3 Lucy thought she had died. A bright white light shown in her eyes. Lucy's eyes took a few moments to adjust before things came back into focus. When the world came into focus, Lucy found that she was at Olympus. She'd been here numerous times with Luke, leading field trips. Most of the time, on these field trips, the demigods they brought to Olympus were excited to meet or see their parents; but the gods only had a few hours at most to speak to their children. Lucy looked at her surroundings, trying to determine where she was. Lucy gathered that she was in Apollos domain. Everything was bright, warm and welcoming. The floor was polished white marble, the walls had swirling sunbeams on them. White pillars held up the room, with deep gold drapes flowing in between them.
Lucy looked down at her body. There were only minor cuts and bruises from the battle with Luke. He hadn't killed her, he'd saved her. Lucy's heart fluttered. Lucy stood up, brushed the dirt off her body and looked around. As she scanned the room she was in she couldn't help but feel that she was intruding. As Lucy took in the room, some one cleared their throat behind her. Lucy whipped around, her battle reflexes beginning to rise slightly. Lucy dropped her guard when she saw the God of the Sun standing in front of her. Lucy became very nervous. She had no clue how she had gotten to Olympus, and she had no idea why she was in Apollo's domain.
"Apollo!" She said startled. "I ... I can explain why I'm here." Lucy managed to speak in a clear tone.
Apollo, with his blinding white smile and dazzling blue eyes, looked down at Lucy and chuckled.
"Lucy, please. You don't have to explain. You're dreaming." Apollo laughed.
Confusion passed over Lucy's face.
"I'm dreaming?" Lucy questioned as they walked out of the room Lucy has awoken in.
"Most definitely. Do you remember anything before you awoke here?" Apollo asked as they began to leave Apollos domain.
The Sun God and Lucy began to walk throughout Olympus. They passed Athena's battle ring, Hermes post office, and Hera's family home. Lucy was trying her hardest to remember what had happened before she collapsed and awoke at Mount Olympus.
"I think I was battling Luke, Hermes son, and..." She had to stop to think.
"We... We ended up in the lake and I had these flashbacks but they weren't mine. They were someone else's. Like one of the gods memories, they looked to old to be from this century. They looked like before Greece was established. When Titans roamed the earth." Lucy told Apollo as they stood at the center of Olympus. Apollo studied Lucy for a long time.
" I will tell Zeus about these flashbacks, and if they persist please tell me. Also please keep this meeting between us." Apollo said as he placed a hand on Lucy's shoulder. Lucy nodded towards him. As Lucy stood in Apollos presence, SunShard began to glow. Apollo noticed the glow, as well as Lucy. He gently picked up Lucy's wrist and stroked the band.
" Hello SunShard! Treating our little laurel well?" He asked the leather cuff. It glowed a bit brighter, as if to say yes.
" Keep her safe." Apollo instructed. SunShard glowed brighter once more before Apollo gently let go of Lucy's wrist.
"How are you doing at Camp?" Apollo asked.
"I feel... out of place at camp." Lucy said truthfully. There was no point in lying to a God.
"Whys that?" Apollo asked.
Lucy gave Apollo an annoyed glance before speaking.
"My mother hasn't claimed me. I'm almost sure it's Aphrodite. Everyone tells me how I look like the Aphrodite children, and how my looks could kill, but she hasn't claimed me." Lucy said sadly. A few tears filled her eyes but they quickly disappeared. Lucy was strong and she wouldn't let being unclaimed get her down.
"You'll be claimed. I promise." Apollo said as he hugged her. Lucy felt like her dad was hugging her. She felt as if Apollo was her safe haven.
"We don't have much time. Please take care, and good luck with Luke. Goodnight Lucy." Apollo said as Lucy's dream began to fade.
"Remember, Dont go on the quest." Apollos voice faintly echoed as Lucy woke up.
