Apollo didn't waste any time, he immediately grabbed Eleena's hand and ran away to the field. A few men started chasing them with weapons in their hands. Eleena couldn't run any faster and was already running out of breath.
"Apollo!" She called before she stumbled and fell. Apollo quickly looked and the men were already coming to them so he stood in front of Eleena.
The three men stopped and prepared their spear and swords while Apollo readied himself to fight them physically. Eleena slowly stood but her ankle was sprained and she hissed when she felt the pain spreading in her body.
"Give us the destroyer and your life will be spared." The man in the middle said.
"You have to go through me."
Apollo healed Eleena as soon as they reached the island. Despite the darkness, they still travelled the sea as it is more dangerous for them to stay in the field. More men might come after Eleena so Apollo didn't take the risk.He was utterly shocked seeing Eleena in that frightening state. Although he knows that it was not really Eleena who did those horrible things, he still cannot erase the images in his mind."Whoever you are, I will kill you with my bare hands." He said through gritted teeth while staring at the unconscious Eleena. Apollo sighed before caressing her cheek then he stood.He is now more determined in knowing the identity of the creature that is infesting Eleena. He's enraged knowing how it hurts her in the most traumatizing way and Apollo cann
Eleena's eyes widened as she felt Apollo's warm lips against hers. Her heart pounded so wildly as if it would rip her chest apart. She forgot that she's soaking wet as the kiss started to burn her. Eleena didn't move and she just stared at Apollo who had his eyes closed. His arms are still around her waist and it was a good thing as Eleena felt she would fall any moment.Apollo slowly opened his eyes and he instantly felt regretful when he saw Eleena's shocked state. He immediately pulled away and let go of Eleena which caused her to fall down."I'm sorry, Eleena." Apollo rushed to Eleena and gently guided her up.‘Sorry? For what? Because I fell or because you kissed me?’ She thought and she almost asked him those questions but she stopped hers
“Let me go, Apollo. You’re hurting me.” Eleena tries to remove Apollo’s hold in his arm but it’s firm.He only let her go when they reached her room. Eleena glared at Apollo while massaging her arm and he just kept staring at her seriously. Seeing Apollo’s reaction, Eleena slowly softened her reaction until she decided to look down. Somehow, it frightens her seeing him grim.“What would happen if I didn’t come?” Apollo’s voice is still gentle but a hint of frustration is laced in his tone.Eleena sighed heavily before she put both of her hands on her side. She gulped but the lump in her throat remained. Her heart is still pounding due to what happened at Mount Olympus. Although Zeus dragged Hera away from her
“I’m someone’s loss?” Eleena quickly sat up and slapped lightly on her cheeks simultaneously.“He’s not that someone, right?” She groaned before putting a pillow against her face and screamed her frustrations.The last thing that Apollo told her kept bugging her. She thought she already overcame the awkward tension between them because of the kiss they shared but she was wrong. The sweet message of Apollo made Eleena’s heart flutter again. Her face burned more and more every time she remembered his exact words and there’s nothing she could do about it but to endure the unwanted pleasure and satisfaction.“Oh come on, Eleena! Apollo doesn’t like you.” She cringed at the sudden thought th
“What was that, Apollo?” Artemis said as soon as they left Eleena who’s still unconscious in her room.Among all of them, it was Ares who was shocked the most. His boldness and pride vanished into thin air as soon as he came face to face with Eleena, the frightening version of her. Hermes gave them each glass of water before he sat between Artemis and Ares. Apollo sighed before he looked at them seriously.“I believe that was the destroyer.” He cleared his throat then looked at each of them but they just stared back at him as if they wanted him to explain.“I still don’t know the exact details about him but he is inside Eleena.” Apollo added that only confused the three gods more so he sighed. “I believe he on
