Apollo's POV
I was incredibly tempted to walk amongst the mortals once more, I wanted to so badly! I was so sick of being on Mount Olympus all the time, it was boring and there was no one interesting to talk to. Sure, I could go hunting with Artemis any day, or sing, compose music, and literature with the Muses, but they knew everything about these subjects.
I wanted someone to teach, someone to learn from me, someone to see in the ways that I do. And the only way that I was going to find that somebody, was to go among the mortals. Yes, I thought that most of them were dim-witted and stingy, but there were a few good ones. There are "Diamonds in the Rough" if I do say so myself.
But, the only way that I was going to do this and to be successful, I would have to sneak out of Mount Olympus and stay on Earth for a little while. And when I say a little while, I mean for a few years. Father won't be pleased, and neither will my sister. So, I will have to hide out on Earth. But it might not be as bad as it could be, I mean I could make myself anyone out there. But it all depends on who I exactly I meet.
But to be honest, I hope I find love. I'm slightly afraid of love, because my past ones... They did not end well. Everyone I tried to court ended up dead, injured, or turned into plants. Which is not good, I've kept away from love for a long time now. But now, I feel ready to go back out into the world and seek it out. But I highly doubt that I will find love, and if I do it will be worthless. Because most of the people that I have fallen in love with in the past, they never return it.
So, I shall set out soon.
