ON WITH THE STORY… well just a prologue… and just to tell you it's not a one shot.
Apollo's seven prologue
The firsts 3 daughters and the first 4 sons of Apollo were something special. One would guess that they were just ordinary Demi-gods, despite the fact that they are the first, or one of the first children of a god. But of cause not everyone is right. These demigods had the true power of what an Apollo's heir should have. The power of Light, Mind, and true Music. Now you must be thinking, Apollo children now days seem not to have this power, and I can tell you now that Zeus is to blame for that.
Once he learnt of the first 7 children of Apollo and the stories that came to his attention about them, he was worried that they could lead to the destruction of Olympus. With not wanting to consult his fellow Olympians about this, he went in search of them to destroy them. Apollo saw that this had angered Zeus and granted immortality to his 7 children, not wanting them to face the wrath of Zeus. Zeus, learning that he could not destroy them, Zeus went about finding them and one by one imprisoned them in the tribute version of the sky on the ceiling of the Olympian throne room.
Well all except one. Apollo, dispirit to hide his last child from Zeus, asked his sister Artemis, to hide her in her hunt of eternal maidens. After not being able to find the last child Zeus closed the matter, figuring the last child was dead, but to stop more from being born with that extreme power, he made Hecate cast a spell on him so his children will not receive those powers.
The last child, a young maiden named Willow, was set on freeing her siblings, no matter what, she would free them. But as the years past Zeus forgot about them, and Willow became less sure she would find them. When one day about 900 years later, Artemis brought her hunters along to Olympus. While she was discussing godly duties, the girls were allowed to wonder around Olympus.
Willow, being the daring person she was and went to explore the throne room. Being extremely careful she entered the throne room and looked around. As she looked around, a strange sensation went through her, like someone was calling her. Then out of the blue, she heard a voice:
Willow, free us with the song of pure
With your voice so melodic and sure
With the song we will go free
And together again will be
It was like many people were talking to her all at once. Willow was confused at first until she put the entire piece together. It was her siblings calling out to her. They must be here, Willow thought. And I must free them… with a song… Willow sat herself down and thought of a song of pure, when it struck her. The lullaby her mother used to sing to her. Willow was sure it was the song, so, making sure no one was coming, and she started singing;
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
–and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Another 2 voices her… both girls had joined in with Willow for last line.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
a cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away
Wow. It sounded perfect, with all the perfect harmonies, and the addition of male voices...
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
– and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Here is the place where I love you.
The voiced all had cut off on the perfect place. You could tell Willow was sad it ended, because it was the most beautiful thing she, or anybody have ever heard, but what she didn't notice was the 6 other people standing around her with smiles on their faces. Willow opened her eyes, and looked at her siblings
"Willow, you have freed us, but we have to leave before anyone comes, but know this, we all love you, and we will find each other soon" one of the boys said. He had mouse blonde hair, and mousy features, but he was tall and elegant. Most of them were that way, tall and elegant, with all blonde hair, but of different shades, and the brightest of blue eyes. Willow nodded and hugged each of them before they flashed away in a flash of light. Willow sighed and trudged back out to her fellow huntress.
That was the last day anyone spoke, or heard of the 7, no one knows where they went, we only know were willow is of course, but the others, blended in with the mortals. They were forgotten by everyone but themselves, their father, and aunt. They disappeared to nearly all whom knew them from the beginning. They were unknown, until that fate full day when Willow looked back up at the ceiling of the throne room in Olympus to see her siblings once again smiling down at her.
