Thief Of Truth's Heart

Chapter 23

"Uncle P, just hear me out-"

"Silence!! I shall castrate you for your heinous crime!!"

"But Uncle P-!!"

"Time to die Apollo!! Stand in a single place, dammit!!"

"So you can kill me?! Absolutely not!!"

"Die Apollo!! Die!! Why don't you just die?!!"

"You know that we are immortal right?!!"

"Forget logic, I will find a way- Just stand still!! Hitting a moving target needs a lot of concentration!! Just accept your impending doom!!"

"Poseidon, hold your murderous thoughts for a bit. Apollo, stop jumping around the Council Hall."

"Why Zeus?!!", Poseidon roared. "Why should I spare your son?! He got my innocent, little princess pregnant!! He deserves to get tortured down in the dungeons of Atlantis!!!"

"Uncle please just listen to me-"

"I. Won't. Listen. To. You. Die, you little pest!!"

Apollo yelped before he dodged another blast from his Father-in-law's Trident, the blast taking away a good chunk of the wall behind him. Eyes wide with horror, Apollo ran for his life and hid behind his eldest uncle.

"Just look at the poor boy Poseidon. Let the matter go. Your daughter is married, and my little niece is not little anymore. Accept it already.", Hades told his younger brother with an amused smile.

"Just because I know it, doesn't mean I have to like it!!", Poseidon complained, glaring at his son-in-law, who was peeping from behind Hades and squeaked before completely hiding again.

"You got the news quite a bit ago. Why didn't you come before now?", Zeus asked sarcastically.

"Atlantis Court was put on hold for a solid three months before Triton managed to shake off his shock and go back to the Court, all the while cursing Apollo. I just got out of my shock a few minutes ago.", Poseidon replied immediately.

"So you immediately came to Olympus to play the overprotective father role. How kind of you.", Zeus sassed his elder brother.

"Definitely. I love my little princess, and unlike you Zeus, my daughter actually loves me just as much as I love her.", Poseidon told him with a smirk.

Seeing Apollo slowly getting out of his hiding place and staring out of the open window, Poseidon pointed his trustworthy Trident at him.

"Not on my watch. Not on my watch!!", Poseidon snapped. "Stay right where you are if you want to live."

Apollo paying no heed to the warning of his father-in-law, continued his walk to the open window until he was standing right next to it. Gazing out of the window, he murmured slowly. "The Sun is not brought up in the sky."

Hades tried to make Apollo understand that Poseidon really didn't care about such minimal things compared to his daughter. "Apollo, I know you are very serious about your job, but I think your life is more important than your job, no offense-"

"The Sun is not out, Uncle.", Apollo repeated with a far away look in his eyes. "It's seven in the morning, and the Sun is not up yet."

"If you think that your sense of duty is going to save you, then you are wrong.", Poseidon hissed.

"The Sun is not up yet, Uncle P.", Apollo repeated again, greatly confusing the big three Gods. "Kill me after I drive the Sun Chariot through the sky and make the Sun rise. Lana was awake when I saw her last. She would be sad if she won't be able to see the Sun."
