        No one much called him Aristaeus, save a few he was willing to allow be settled in their old ways, Athena included. Like Apollo she was one of the few Gods who knew that he was aware of his past self and he was content with this because while they debated the curse together she never tried to force his hand. He could sense parts of her perhaps wanted to but she had voiced to him how important it was for her to be a newer version of herself, to return to her Godhood changed. Theo admired that, even if he felt, quite frequently Athena was...

           “I wish you were not so hard on yourself,” he commented, taking a sip of his wine as they sat in his living room of the small cabin on his olive farm. She’d visited a few times, the modest home of his filled with various books on beekeeping, farming, wine making, and a few on tanning and drying meats. The most obvious object in the room was a wooden wine shelf that took up an entire wall of his living room, the brilliant shades of red shifting in the fires light. “There are other Gods more deserving of that.”

            Resting a hand on his jaw he focused his gaze on her. “How have your efforts been going, though? At the lawfirm?”

Apollo: What kind of music are you into?

The thing that can describe the music I’m into is whatever is in a musical soundtrack or generally movie or TV Show soundtrack or could be in a soundtrack. It can literally be anything, but it has to compliment my ear. So, that’s usually jazz.

Agamemnon: What is an achievement you’re proud of? 

As much as I love Boston, just getting away from my hometown and coming to New York to find my dad was rather huge for me. And can be considered an achievement. Also, getting out of bad relationships either it’s my ex or friends. A future achievement  that I’ll be too proud would be if I finish my master’s unscathed.

Trident: Who are your favorite people? 

Ah there are a lot. Besides my father, of course, I’m really happy that I’ve just met those people. It’s definitely my roomates Soo ( @syngprk) and Aya (@rebegirl-aya) ….Hmm…. Jordan (@jrdnprk)....Josie (@josephinecelia-r)      Also, I might not know them that well but Lara (@larism) and Alexander ( @mindovcrheart) can match my cheerfulness and those are in my favorite  list. I can go on and on-I’ve met quite a few great people lately. Oh Emma (@emmabvandenberg), as well. Sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone. I love you all!

Athuna: If you could live anywhere in the world for the rest of your life, where would it be?

Tartarus: What’s a short term goal you hope to achieve?

At the moment, I’ve heard that the coffee shop next to my book store is closing down and I’m thinking of investing some more money and expanding the business a little bit. Also, a shorter term goal is getting to form a quiet reader’s space for people to go and study inside the book store.

 Sun Chariot: What is your favorite mythological creature?

Unicorns, mostly. But lately, after primary  research, I’ve grown fond of Quetzalcoatls so much that they’re probably in the first place of my mythological creature pedestal.

Actaeon: Tell about a memory you wish to forget.

“When I was eight, I was practicing violin with my mother, and it was one of those days where I was distracted and couldn’t get the melody right. My mother was very disappointed and angry, and she made me practice non-stop, with no breaks for eight hours that day. I cried myself to sleep that night because my fingers and arms hurt so much after practice and because of the reminder of every single word that came out of her mouth.”
