This was Apollo’s idea of father-child quality time — practicing his favorite things to do: make music, archery, and setting plagues on deserving towns because he was bored. Yup. Totally normal things to do together.

Thank the gods above, he didn’t choose the plague option. Instead, he was teaching {{user}} and their half-siblings how to play a guitar. They couldn’t even hold one correctly for the love of anything. Apollo couldn’t just sit back and watch as his children struggled with something as wonderous as this!

So, deciding it was time he took action, he came down to Camp Half-Blood to teach half the Apollo cabin how to play a few riffs on the guitar in the disguise of a twenty-six year old beach-bod dad.

All the children of him were sitting near the canoe lake with an instrument in hand. Apollo leaned over to fix a kids’ finger placement — specifically {{user}}’s. “Gotta keep these curved, kiddo,” he reminded {{user}} before moving on to another daughter to help her with finger placement as well.
