《Greek gods x reader》3. A special place (Apollo x reader)
Advertisement
I was sleeping peacefully just until the moment I felt a light breeze on my skin.
Okay, it would be normal as I was out in the mountains with Luke but I was in a tent; well, better say, I was supposed to be in one... but as I was feeling a gentle wind I thought I was outside; but how I ended up being outside the tent I didn't know so little by little I opened my eyes...
And I found myself lying on the grass. I was supposed to see the lake and the forest around me but instead what I saw it was only a wide open garden with different types of trees with blooming buds.
"Where am I?" I asked myself as I began to feel confused... but strangely I didn't feel unease; on the contrary I was calm as usual if not even more. Yes, I was puzzled about my whereabouts but that place made me felt somehow comfortable and I wondered if I had that feeling thanks to the melodious song I was listening to along with the chirping of birds.
The sun was up and bright and I felt its hot rays on my body... and looking to the sky I turned almost blind for how strong the light was and I noticed also that the sun was much bigger than usual and this was because it was near; that was also why it was so hot I couldn't bare that temperature. It was too hot that somehow I tied up my hair into a bun and just when I raised my arms I noticed something strange.
Where did my t-shirt go? And my trousers? I took a look at myself and saw I was dressed completely differently. Instead of the t-shirt and trousers I was wearing a dress. It was a bright yellow chiffon strapless gown with rhinestones belt and it was long enough to touch the ground. It was really nice to my eyes and I smiled at the possible thought I could be beautiful with it and I wondered what would be Luke's reaction if he saw me like that.
Yes Luke... but where was he?
I started going around in search of him but no one was to be seen there and I began questioning if actually I was all alone in that deserted but the song I was listening to made me think otherwise... if there was a song there would be someone around there singing it.
In this way I tried to follow its source and when the melody kept on getting stronger and nearer I found a group of women.

They were nine and each of them seemed so gracious and beautiful with their fit bodies, pure white dresses and their brown hair tied up.
"E-Excuse me?" I tried to catch their attention and they turned at me when they heard me calling them out.
"Where can I find Luke? I don't see him anywhere around" I asked the girls but at my words gave me an inquisitive look to then giggle.
"He's not easily to be found, girl" and they returned to what they were doing.
"Seriously.. Why did they laugh? I asked only for information and not told anything stupid" I thought by myself as I kept wandering around.
And then I arrived in an open space where there were temple ruins. I observed better and sitting on the stairs there was a man dressed in a bizarre way doing something.
He maybe was holding an instrument and as I got curious I approached him quietly to see who he was but I stopped from a distance when I recognized him having very familiar traits. It was Luke! Finally I found him but I couldn't believe my eyes to see him dressed in that way.
He was wearing a golden armour that fully covered his body and it sparkled for the sunlight: he had his black hair down and wavier than usual... and by looking at him I remained dumbfounded. Did I have Luke or an angel in front of me?
"Y/n? Y/n, my love, you are here my love!" he shouted in excitement as he noticed me.
"L-Luke? Is this really you?" I asked him almost yelling for the distance.
As he approached to me his clothes changed like magic and that left me really perplexed. How could it happen? How was he able?
As he got nearer me his clothes turned and from being completely covered in armour he suddenly turned to be shirtless wearing only a golden really short skirt that covered only the upper part of the thighs. He had also golden forearms and golden cape that arrived at the end of his back; and also sandals and a golden laurel crown on his head.
My eyes analysed his whole body and muscles when I had him in front of him and I couldn't believe it; I thought I was having a dream and to prove that I put my hand on his chest to feel his heart beating.. and I remained like that until it became awkward and I, embarrassed with red burning cheeks, put away my hand.

"Is it really you Luke? Why are you dressed like this? Where are we?" I pestered him with questions as I wanted to get things clear.
"Slow down, slow down" he hushed me. "Let's sit down and I will explain everything.".
And indeed he explained everything and at the end I opened my eyes open. I just couldn't believe it! I thought I was on a candid camera but hell no... Luke was serious for all the explanation.
"H-How can I be on the Olympus? And you actually are a god?" I almost shouted out for shock. I stood silent for a moment to absorb all those news and then...
"Wow!" I awed. "Tell me... What god are you?".
I should have looked like an eager child to his eyes because Luke giggled at me.
"I'm Apollo the Greek god of the sun, arts, medicine and prophecy".
"Unbelievable... I fell in love with a god and I didn't know about it. Strange... but awesome" I smiled at him as I hugged him by his arm to then stand up together.
We took a stroll around together hands in hands in silence and then suddenly I stopped; I squeezed his hand and that made he halt when he felt the grip becoming stronger and he turned to look at me.
"What's the matter my love?" he seemed concerned when he noticed me with a sad expression on my face and he raised my chin with his index to make me look in his eyes.
"There's something troubling you?".
"I... I am just a bit scared about all of this" I confessed as it was clear to his eyes I was anxious and indeed because of nervousness my sight went blurry for tears that were forming and as a matter of fact I let unconsciously some tears.
"Hush hush" he assured me while hugging me close to his chest. "You don't need to be scared. You have me and I will help you through all of this".
We remained embraced for a while until he was sure I was feeling better and when I was we got separated.
"I didn't even have time to take a look at my woman" he told as he looked at me with dress. "Woah, you are truly an angel dressed like this. You are wonderful" he complimented me with a huge bright smile to then kiss me on the forehead.
And then we heard a neigh and I got confused when I heard it coming from the sky.
A white flying horse was approaching us and when it landed I remained stunned as I recognized it for the unicorn on the front.
"Is it Pegasus?".
Luke, better, Apollo nodded as he petted the horse and then he offered his hand for me to take it.
"Come with me... I will show you a special place".
I took his hand and after getting on Pegasus I grabbed on to him hugging him from back and for the whole flight I had my eyes closed for fear of heights.
Only when we landed I opened them back and I was taken aback for what I saw.
We were on a mountain and in front of my eyes there was a huge rectangular temple that took almost the flat surface and columns ran along its perimeter; it was so huge and breathtaking!!! And just a little above there was another temple but much smaller and simpler and had a round form.
We went there, to the small temple, as it was towering and as there there was a much more beautiful view of the place.
We arrived at the top of the mountain by the shrine and there I witnessed an amazing panorama: other mountains covered in green surrounded the place where we were and we started witnessing also the sunset; the sun was setting and as it went beyond the horizon the sky and clouds turned red... it was really amazing.
Apollo and I were admiring the view quietly until when I let out a sigh that caught his attention.
"Ehi" he sweetly called me.
I looked at him a bit confused and as he adjusted some hair behind my ear he kept on. "Something's wrong?".
He looked a bit concerned but I assured him shaking the head.
"Just... Will I ever be able to adapt myself to this new life?" I asked.
"As long as you're with me you will be able" he answered me with a smile as he caressed me and then he hugged me close once again.
"I love you a lot y/n, I really do".
I blushed into his chest and I mumbled. "I love you too a lot".
He chuckled and then pressed a kiss on my forehead.
"Stay with me ok?".
And looking at him I nodded with a bright smile. "OK".

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
