artemis. I guess I really am a goddess now." Thea said, since there was no way this tattoo had been on her arm before she went to bed last night. She also felt something weird in her eyes and when she went into the bathroom to try and wash whatever it was out, she was stunned when she saw that her normally green eyes were glowing silver. Another sign that she'd become the moon goddess.
"Okay, that is going to take some getting used to." Thea said before the glow in her eyes faded and the color returned to green, which was a relief.
However, she still had too much going on in her head for her to be able to go back to sleep, so instead, she decided that she might as well test her limits now that she'd merged with a goddess and since the city had almost been at war with itself since the League had arrived, she figured that might be a good way to do it. All she needed to do was swing by the Labyrinth and pick up her gear. However, the second she walked through the bathroom door, she could immediately feel her outfit shift and she looked down to see that her tank top and pajama pants had been replaced with what had to be a new supersuit. Unlike her old one, which was really just a silver version of her old speedy costume, Thea felt like this one was a bit more her speed. This suit consisted of an armored black bodysuit that looked heavier than it actually was, if anything, this suit felt more like a second skin to Thea than actual suit and it had silver markings on the chest and silver streaks running down the arms of the arms of jacket and sides of the pants, along with silver hunter's boots, each of which had a knife holster in them, which were already filled, Thea found that her belt buckle was in the shape of a crescent of moon. The outfit even came with a new hood that was currently off, but when Thea pulled it up, she saw that it was silver and she as she put it on, she felt not only a mask form on her face, but some kind of circlet as well as she turned to look in a mirror to find that she was wearing a silver domino mask and a circlet with a crescent moon around her head with the moon pressed against her forehead.
"Thank you Artemis. I like this way more than my old suit." Thea said with a grin, since she looked even cooler in this suit than she had in either of her old ones. Silver was definitely her color. And she loved the free jewelry this new gig gave her.
I'm glad you approve. The voice of Artemis said in Thea's head.
"I didn't think I'd be hearing your voice so soon." Thea said.
I won't be long, I just wanted to be sure that you had handled the transition well. I did my best to fashion your new suit to be a combination of both our respective styles. I'm happy you approve. So long as you possess my power, this gear will always be at your disposal. However, it will take time for you to learn to master summoning it. Artemis said.
"I can learn. However, there is one thing I'm surprised has not shown up." Thea said and no sooner did she say that did a silver longbow appear in the middle of the air right in front of Thea and she found that it was in the shape of a crescent moon and had images of deer carved into it.
"Your bow." Thea realized.
Your bow now. Perfectly refitted to your needs. Artemis said as Thea took the bow into her hand and felt a quiver appear on her back and she pulled one of the arrows out and inspected it.
The arrow was silver, of course and the tip was shaped like a moon.
"I think I'm really going to like this. But can you explain why I'm not tired anymore? If anything I feel more energized than before." Thea said.
As a result of becoming my vessel, the moon empowers you. When it's full, you're at your strongest, almost a true goddess. However, on the day of the new moon, that is when my powers will be weakest and you will be the closest you can be to the way you were before. Artemis explained.
"You just mean strength wise right?" Thea asked.
Yes. However, I cannot remain much longer. I have used up the strength I had to commune with you this long. I must return to the void and rest until I am strong enough to make contact with you again. Artemis said as Thea felt the goddess's presence in her head vanish. And with that in mind, she wrote a quick note to Roy to let him know where she went before heading out to go hunting.
