Weeks had passed since the deaths of the two great heroes, and the whole of Olympus was in mourning. The duo was especially favored by the gods, for whatever reason, (Maybe their innocence, and the fact that they were still practically children?) so all of the gods and goddesses were devastated, and not only the Olympians. Their parents were grieving even more. Of course, they were given “I’m Sorry For Your Loss” offerings from Apollo of Poseidon’s necklace that lets you breathe under water for Alexandra, and for Jeremy’s mother, Artemis’s ring that lets you turn into any animal of your choice (in addition to that, she saw Zeus, her ex husband, for the first time since Jeremy’s birth), but that didn’t even hide their grief for a minute or two. Meanwhile, Apollo was grieving just as much, if not more, for he had lost two of his dearest friends, including his beloved half- brother.
“Artemis,” Apollo told his sister, referring to the time when Apollo got jealous because Artemis was spending all of her time with a demi- god son of Poseidon, god of the seas, named Orion, so he challenged him to swim as far as he could out into the ocean, which he could because of Orion’s father. Then he had challenged Artemis to hit a black speck far out into the ocean, which was Orion, for Artemis was the goddess of the hunt, and when she did, she shot Orion. Apollo felt bad for tricking her, so he helped Artemis place Orion’s dead body into the sky as a constellation, “Now I know how you felt when I tricked you into killing Orion. I’m sorry.”
