I Need A Book With Post ToA Apollo.And If I Don't Have It - Tumblr Posts
Can not stop thinking about what could happen after Trials of Apollo, cause optimistically he does change. Apollo’s been humbled and he actually got to live as a mortal, again for the third time, but he made friends and connections.
Like, maybe after he’s gotten his divinity back, he splits his essence in two so he can do his job but mostly so he can hang out at camp half-blood willingly as an instructor. He just remains in his Lester form, partially because it puts other at ease but also because he’s grown to like it. The campers know him as Lester, they treat him like he’s an older brother when he isn’t teaching an archery or music class.
The campers call him Mr. A or Lester, though the older campers don’t really tell the newer campers who he is, it’s funnier to see their shock when they realize at some point.
Apollo doesn’t just stay at Camp Half-Blood, he goes to Camp Jupiter as well, though he tends to mostly stay in New Rome. Of course, he also goes to visit his friends he had made outside of Camps like Meg, who he considers his little sister.
The other Olympian’s are distant, but Artemis and Apollo interact with the mortals and demigods the most, along with Dionysus but that’s more so a punishment for him. Artemis with her Hunters, and Apollo with the campers.
Sometimes, Apollo will have a simple quest for demigods, such as finding a lost object. Once the demigods set out, he follows them to keep them safe, even if they don’t know it. He already felt grief and heartbreak, he doesn’t want the demigods to know it as well.
Optimistically, Apollo changes. He’s an instructor, an older sibling, and a friend to demigods.
Some habits are difficult to break, he is over four thousand years old, and a god, but learning is a process. The moments Apollo grows to like are the simple ones with others. And of course, he remembers what it’s like to be human.
