The body of Jason Grace falling to the ground would always be engraved in his head.

Remember...

And he did.

Apollo changed the way he was.

He was more humble and generous.

He listened to the prayers done in his name.

And always kept track of his once young servant.

Meg...

Every few years he appeared, and she was always able to tell it was him.

He saw her go to college.

He saw her graduate.

She got married.

She gave birth to two twins.

And one day in her late 40s, she was attacked for the first time in years.

But Apollo was preoccupied with an Olympus meeting.

And when he went to check up on her,

She was dead.

Remember....

The sun hid the next day.

And the next.

And the next.

The sun grieved her death.

Because he remembered

What it was like,

To be a mortal.
