Premise
While unknown by the Hunters of Artemis, Artemis herself has trained and lead a secret group of around 100 male hunters since the dark ages.

Story
Location: Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming, 1977.

The Hunters of Artemis were tending to their duties, some coming back from a hunt, others preparing their tends while several others built Artemis' in no time at all. Zoe Nightshade and Phoebe were giving orders, and the sound of wild wolves and birds of prey could be heard around them, like they were giving orders too.

Artemis had left the camp around an hour ago, telling the other hunters that Apollo wanted to talk to her on Olympus. Less do they know, Artemis has left for a completely different reason

Boys Camp
When Artemis arrived in camp, she rolled her eyes, seeing the boys playing out their usual actives; wrestling, preparing weapons, huddling round a camp fire doing "boy things". But she realised the boys messing around were a bach of her newest recruits from a few years back. But now that she was at the boys camp, she knew what she had to do next. She focused for a second, and then she began to change. She became taller, more bulky, her hair turned to a dark brown. Her clothes changed into tracksuit bottoms and a pale blue jacket. But her eyes stayed the same, or his, she would have said. Turning into a boy at the sight of the boys camp wasn't something she was used to, but she thought it was necessary. She put it behind her and started walking down a short path into camp, and the other boys instantly noticed.

By the time Artemis was standing at the campfire, all the boys were bowing, except the lieutenant, Samuel, who she knew was busy searching a map of Wyoming looking for small towns to look into for recruits. She looked back at her bowing hunters, and one looked up to her Artemis had been careful to make sure the boys didn't know she was Artemis. She made up an entirely new personality and appearance to make it so. Enyos, she called herself, the twin brother of Orion who took over his role as the great hunter after his death. Had they known, eventually they'd figure out about her girls, and all of Tarturus would have broken loose. But still, a part of her wondered what would happen if they knew who she really was. From what she'd experienced from a group of boys, she didn't know wether to trust them around her hunters or to forbid them forever. It was only as Enyos that she truly pondered these feelings.
