As Marik drove down the road, he decided maybe he acted to harshly. After all, the girl didn't cause the destruction, She was hurt by it, too. He wanted to turn around, but he was running low on gas. He pulled into the nearest gas station and refilled. He saw his old friend, Percy, and followed him into the store. As he walked up to Percy, he suddenly became nervous. 'What if Percy is mad at me still.', Marik thought. So he left.
As Marik pulled away on his chopper, he willed himself to dissolve in a red mist and travel to olympus. He pulled up after he re-formed and walked up to Artemis. He bowed and asked for forgiveness. Artemis accepted his apology, but under one condition. "You must come with me Marik, to apologize to Reyna yourself. Do that and i will accept your apology". Marik nodded and hopped back on his chopper. "Lady Artemis, if you don't mind, I would like you to accompany me on my bike. I would like to show you something before we arrive. "Okay Marik", she said."I'll accompany you". Artemis then shrunk down to human size and climbed on the back of Marik's bike. As she settled and wrapped her arms around his waist, she blushed, and then cursed herself for thinking he was cute. She thought to herself that she was horrible for liking the way he smelled, the way his abs were tightened under her hands. 'No, stop!', She told herself, but she couldn't rid her mind of these thoughts, And as they were pulling away, she buried her face in the crook between his shoulder and his neck, causing him to blush, and tuned out the world until they reached their destination, The infamous WayStation...
As they near Indianapolis, Apollo drops down and hails us. Marik pulls over and Apollo issues another prophecy.
" BY RAGE AND FIRE THE WORLD WILL FALL
THE ONE WHO WALKS
WILL FINALLY STAND TALL
THE LONER AND THE MAIDEN
REVEL IN THEIR PAST
AND IN THE END
THEIR LOVE WILL LAST
THE LOVE WILL RISE
THE DOOMSDAY WILL END
THE MAIDEN WILL ATEMPT TO FALL
ONLY SO THE LONER WILL RISE AGAIN
THEN THE LONER WONT BE ALONE ANYMORE"
Then Apollo fell and disolved. Marik rose off the bike and glared at the spot where Apollo was standing. Artemis looked at him, her eyes watering. "This is why I should have killed Apollo when I had the chance", said Marik. Artemis stood, tears walked over to Marik and hugged him. He reluctantly hugged her back. She cried and said she was sorry. Marik being the teddy bear he was, suggested she drive if she wanted to, he thought it would make her feel better, and he didnt know why, but he was sure it would. After she climbed on, he wrapped his arms around her waist, causing him and her to blush, and then they drove...
