Jason stood before the four other hunters who worked for him. His forest green eyes sweeping over the group. He rubbed his hands together and smiled, “Alright, we are going on another hunting trip. Everyone roll up you bags and get ready to head out. We got a long trek to the southern border. We haven’t hunted there in ages!”
Nobody said a word as each person gathered their hunting items; Jason, Vivian, Bane and Charlie all carrying bows and arrows, as guns and ammo had long run out. Nnuku stood still, nothing on her back and nothing in her hands. Jason shook his head at her, still not understanding how she was always able to bring back some meat, while he wasn’t remotely able to catch things at all sometimes.
He turned his head out towards the group, “Alright, we are sticking together today. Luna and Solaris both came from the southern border, that’s probably where the pack is from honestly.”
Nnuku cocked her head, “You sure? I’m good enough to go out on my own. I’ll be fine. No predator will bother me.”
Jason shook his head, “You are the daughter of Zeus, not a hunter of Artemis. No animals obey you.”
“Yes they do. They feel my aura and leave me alone.”
Vivian spoke up, “Leave it, Nnuku. Just come on.”
Nnuku huffed, “Fine! Fine!”
The group traveled on as Charlie looked over each and everyone’s bow, “Good makes, good models, oh and Jason yours could use some tuning, but otherwise nice!”
Jason grumbled and snatched his bow from Charlies hands, “Thanks.”
Charlie smiled, “No problem!”
Bane paused at the front, holding his hand up to pause the group, “Bear tracks! Don’t know how fresh!”
Nnuku peaked over his shoulder and discreetly took a sniff, “Not fresh. We can keep going.”
Vivian narrowed her eyes at Nnuku, “Oh yeah? How do you know?”
Nnuku rolled her own eyes, “I just do. Lets keep going.” She started to walk forward a bit, while the rest of the group just stared at her. She turned around, stomping her feet as she did so, “Lets go!” She pointed to the trail, while everyone looked at her.
Vivian threw up her hands, “Explain! You always hunt alone. You have no weapons, but you always come back with something! How?”
Nnuku pursed her lips, “I guess I’ve been living with you for about a year or two, it’s time for you to know. But Jason, this needs to stay within all the Hunters. Nobody else needs to know my secret.”
Jason nodded, “For sure! For sure! Go ahead!”
“My father is Zeus. Zeus is known to change his form into animals a lot. He gifted me that power.”
“Hold on. Hold on.” Said Bane, “That’s totally wicked! Your dad is cooler than mine! I’m actually jealous!”
Nnuku smiled, tight lipped, “Is that enough?”
Vivian shook her head, “No. Prove it.”
Nnuku turned her back to them, and in a condescending voice said, “Alright.” Her body shook, and as her hands and her feet morphed into paws, her nose elongated and the clothes on her body started to disappear. She started to shrink down, into the size of a large dog and fur sprouted along her newly shaped body. A hyena.
Vivian nodded her head, “Alright. Fair enough.”

A couple of days after the hunt, in another part of town, Zax strolled along near the pen that he had set up for the oxen he had found, who he named Charles. He was carrying a bucket of oats and peaches and wanted to feed the ox to made sure he stayed healthy. When he got close to the pen, there was a young girl leaning over the fence, half of her upper body was on top of the oxen as she scratched it all along its back and up by its head. Charles was leaning into her hands, and tapping his right back foot like a dog, obviously liking the scratches. Zax didn’t see this as he dropped the bucket and ran forward, “Hey! Get outta there! What are you crazy?!”
The oxen, Charles, startled and bolted out from underneath the upper body of the girl, who fell forward, half of her body hanging over one side while her feet were almost up into the air as she was about to fall onto her face into the pen.
Zax caught her feet and pulled her back as she laughed loudly. “Oh my goodness you startled us!” She said as he grabbed her waist and plopped her down onto the ground on the correct side of the pen.
“Scared you? You scared me!” He puffed, “That’s my ox! Who do you think you are? Getting into my pen with my ox!” His hand swiped away at his thick, curly brown hair, pulling it back from his own eyes.
She slapped his hands away from her side as she turned back toward the pen, her long curly black hair swishing against his front as she stepped onto the pen rails again, clucking at Charles and trying to get him back to her. “Don’t be such a worry wort.” She said as he made a sound of disbelief.
Zax’s eyes widened, “Oh my god!” He grabbed her waist again and pried her off the pen, “Get off you crazy lady! Get away from my ox!” He spun her around so she had to get through him to get to the pen. “Why are you petting my ox! He’s not your pet. He’s a work animal. He does work.”
The girl threw her hands up, still laughing a little bit as she did so, not taking the situation serious what so ever. “Whatever!” She raised her eyebrows when Zax crossed his arms at her, showing that he was serious. “Alright. He has the same name as me, and he’s cute.”
This caught him off guard, and he tried not to laugh at her reasonings and her adorable pout. She obviously had good intentions, and he was super protective over his livestock that he hadn’t realized that maybe she was harmless. “Mhm. Your name is Charles?” He said, still trying to be serious.
“Well,” She laughed, “Charlie. Its close enough!”
“Not even!” He said, “And he’s not cute. He’s a big, tough, strong male ox.”
Charlie rolled her eyes, “Yeah, one who likes scratches behind his ears.” She started to turn away, “Can I come back and pet him, at least?”
Zax uncrossed his arms and looked her up and down, trying to see if there were any bad intentions coming from her, he couldn’t find any in his search so he sighed, “Yeah, as long as I’m here.” He wanted to make sure he was there, just in case anything bad happened. He kept telling himself that, but in reality, he just wanted to see Charlie again. The little spitfire who had caught him off guard.
