[IC] The RoadTrip of Friends

[Dragon princess]

The stallions rolled their eyes but a clash if thunder and the stallions shot into the barn as mez just walked in calmly as ever. Xeon smiled"now stay in there trouble makers" mutters when everyone was in he closed the barn doors.

He got to the house smiling "you talked about seeing a Pegasus . do you know the story of Apollos horses?" He asked as he twisted his damp shirt out in the sink

[BeautifulSnow]

''You mean the horses that drives before his carriage when he let the sun rise and also when he lets the sun set down?'' Madison asked as she stood in front of the window and looked at the clouds. ''Yeah, that story I know but other story's not..'' she said with a smile and when she saw him drained shirt she walked to the bedroom and got them both a towel. ''It rains pretty hard'' she said and offered him a towel.

[Dragon princess]

"Well Apollo has four stallions all firey color as well as untamed. The leader was able to banish away every the second one I think you saw the fastest horse of the chariot. The other one has first hooves that make all those tell the truth. The last one is a stallion that helps flowers grow and sunflowers are its favorite" he muses gently shaking his he'd. He smiled "many think he named them chester, blossom, Mezisu and Luis" he muses gently and sat back slightly taking the towel and drying off

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison nodded. ''And the fastest is, Mezisu?'' she asked and dried her hair, taking her ponytail out. She looked outside again and saw the doors of the temple open. ''Oh no.. the doors of the temple are open... The storm could ruin the altar and the art inside there..'' she said, she tossed the towel away on the ground and ran off, she didn't even put on a coat but straightly ran outside, into the storm.

Wind was blowing and Madison cursed to herself for taking out the ponytail as now her hair was blowing everywhere. She ran as fast as she could trough the rain and slipped a few times, getting mud on her jeans and hand. ''For Olympus's sake! Stop that storm already Zeus'' she said but knew it wouldn't work at all. She arrived all muddy and messy at the temple and then saw that she could better wait inside than go back since that would be too dangerous. She walked inside and closed the door, then took the torch from the wall and went to put on the candles so she could see a bit.

[Dragon princess]

The Temple was well lit with glowing lights shining brightly in the world of the temple. It was dry in the temple glowing brightly with sunny light thats floated around happily. The barn was a different story, The hellhound named Abbodon or destoryer dashed toward the barn it snarled and roared as it lunged slamming into the barna nd roared angrily spewing flames out sharply all over the barn angrily.

The stallions roared and attacked the hound and as the leader attacked the hound angrily stomping and yelling agrily at the hound as the barn was going up in flames trapping the horses. The stallions unlocked the mares and singaled for them to fallow them and bashed through the barn door and broke them out into the yard sharply and got everyone out as the hellhound fled and left the barn to burn away.

Xeon ran out and saw the horses and ran over to check the mares seeing none of them where burned and smiles and saw Chester was burned slightly and healed him slightly and smiles gently and stroked them.

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison looked around and felt how her clothes dried and smiled happily. The temple had no windows and she couldn't look outside so didn't know what happened out there at the ranch. Madison walked to the altar and sat down at the foot of it. She looked up. ''I couldn't let the storm ruin your temple Lord'' she said and closed her eyes. ''And.. Now I am here, I want to thank you for showing me that wonderful Pegasus of yours and thank you for the blue print, which even allows me to have my own room'' she said and smiled some.

Suddenly she heard a loud roar outside and stood up shocked, she didn't know what to do or where to go. The doors to the chambers from the priests and priestesses that had lived here long ago always had been locked and so they where now. The doors of the temple flew open and Madison screamed, scared by what she saw.

At the ranch Dotsie whinnied loud and in panic, getting on two feet and telling the horses something was wrong with Madison.

[Dragon princess]

The hound stood there snarling sharply fangs bared at her sharply walking toward her the size of a horse and eyes glowing sharply . There was a blaze of light shined brightly behind her and on the alter stood a tall male with golden hair and deep blue eyes. it was....Apollo. Crashing through the windows came in the four stallions and they roared and their hooves shined sharply as they walked infront of the girl keeping her behind them as they snorted. The pegasus was back but it was in the form of its regular form of that of Mez and he snorted darkly his maine was on fire and hooves as well. Apollo walked off the the alter and stood up getting out his bow and arrows as the horses made asmall like circle and the hellhound growled deeply fangs bared and ran at them. the stallions lashed out sharply against the hound getting into a big fight. The god got out his arrows and aimed and the horses scattered and then the god shot killing the hellhound watching it explode in deep flames that flashed out but the horses kept them safe. When the fire was gone the stallions galloped out and only left Mez and the god.

