Hephaestus

Chapter 28: Apolo and Artemis



Ever since Hephaestus helped Leto give birth on the island of Limmos, she have been living on it along with her son and daughter, Apolo and Artemis. When Artemis and Apolo was born the sun and moon in the sky shook and the world gave them the priesthood of the and the moon. Making them the god of the sun and The goddess of the moon.

To celebrate their birth, Leto held a small party where she invited all the nymph around the island. Of course Hephaestus was al invited. There Hephaestus gave a present for Apolo and Artemis. He gave a Apolo an innate weapon called the sun-shooting bow that has runes related to the sun and fire in them. While for Artemis, he an innate weapon called the Moon-shadow bow that runes related to the moon and shadow. Hephaestus alsp gave the ownership of the island of Limmos to Leto since he will live in his new island/forge/weapon.

After Hephaestus gave apolo and Artemis the bows, they became very exited. They asked their mother, Leto for permision to travel the world but she declined. They tried contacting Hephaestus who left the island after their birthday to asked him to persude their mother to let them go but they couldn't contact him.

And so they decided to travel the world without their mother permision. So when Leto was sleeping, Apolo ran outside his room and sang a lullaby to make the nymph guarding them fall asleep with their beutifull voice. After doing this, Apolo fetch his sister and together they ran out of the island.

When Leto woke up she found everyone on the island asleep and her children missing. She was so pannicked that she ran to Olympus to ask Zeus to help find her children. Luckilly Zeus agreed but when they found them, Apolo and Artemis was standing on the corpse of Pyton, one of Hera's pet.

Turns out during their travel, Apolo and Artemis found an injured human man who was the last golden age human in the world. Artemis who pitied the man nurse him to health and the two became very close. Unfortunately for Artemis, the man is faking his love to find out about her more and sell her news to Hera who created a bounty for the brother and sister.

[Humans are divided into three. The golden age humans who was created by Gaia and lived during the titan age but unfortunately went extinct during the Titan War. The silver age who was created by Prometheus, Athena, and Epimetheus. The bronze age who were humans that was given birth by Pandora and Epimetheus daughter and Prometheus son after the Burning Earth Catastrope]

As Apolo and Artemis continued to travel with the man, the man led them to a valey where Hera's pet Pyton is ready to ambush them. And so they fought. Apolo and Artemis fought with Pyton and they could've died if it weren't for Hephaestus bows. After they won the fight againts Pyton, the man ready with a dagger tried to kill the already exhausted Artemis but he failed. He was stoped by Leto who with Zeus, finally found them.

After finding the truth of the matter, Artemis decided to never trust a man and swore an oath to be forever alone. Artemis and Apolo also decided to confront Gaua in Olympus.

As Artemis and Apolo steped foot in Olympus they were shocked to see the beautiful architecture created by Hephaestus. They were led to the hall pf Olympus where the twelve god of Olympus was at. In there they confront Hera who send Pyton to hunt them.

Apolo "HERA!! YOU BASTARD!!"

Hera "DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT BOY! I AM THE QUENN OF GODS, THE WIFE OF ZEUS"

Artemis "HEY YOU'RE NOT ZEUS'S ONLY LOVER"

Hera "YOU BASTARD WHORE!!!"

Hera, Apolo, and Artemis continued their confrontation as the other gods watch until...

Zeus "ENOUGH!! I WILL NOT HAVE YOU DO THIS HERE!! HERA GO BACK TO YOUR TEMPLE! AND YOU TWO GO WITH ATHENA TO CHOSE YOUR TEMPLE"

And so the confrontation ended with Zeus's shout and the story continue.
