Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā EVERYONE Ā AND Ā EVERYTHING Ā COMES Ā TO Ā AN Ā END Ā AT Ā SOME Ā POINT. Ā Pollux Ā understood Ā this, Ā he Ā knew Ā how Ā death Ā could Ā drive Ā people Ā mad. Ā Why Ā wouldnāt Ā he? Ā His Ā father Ā was Ā the Ā god Ā of Ā such Ā things. Ā And Ā yet, Ā when Ā his Ā dear Ā twin Ā brother Ā died Ā before Ā his Ā eyesā¦ Ā Pollux Ā lost Ā all Ā sense. Ā He Ā watched Ā helplessly Ā as Ā Castor Ā was Ā disarmed Ā and Ā stabbed. Ā Pollux Ā couldnāt Ā get Ā away Ā from Ā his Ā own Ā opponent Ā to Ā help Ā him. Ā He Ā felt Ā so Ā useless, Ā so Ā helpless, Ā in Ā that Ā second. Ā Pollux Ā screamed Ā and Ā screamed Ā until Ā his Ā throat Ā went Ā raw. Ā Those Ā last Ā minutes Ā with Ā him, Ā cradling Ā his Ā head Ā in Ā his Ā own Ā lap, Ā were Ā burned Ā into Ā his Ā mind.Ā Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā POLLUX Ā HAD Ā FELT Ā THE Ā WAY Ā HIS Ā MIND Ā SLIPPED, Ā STUCK Ā ON Ā loop Ā in Ā that Ā last Ā moment Ā shared. Ā Thank Ā the Ā gods Ā his Ā father Ā was Ā currently Ā helping Ā him Ā so Ā he Ā didnāt Ā slip Ā into Ā deeper Ā darkness. Ā In Ā fact, Ā he Ā gave Ā him Ā an Ā idea Ā that Ā the Ā camp Ā could Ā benefit Ā from. Ā Chiron Ā and Ā Dionysus Ā both Ā agreed Ā if Ā only Ā in Ā that Ā moment Ā to Ā help Ā Pollux Ā heal.Ā Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā WHICH Ā LEAD Ā HIM Ā HERE Ā IN Ā THIS Ā MOMENT. Ā POLLUX Ā EXITED Ā THE Ā infirmaryĀ Ā where Ā the Ā injured Ā were Ā being Ā treated. Ā His Ā violet Ā eyes Ā squinted Ā against Ā the Ā sun Ā as Ā he Ā scanned Ā what Ā he Ā could Ā see Ā of Ā the Ā camp. Ā As Ā he Ā did Ā so, Ā he Ā spotted Ā a Ā familiar Ā figure Ā making Ā their Ā way Ā across Ā the Ā campās Ā path. Ā Pollux Ā felt Ā himself Ā go Ā ridged. Ā She Ā helped Ā with Ā the Ā shrouds, Ā helped Ā with Ā Castorā Ā he Ā felt Ā himself Ā moving, Ā almost Ā enchanted Ā to Ā speak Ā to Ā her. Ā When Ā he Ā was Ā in Ā hearing Ā distance, Ā the Ā words Ā spilled Ā out, Ā ā Ā Is Ā everything Ā okay? Ā Did Ā something Ā happen? Ā Is Ā Castor Ā safe? Ā ā @seraphicdeath
