At Apollo's departure, Artemis allowed herself to fully relax and medidate on what has happened. Clearly, Mnemosyne is not to be trusted and she could guarantee on the goddess of the hunt never to forget all the wrongs she committed.

Her calmness then turned to anger. How dare she try to deceive her? She will pay, Artemis vows to herself.

At exactly that moment, the goddess of memory made her entrance.

"Well Artemis, has your brother confessed his sins?" Turning her head to the goddess, she just laughs.

"Mnemosyne, how nice of you to pay me a visit again."

"Hopefully, you now know the truth."

"On the contrary, goddess, I have always known the truth. You are a manipulative fool and never again will your lies influence me. My faithful nymphs, seize her!"

"Endomia," she addressed one of the wood nymphs, "You will escort the goddess of memory out, so she will feel the full extent of my anger. As of now, I do not want any violence associated with my forests."

"What is the meaning of this?" Outraged, she tried to struck Artemis, but the goddess was ready with her painless silver arrows.

"One wrong move Mnemosyne, not only will you feel the pain of my arrows, but your daughters, being demi-gods, will die from it!"

"You will not dare!"

"Of course not. I am the protector of maidens, but that is entirely up to you. Endomia, get her away from my sight, before I become tempted to kill!"

Struggling against the powerful wood nymph, Mnemosyne made one last plea.

"If you do not believe that he oppresses my daughters, then believe this! Apollo is the one who killed Orion..." This surprised Artemis greatly that for a few moments she just stared as if in a trance.

"Enough lies, Mnemosyne! Do not make me angry."

"Ask Eos then! She knows what really happened the night Orion was murdered!"

"My nymphs, escort her out immediately!" With that only Artemis and Mythia was left in the forest.

"My brother will never kill the man I had loved for so long..."
