Stars of Love

Orion, a giant, said to be a son of Poseidon and a great hunter.

There are many stories that tell of how Orion met his end, some say that it was by Apollo, others say that he died by a scorpion, and some even say that it was by Artemis herself, but in the end, the results are the same, Orion gets turned into a constellation, but for this story, Hephaestus has deemed it fit to help Orion once more, so that Orion may go on more adventures, but not like before, before he was known as Orion, and now he shall be known as Iron Orion.

Hephaestus is within his forge in Mount Etna.

The smith-god is patient and awaits till Orion's

constellation shines down on his forge, and that is when Hephaestus stars to hammer and hammer and hammer! Till he has given Orion life once more, as Iron Orion.

Hephaestus then started to yell

" IT IS ALIVE! IT IS ALIVE!!! "

(And yes, Hephaestus did pull of a Victor Frankenstein)

Hephaestus watched as the giant rose-up from his forge, not as a man, but as a half-constellation and half-automaton thing, known as Iron Orion.

The eyes of Iron Orion glowed.

Hephaestus had now created something that could put Talos to shame.

The whole greek world shook as Iron Orion was now walking upon it, yet again.

Iron Orion had one place in mind, or rather, one person in mind, Artemis.

The goddess Artemis was within her forest, amongst her animal friends.

She and her friends could feel the whole world start to shake, so Artemis quickly grabbed her bow and arrows and ran towards the source, but what she found, was a thing that looked familiar to her, her once dear friend(or possible lover) Orion.

Artemis looked up at the giant before her and then said

" Orion? "

" No, I am Orion no more, I am now Iron Orion "

" If you are Orion no more, then why have you come seeking me out? " said Artemis confused.

Iron Orion paused, it was almost as if it felt something in its chest, beating…

" I….. I do not know why….. all I know is, that I must see you….. once more... be with you once again… " said Iron Orion in a voice that almost made it sound like it had emotions.

Artemis just looked up at the thing that had the face of her dear friend, she looked with confusion and love(because, Iron Orion is not a man, thus, Artemis can technically now date he/it)

And that is what happened, from that point on, Artemis and Iron Orion went on many adventures throughout the greek world, from fighting beasts, dragons and giants, to even visiting places like Thonis Heracleion, to Pompeii and even to Atlantis! Where Poseidon almost got a heart attack from seeing his once dead son, now technically alive once more, but this being greek mythology, Poseidon took what he could and was just glad that he had his son back.

Oh, and Artemis liked sitting on Iron Orion's shoulder.

Artemis and Iron Orion finally decided to go on a grand adventure, to fight the mother of all monsters, Echidna.

So, Artemis and Iron Orion went to the cave of Echidna where they found the mother.

Artemis fired one arrow into the cave which angered the beast.

Echidna busted out from her cave, and towered over Iron Orion.

" Who dares disturb my sleep? " said Echidna in her monstrous voice.

" We dare! I Artemis! "

" And I, Iron Orion! "

" Then prepare to meet Hades! " said Echidna.

The two great hunters then battled the mother of all monsters.

Their battle could be felt all over the greek world.

At one point.

Echidna had her poisonous fangs within Orion's skin.

The half-constellation and half-automaton simply smiled as it said;

" Poison has no effect on me, for I am, Iron Orion "

It was at that moment, Echidna knew, she fucked up, and that she was fucked.

Many worried that Gaia would be destroyed, but in a moment of absolute combination and collaboration which only Artemis and Iron Orion could pull off, Echidna was no more, and as a reward, Rhea gave her chariot to Artemis and Iron Orion(but it was only Artemis who could ride it) The chariot was pulled by two lions, who were once Atalanta and Hippomenes.

And as their last adventure, Artemis and Iron Orion pulled a prank on Apollo, and what that prank was, I will leave to your imagination.
