Apollo, due to having a mortal mind, has no recollection of what transpired during the six months between The Blood of Olympus and The Hidden Oracle, and it is only known that his father Zeus went through with his threat to severely punish Apollo, and decides to do so by making Apollo mortal for the third time, but this time without any powers whatsoever.

Another one of his copies goes to the Waystation where he learns that the Hunters of Artemis and learns that their hunt for the Teumessian Fox is still fruitless. He learns that Leo is teaching homeless kids mechanic skills and that Calypso is a councilor at a mortal band camp. Georgina walks over to him and asks about the pipe cleaner doll she made for him, which he lost. When he asks for another one, she rejects the offer.Apollo has several loyal attendants, including the Nine Muses (some of which he fathered children with) and four golden Celedons, all of which accompany him in musical performances. The group arrives at camp and meet with Frank Zhang and Reyna Ramírez-Arellano. When he sees Reyna’s face, he remembers a warning Venus gave him to stay away from someone named Reyna and he realizes this is that Reyna. He is announced as the god Apollo and the camp is in disbelief. He sings a song about his situation, quest, and Jason's sacrifice. The praetors declare a state funeral and the complete Jason's dream by the weekend. After he and Meg are allowed to stay, he passes out. He dreams of Caligula and Commodus sailing to Camp Jupiter, saying they will reach it in a week. The dream then shifts to an underground chamber with a skeletal figure in it. He wakes up to learn from Meg that it has been a day and a half since he passed out. He sees construction at Temple Hill and learns that Jason’s funeral is that night. Frank flies into their room as a raven and takes human form when he lands. He says he can take them to Tyson and Ella to discuss the burning maze.

He wanted to quit the Scouts. His parents had forced him to join, saying it was every guy's duty to serve. Kit had signed up to make his folks happy but never bought into the Scout culture.
