In Which Apollo talks about his feelings

"Why her; why anyone else when she exists."

——————————————————

Everyone had come back into the throne room after a few of them had calmed down from the news that they got from the previous viewing.

Apollo sat in his throne, and as he did he made a promise to himself; as long as he lived he would protect Lucrezia di Angelo from harm, including from Erebus himself, and as he looked at Hads he knew that he was not along in that thought.

Hades meanwhile was already planning on talking with Nyx and Thanatos about this when he got back to the underworld. After all Lucrezia looked to be about nine or ten when she first had the dreams which meant that it wouldn't be long before Erebus started giving the dreams to her.

Hades will not delude himself; Erebus definitely only gave her the dreams in the beginning to test her worth as a princess of the underworld as he did to all of his demigod children, but as she grew older he probably did it because he wanted her, so all he had to do was make sure that Erebus knew she was off limits both from dreams and as a paramour.

The Screen turns on and it shows a beautiful living room, a couch, with soft fuzzy bronze and gold blankets draped over the back it is sat facing a massive TV hanging above a tiled fireplace; on either side of the fireplace were two bookshelves that had movies and Video games instead of Books; the walls of the living room are painted a soft cream, with one wall being lined completely with wood bookshelves and filled with classic hardback books; their are french doors on one wall leading out into what looks like a garden; the artwork in the room is colorful and tasteful; yet what draws the most attention is the ceiling which has been painted to look like the sky during the day the sun that was painted seems to glow, it is a living room fit for a Prince.

Artemis looked at the living room, it had been awhile since she had been in her brothers palace and it looked completely different to what she was used too it looking.

The Apollo kids were interested to see a part of their father's home on Olympus. They didn't ever get to see it during the solstice's as they really were only in the throne room or in the city.

Apollo himself was a little confused as some thing's were different than how they were now. He didn't remember seeing those blankets and he knew that he most definitely didn't remember that painting on his ceiling.

As they saw the living room shown on the screen to them; Reyna and Jason remembered the good times, playing video games, that time they built a pillow fort, the movie night where they found out Hermes cried watching titanic, the game night where they found out Apollo was downright vicious at uno and Crezia would rob you blind at monopoly, the time when Crezia broke the news that she was going to move to Italy. They had good memories and to see it brought tears to their eyes.

"Don't worry, no other person is ever going
to ask Lucrezia out." Hermes points out. He seems to be having fun if the smile he is looking at Apollo with is any indication.

"Why not?" Apollo questions. He in contrast to his brother seems to be having an awful time as he paces the room.

"Wow I don't think I've ever seen you lose your cool like this sunspot." Ares taunted Apollo. Although he was being completely truthful. It was most definitely weird that Apollo was like this in the future and that he seemed to care so much about this mortal child of their uncle's, Ares mused.

Apollo went to blast Ares with light, before he took a deep breath to calm down and put his hand down.

"Well...now you have." Apollo told him calmly, with a forced smile before he turned back to the screen.
