the trials of apollo book two the dark prophecy

“My daughter is STRONG and GOOD, and any prophecy saying otherwise is being misinterpreted.” “You’re wrong,” she hissed through gritted teeth. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the prophecy may say something about Meg turning on Apollo once again.”ĭemeter glared at me. “-even if she did ultimately choose to help Apollo and save the grove. “She did betray Apollo before-” Demeter looked outraged. “She’s a young, conflicted girl who’s been heavily manipulated throughout most of her life,” I said evenly. “You better not be suggesting that Meg would side with Nero,” she said. “Perhaps the prophecy she’s got locked within her contains something about Meg and Nero?” I suggested.ĭemeter gave me a warning look. I doubt that Commodus would have taken Georgina with him while visiting Nero, and Meg’s not showing any signs of recognizing the girl anyway, so I really don’t think Georgina’s ever even seen Meg before.” Georgina’s been kidnapped for less than a month, and Meg escaped before Commodus could meet up with her - well, meet up with her again, at least, since Meg had evidently seen him once before. “How does she even know about Nero? Much less Meg. Meg’s expression turned stony, shutting off any sign of emotion. “No! NERO! NERO!” she screamed, ripping away from Apollo and running back into her cell, staring at Meg in horror. Which turned wrong when Georgina saw Meg. Georgina continued speaking in one-to-three word, mildly nonsensical phrases as Leo and Apollo gently coaxed her to follow them. Nico had already said that Apollo had a strong possibility of death months ago, and Apollo’s life hadn’t gotten any less perilous since then. I hoped that for Artemis’s sake, she hadn’t told her Hunters to help Apollo - or that if she had, she’d made it more clear to them not to mention it than she evidently had for Britomartis.Īs for Georgina, I was taken aback, but not surprised at her ramblings about Apollo and death.

I’d managed to placate Zeus about the Hunters for now, but I doubted that would hold.
