This is a short story based off of one of the love stories involving Apollo, an ancient Greek god. I originally fell in love with Apollo during a mythology class , and I couldn't help but recreate one of his unfortunate love stories in a fantasy world. As I said, this is an attempted recreation of the original tale, so I suggest brushing up on some myths before diving in. The more you know, the more you'll recognize a few easter eggs.

A special thank you to Randall Stewart for providing the information. Sorry folks, this is a tragedy. I apologize ahead of time for the emotions this story will evoke. (I sure know as a writer it was tough to create.) Enjoy!
