Music is a magic that no many can master
With music you can control people
Make everything possible
You can shine through it
No one can escape its effects
And the one who can
Must be sealed away from others
Sirens were music creatures
Who controlled everyone who heard them
So be aware of the God of music
Because he can trap you
Under his golden lyre

not mine! I found it at pinterest)

Apparently it was tradition here, every full moon to gather to the forest and host a party, where the hunters would dance around fire, the diviner would tell stories about Gods and monsters and most importantly the God of music himself, Artemi's twin, Apollo would come and give his beautiful music.
It was quite fuzzy today. All the hunters would talk about was the party that would come in 3 days. They were actually more excited to see Apollo, even though they couldn't touch him or do anything with him they still admired his 'music'.
From what I read in the book and from what I heard from my sisters Apollo had quite the fame of being a flirty guy.. Also, I knew about his 'luck' with love.. He must be cursed because everyone he really loved and adore would find a tragic fate or death.
Daphne who turned into a tree
Cassandra who nobody believed her and most importantly
Hycanith.. His favorite.. The one I'm sharing the same name with..
He's still an asshole though, if you ask me.. I mean it's his fault for Achilles death! (not me being in love with Achilles O//w//O)
Anyway.. My head start hurt from all this fuzz so I decided to go for a walk to the forest for some moments of silence (I know that the last time I went for a walk it didn't end up well but what could happen? I'm in Artemi's territory)
I was walking through the beautiful trees when a beautiful melody got my attention.. I have no idea where it came from. It was a sad melody that made me want to cry.
I don't know why but I started singing along. Back in my reality I couldn't sing but apparently now I can. I sang about a lost lover. I'm not sure how I did it. The lyrics just came along...
When I stopped, the melody stopped too and I came out of the mist I was in..
I don't know how deep I went through the forest nor how many hours had passed. The only thing I knew was that I had this feeling that someone was watching me. I tried to track down the way I came from but I couldn't. I started to panic.
"Are you the one who sang?"
A male voice said.
I immediately turn around to see the most handsome man I've ever seen. He had golden hair, diamond blue eyes, golden skin and a beautiful smile. I swear he was shining. Why is everyone so attractive in this reality!
"Who are you?" I asked blushing furiously
"I asked first"
"Yeah, I was the one singing .. But it wasn't me who played the lyre"
"I know."he said smirking
"The melody was mine. It just surprised me how well your song matched my melody. Who thought you this song?"
"I honestly don't know. I just started singing because I felt like it"
"I see. What are you doing here. You know it's dangerous for a beautiful mortal to be out here"he said with an evil smirk
"You are the one who shouldn't be here! This is Artemi's territory. Men have no place here!"
"bhahahahha" the man laughed hysterically
"you have quite the attitude for a mare mortal. You should be careful with your tone"
This man gets on my nerves. What a waste of looks for such a shity personality. I won't sit here with him any longer
"I'm going back to the temple"
"Don't move!" he said and I felt paralyzed. No matter how much I tried I couldn't move.
"W-what did -"
He move his finger in a circle and I turn around. This man... Was he a God?
"You want to leave? You haven't even told me your name"
"Let me go first"
He snapped his finger and I was free again
"Now tell me your name"
"Y/n"
He paused for a moment
"Y/n... Pretty name. I like it"
"..."
After some moments of awkward silence he spoke
" Are you one of Artemi's hunters?"
"Kinda. She took me under her protection but I hadn't been officially announced as one."
"How bizarre.."
"What do you mean?"
"nothing.. I have to go now, see you soon"
"wait, you haven't told me your name yet!"
He ignored me and continued walking till he complete disappeared and then I heard familiar voices calling my name
"y/n!"
"Y/N"
"I'M HERE" I yelled back
My sisters came running to me and hug me then Artemis.
"Where were you! I was so worried"
I hugged her back.
"I'm sorry. I lost track of time" for some reason something told me to not mention the weird stranger
"it's okay. Just don't do it again. You must always stay close to your sisters"
She said and I felt like a child that had been scolded by her mother
"are you hurt? Did anything happened? She said checking me head too toes.
" Nothing, I'm totally fine "
"okay then. It's been a long day. Let's head back everyone"
.

We went back to the temple and my sisters went to their champers where they slept together.
I was sleeping next to the Goddess room. Before I close the door to my room I asked her.
"Why I don't sleep with the others?"
She seemed surprised by my question
"Because you haven't been officially announced as my hunter" she said emphasizing the my
"why does it takes so long to become one"
She gave me a tired smile and said
"if you become one then you will never be able to return home. Even though I want that, I respect your desire go back to your reality "
"...."
"Also, you must know it by now. You have felt it, haven't you? That fact that I treat you different from my sisters. I can't see you like one."
"W-what?!"
"I can't imagine you, being just my sister" she said stroking my cheek
"......." I wasn't sure what to say
"Goodnight my dear. See you tomorrow"
"goodnight..." I said feeling my cheeks red . I closed the door and fell into my bed. What a day! Did Artemis just confessed her feelings to me? Oh my! But why my mind is stuck on that annoying stranger. Why can't I stop thinking about him! This is.. Too much!

Little did you know that a God, a very jealous God, was watching from a tree? That's right Apollo from the moment he heard you singing and saw you, couldn't stop thinking about you!
Your eyes , your hair, your smile, your voice, it reminded a lot of him. Hycanith. He saw that as a sign from fate. That you could be his lucky chance at love. Even though it's been a really long time since his death and he still couldn't get over it, you came into his life, into his heart. When you told him that Artemis hasn't officially made you a hunter, he immediately knew that she doesn't intent to make you one for her own selfish reasons. Now that he saw this scene and he was correct, jealousy and anger was all over him! He knew his lack with his lovers but you were different, he wanted you for himself and only. He finally wanted a wife by his side. He wanted to be a different husband than his father. He wanted to try and if it weren't with you then he didn't want to be with anyone else. He would make you his. Of course the God of the sun had already a plan on his mind and he was willing to fight everyone and everything to have you
