Apollo POV
I walked through the forests of District 12.
After a giant world war, World War 3, to be exact, the gods could only repair the world enough to make one independent nation without starting the world again like the Stone Age. We named this nation Panem. We never intended the country to become corrupt, but alas, we can't control human nature. We, the gods, had retreated into a dark age. We locked ourselves on Olympus to avoid making things worse. We had no demigod children, yes, even Zeus didn't have any, we had no contact with mortals and their affairs, and Artemis suspended her Hunt and had them live with her on Olympus. Every once in a while, we disguised ourselves and went through a human lifetime to see how things were going.
I was taking a short little trip from Olympus to get some fresh air and I decided to visit the forests of District 12. I walked around enjoying nature and admiring the works of my sister Artemis, the goddess of the wild.
Suddenly, I stumbled upon a beautiful girl. Hmmm…I read through her memories and realized her name is Katniss, Katniss Everdeen. I walked up to her and started complimenting her. Hey, just because we can't have demigod children doesn't mean that I can't have a mortal girlfriend. Just as long as I wipe her memory afterward. She turned around looked slightly shocked and ignored me. I got frustrated. Usually, any girl would fall for my charm after I compliment them. I caressed her hair and tried to kiss her hand. She pulled away and screamed a random name. I think it was pita, like pita bread. Why would she scream pita?
A blonde haired, blue eyed boy walked out from the trees holding a piece of…..bread? He started to talk to Katniss and comfort her. I told him to let go of her and to leave us alone. He suddenly got a look of understanding on his face and started throwing bread at me. Like, what? Bread?! He dares throw bread at me, Phoebus Apollo, god of the sun, healing, truth, music, and prophecy!
I was in such a shock that I started running away. The thing that I hate the most about these mortal disguises Zeus made- I mean Zeus of all people, it should have been Aphrodite- is that I have no godly powers but I still have my godly charm.
I stepped onto something and I was hanging upside down in a tree. I'm in a hunter's snare! I recognize it because of my sister Artemis.
A new boy, supposedly named Gale Hawthorne, walked out from behind a bush. He is a well known hunter from District 12. Peeta caught up with me and started a conversation with Gale. They came to an agreement and Peeta started throwing bread at me while Gale was throwing animal guts at me while Katniss, who was in the background, started laughing.
A few minutes later, Artemis appeared. She must have been invisible, for Katniss, Peeta, and Gale did not see her. She took one look at me and started cracking up. She said, "I told you that flirting with unknown girls was a bad idea." She stayed there cracking up for another 10 minutes before she left.
An hour later, the boys untied me and when they left, I flashed to Olympus. I was covered in bread crumbs and animal guts and immediately found Artemis. I told her, "I learned my lesson, got what I deserved and I am never flirting with an unknown girl again!"
