I've decided that for today's post I am going to be typing about "Trials of Apollo"! All I've done today is wake up, eat breakfast, read my book (can't type because the keyboard wasn't available), and play some games with my sister (not electronic). Anyway, let's begin! Apollo (the protagonist or main character) is in search for the oracles and saving them from the Triumvirate. There are three Roman emperors that are trying to conquer the world for themselves. The only way they are still living is because people still know about them or "they haven't been forgotten". Especially when the internet came! Now all mortals have to do is type their name and boom! You can find them on any internet source. Besides Apollo, he has three companions at his side. 

One of them is Leo Valdez, a demigod from the previous book that volunteered to help Apollo back at Camp Half-Blood. Two, Calypso, she is Leo Valdez's girlfriend so of course, she came. The woman was actually a sorceress put on an island by the gods. It's basically a prison because she couldn't escape unless someone else helped her. Thankfully, Leo
Valdez rescued her from the "prison" and here she is now. Unfortunately, Calypso's powers back on the island have disappeared and she needs to practice so they can come back to her. Third, Leo Valdez's bronze dragon, "Festus" is the name of the creature. I decided to call this "creation" made by Leo a companion because without it the 3 of them couldn't reach Indianapolis, let me explain.

You see, Apollo is set on a journey to find the oracles and is traveling to each state in order to do so. So far, they have been to about 5 states (one of them including Jersey City). Leo has never seen Festus so enraged at the sight of a state! The bronze dragon literally burned the flagpole! Anyway, finding the oracles aren't the only reason Apollo has set on this journey. Back in the first book, Apollo had a companion called, "Meg" who was apparently his master. When Apollo was cast down from the heavens as a mortal he knew that the first demi-god who noticed him was his master. That was a rule made by Zeus. But of course, he's never been sent to the mortal world because he's the leader of Mount Olympus! Meg was the first demi-god he met and also the daughter of Demeter!

That was the reason he picked her to be his master, also including the fact she had to be his master... Either way, Meg betrayed Apollo by leaving him for one of the Roman Emperors. As of what I know, that Roman Emperor has tricked her into thinking there was some type of "Beast". He did something to Meg father (assassination) and said the "beast" had killed him. Don't worry, later on in the book Meg realizes this and leaves the Roman Emperor (Nero) to come back to Apollo. The whole story is really just amazing and I love the way it is played out. I went on "Wikipedia" and discovered that the 3rd book for this serious is coming on "May" of 2018. Books must really take a long time to make. To see, "James Patterson" have about 8 books in one of his series's is pretty amazing!

Google News

I kind of want to talk about the "Florida Shooting" because my teachers and the school were addressing it as well. This one story talked about a kid named, "Anthony" who apparently body blocked the shots of the gunman in order for his classmates to all get inside the room. The kid suffered wounds on the back and the leg. That must take some serious determination and compassion. He put the lives of others has mandatory before himself. If this guy was trying to be a hero he did a pretty good job! The sheriff even went to the hospital to meet him. Because of Anthony many kids suffered no injuries and were okay. I wish him good luck on his surgery and hope he gets okay. Another story I read talked about the survivors wanted to enforce better "gun control". Anyway, that is it foe today's post. Until next time!
