Quest to Secure the Oracles

The Quest to Secure the Oracles is a quest taken mainly by @Apollo and @Margaret "Meg" McCaffrey, along with various temporary companions, as they travel across the @United States to make sure his Oracles are secured and out of the hands of @Triumvirate Holdings.

Banished to Earth

When Apollo, turned into a human, is brought to @Camp Half-Blood along with Meg McCaffrey by @Percy Jackson, where he learns that the current Oracle of Delphi, @Rachel Elizabeth Dare, has not had any prophecies in months. She reveals the existence of a powerful company known as the Triumvirate Holdings led by three evil Roman emperors whose main goal is to control fate with the oracles thus bending the future to their will. The former god recalls them along with the @Grove of Dodona.

He eventually comes across the grove and, along with the help of @Peaches, stops @Nero, the Beast, from burning down the grove. He is given a prophecy to find and heads out to secure the other oracles.

A Dark Prophecy

Apollo, along with @Leo Valdez and @Calypso, fly on @Festus to Indianapolis, Indiana to secure the next oracle. Apollo soon figures out that the next oracle is the Oracle of Trophonius, the spirit of his son Trophonius. The group soon learn that the oracle is located in in the Bluespring Caverns.

After taking the Throne of Memory from @Commodus, the New Hercules, Apollo and Meg head out and confront the oracle. Apollo drinks from the springs of memory and forgetfulness then plunges into the cavern with Meg. They arrive but Meg receives the prophecy and Apollo pulls her out, Apollo is forced to give CPR on her to ease her suffering. On their way out they, are stopped by a group of @Blemmyae who are setting a bomb in a last ditch effort to get rid of Apollo. Knowing that Trophonius actually wants the cave destroyed, his father tricks them into destroying the cave to destroy the oracle. After he defeats Commodus and his forces, he is given another prophecy telling him to go to the Southwest. Leo and Calypso chose to stay in Indianapolis and have normal lives, but first Leo flies to @Camp Jupiter on Festus to warn them of an attack on the new moon in five days. Meg transports Grover Underwood to them before they enter the @Labyrinth.

Labyrinth Undone

Apollo, Meg and @Grover Underwood emerge from the Labyrinth two days later in @Palm Springs, California. The area in Southern California has fire popping up from the ground causing natural disasters like wildfires and droughts. The flames are actually the essence of the faded Titan, @Helios. @Caligula, Neos Helios, had @Medea collect that and the remaining godly essence of Apollo so he can become the new sun. Apollo soon realizes this as well as the oracle being the Oracle of Erythaea, @Herophile, who speaks in puzzles and is imprisoned in the heart of this Burning Maze filled with Helios' Ichor.

The three recruit the help of @Piper McLean to scout out the Labyrinth to find the Oracle. When they decide to get the shoes of Caligula to reach the oracle, they recruit @Jason Grace to help infiltrate the Julia Drusilla Yachts, Caligula's mobile palace of fifty super yachts. The group succeed in getting the shoes at the cost of the son of Jupiter’s life. Piper stays behind while Apollo, Meg and Grover explore the Labyrinth with a @Pandos named Crest, who led them to closest entrance of the Burning Maze, a bear pit in the Griffith Park Zoo. The four solve puzzles to make up a prophecy and find Herophile, but are ambushed by Medea. She tries to drain Apollo's divine essence, but Herophile tells Apollo to focus and recite a prophecy, he does this and they realize they need the help of @Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, Bellona's daughter, for the next part. After Incitatus is killed, they head back to Palm Springs. Grover heads back to @Camp Half-Blood that night while the next morning Meg and Apollo fly to the Bay Area to deliver Jason’s body to Camp Jupiter.

Tyrant's Tomb

When at Camp Jupiter, Apollo dreams of @Tarquin from the past being pestered by the Oracle of Cumae into buying the @Sibylline Books. He later dreams of the time he cursed her to never pass on due to rejecting his romantic advances.

When he goes to a bookstore in @New Rome, he finds prophecies are being tattooed onto @Tyson's skin by @Ella. This is what the Dark Prophecy meant by being "set to fire."

Soon after, Apollo dreams of @Commodus and Caligula discussing their plans to take Tyson and Ella.

A few days later he finds the Oracle's spirit in a jar held by Harpocrates. Both are imprisoned at Sutro Tower in the San Francisco Bay Area and bond over there shared disdain of Apollo. When the two agree to pass on, she forgives Apollo for cursing her, albeit to leave the mortal world with no grudges.

During the Battle of San Francisco Bay, Tarquin searches for Tyson and Ella and learns they are at @Temple Hill. However, Apollo is able to use a ceremony from the Sibylline Books to summon his sister Diana who arrives with the @Hunters of Artemis and kills Tarquin, saving Ella.

After the battle, Apollo visits Ella for his next prophecy, only to receive two lines and to learn that he must collect the rest of the lines as he goes.

Nero's Endgame

As Apollo and Meg make their way to @Nero's Tower, they get bits and pieces of the prophecy along the way. He and the others go to Nero's Tower to take out the emperor with assistance from Camp Half-Blood to take the emperor's fasces to strip Nero of his immortality.

After it is destroyed, Apollo makes his way to Delphi and fights the serpent. He manages to get some arrows into the serpent and drag into out of Delphi into the @Underworld. They are dragged down the @River Styx and end up hovering over Chaos. He grabs onto a ledge as @Python tries to drag him into chaos. Apollo manages to shake Python loose and the serpent plummet into Chaos. destroying him forever.

As the pair fight, Apollo slowly starts to regain his immortality. By the time he defeats his archnemesis, he is somewhere between god and human and he passes out, two weeks later he wakes up a god again. It is determined that the quest was successful and the destruction of Python has restored all of the Oracles. In addition, Apollo learns that if he had not destroyed Python, he would've begun to affect the @Sisters of Fate themselves.
