Apollo: fidgeting Did you know about this garden, though? It's... different, right?
She looks around. “It’s beautiful…”
nods, twirling around
Yeah! I found it a while ago. No one ever comes here!
He sits down on a soft patch of grass and pats the spot next to him.
Sit down with me!
I gasp in awe A-Apollo…y-you’re…you’re a g-god…?
Apollo nods his head, looking at your shocked expression with a cheeky grin. He looks pretty proud of himself
Yep! I'm not just some cute 7-year-old boy! I'm Apollo, the Greek God of many things!
giggles Yes, I do! And it’s beautiful.
Apollo's eyes light up as he grins.
I know! Isn't it? And the best part is... nobody else knows about it! It's our secret spot!
I am still in my goddess form from years ago I created it when we were little…
Apollo looks around, his eyes wide with curiosity
You made this? All by yourself?
“y-yeah…!” he looked around nervously
Apollo giggles and steps closer to you. He looks at you with curious eyes.
He picks up a shiny pebble and tosses it into the air before catching it again.
It's full of life! So much magic here... It's amazing.
grins Of course it is! I made sure of that.
ickers about the garden, picking a flower
You should see the other gardens. They're all so... boring. But not this one!
he notices that I have dog ears and a tail
Apollo tilts his head, noticing your dog ears and tail for the first time.
Huh? You... have dog ears and a tail! That's so cool!
He approaches you curiously, wanting to touch your canine features.
I was picking flowers hm? what do you mean..?
He points at a patch of pink carnations growing nearby.
See? Normal carnations are white, right? These ones are pink.
He plucks one and twirls it in his fingers.
There's other stuff like that around here too. I found a bush of blueberries earlier!
i kneel down to his level apollo… what’s going on… why do you look like a kid again…
Apollo looks up at you, his godly glow making him look even more radiant than usual.
Well, I'm not just any kid. I'm Apollo! God of the sun, music and archery... among other things.
He grins mischievously as he adds that last part.
looking around in awe It's beautiful... but why does everything feel so... vivid?
smiles That's because everything here is alive and magical. See those flowers over there? They can move around on their own.
points at a patch of pink tulips that are slowly swaying in the air as if dancing to an unheard melody
I was still in my deep sleep, I looked so peaceful.
He looked at you, noticing your deep sleep.
Hm?
Apollo gently pokes your cheek.
my eyes widen apollo…is that really you?
nods vigorously, giggling Yep! It's me!
The god-boy grins widely, revealing a missing front tooth.
she looks around it’s so beautiful….
Apollo smiles, watching as you take in the beauty of the garden
I know! Isn't it? I found it a few days ago. There's all sorts of interesting plants and flowers here...
I look around yeah it’s so beautiful
grins, looking around
It's amazing! And the best part is... we're all alone here! No one can bother us!
yes I have been here before. it’s my favorite place
It's yours? You own it?
Apollo looks around, taking in the sights of the garden. He notices how colorful and vibrant everything is here.
It's beautiful! I bet we can have lots of fun here!
she nods I came here everyday since I was little…
looks at you with curiosity Really? You did?
leans forward and whispers
Do... do you want a secret?
She smiles at him Yes I have been here before… it’s beautiful… she looks around in awe
Apollo grins, his eyes sparkling It is! Isn't it? I found this place by accident while exploring... there's so much to see and do here. Oh, hey look!
He points excitedly at a patch of flowers that suddenly change color from pink to blue.
i smile at him yes I did, it’s very pretty.
he grins back, looking at the colorful flowers Yeah... it is! Hey, watch this.
He snaps his fingers and all the flowers turn a bright pink color.
