Happy 29th Birthday to Me and Happy 55th Birthday to my Dad!
This is the biggest mass update I have done
Chapter .1.
It had been 400 years since Artemis's memory had been changed and Apollo was suffering more and more as time went on and people were starting to notice.
But first there had been changes besides Artemis's and Apollo's situation. A prophecy was given stating a new great war and betrayals came from not only Rachel's mouth but Apollo's himself! The prophecy was grim and actually mentioned 'a broken bond between two souls that are one will start to fracture family ties'. 'and one will suffer and a mind with turn against them'
No one really knew what that meant. But Apollo felt and saw it was his bond with Artemis that was mentioned. And the mind line meant it was likely he was going to lost his sanity because Artemis was no longer supported their bonds and powers. It was only him to put up with all those disturbing visions.
He barely paid attention at Council meetings with the new Olympian Council adding Hestia, Hades, Amphitrite, Persephone, Karmanor, Hecate, Thanatos, Bellona, Nemesis, Janus, Triton, Styx, Macaria, and Asclepius on it.
And because of the new Great Prophecy there was a low Council made up of immortal demigods. Lead by of course Percy Jackson, Annabeth, Nico, Will, Kayla, Austin, Conner and Travis, Thalia, Clarisse, Frank, Hazel, Reyna, Hylla, Katie, Meg, Miranda, Leo, Calypso, Piper, Dakota, Gwen, Leila, Michael Kahale, Pollux, Lou and a few others.
But Apollo really didn't pay them much mind.
Even through Meg and his children began to get more and more concerned about him as time went on.
Everything was just pulling him farer away from reality.
His so-called Father had forbidden anyone from trying to restore Artemis's memory or tell her the truth. Even her Hunters had been sworn to secrecy.
But he was fading.
He couldn't sleep from the nightmares that plagued him. And he woke up screaming. And people had heard that and had tried to get him to talk but he refused. As it was how could they possible begin to understand?
He didn't have an appetite and what he did eat he throw up. Hestia tried to get him to eat but how could she understand the things he saw made him sick. And so did the pain of feeling half himself being gone.
Being in the moonlight hurt to be reminded of his other half.
Being around so many people starting making the visions come faster and clearer. But Zeus had ordered him to stay at camp. So he couldn't distance himself from anyone.
His healing abilities started going out of whack. Which some bad noticed.
He couldn't shoot a bow and arrow. First he couldn't hit a target then he was so weak he couldn't pull his bow. So he gave up all together.
His depression and melancholy got worse and worse without Artemis there to kick him back into line or even spend time together. That normally helped his depression. Just spending time with his Big Sister. But also the banter they had always helped. Now there was nothing.
He had lost a lot of weight but the Mist took care of that so nobody questioned him. Nobody knew he was cutting himself again to deal with the pain of the broken bond and the visions and the truths that he saw.
And only one person could stop it and that was Artemis. But without her memory. Artemis was cold towards him and hated him. She didn't have clue what he was too her. And the pain of Artemis acting the way she was to him was killing him more then the backlash of the broken bond was.
He soon didn't really talk to anyone.
Only a few decided to try and help the Sun God who had become a shadow of his former self.
Apollo didn't know that Hestia, Athena, Hermes, Poseidon and even Aphrodite were trying to support him but they had no clue how to do so. And it didn't seem he knew they were with him as much as they could between their duties.
Meg tried to pull Apollo out of his funk and to any activity the Camp or his children were hosting. But nothing worked.
But even the Hunters saw that Apollo was suffering when they saw their Mistress act so nastily towards him. They actually felt sorry for him. For a male. One that actually had always annoyed them was now making them what to try and break Zeus's order and get Artemis's memory back.
Those that tried to help noticed he played with an amulet around his neck and two rings on a chain around his neck and a matching set on his fingers.
It seemed to be a comforting habit to Apollo. That was what Athena said to the ones that were concerned about him.
Many of the Gods (But Zeus, Hera, Ares, Enyo and Nike to name a few) cared about the Sun God and hated to see him suffering. As they hated to see how much he tried to hide it but failed.
But they didn't know how to help.
Except get Artemis's memory back.
But that was impossible on so many levels.
But was it?
Artemis didn't know what was going on. People just acted so weird around her and seemed to be fawning over the Sun God.
Why would they? He was just another man whore.
But something in her heart was stirring and she couldn't pinpoint what it was when she thought she heard the male scream at night.
And when she tried to ask her Father about it he said everything was fine. Just Apollo being dramatic about his missing sister.
But why did something tell her she needed to start caring and looking into this?
It was not like the Sun God really interacted with her. As he was being punished at Camp Olympus (As it was now called), as a trainer.
But now with war her Hunters were stationed at Camp Olympus.
And the more she saw the more she didn't like.
It was like EVERYONE was keeping a secret from her.
And when she questioned people they seemed to be unable to tell her the truth. Or they didn't want too. Her beloved Father didn't seem to think there was a problem.
But was that the truth?
She didn't know but she was now going to try and find out. Not try but will find answers to her questions and their strange behaviour.
Even her Hunters wouldn't be exempt from her scrutinizing.
Just you wait and see…
