I was at my sun Chariot when my grandson Pranjal called me. He was a person who would call me only when situations are dire. So, when he called me, I could not ignore him and flashed myself to my temple.
When he told me about that Indian demigod, I was seriously scared. You may think, but Apollo! You are a god. Why should you be scared of a demigod? The problem was that that demigod had Greek blood, no doubt. But he believed in a different Pantheon. This was the first time it happened in about a millennium.
I need to find his parent. But I have to be careful. If Zeus/Jupiter finds about it, he would not hesitate to blast off the demigod with his Master bolt. I flashed myself to Olympus. I sigh in relief.
Zeus was not around. The only gods present were Poseidon and Athena, not counting Hestia who always resided in the hearth. They were in the middle of some argument when I entered.
"Apollo! Any news?", Athena asked.
"Yes. But don't call the council.", I quickly added seeing Poseidon summoned his trident to call the council.
"Why?", he asked.
"This is a sensitive issue. Considering how rash father is, it is better to keep it a secret, for the time being.", I said cautiously.
"What is the issue Apollo?", Athena asked skeptically.
"My grandson from Camp Jupiter prayed to me. He told about something I haven't seen in the last millennium.", I said.
"What is the issue?", Athena asked, her grey eyes piercing into me, calculating about possibilities after my answer. I had the slightest flinch.
"A demigod. Unique one indeed.", I said.
"What makes you think him unique?", Poseidon raised his eyebrow.
"For starters, he is eighteen when he entered the camp. He had no necklace so was not from Camp Half-blood. Neither the tattoo so not from Camp Jupiter.", I said and Poseidon's eyes widened.
"A demigod survived without the camp for eighteen years?! That is something to note.", he exclaimed.
"Two, he knew both Ancient Greek and Latin. Like naturally. Not like where Greek demigods can understand a bit of Latin. He could understand both languages like two mother tongues.", I said. You may ask how I knew this. After I left Pranjal, I went straight to Annabeth. You may ask why. It was because she was the one demigod who can solve mysteries. There are no children of Minerva in Camp Jupiter. Since she is an Athena Spawn, she can solve cases. When I had a small chat, she told me that he was comfortable in both Ancient Greek and Latin.
"So, maybe he is a legacy of a Roman God but the son of A Greek God? Or vice versa?", Athena chipped in.
"That is the only possibility. Like Frank Zhang, He is a legacy as well as a demigod.", I concluded and Athena nodded in acknowledgment.
"Third, the important one, he is an Indian and still believes in that pantheon.", I said and both instantly paled. Athena's eyes were wide in shock and Poseidon gripped the trident too tightly for its liking.
"What??", Athena whispers.
"Yes. An Inter-pantheon demigod. That is what makes me concerned.", I replied.
"If Zeus hears about it, the demigod would be in grave danger. It can earn us the wrath of the Hindu Pantheon. I surely do not want to face their wrath!", She shakes her head in fear.
"What shall we do?", Poseidon asked.
"First of all, let it be a secret within us three.", I said and the other two nodded.
"We shall keep an eye on him.", Poseidon said.
"Already on it. My grandchild Pranjal, Percy, and Annabeth are doing it.", I said.
"I didn't know that you were smart.", Athena mocked.
"Not the time Athena. I am serious. I told them to genuinely befriend him so that when the time comes, he can be our ally or even an ambassador. ", I said.
"Great job nephew.", I was interrupted by another goddess. I saw Hestia coming out of the hearth and looking like a thirty-year-old woman.
"I heard everything Apollo and I assure you that the secret is safe within the four of us. You did the right thing. Befriending a threat can mitigate it to an extent.", she said and smiled warmly.
"Thank you, aunt. Now, Athena, can you tell the godly parent of that Demigod?", I asked.
"No. That is Hera's domain. I can't tell.", she replied.
"Do we tell her?", Poseidon asked.
"Maybe not now. What is his name?", Athena asked.
"Hariharan Sivakumar.", I replied as I flashed out of the throne room.