“So what are we going to do now?” Eleena asked with a blanket wrapped around her body.They just finished eating their dinner. After their talk earlier, Eleena rested as she was already close to fainting again Now, she recovered a little though she needs more time to heal.“I think we should talk about this tomorrow.” Apollo stood and was about to help Eleena up but she firmly shook her head.“I had enough rest, Apollo.” Eleena looked at him seriously and seeing the determination in her eyes, Apollo sighed and sat down again.“But as soon as we finished discussing, you will take a rest.” Apollo said authoritatively so Eleena had no choice but to
“Where are you going, Apollo?” Eleena asked as soon as she got out of her room.Apollo stopped fixing his clothes and faced Eleena. He smiled after seeing her innocent face. Despite just waking up, Eleena is still beautiful in his eyes.“I will start forming our army.” Eleena’s brows met upon hearing Apollo’s answer.“Now?” She looked outside the window. “The sun is just rising. Have you eaten your breakfast?” Eleena peeked at the untouched food on the table before pursing her lips.“I cannot waste any time, Eleena. We need to outsmart the destroyer.” Apollo turned serious as he uttered their enemy’s name. Eleena fr
Eleena glanced at Apollo who’s cleaning his sword. As soon as they left Mount Olympus, he didn’t talk to her. She knows to herself that he is mad and it upsets her. She already apologized to him but Apollo is not responding to her so Eleena chose to distance herself from him for now.Apollo is still boiling with anger. He abhor Zeus as well as his wife, Hera, but the one who he really despises is himself. He keeps blaming himself for putting Eleena into danger. However, what he cannot accept is Eleena getting stepped on by someone unworthy. The image of her bowing before Hera keeps on repeating in his mind and it is a torture for him. Apollo cannot help but to get frustrated every time he remembers that scene. It is as if his heart is breaking for Eleena.“What are we going to do now?” Eleena took
“Eleena.” Eleena slowly opened her eyes. She sighed as soon as she saw the sun had risen. It was not long enough after she started meditating and now, someone disturbed her. Based on the voice, it was not Apollo which relieved her because after the incident yesterday with Athena, she doesn't want to see him. "What is it, Artemis?" Eleena closed her eyes and tried to relax again. "I'm impressed. You knew it was me without seeing me." Artemis stood beside her. "I know your voice." Eleena responded sarcastically. "It doesn't mean that you were able to injure Athena's pride that you get to talk to me like that." Eleena scoffed then looked at her. Artemis has her hands on her waist like a nagging mother. Eleena shook her head in disbelief. "Will I be visited by one god every day?" Her brow shot up. "What's with the attitude?" Artemis sat next to her. Eleena averted her eyes and tried to calm down. However, her pounding heart doesn't let her. She's been thinking about what Athena s
Eleena woke up earlier to exercise. It was still dark outside but somehow her vision was clear. It's a sign that the destroyer inside her is getting stronger. This is the reason why Eleena wants to be in control. She wants to beat the destroyer before he could even execute his plans. Eleena started to jog at the shore. She jogged until the sun was up but she didn't feel an ounce of weariness at all. No matter how she hated being weak and clumsy, she misses her old self because now, she doesn't even fully know herself anymore. "Where is Apollo?" Eleena gasped when a woman blocked her way. Apollo's name brought sparks in her heart but she quickly erased the feeling. For a moment, she was confused before she pushed the woman but she casually dodged her. The unfamiliar woman poses a threat to her and despite the destroyer not being in charge, Eleena wants to protect herself. After everything she went through, she's different now. "Who are you?" Eleena asked while remaining alert. The
Eleena woke up because of the rays of the sun burning through her skin. She slowly lifted her arm then covered the light using her palm. She was confused for a moment before she realized that she had fallen asleep. Eleena sat up then looked around. There’s nothing but beautiful nature.“You’re awake.”She flinched when she heard someone speak. Eleena turned around and saw Apollo walking towards her. She quickly stood out of embarrassment. On the other hand, Apollo stifled a laugh when he saw Eleena’s messy hair as if it was nested by birds. There are even grains of sand that are stuck on it.Apollo slowly approached Eleena and she was taken aback but she remained on her spot. Her eyes went wide when Apollo gently combed her hai
