"so your really being a king.." artemis said as she put her head on her brothers shoulder whilst they were looking through the mirror "yup.." he whispered "I've never seen you dress so- smart. im proud of you." she muttered "just yesterday I was cleaning your diapers.. and- sorry im getting emotional." she said as she put a smile on 

"I don't care who this king is but I want to know apollo still he better not disapear as soon as that crown is placed on his head you understand?" she joked "yes MOM." they both giggled a bit the golden light from outside shone on them casting a warm glow on the soon to be king  "are you nervous?" she asked him "pft. no." he answered "you look away when you lie brother" he glanced back at her through the mirror. she began sweeping any dust that could have been on his shoulders off "its not just the crown its the weight of the crowns responsibility's and I fail?" he asked her looking at her with vulnerable eyes. "you won't. you've aways been the light of the family guiding us through the darkness remember your my brother im your sister you are not alone. we stand together." she confessed he looked into her eyes finding strength in her unwavering support "you've always had the words to calm me dear sister. he replied with a gentle smile she stepped back to admire him her heart swelling with pride "you are ready brother. now go out there. the realm needs you. the realm needs your light. the realm needs your music. the realm needs your vision. it needs you. now go outing embrace this forever moment." 

apollo nodded as artemis walked outside to stand with the other guests

a few minutes later apollo began to walk down towards the front of the gates for his crown. as apollo stood before the gods and goddesses of the land the village shimmered with divine light. the weight of the moment stood heavily on his shoulders. the high priest approached him holding the golden crown before her with a piece of a laurel tree a flash of resemblance appeared on his face from his one true love but instead of sadness he thought of hope that she would be watching. he glanced at artemis who was standing in the crowd who stood proudly along with all of his siblings all except Dionysus. 

"today we honour you apollo god of sun and music" the priest proclaimed their voice resonating through the hall "may you bring light and harmony to our realm" as the crown was placed upon his head a wave of emotion washed over him he felt the weight of his new responsibilitys settle in but also the warmth of support from everyone there the cheers of the gids echoed in his ears but it was artemis who stayed silent adoring him with a unwavering gaze. in the moment he realised it wasn't just his coronation it was his achievement a shared celebration of their bonds and legacy he took a deep breath feeling the warmth of the sun rays consume him "I will strive to be the beacon of hope and creativity for all" he declared his voice steady and clear as the applause rang out apollo felt a surge of purpose that he had never felt before he was ready to embrace his role not just as a ruler but as a protector of the light guided by love ad strength of his sister and their family.  

"that's my brother.." artemis whispered in the crowd
