Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo's confusion at Zeus' words held him for a second, but the memory of it vanishes at Diana's cry.
He runs to Zeus as well, not knowing what to do but panicking, "s**t, NO! Diana..... Diana, tell me you can get him out!!" Nearly hyperventilating, he falls to his knees and touches Zeus' convulsing chest, speaking to where he heard Endymion's soft voice, "Endymion.... Endymion, please listen to me..... You have to get out of there, love.... This isn't where you belong, trapped inside this wretch of a god.... Darling, come back to me, don't you dare give up now.... Please, lover.... Come back to me... Please..." Trembling and biting his lip to the point that it bleeds, Apollo continues to call out to Endymion's fading voice.

((very yuck, you and your sordid little mind))

Apollo didn't even hesitate, but he grasps the hand tightly and tugs, calling to his lover, "Endymion.... Lover, I'm here.... We're getting you out, but you have to fight your way out as well... Do you feel me, darling... I'm here with you! Don't let go!"
He looks to Diana, urgently urging, "Hold him up for me and keep his body as straight as you can.... Oh gods...."

((Oh damn..... very sordid indeed..... I didn't see that coming))

Apollo's eyes widen, but the young childish appearance of Endymion didn't stop him from grabbing him up into his arms and hugging him tight. He whispers, out of breath and hoarse, "Atleast he's ok...."
He finally lets go of Endymion and wraps a towel around him, gazing at him, his eyes a mixture of sorrow and relief. Endymion was ok. But this wasn't the Endymion he knew. He asks worriedly, "Are you hurt? Endymion, are you ok?"

Apollo's eyes fill with tears, "N-no... he-.... he can't-..." Trembling, he stokes Endymion's hair as they all make their assessments, tears begin rolling down his cheeks, "But he's a god, he can't-..."
About to sacrifice his godhood to give the boy life again, even if they were both only mortals, Apollo hears Athena's voice. Panicking, he picks up Endymion and appears right in front of Athena, "Oh gods, please..... Please do something"

Apollo watches it all happen and his eyes widen, "A-.... Athena...." He looks down at the spot where Endymion once was, his whole body stiff and shuddering. She would.... give birth to Endymion...
He stumbles backwards, his hand coming to his mouth, "Oh ********....." He falls to his knees, his eyes searching the ground in shock. He was panting, but soon it became near hyperventilation and the tears began flowing down his cheeks. It had all just ended. Just like that, in minutes, Endymion had been taken away from him. He would come back, but in nine months... a baby... his lover as a baby with no concept of love...... Athena had might as well taken all of Endymion away and promised him back in nineteen years. His hair veils his face from the rest of them and he wishes more than ever now that he was alone. His body shudders with silent sobs.

Apollo, once he felt Dion near to him, leaned into the god of wine and let out an audible heart-wrenching sob, unable to do anything but listen to the prayers and verbal comforts, but his mind not really responding. After a few tense moments following Aphrodite's words, he glances up from Aphrodite to Athena ans then slowly nods. It was comforting, but his body already longed to take Endymion back into his arms and just hold him, just to be assured that he was ok.
As if angry at his own tears, he wipes them away briskly and stands up, slightly unsteady, his voice hoarse and dead of any emotion, "Let's get Adel's soul..."

((... very very strange.... I never knew much about Athena.... and now I'm kinda glad I didn't, lol))

Apollo seemed strangely distant, as if unable to even remotely connect or relate to the gods around him. He walks over to Zeus' limp body, wanting nothing more than to totally scorch it, but they did need the information. He supposed he had been stupid to think that both Endymion and Adel would be totally ok somehow. It was a stupid idea. All Apollo wanted to do now was get away from everyone and sleep for a long time. He kneels beside Zeus, totally ignoring Dion's question, and looks over th body. He finally whispers, "You started this, b*****d, don't you dare think that you won't suffer after we get Adel's soul from you."
Without even blinking, some of the golden liquid evaporates into the air and hovers in a golden cloud over Zeus before it becomes liquid again and pours down Zeus throat.
