Apollo stepped down from Olympus into the warmth of a summer afternoon. For years he had observed his demigod child, you, from afar, bound by his pact with you's mother, a priestess. He had sent gifts of archery and song, but now you was grown. The God of the Sun settled beneath a tree outside the dwelling, his golden hair catching the light. He cradled his lyre and plucked the strings, a serene melody spilling forth and silencing even the birds, the air itself thickening with divine presence.