The god looked back at the girl "are you alright?" he asked looking at her slowly eyes glowed as the building healed itself as well, the doors and windows fixed themselves.

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison had fallen on the ground and thought her life was over when she heard horses and opened her eyes, she saw how they fought and how they protected her. Then she was something, someone, she never had expected to see in real life. She was shocked to see Apollo and to see how he killed the big hound and how the pegasus from the day before had helped protecting her.

She saw how the other horses had left again and how Mezisu staid and how Apollo walked to her, asking if she is alright. She looked at him, blinked with her eyes and swallowed. Then she nodded, slowly getting up and seeing the temple had totally restored again. ''That.. creature..'' she stumbled and felt a little weak. ''What was that?'' she asked and looked at the god. She had dreamed of this day a lot of times. She just didn't know how to react, in her daydreams she didn't know that either and she swallowed. ''T-thank you...'' she said and bowed for him, almost falling over. ''I feel a little weak.. I think.. it is because I thought I would die'' she said and tears now appeared in her eyes.

[Dragon princess]

"Its called a Hellhound, its a dog from Hades often comes for the humans that have caught interests of the gods" He said and shifted human form to that of Xeon and stopped her from falling over "hey hey easy now my friend" said and touched her cheek and whiped away the tears burning them off and smiled peacefully looking at her "hey come on lets get you back to your home. The barn was destroyed by the hound, but the stallion saved the mares no one was harmed" said smiling gently as he picked her up swiftly and walked her out and saw the rain had stopped and swiftly ran here there to her home smiling gently. He got here into her barn and smiles as the mares and the stallions galloped over to make sure they where ok and put her down sloightly and stepped away slightly and put away the archery set onto Chesters back that had a saddle and halter on as well and smiles ently

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison felt his strong arms and somehow she felt more than just safe. When he told her, her barn was destroyed she felt new tears come up but hided them by putting her head down. She did see him change to Xeon but didn't say anything right now, knowing it was Apollo that held her in his arms was for her more than enough to completely fall in love with him.

When they were at the ranch again and felt the noses of Dotsie and Valentina she smiled some and got back on the ground. ''Oh girls... where do you all have to sleep now.. You can't sleep in my house'' she said and looked at Xeon. ''It was you all the time.. right... and Mezisu.. You send him here for me to take care of him..'' she said and walked over back to Apollo. She bowed her head and smiled. ''Thank you.. Thank you so much'' she whispered and looked back into his eyes, somehow she still could see Apollo instead of Xeon. ''I promise you to take even better care of Mezisu..'' she said and then was reminded of the destroyed barn again. ''Though, I do not have a place for the horses to sleep right now'' she whispered and sighed.

[Dragon princess]

"I have a place the horses can live till the barn is made. Its not far from here only half a mile down in the forest there isn a house where I stay and there is a large barm there for the horses. if you need them to stay there they are more then welcomed into the stables, there are eight stables all toegtehr and Mez likes to sleep outside a lot of time" Said smiling as he streached and smiled gently as the stallions nodded their heads.

[BeautifulSnow]

''That is wonderful'' Madison said with a smile and walked to Mezisu. ''Thank you, for protecting me'' she said and held her hand in front of his nose, just so he could choose either way if she could or could not pet him. ''Lord Apollo..?'' she asked and looked at him, while holding her hand up for Mezisu, so he could still choose what he did.

''Where you ever gonna tell me that you are Xeon?'' she asked and looked at him. She smiled and simply wanted to know the truth, but so she wanted to know much more. Like, what he had whispered into the wind yesterday.. Did he do that because she was his believer or because he actually loved her.. And, why did he help her so much since she only brought him flowers once a week and visited twice a week. And, what did he think of the red roses she had taken with her yesterday and what did he think when she thought I love you.

[Dragon princess]

Tjhe stallion looked at them and nuzzled her happily eyes closed brightly as he snorted gently and shakes himself out and whinnies at the mares that they would have a place to sleep. Apollo looked at her and smiled gently "I would have told you after the race actually. " he smiled and looked at her and grinned gently "You have a lot of questions. When we get to my barn I can answer them " he said smiling gently and saw the father coming home and man did he look shocked.

