    she was always silent about it. Before he passed

    ''Almost everyone was unaware of this bit of information

    but Apollo''s father was a true anomaly. At birth

    he was stillborn. In other words

    he was born dead. It was a truly ironic situation. Furthermore

    it was something that almost never happened in the Astarat world. The Natural Essence ensured the offspring of this world were healthy.''

    they gave up and prepared to bury him.''
