Something possessed me to draw a hc mom character for Aphelios and Alune....enjoy? Headcanon info under cut lol
Adelos was just another warrior devoted to Lunari cause, acting as patrol to look out for Solari that might attack them. She never married and got pregnant during a one-night stand (it gets lonely out there ok). No idea who the father is….mostly bc I didn't wanna design a dad
A seer took notice that the birth of her children might be during a Lunar Convergence, so she was promptly sent to the temple to be taken care by the Lunari religious leaders. She also was promoted to be a temple guardian just to keep her in the inner Lunari circle. When the twins were born, she did allow the leaders to raise them as the prophesied "children of destiny." Like most Lunari, she believed this was for the greater good of her people. Of course she still was allowed to visit them whenever she wished.
Unfortunately the Solari heard about this news, and perceived the twins as a threat. They sent assassins after to kill the fated children, but Adelos and her squad was able to intercept this…at the cost of her life. Adelos was given an honorable funeral and venerated, but her role as the mother of the twins were never disclosed to anyone outside of the Lunari religious leaders. Tragedy was too common among them, and it would merely be a distraction to the twins if they knew…
FYI, Adelos is just me adding an "A" to Delos, the island where Artemis and Apollo were born. Also in Greek it means "Invisible"…which is fitting bc she will never be remembered by her children :)
