Victoria Watt's Challenges (The Olympian Games)

Look, I love crabs. They make really great crab cakes and all.

Gods that sounded better in my head.

Anyways, the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, chose me for the Olympian Games as her tribute. I was kind of okay with it, since we both liked each other, until I was told that I was going to face a giant crab in some beach somewhere in Miami. Ugh.

And in the blink of an eye, I was gone.

I opened my eyes and found myself standing in knee-deep water. Around me, waves gently rolled towards the sandy beach. I looked around, puzzled, and walked towards the shore, which strangely was completely empty. Behind me was a broad road, shops and shopping malls stacked neatly along it, yet the place seemed like a ghost town. I was sitting on the sand, trying to figure out what happened to me, when a bottle, carried by the wave landed on the shore. I got up and walked towards it, realizing that a dagger was inside of it together with a rolled sheet of paper. I grabbed it and looked around for any corks, and strangely found one nearby. Quickly I opened it, grabbed the dagger, and placed it next to me. I turned the bottle upside down and took out the piece of paper.

And there, written in barely readable handwriting was,

Dear Victoria,

''Hello. As you have known you have been assigned a challenge to slay the giant crab, so I have given you this dagger. It is made of blessed celestial bronze, and it will be your weapon throughout this competition. I wish you the very best of luck.''

Artemis
