When day replaced night Apollo sighed and motioned to the now sleeping form of Percy, his Percy and carried her to the cabin she had rented. Apollo could have watched Percy all day, she was so peaceful, as he watched her, and he felt wetness running down his cheek, for a moment he was taken aback by it, but than noted they are tears of joy not those of sorrow. Percy woke to see Apollo watching her and she felt herself smile. "your still here" she said softly and Apollo smiled at her and moved closer to her and said "I have waited eight months looking for you, so the thought of parting with you is not appealing to me". "Mr Awesome is sap" she said with smirk playing on her face. "Would you like to join me for breakfast?" she asked, "of course" he said before telling her must get back to Olympus to shower and change and than he flashed out.
Percy sat on her bed and laughed at how much a single year could change everything in one's life. She quickly got out of bed and went to get a shower and ready for breakfast with the sun god. After a few hours she was ready and waiting for Apollo to return, and if on queue the moment the she was finally ready he flashed in and looked as handsome as before he left just fresher looking. "Shall we leave Milady?" he said with a cheeky smile on his face and outstretched hand, to which Percy took, and they existed the cabin and Percy lead them to Anthony's Pancake and Waffle house for casual breakfast and a place where they could relax and chat bit about what happened to make Percy leave camp half blood and Percy wanted to know why Apollo's used to have so much sadness in them, Apollo was shocked that she noticed even when she was male, she saw him when all others just saw what he wanted them to see, not even is twin sister noticed, that was hard for him to know that his own sister doesn't really know who he truly is, so when she asked he was shocked yes, but happy that he now has someone who wont judge him, so he agreed. "So you want to know what happened to make me leave camp?" she asked though she knew his answer, and he just nodded in response to the question.
Flash back
The whole thing started early on last summer, a few days after I returned to camp. Everything seemed well enough, until I noticed some of the camper starting to give dirty looks as if I was evil, but I didn't take it to heart, than I noticed that Annabeth always tried to come up excuses as to why we couldn't hangout and again I ignored it giving her the benefit of the doubt. One afternoon after training I decided to head to the beach and that's when I saw two people with blond hair making out, I thought maybe it was an Aphrodite girl with one of your sons, as I got closer saw the princess curls that looked a lot like Annabeth's before realisation came to me that the girl was Annabeth Chase my girlfriend and Will Solace. I had to ask what's going on even though it was perfectly obvious. Both she and Will had fearful expressions of what I might do, I could bring myself to shout or even feel angry. I felt betrayed and an overwhelming come over me, but I forgave them and said "Wise girl although I will never trust you as I once have, know that I forgive you, Will take care of her" and left them there. The few days after the incident were not very pleasant, Annabeth and Will started avoiding me, which I didn't mind, I didn't want to talk to either of them, what happened next was where things fell apart for me. Chiron and Mr D knocked on my door one morning telling to get to the big house, so I got dressed and followed them to the big house. When we arrived I saw a couple of angry looking camper all glaring at me like I was some kind of villain.
Well brats we have called all of you here because Percival here has been accused of stealing, though I myself know that he is innocent. "How can you defend him?" shouted one of the Ares campers asked. "What? I didn't steal anything from any of you" I said to which most campers just rolled their eyes like of course he would say that. "I Promise on the river Styx I didn't steal anything" I said and thunder rumbled confirming my proclamation. The newer campers looked sceptical and said "Lies". I just shook my head and left. The days that followed were hard because I kept getting campers throwing stones at me, until one afternoon Mr D and Chiron were playing Pinnacle and out of view when Drew started running telling campers that I assaulted her because she caught me trying to steal her dresses, and I could tell she was using charmspeak to coerce them to believe her.
After a few minutes of her speaking she stopped, but the effects were still clear to see, that and the fact that newer campers already hated me, didn't help, but low point that day was when her charmspeak started invading my mind and nodded in confirmation, which the campers didn't take too kindly and one lunged at me with a dagger but quickly disarmed him let go of the dagger, When Clarisse arrived she told them that Drew was lying and is only seeking attention and told the campers where Drew hid the dresses and than she left taking me with her and I said to her "thank you", "Anytime Prissy" she said and went her own way and I headed back to my cabin and wondered what have I done to deserve all of this? Maybe I should accepted immortality and left them to fend for themselves; I knew I wouldn't have been able to look at myself if I had, now its coming back to bite me I let out with a deep sigh and decided to stay in my cabin for the night. The next morning was uneventful, but than some of the campers tried to attack me, but I defeated them easily, one camper threw a rock that hit that broke my nose and another stabbed me with his knife on my thigh and some other started kicking me and continued no matter how much I begged them to stop until will saw what was happening and took me away but drew used her charmspeak to convince will not to tell Chiron and in turn, he would have told Mr D and than your council, so after will took me to the infirmary and had some nectar and ambrosia, left and went to the beach and went inside and the water healed all my remaining injuries and removed all markings of the incidence and when I was in the water I decided its time for me to leave. After getting out of the water I wrote Chiron a letter telling him I am leaving and camp is no longer a home and also to thank him for everything. When I had packed and placed the note somewhere Chiron would find I headed for the camp borders and a few minutes after I left camp I was met with Lord Chaos and Lady Order who offered me immortality and explained I was supposed to be female and I had no problems with the offer so I accepted and I became a Protogenos.
End of flashback
Percy finished her story with tears flowing freely from her eye and Apollo seeing this went over and engulfed her in hug telling her its alright to cry and she cried for the first since that day and when she was done she felt all the sadness she held melt away and asked to tell her his story, to which he said its not a story. "Most think that being a god of prophecy is gift, but they are wrong its burden and coupled with being the god of knowledge means I never forget any visions I see, and there I times where I have to close off my mind in fear of all the visions coming to me, that's why I created the oracle to alleviate the burden but it wasn't enough, and as result I sometimes became villainous and cruel and womaniser, these where ways I escaped the visions, of the lives ending to young and violently and when the great prophecy was issued I told them prophecies are works of the fates and can not be avoided or delayed, again they ignored me, even Artemis, except Hestia, your father and Hermes, they all listened, it didn't help, because Hestia was invisible, Hemes was known as a bit of a silver tongue and Athena hates your father, so here we are after the great prophecy still with little respect" he said grimly not looking at her face. "look at me Delian" she said and looked at her and she said "Let me share your burden with you, I know I cant see what you see, but I'm for you, I will listen to you, I will cry with you and I will be there should you need me".
Apollo was happy she wanted to be with him even in sorrow and he went over and kissed her and all the visions were erased from his mind and smiled the truest smile he has ever had when they broke from the kiss. They continued to spend the day together, until her told her today is the Solstice, which she decided to come with him not wanting to leave his side and he flashed them outside the throne room before entering, seeing that all of the Olympians were present and the campers who she didn't mind being there and went to her Aunt Hestia and sat with her before the meeting started. "We the Olympian council want to know what happened to make Perseus Jackson leave your camp and you would be wise not to lie to us" boomed Zeus from his throne.
