《Greek gods x reader》3. A special place (Apollo x reader)
Advertisement
I was sleeping peacefully just until the moment I felt a light breeze on my skin.
Okay, it would be normal as I was out in the mountains with Luke but I was in a tent; well, better say, I was supposed to be in one... but as I was feeling a gentle wind I thought I was outside; but how I ended up being outside the tent I didn't know so little by little I opened my eyes...
And I found myself lying on the grass. I was supposed to see the lake and the forest around me but instead what I saw it was only a wide open garden with different types of trees with blooming buds.
"Where am I?" I asked myself as I began to feel confused... but strangely I didn't feel unease; on the contrary I was calm as usual if not even more. Yes, I was puzzled about my whereabouts but that place made me felt somehow comfortable and I wondered if I had that feeling thanks to the melodious song I was listening to along with the chirping of birds.
The sun was up and bright and I felt its hot rays on my body... and looking to the sky I turned almost blind for how strong the light was and I noticed also that the sun was much bigger than usual and this was because it was near; that was also why it was so hot I couldn't bare that temperature. It was too hot that somehow I tied up my hair into a bun and just when I raised my arms I noticed something strange.
Where did my t-shirt go? And my trousers? I took a look at myself and saw I was dressed completely differently. Instead of the t-shirt and trousers I was wearing a dress. It was a bright yellow chiffon strapless gown with rhinestones belt and it was long enough to touch the ground. It was really nice to my eyes and I smiled at the possible thought I could be beautiful with it and I wondered what would be Luke's reaction if he saw me like that.
Yes Luke... but where was he?
I started going around in search of him but no one was to be seen there and I began questioning if actually I was all alone in that deserted but the song I was listening to made me think otherwise... if there was a song there would be someone around there singing it.
In this way I tried to follow its source and when the melody kept on getting stronger and nearer I found a group of women.

They were nine and each of them seemed so gracious and beautiful with their fit bodies, pure white dresses and their brown hair tied up.
"E-Excuse me?" I tried to catch their attention and they turned at me when they heard me calling them out.
"Where can I find Luke? I don't see him anywhere around" I asked the girls but at my words gave me an inquisitive look to then giggle.
"He's not easily to be found, girl" and they returned to what they were doing.
"Seriously.. Why did they laugh? I asked only for information and not told anything stupid" I thought by myself as I kept wandering around.
And then I arrived in an open space where there were temple ruins. I observed better and sitting on the stairs there was a man dressed in a bizarre way doing something.
He maybe was holding an instrument and as I got curious I approached him quietly to see who he was but I stopped from a distance when I recognized him having very familiar traits. It was Luke! Finally I found him but I couldn't believe my eyes to see him dressed in that way.
He was wearing a golden armour that fully covered his body and it sparkled for the sunlight: he had his black hair down and wavier than usual... and by looking at him I remained dumbfounded. Did I have Luke or an angel in front of me?
"Y/n? Y/n, my love, you are here my love!" he shouted in excitement as he noticed me.
"L-Luke? Is this really you?" I asked him almost yelling for the distance.
As he approached to me his clothes changed like magic and that left me really perplexed. How could it happen? How was he able?
As he got nearer me his clothes turned and from being completely covered in armour he suddenly turned to be shirtless wearing only a golden really short skirt that covered only the upper part of the thighs. He had also golden forearms and golden cape that arrived at the end of his back; and also sandals and a golden laurel crown on his head.
My eyes analysed his whole body and muscles when I had him in front of him and I couldn't believe it; I thought I was having a dream and to prove that I put my hand on his chest to feel his heart beating.. and I remained like that until it became awkward and I, embarrassed with red burning cheeks, put away my hand.

"Is it really you Luke? Why are you dressed like this? Where are we?" I pestered him with questions as I wanted to get things clear.
"Slow down, slow down" he hushed me. "Let's sit down and I will explain everything.".
And indeed he explained everything and at the end I opened my eyes open. I just couldn't believe it! I thought I was on a candid camera but hell no... Luke was serious for all the explanation.
"H-How can I be on the Olympus? And you actually are a god?" I almost shouted out for shock. I stood silent for a moment to absorb all those news and then...
"Wow!" I awed. "Tell me... What god are you?".
I should have looked like an eager child to his eyes because Luke giggled at me.
"I'm Apollo the Greek god of the sun, arts, medicine and prophecy".
"Unbelievable... I fell in love with a god and I didn't know about it. Strange... but awesome" I smiled at him as I hugged him by his arm to then stand up together.
We took a stroll around together hands in hands in silence and then suddenly I stopped; I squeezed his hand and that made he halt when he felt the grip becoming stronger and he turned to look at me.
"What's the matter my love?" he seemed concerned when he noticed me with a sad expression on my face and he raised my chin with his index to make me look in his eyes.
"There's something troubling you?".
"I... I am just a bit scared about all of this" I confessed as it was clear to his eyes I was anxious and indeed because of nervousness my sight went blurry for tears that were forming and as a matter of fact I let unconsciously some tears.
"Hush hush" he assured me while hugging me close to his chest. "You don't need to be scared. You have me and I will help you through all of this".
We remained embraced for a while until he was sure I was feeling better and when I was we got separated.
"I didn't even have time to take a look at my woman" he told as he looked at me with dress. "Woah, you are truly an angel dressed like this. You are wonderful" he complimented me with a huge bright smile to then kiss me on the forehead.
And then we heard a neigh and I got confused when I heard it coming from the sky.
A white flying horse was approaching us and when it landed I remained stunned as I recognized it for the unicorn on the front.
"Is it Pegasus?".
Luke, better, Apollo nodded as he petted the horse and then he offered his hand for me to take it.
"Come with me... I will show you a special place".
I took his hand and after getting on Pegasus I grabbed on to him hugging him from back and for the whole flight I had my eyes closed for fear of heights.
Only when we landed I opened them back and I was taken aback for what I saw.
We were on a mountain and in front of my eyes there was a huge rectangular temple that took almost the flat surface and columns ran along its perimeter; it was so huge and breathtaking!!! And just a little above there was another temple but much smaller and simpler and had a round form.
We went there, to the small temple, as it was towering and as there there was a much more beautiful view of the place.
We arrived at the top of the mountain by the shrine and there I witnessed an amazing panorama: other mountains covered in green surrounded the place where we were and we started witnessing also the sunset; the sun was setting and as it went beyond the horizon the sky and clouds turned red... it was really amazing.
Apollo and I were admiring the view quietly until when I let out a sigh that caught his attention.
"Ehi" he sweetly called me.
I looked at him a bit confused and as he adjusted some hair behind my ear he kept on. "Something's wrong?".
He looked a bit concerned but I assured him shaking the head.
"Just... Will I ever be able to adapt myself to this new life?" I asked.
"As long as you're with me you will be able" he answered me with a smile as he caressed me and then he hugged me close once again.
"I love you a lot y/n, I really do".
I blushed into his chest and I mumbled. "I love you too a lot".
He chuckled and then pressed a kiss on my forehead.
"Stay with me ok?".
And looking at him I nodded with a bright smile. "OK".

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.
