Lucien is autistic and he struggles so badly with his own feelings- not being able to express himself properly, sometimes be seen as mean, even when he doesn't mean it- it has lead as well to failed relationships (Haurchefant and Nikolai)

Lucien is not a common man- he was born from the corpse of a dead god (: !!! to explain it better, in ancient times, the omicrons faced a cosmic entity, devourer of worlds, which they managed to defeat and seal, different parts of it, away- but one of them possesed an armor and escaped, crashing in Etheirys-

Said entity was later known as Stardust Arcadia, and was taken care by Lahabrea in Pandaemonium, things happen here and there but Stardust learns to love life where once he only knew hunger- he also starts falling in love with Lahabrea asjkfnasfja however said feelings may or may not have been Athena's doing so one day she can claim the remains of what was once a god (:

anyways, sundering happens and since Stardust was already just a glimpse of what was once a god, the sundering does make him weak as any other mortal being! at least, in the beginning since his power sleep, in hope he finds his other parts some time- There is also the fact that, even in his madness, Lahabrea looks for him- for his remains, whatever he can find to put him back together- or mayhaps, he was just following Athena's will again (i just wanna believe the heart of sabik was manipulating him as athena's wishes ajkfasfsa)

At some point, his despair makes him lose control of his magics, accidentally setting a village on fire, killing people on the way, causing a rampage till Azem appeared to stop him.

It wasn't new how unstable Apollo was, but after seeing the consequences, the convocation had to decide what to do with him, and some agreed that maybe, Apollo should simply return to the star since he was too dangerous for the beings in Etheirys, idea that made Fandaniel (Hermes) absolutely lose it-

But talk here and there, they finally agreed that it was best to send him to Pandaemonium, if anyone can deal with his powers, it was the wardens there- I wanna think Fandaniel and Hesperos secretly messaged each other, where Fandaniel begged him to please take care of him and treat him with the same care and compassion he has always done, thing that of course Hesperos would do-

Once there, Hesperos takes him under his wing and treats him as an equal, rather than another "prisoner" there- He also meets Leonidas, who would rather become his lover, his soul mate, his everything- and I love how Leonidas changes his view of their society after meeting Apollo, let's just say, he would agree with fandaniel during elpis lol

Leonidas sees how much Apollo wants to live, he struggles with depression, despair and anxiety, how uncertain his future seems, and yet he wants to live- Leo does everything in his power to give him a happy live down there.

I also like to think Apollo is allowed to wander around Elpis as long as he is accompanied with someone, Erichthonius, Hesperos or Leonidas; sometimes even Lahabrea (as the events take place before Pandaemonium)

During the Final Days, Apollo is the one to cause the most damage, accidentally transformating and creating the most dangerous fire monsters, consuming everything in their way- Leonidas being the one to put an end to Apollo's life, crying by his side, promising him he will find him and love him again-

they do meet, thousands of years later, as Ryan, a shard of Apollo's soul and Leonidas, a wretched creature whose only wish is to find his long lost lover
