No one expected this to happen. No one expected an Olympian god to fade. No one expected the cheerful Olympian god to fade. No one did. No one, but the god himself.
It all started when his sister started hating him. Hating him because of his personality. He wanted to treat her the way a brother should treat their sister but things did not work that way. She had developed a hatred for men, which did not help his case. The god still wanted to develop a bond with her, despite her attempts to stop him. He tried not to show it, he tried to keep that feeling of grief, pain and misery trapped inside of him, to disguise all of it, and replace it with cheeriness. The other gods seemed to believe him. It was only until years later, before he realised it was a bad idea. When they came. If he had revealed his pain, he would've been treated differently as he was before. But they destroyed all chances of that happening.
They came onto Earth, and plotted against the gods. Planning to tear them down, one by one. Perhaps the Hero of Olympus should've helped, but he was long gone. They slaughtered every single one of his children. And still, the gods paid little attention to him. The only attention given towards him, was pity. And he hated that. Oh, how much he wished his family were closer to him. To avoid that, he disguised himself even more. And once again, the Olympians believed him. Even though some had doubts, they decided Apollo was Apollo, and he was not the one that would feel grief.
That wasn't the end. They came again, and destroyed all his temples, his priests and his lovers. Then, he broke down. Then, little by little, they saw his pain. By then, it was too late. He was on the verge of fading. And so he did, on one night. The last night, where the mortals ever saw the sun. The night, where Apollo faded. The night, where the war began. The war, against them.
