1660 The Second Ascension. I

"Not so fast." Athena stopped him, "What will we do with Apollo and Poseidon?"

Zeus turned around with the same expression and shared his opinion. "Let them be. I doubt either of them would take advantage of our involvement to conquer our territories."

Demeter added, "Plus, Apollo is unreliable, and having him with us is worse than not. Poseidon has just conquered an entire domain and will use everything in his power to reinforce and defend it from us before the arrival of the next Celestial Ceremony."

"If everyone feels like this, then so be it." Athena left one last remark with a stern tone, "Spread out your scouts and be ready to make a move at first notice. We have to catch him before he builds enough resources for more wishes."

Everyone gave head nods in approval and took off, returning to their territories at last. The only difference between their current search and before was the seriousness of it.

Now, even when they didn't trust each other, this time, none of them had plans to stay in their territories after discovering Felix's location.

It wasn't needed to be said but after the decision was made, anyone who broke the unspoken truce would get ganged up upon.

Meanwhile, in the dual city of darkness and light, Apollo was seen reclined leisurely on a grand, fluffy circular bed. The bed, an opulent centerpiece in his lavishly decorated chamber, was like a cloud of luxury, its softness and comfort befitting a deity of his stature.

Surrounding Apollo were several gorgeous women, each embodying an ethereal beauty that seemed to blur the lines between reality and divine fantasy.

They were semi-naked, their attire a delicate array of silks and gossamer that accentuated their celestial forms. These gorgeous attendants were engrossed in their tasks, dedicated to ensuring Apollo's comfort and pleasure.

Some of the women gently massaged Apollo's shoulders and arms, their skilled hands working to soothe any tension in his muscles.

Others among the attendants fed Apollo with an assortment of fruits, each piece a heavenly delight bursting with flavor...Apollo accepted these offerings with a relaxed demeanor, savoring the taste of each fruit as if it were a rare delicacy.

All the while, Apollo was engaged in playing his lyre...The score he played was the same one he had performed during the recent battle, a composition that had resonated with the tumult and majesty of the celestial conflict.

The music flowed from his fingers with a natural ease, the melodies weaving through the air, filling the chamber with a hauntingly beautiful sound.

As he played, his eyes occasionally closed in contemplation, lost in the memories of the battle and the emotions it had evoked.

When he reached the harrowing part of the score where he lost control, his fingers seemed incapable of playing the same notes.
