Chapter 21

<<<< Time Skip >>>>

"So why did you come here?" Apollo asked. We were sitting to a stone table in the island of Delos and having a tea. "Well... I... I did mess everyone's lives. My mom started to hate boys and dad married a dolphin lady and had lots of children with so many women. Hades and Persephone are fighting against each other. Alex chose reborn for me. I feel as a sinner" I covered my face with my hands.

"Who told so? It's not true you messed up our lives... you taught us that we can do anything if we love someone a lot. But we were stupid too... we didn't understand it. We fought each other to reduce the pain of loosing you. I wanted to love others as you did but I became selfish. We all became selfish. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades didn't give anyone to control their kingdoms. Hades always stayed in the underworld. We were blinded with our powers. When you were their we didn't think about our powers as they were just like a dust with your powers. But when you gone..." his sound cracked.

"We missed you so much. Where were you all this time? Why didn't you come before? You..." he started to cry. "Well... I know where is Alex now... now he's a famous singer in Korea. He still has my blessings with him. When you were gone... I concerned on him. He always reminded me you. He still looks same... now his name is Jeon Jungkook. Everyone's know him very well, even a small baby too." Apollo smiled while whipping his tears away.

"Ah... how's he now? Can I see him? I don't remember his face but... I know I'll recognize him" my heart pounded when I heard Apollo said he knows about Alex. "Well... he's doing everything fine. You should quickly go for him as there are so many girls who loves him crazily. I know you'll recognize him. Don't worry..." Apollo pat my shoulder. "...well, he's someone doing music so, I know him well. Also, he's your boyfriend and I do care of him. He's coming America next week for an award ceremony. I know you'll be busy with the upcoming war... so, you don't have to go to Korea to see him"

My heart fluttered. "Thanks for caring of him uncle. I'll repay for caring him." I thanked Apollo from my whole heart. "Nah... you're return is enough for me." He shuffled my hair again. "Ya! Stop it! It's already third time you shuffle my hair!" I showed a fake anger.

"Ya Vany...! Apollo...! You're drinking tea while happy talk. I'm searching for you, Vany! You scared me!" Artemis started with anger but ended tears. I quickly hugged my mom. "I'm sorry ma... I was angry with dad for having more kids with other women" I feel the warmth of my mom.

"If you're angry with him, just ignore it. You had to tell me about it... don't do it again" her tears rolled over my back. I hugged and caressed her warmth. "Ya... you two make me cry!" Apollo started to cry and hugged me and Artemis so tightly. "Un... uncle... I... I can't breathe" I stuttered. "Oh sorry..." Apollo loosened the hug.

"Ok... we'll go back to the camp of half-blood now" Artemis readied to go but I stopped her. "Mom... can't I stay here? I don't want to go back there." I know I was being rude but I don't want to go back as they see me a sinner, a culprit.

"I know it's hard for you... you've slept more than three thousand years. But you'll get along with it. Let's go now. All the Olympians are waiting for you. Your father is so excited and he'll kill someone if you get late" Artemis smiled. I love my mom's smile a lot. It can calm me down. I shook my head.

When I shadow travelled to Camp of Half-blood, mom and Apollo used something like shadow travelling to transport but it was different from shadow travel. We re-emerged in the camp of half-blood. I saw all the Olympians had gathered to somewhere that use for a fire...? maybe. They were looking at me with tearful eyes.

Those familiar faces made my unclear memories clearer and clearer. I smiled to them and they did so. Among those faces, I saw someone who closest to me. It... it was Poseidon!!! All the bad thoughts I had for him washed away like a wave. I felt a warmth as when I near mom.

I ran to him and hugged him tightly. "Oh Vany... I missed you a lot. So many things happened after you were gone. If Hades gave someone else a life, we all will scold him but... we're so glad for his action. He broke his own rules too. Thanks bro..." Poseidon said among his tears. All the Olympians nodded their head to agree. Hades smiled and accepted the appreciate happily.

I felt happy as now all the Olympians are happywith each other. They didn't fight against each other. All of them has forgetabout the upcoming war and has started to celebrate their happiness together.The upcoming war...
