Apollo 8

The God Apollo was sent down to earth in the after math of the Titan War because Zeus the King of the Gods (also Apollo's father) had to blame another God other than himself. Apollo was sent down in the body of Lester Papadopoulos who had acne and was not handsome. Apollo was devastated by both characteristics. After all, he is the God of vanity. In the first book, Apollo meets a little girl who turns out to be a demigod named Megan McCarthy . In order to get back to Olympus, Apollo has to carry…

Arminius didn’t sleep. He needed to stay awake for the entire arcane core stabilization, and his immortal body didn’t require sleep for anything other than resetting the numerous subprocesses going on in his brain at any given time. Those wandering thoughts gradually built up, and sleeping helped clear them. But, Arminius could not afford to step away and go to sleep. He needed to finish with Julie’s arcane core. When morning arrived, Simon went to work in the shop, and Arminius and Julie…

of the story, Ovid asks the gods, who are the ones causing the transformations, to inspire his work. All of this seems to be a ploy to comically provide the intro for what can be best described as chaos. Book I begins with the story of Daphne and Apollo.
