episode 14

"hey apollo wanna go on a mission with me?" artemis asked "yeah sure what is it?" 

"some dragon is making a disturbance in Delphi apparently its a two man job." she rolled her eyes "its always men men are so annoying.." she spoke "hey im a man!" he replied "that doesn't count you don't act like a man" they stepped through a portal to a small village that was apparently called Delphi the place was corrupted and there were blazing fire and screaming mortals "you know why don't you deal with the monster this time? gives you some experience in hunting. ill get people out buildings helping them get to safety." artemis explained "oh also take these." she pulled off her bow and arrow quiver passing it to him "these are special bows crafted by hephateus. and I've taught you how to use a bow. be safe out there" she said before leaving to run into a building 

"dude that things giant.. im not gonna be able to defeat this.." he whispered to himself before a blast of fire started charging towards him. apollo ducked behind a large rock his face heating up "okay what was that thing that mama told us from storybooks.. the dragons one weakness is its throat.. I need to get up there." 

"p-please! someone! im trapped!!" there was a girl around 11 years of age underneath a pile of rubble from what looked like a collapsed building her face cut and scratched her arm bleeding "god are you okay kid..?!" artemis shouted as she rushed towards her dining through the rubble to help her out "my- my arm hurts really badly-" artemis lifted up the rock that was directly pushing down on the girls stomach "quick- out I can't hold it for long.." she whispered. the girl crawled out gripping her arm a man walked over. tall, grey beard and someone who just looked like a regular elderly man  "hey kid your going to be alright just give me your arm.." 

"asclepius..?" artemis asked and the man just put a finger to his mouth telling her to shush the man grasped the girls arm as a green glow began to shimmer from the girls arm and the mans hand he let go and now there was no cut on her arm "I won't heal your scratches and cuts on your face because they aren't serious but that arm could have got affected. nice to see you again artemis." the man said before backing away into a corner of shadows "hey kid get to safety alright..?"Apollo rushed into a nearby museum that people were running out of for safety and plus the dragon couldn't fit inside there. he started running towards the historical artefacts such as swords and armor. "sword. sword. sword where's there a- sword." his eyes met a long dagger that shined in a glass case he grabbed a arrow from his quiver and stabbed it into the glass and it all shattered onto the floor. he grasped the dagger in his hands feeling the strength of himself and the damage that he could easily do to this dragon "apollo lyceius. im calling upon you. dont fail me now." he felt a surge of power shoot through his body as he started walking back outside he was instantly targeted with a blast of flame so he hid behind a pillar outside the museum but the heat from the flames burnt his shoulder his shoulder turning red

he quickly pulled his arrow into the bow and shot right into the dragons eye before collapsing to                             the floor trying to find its way up after now being blinded. 

the dragons foot was pierced through by the very dagger that apollo was holding he looked...merciless.. the dragon howled with pain putting his neck down. then the head had completely sliced off a simple dagger wouldn't be able to do that unless it was held by the right owner. the strength of apollo completely disappeared all that anger that he had building up his eyes that were just golden went back to a pale grey "well. that's that then.." people started swarming towards him thanking him 

(later)

"apollo- I mean sir there's a lady who would like to sp-" a guard was cut off by a woman in a red hijab and red robes gliding across the marble floor entered "that's alright ill take it from here."

"hello apollo. i am the Pythia. the Delphic priestess. I would like to speak with you about the unfortunate occurrence today." she spoke "oh- hello ma'am what can I do for you?" he asked "tomorrow you shall have the opportunity to be crowned king of Delphi for your generous acts of saving me and my people" she announced "you would really do that? for a small thing..?" he asked "of course. would you like to be our king. our saviour?"