[BeautifulSnow]

''Okay'' she said and smiled some, when she saw her dad she walked to him. ''Dad.. We all are safe.. and'' she waited for a moment to think about what she would say. ''Xeon, has a place where the horses can stay until be build a new barn.. Last night Lord Apollo gave me a wonderful blueprint for a barn with twelve stables, a place to store the sadles and the food and above the stables there was a room for me. '' she said and smiled. She was happy that she had taken the blue print with her back inside.

Her father looked at her. ''But what happened?'' he asked. She knew her father wouldn't believe her if she told him about the hellhound but she had to tell the truth. ''Dad.. you need to sit down..'' she said. Once her father sat, she told him the whole story and even told him that Xeon is Apollo and that she will help him bring the mares and the two gelding Shetland Pony's to the forest where he lived, or where he lived when he was on earth. Her father didn't know what to say. ''Go take a shower.. Please, relax... I'll bring the horses to the barn together with Xeon'' she said and on request she used Apollo's human name.

[Dragon princess]

Xeon walked in slowly and looked at the father and smiled gently "don't worry you are in good hands as well as your daughter. but we need to get the horses somewhere safer so, We should be back in like thirty minutes" he smiled gently as he gave him a reassureing smile and went to the barn and cooed gently as the stalliosn trotted over happily and he smiled and gets onto Chester and the stallion hered up the females and smiled before tortting toward the stone fence and jumped over it with the other stallions happy and whinnes gently. he lead them down to his barn that he lived in the human world.



He smiled as the barn was long and inside it was very roomy and impressive everything was amazing as well as the tech inside of it and the golden chariot that lay inside of the barn backward. The house itself was impresive. It was up on a hill above the barn and the house oversaw a lot of the forest and even the temple as well.

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison got on Dotsie and drove next to Mezisu and smiled at the horse. ''Promise me you are not gonna start talking to me because then I am gonna faint'' she said to him and smiled. When she saw the barn and house her eyes grew in amazement. ''Wooow...'' She said and smiled, she asked Dotsie to walk a little faster and ended up next to Apollo. ''Sir, this really is amazing'' she said with a bright and loving smile.

Once they arrived and the horses had their place, of course the Shetland pony's had taken the first stable and both ran into it which had Madison made laugh. ''Those two you can't separate.. I tried when I bought them, I ended up with a hoof on my butt.. I think you have seen that and have laughed'' she said with a giggle. She placed Dotsie in the stable across Mezisu's stable and smiled.

[Dragon princess]

The horses where placed in their stables though Mezx acted like a patroling stallion as he slept out of his stable lot and snorting .Apollo smiled gently and nodded petting and putting in the food smiling as the stallion snorted and whinnies happily eyes closed slightly and rolled around slightly in their stalls.

Apollo smiled and nodding gently "wonderful well they look all happy. Shall i escort you home or will you like to see my house"

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison was happy to see the horses so lucky. She also was happy that they could stay over here so she could start the re-building from the barn. ''I do not feel like going home yet'' she said truthfully and smiled a little. ''Home.. is kinda destroyed and I do not wanna think about the work Hades has given me.. us..'' she said and looked down, she hand her hands in the back pockets of her jeans and looked back up at the god. ''I still can't believe you are actually the god that'' she stopped, found her courage and looked him in the eyes. ''The god that I love'' she then said, it was almost a whisper but she did say it out loud and that was actually the first time she spoke the truth about her feelings for Apollo.

[Dragon princess]

He laughed and nodded grinned gently "I see, well yes Hades kind of Helped us because then we get a whole new thing to work with. Now I can get the money for the wood and I can help move the wood as well and the stallion shappier to do that as well" grinned gently looking at the girl and smiled "love you too Maddi, Every since you first started coming toward the temple and giving flowers I was falling in love" he said honestly and then nodded "alright come on I'll show you my human house" smiled walking toward the doors of the barn and toward the hill where he had lived.

[BeautifulSnow]

Madison swallowed and blushed when he told her that he loved her too, she followed him and while walking next to him she kinda kept looking at him face. She knew he could only speak the truth but she what she was wondering about right now is how the other gods would react. Compared to Zeus, Hades, Aphrodite and the others, Apollo was still pretty young. She smiled and looked at the house. ''This is such a great house.. do you sometimes not wish you could always live in this world?'' she asked.
