APOLLO:

After I fainted, I went into a slumber. But my sleep was interrupted by a terrible nightmare.

It was dark everywhere. The atmosphere glowed in a dim dark red colour. The air was toxic, sulphurous smell lingering in it. The ground was covered with broken glass. Even breathing was difficult as my trachea burnt due to lack of oxygen. Suddenly, everything around me started to spin and there I was in a room.

The walls were made of black bricks. From the design, it seemed like a dungeon. A muffled cry reached my ears. Following the direction of the cry, I turned a bend and reached a dead end. To my fearful astonishment, Percy was there chained to the wall.

A lady with pale skin and wearing pitch black clothes was standing in front of him, a whip jn her hand. The whip seemed to be covered with diamonds. Crack, crack, crack! Three consecutive whips were laid by her on Percy.

My little brother whom I love with all my heart whimpered. "Let's see how long you can last, Perseus Jackson", she seethed. "Lady Nyx, you won't be able to get a  single word out of me. My fucking fatal flaw is loyalty and I will live up to it." Percy spat. The lady, called Nyx, seemingly went crazy. She began to torture him more and more. I cried, screaming and begging at her to stop. But they behaved like I wasn't present there.

Suddenly I heard someone whisper, "Polly, its all right. I am here." The voice was so soothing, accompanied by the tune I had composed for Hyacinthus. Then the scene changed.

I was in a lush green field. Cows were grazing and there was the shepherd sitting on a rock. The shepherd turned and it was Hermes. I saw myself go and sit by him. Hermes asked, "Are you fine, bro?" I quietly answered, "Yes." "What happened to Hyacinthus wasn't your fault. He wouldn't have wanted you to mourn over him for eternity. It's already been a thousand years. When will you stop sleeping around? It's time to open your heart and love again.", Hermes turned to me. His eyes showed that what was bothering me was hurting him too. I whispered even more quietly, "I cannot. It still hurts so much. He hasn't been reborn yet. And you know better. Those sleeping arounds are nothing but jerking off. Before loving again, I need to make Aphrodite remove her curse. I don't want to suffer for love anymore."

Hermes was about to answer when I was pushed off my seat on the rock. I opened my eyes and saw myself at my infirmary at Olympus. Artemis was hovering over me. I scowled, "What happened, Arty?" She scoffed, "Dear old daddy happened. We need to go to the Throne Room right now for discussing about a new prophecy." "What! There has been a prophecy in my absence! How in the fucking hell is it even possible??", I shrieked. "How am I supposed to know? Prophecies are your domains doofus, not mine", my 'little sister' huffed.

She snapped her fingers and teleported us to the Throne Room. Zeus was grimly sitting on his throne along with the other Gods. Everyone seemed to be paying attention. "Well this is gonna be a long ass meeting", I thought to myself as Athena began to take up the agendas one by one.
