Introduction

Lucia Stephen's sat at one of the ornate tables at her favourite coffee shop. Her shocking red hair was cut short, with flaring ends, while her clothes where a sort of casual/ business. She was approached by a handsome young man while sipping her coffee. This man seemed different from other people. He seemed to have a glow to him. He had short, curly brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and a smooth face. He was wearing a tight white shirt, with jeans.

"Are you Dr Stephen's?" he asked in a smooth tone. She was surprised. Lucia wasn't often disturbed while at her favourite coffee shop in the city. She thought of it as her sanctuary, a place where no one would find her.

"I am. And you are?" she replied, showing no surprise in her voice.

He sat down, in a chair by the table, in one fluid motion. "My name is Apollo and I am in need of your expertise."

"If you want to make an appointment then you should do so through my office." Lucia smoothed her red hair with one hand absentmindedly. She found it hard to keep her voice calm in front of such a handsome looking man. Apollo chuckled and looked straight into her eyes. She felt like she was being pulled in by his gaze.

"To tell you the truth, it is not only me who needs a psychiatrist, but my whole family. We have, you could say, serious problems." He looked over Lucia's shoulder, apparently looking at nothing. He seemed like he was trying to think his way out of a hard problem. "I can not talk here but my family is willing to pay good money for your services."

Lucia sighed impatiently.

"I would be more than happy to help you and your family, but as I have said, if you want and appointment then you will have to go through my secretary first. This is my rule and I make no exceptions. Now if you don't mind, I have places to go." She moved from her seat and went to put her coffee cup in the bin, but she didn't get very far. Apollo grabbed her arm and muttered a few words. Before Lucia could shout, she saw the world dissolve around her. I must be dreaming, she thought before the world went black.

When Lucia came to the world was still black, but she could feel Apollo standing by her. She felt for his face and gave it one hard slap. Lucia heard him gasp in shock and put his hand to his face.

"What was that for!?" he cried in dismay.

"That" she replied, "was for transporting me to an unknown place with little light." Lucia heard Apollo chuckle.

"Well the light thing is just dad being dramatic. He does things like that in his old age. Just a sec." He patted Lucia's shoulder reassuringly and cupped his hand to his mouth.

"DAD!" he shouted "Can you please turn on the lights and let us in. Its me, Apollo, and I have a guest as well."

A column of light appeared from up above, stunning Lucia momentarily. She then felt herself being lifted up, yet she could not see anything due to the light. When her sight had been restored, she squeaked in fright. An old man with a white beard, wearing what appeared to be a toga, was staring straight into her eyes. She adverted her gaze and looked around her. The room was furnished and built in a ancient Greek way, except with modern advancements. She saw a laptop computer, a ball of light that looked like a T.V, a modern lounge and a desk for studying at. It looked like a living room of an old eccentric historian who had his teenage son living with him.

"So this is the new shrink." the old man said.

"Yes Dad." Apollo said in a impatient way. Turning to Lucia, Apollo offered a drink, to which Lucia only stared. Sighing he sat down on the lounge. "Lucia, this is my dad, Zeus. Dad, this is Dr Stephen's, our new shrink."

"I am?" Lucia asked.

Stunned Zeus turned to Apollo.

"You mean you haven't told her yet?" he whispered. Apollo shook his head.

"There wasn't enough time."

"Why wasn't there enough time, your a god after all. You have all of eternity!" Zeus yelled. Lucia jumped away from both of the men. Many thoughts were racing through her mind. Who was this strange man, was he a god and why did he need her help? Apollo looked exasperated.

"Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag Dad. Well I guess it had to come out anyway. Dr Stephen's, as you know I am Apollo, but what you don't know is that I am the actual Greek god. So you can guess that my father here is the actual Zeus. My family is in desperate need of psychiatric help and you are the best that Earth has to offer. So you will know live here and treat my family. You don't need to worry about Earth. Time on Earth goes slower than it does here. So what do you say, will you help my family? Of course you don't really have a choice but its polite to ask."

Lucia gulped.

"Can I have that drink?" she asked meekly.
