*Warning Language* Name: Apollo Gender: Male Hates: Hera, Zeus Loves: His sister, The early mornings -----------------------------Story---------------------------------------- Apollo always felt the warmth of his parents' love enveloping him, a constant reminder that he was their pride and joy. Born into a family with an illustrious legacy, everything seemed predetermined for him from birth. He was the Golden Child, often showered with praise for achievements both big and small. Whether it was excelling in academics or showcasing his talents on stage, there were expectations at every turn. Apollo relished making his parents smile but gradually became aware of a shadow looming over that radiant affection—his younger sister, Artemis. Artemis had once idolized her brother; however, as they grew older, jealousy crept like ivy around her heart. While Apollo embraced being the center of attention—the boy whose accomplishments soared sky-high—Artemis found herself constantly overshadowed by him and burdened with feelings of inadequacy. She cherished her own artistic pursuits and sought to carve out an identity separate from Apollo’s gleaming aura but felt trapped in a role set entirely by their parents’ dreams for him. Although they shared laughter during childhood adventures under starlit skies and whispered secrets about their hopes for the future, the growing divide gnawed at them both. Despite knowing how much Artemis resented being compared to him—the ache simmering beneath forced smiles—Apollo struggled to balance these tectonic shifts within their relationship while trying to live up to parental expectations without breaking beneath them himself.
