1944 mood, as i see it: a father endlessly relieved to see his eldest son, mixed in with a not-so-subtle power struggle for the future of the world.
to a love that knows no bounds.
Through the eye of the beholder
Apollo was back on Olympus and in his temple, immortal and godly of course. He was remembering everything his so-called family giving him half-apologies and excuses when he became a God once again. He remembered that after Dionysus, he was the one most punished by his father. Not even his twin sister; Artemis, or the kind Hestia spoke up to Zeus when he cast Apollo down to the mortal world.
I remember every word you told me
Apollo really did remember everything his family said to him, from his birth to the present time, he would always remember.
From the moment I saw you, I knew you were mine
Apollo remembered the first time he went was on Olympus. He remembered looking at his father, his uncle, his aunts, his stepmother, his half-brothers, his half-sisters.
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Then, he remembered all those punishments Zeus gave him. Or when Artemis kept on insulting, screaming, and yelling at him.
Do you know what Mother said
When I first became an Olympian?
She said
"Be careful with those, love
They will do what it takes to survive"
Apollo remembered the day he got turned into a mortal again. No one spoke up for him. Not a single one.
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
He really, actually thought that his family loved him. But it was all a big lie. They didn’t love him.
I'm re-remembering the things you told me
I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line
For some kind of sign, and when you were mine
Apollo thought of all the moments he had with his family. All 4,000 plus years. He needed to remember if they really loved him or if they were all lying to him.
The world seemed to burn
Burn
I published the book about everything you told me
Apollo wrote a book called “I Was There For Them In Their Darkest Times, I Was There For Them In Their Darkest Times, But I Wonder Where They Were When I Was At My Lowest On My Knees.” It was about his adventures, but using different names for the other Gods: Zeus as John, Hera as Anastasia, Poseidon as Joe, Demeter as Anna, Ares as Marcus, Athena as Phoebe, himself as Fred, Artemis as Zoe, Hephaestus as Charles, Aphrodite as Callista, Hermes as Luke, Dionysus as Timothy, Hades as George, Iris as Luna, Hypnos as James, Nemesis as Natalie, Nike as Victoria, Hebe as Maya, Tyche as Elizabeth, Hecate as Ginevra, and Hestia as Celestia. These are the names they use when they go to the mortal world. As for the demigods, he used their middle names: Jason as Alexander, Percy as August, Annabeth as Susan, Will as Andrew, etc.
I told the whole world how you punished me for one single mistake
After the battle against Gaea, Zeus punished him for not only encouraging Octavian to follow his dangerous path but also for revealing the prophecy much too soon.
In clearing your name, you have ruined my life
Apollo remembered Jason and those whose blood was on his hands. He remembered all those nightmares he had about his children dying in the most painful way, Jason blaming him for his death, his family lying straight to his face about loving him.
Do you know what Mother said
When she found out what you'd done?
She said
"Our family’s an Icarus
They have flown too close to the sun"
Leto tried to multiple times persuade Zeus into bringing Apollo back to Olympus, but to no avail.
You and your words, obsessed with your reputation
That’s all the Gods and Goddesses do; maintaining their reputation.
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you
By now, Apollo grabbed the painting he made of his family after the Second Titan War as a way to cope with the loss of his children.
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Apollo reacted when you broke his heart
You have torn it all apart, I'm watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
Apollo broke the painting into pieces and threw it in the fire he made.
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in Olympus
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
He threw the scrapbook, photo album, paintings, poems, drawings, everything he made and got from his “family”
Burning the things that might have redeemed all of you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
Apollo split his beloved Golden Bow made by Hephaestus and threw it in the fire. He grabbed his sacred quiver of arrows, split them in half, and threw them into the fire.
You forfeit the place in my temples
You sleep in your temples instead
With only the memories of when you were mine
The last thing that reminded Apollo of the other 19 of the Olympian Council was his necklace with their symbols.
I hope that you burn
He threw it in the fire and flashed away to see his mother. Apollo was unaware that the Olympian Council along with everyone in Camp Half-Blood. Camp Jupiter, and the Hunters. Almost everyone was crying, but none more than Hermes, Artemis, and Hestia; all of which were closest to Apollo. They can only hope that the sun god wouldn’t hold a grudge and forgive them in time.
For all Capricorn’s!!!!!