Apollo quickly panicked when he couldn’t feel Eleena’s presence inside the house. He quickly checked on her in her room but it was empty. He then went outside but there was no sign of Eleena.“Eleena!” Apollo ran to the shore to see if the boat was still there.He stopped when he saw Eleena. All the fear and anxiety inside him disappeared in an instant while staring at her. Eleena’s sitting on the sand while facing the sea. Apollo cleared his throat and tried to not mind the warming of his face. He got scared so fast that Eleena might have left and even until now, his heart’s beating quickly.“Eleena. What are you doing here?” Apollo asked calmly before peeking at her. His brows knot when he saw Eleena’s
Apollo suddenly opened his eyes when he felt another presence inside his home. He quickly went out of his room, half-asleep, as he was triggered by the unfamiliar presence. Apollo stopped as soon as he saw Ares sitting at the table while Eleena was serving him food. A scowl quickly appeared on his face upon seeing his brother.Eleena and Ares turned towards him but Eleena quickly looked away. Even though three days have already passed since she lost control of herself, she is still embarrassed. She wanted to help but she couldn’t do anything aside from letting the destroyer come out. She feels useless, especially after seeing how Apollo takes care of her no matter how many times she messes up.“What are you doing here, Ares?” Apollo asked seriously before sitting across from his brother.
Eleena woke up with the other side of the bed cold. She quickly sat upon realizing what happened last night. She couldn’t help but to feel her face burning as the memory of her and Apollo’s bodies touching dawn upon her.“Did it even happen? Maybe I was just dreaming.” Eleena muttered as she looked around, looking for any sign that they cuddled.She froze when she saw the crease on the bed sheet on the other side of the bed. Eleena bit her lip to stop herself from screaming. It was a surreal moment that she never knew would even happen. Her heart suddenly thumped as her smile kept on wanting to come out.“He hugged me.” She whispered breathlessly. “And I want more.”
"What are you doing here, Apollo?" Athena glanced at Apollo before she continued wiping the blade of her spear.Apollo made himself comfortable and sat on one of the benches in Athena's room. He also doesn't understand why he went to Athena when he could have gone to the other gods instead. Now that he’s here, Apollo is certain that Athena will either mock him or don’t care about his problem at all.“Answer my question or you can leave.” Athena added when Apollo did not respond immediately. He sighed which caused Athena to tear her eyes off of her spear.“I am not a fortune teller to know what you are thinking, Apollo.” Athena said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
Eleena woke up from her short nap. She immediately looked for Apollo but he's not yet home so she disappointedly went back to her room. It's already sunrise and this is the first time that Apollo left her this long. Her stomach has been begging for her food since last night but she's not in the mood to make one."What did I do wrong?" Eleena asked herself and she spent the whole night trying to remember what she did to offend Apollo but nothing came to her mind. Her last memory was of them discussing the pomegranate fruit but it ended well so she's really confused right now.In the end, she cannot ignore her grumbling stomach. Eleena went out of the house and went to the mouth of the forest to gather some fruits. She stopped when she heard someone running in the deeper parts of the forest. Eleena wanted to think that it's
As soon as they reached the river of Styx, Eleena’s weakening soul vanished into thin air. The sight made Apollo panic as he started to look around for her soul. Hermes gave him an assuring pat on the shoulder but it didn’t comfort him.“It returned to her body.” He said before they went back to earth.Apollo quickly ran inside their house and into Eleena’s room. He put his ear against her mouth as his heart was about to burst while waiting for the rush of air to come out of Eleena. He sighed in relief when he felt her breathing. He couldn’t help himself but to thank the gods for allowing Eleena to return to life.“What?” Apollo looked at Eleena with fear circling in his eyes. He then shifts his attention to H
