Apollo
Well it was a solstice that no one would be forgetting for a while. It wasn't everyday someone had the balls to steal his father's lightning bolt.
At first he had thought it was a harmless prank and had looked to Hermes expecting his signature cheeky grin that always meant trouble. But Hermes had looked like his whole world was ending and it didn't take long for all of them to realise how serious the situation was.
So now he found himself watching progress of a twelve year old boy and his friends. Apollo knew this was about more than a lightning bolt. His cousin's arrival meant bad news for the Olympians and he didn't know how to deal with the situation. Maybe it would be better to just kill the boy.
Then again, he didn't want a repeat of the Orion incident. Any attempt on this kid's life and he was pretty sure that this time, Poseidon would find a way to kill him- immortality be damned...
The boy had courage though, he'd give him that. Besides killing him would truly achieve nothing, only postpone the coming apocalypse. If there was one thing he knew, it was prophecy's, and from what he'd seen, this kid knew how hold to hold his own against the gods. Apollo had to admire that.
He mailed us Medusa's head
Hermes passed out opening the box
I was laughing so hard.
Only question left was, if Percy Jackson wasn't the lightning thief, then who the hell took the damn bolt?!
A/N: Okay so I'm doing the gods in alphabetical order for now. This was tricky to write as we don't meet Apollo until 'The Titan's Curse' but I tried to keep in, relatively in character. I think he knows how to be serious when the situation calls for it.
As for the bit about Hermes, well that will either be in his drabble or maybe in a separate one-shot. It's just how imagined him realising what was in the package he was delivering :D
Specialk out!
