A/N: Hey. Well, I'm back, because I keep on thinking of things that I NEED to write down for this story… This chapter is one of my favorites. Not necessarily writing wise, but idea wise. Hope you guys enjoy! Please review!

Apollo combed through the sleeping mortal world, looking for one particular hunter. Various dreams flickered before his eyes like a never-ending slideshow, some were even prayers to Apollo, and he ignored them for his quest.

The simple name 'Orion' wasn't much to go by, yet Apollo was confident he'd find the monster's dream. If he had to look through every mortal's mind, he'd find him…

Apollo had to admit that he was surprised when he first saw his sister's lover, albeit in a dream. He had expected the man to look disheveled, and no where near worthy of a goddess, but instead he was quite well groomed, with a noble air about him. Apollo could only guess that the man had some idea of what was about to happen, as his face turned white as a slate. Hastily, he got to his knees. Apollo barely restrained his snort. The mortal thought a little kneel would earn him brownie points?

"L-lord Apollo," Orion stuttered. "Wha-what brings me this honor?"

"Don't act so innocent, mortal. You know perfectly well why I've come." The god directed an imposing glare at Orion, who timidly rose. "You've tainted my sister."

"I assure you that I had no intention to do so. She told me she was a mortal maiden at first, and even then I had no ill intentions! But we have a… gravity towards each other. We can't help it, really. I love her-"

"You do not!" Apollo gritted his teeth furiously, fighting against his rage. "You simply want bragging rights over your fellow hunters! Just because my sister has not turned you into a stag, doesn't mean I will hesitate to!" Orion shrank back.

"I'm sorry! She… She is the most noble maiden I've ever met-"

"Because she's a goddess, fool!"

"-And never have I felt so whole in my life. No one has yet accepted me like she has. Not even my mother! Truly, I do not want her to give up her position for me, as she deserves to be a goddess; she deserves more than being a goddess-"

"And you will not give that to her," Apollo pointed out solemnly. "I hereby command you to stop seeing her. You say that she loves you in return, and maybe she does. But time will show her that this has all been but a folly. If you so much as speak to her about this conversation, or speak to her ever, the consequences will be grave. Remember that, mortal." Orion opened his mouth to protest, or maybe even to agree, but Apollo flashed away before he could say anything. The god's job was done. His sister was safe, at least for a while. Well, she would be if Orion had any sense at all…
