Well I ended up giving the Golden Apple to Athena. In return she gave me an encyclopedia set from 10 years ago. So much for infinite wisdom. Anyway on to the next fight. This time we will be looking at a certain blessing and a certain curse that can be bestowed on a being.

Blessing of Artemis: This blessing is given to those that wish to become a Hunter of Artemis. It can be given to any maiden and increases their natural abilities with a bow, making them on par with Apollo's children. It also increases their hunting skills and makes them immortal. As a draw back, a person with this blessing can still die by normal means, such as being killed in combat or poisoned. Also if a young maiden falls in love, Artemis may kill you (or just turn you into a jackalope).

Curse of Achilles: As its name suggests, this the was curse placed on Achilles by his mother to make him invincible, except for his heel which she held him by. This curse comes with great power, but it is incredibly risky and has draw backs of its own. On the plus side, you are almost completely impervious to any form of attack as your body becomes as impenetrable as the Nemean Lion's pelt. Your reflexes and natural abilities in combat also take an impressive leap, allowing you to mow down armies of enemy monsters. On the flip side, your Fatal Flaw will increase as much as your strength, making you (in a way) more vulnerable. You also tire more quickly. Lastly your one weak spot, the Achilles Heel, will result in death if hit.

So knowing all this, if a pair of identical twins had one of these, which one would come out on time. Would the Huntress be able to catch her prey or would the impenetrable warrior plow past all her attacks.
