Apollo cringed at Persephone's comment on the dead thinking they could return. He had never liked the idea of death, preferring the living and all things to do with life over the other. He was the god of the sun after all, and the sun wasn't often associated with death. The first thing he had thought of was zombies and ghosts wandering the streets, freaking out the living and looking for the blood they often swarmed for during sacrifices to the dead.<br/><br/>He listened to Hera's ideas of war. Sure during times of great battles many of the gods and goddesses had received much more worship but were the times really right for that? He beamed when Athena agreed with him. The two weren't always the best to get along, she being more for the wisdom and such, while Apollo preferred the arts and fun. This was nothing new to him though, it was what caused many of them to not get along...some worse than others.<br/><br/>Hephaestus had been quietly listening as the others spoke and argued, but he agreed with Athena's point of how humans ideas of war had changed, knowing first hand how these changes, specifically in weapons, had changed.<br/><br/>"Athena is right, humans don't fight like they once did. Ever if we were to start a war, what are the odds of them calling on us for aid when they have stopped doing so for everything else? Their ways have evolved. They don't hammer away at the forge for their weapons, or sharpen their skills on the bow anymore than they praise any of us for victory of any sort." He stated, a hint of frustration in his voice. In truth he was a little upset, not everyone could change just like that. For some it would take much more effort as times had changed, and with it, so had lifestyles, trades, and jobs.<br/><br/>"They've got a point." Apollo said, leaning back in his seat with his hands behind his head and his legs stretched out before him. "What's to stop they from completely annihilating each other with? I mean, have you seen the things they have now? Mind blowing! And we though giving them fire was bad!" Apollo said, chuckling.
