Third Person pov
Vol.2:

Apollo stood straighter, staring at his father who now stood in front of him, his height passing that of Apollo's by five inches.

Hermes stayed off to the side, watching the relative's cold exchange towards each other with a blank face.

"What was your motive by doing this? Do you think you are some sort of hero?" Zeus broke the silence.

"I don't think I'm a hero by doing this. I simply believe I am doing what should have been done a long time ago."

"What should have been done a long time ago if I may ask?"

"Ra should have met his end."

"And isn't he still trapped in oblivion as it is?"

Apollo frowned, "We don't have much time. Abigail will soon give birth to him..."

"Then you were beating around the bush for far too long..." Zeus's voice deepened. "—She was merely captured and mistaken for her sister, if you had killed her and her sister then, it would have never been this way."

"So what you want is for the continuous death of human twins to be pinned upon our heads than to end this once and for all?"

"How do we end this? The only way to do that is to kill the pregnant girl."

Apollo gritted his teeth,"I cannot."

"And why is that?" Zeus insisted.

"I have already sworn to protect her and her sister, I cannot possibly refrain from doing as I am meant to do."

"By killing her, you're protecting her."

Apollo scowled at Zeus's words. Zeus  hand on Apollo's shoulder and squeezed it lightly. "I am speaking to you as a father would speak to his son."
