Chapter 8 part 2
I knew I was the daughter of light, and I had slashed the Son of War’s eye. Now, I didn’t blind him
but it was a deep slice. He looked at me and charged with his fist. I looked at Ares who had vines
ready to choke him.
I knew there was one way to snap Cole out of this. I dropped my shield as Cole’s fist came in slow
motion.
“Dad... it’s not his fault.” I said softly. I closed my eyes as Cole punched my head Will all of his
strength.
Cole slammed Astraea as hard as he could. The second he touched her Ares’s spell wore off. It was
to late to stop. Cole looked around as his face pained him. He tapped his left eye and felt a sharp
pain. He looked as his hand was matted with blood. He looked at his knuckles that had some blood
too... but not his. He looked Ingrid him at the unconscious Astraea.
He ran to her and fell to his knees.
“Astraea?!?” He said softly.
His eyes started to tear up, and it pained him because his left eye lead salty tears onto his
deep slice. Her head was starting to bleed. He picked her head up slowly as more salty tears poured
down his face.
It didn’t take him wrong to realize... it was his fault.
He looked back at Are and pulled out his sword. The father and son still didn’t realize the vines still
wrapping around Ares.
“What are you going to do boy?! She’s dead.” Ares said laugh. Cole couldn’t say anything. His heart
wanted to die, but he wanted to kill. He looked at Ares and his grip tightened around his sword.
Ares started to laugh. “You should die with her boy!” He said as a spear appeared in his hand.
Cole looked up with his face matted in blood, and angry tears. “I don’t fear death. Death should fear
me.” He said coldly. He was going to protect her body from hard.
Suddenly ares flung into the air and then was getting choked by vines. Tyler appears with his eyes
glowing a bright green as his hands stretched out.
Cole saw an arrow barely miss Ares’s head. Cole turned to see Apollo. His was in a old Greek Tunic,
and his hair was down and to his shoulders. . His put his bow down and looked at Cole for a second
then Ares.
He walked over and grabbed the golden ring from his necklace from Ares. “Dionysus will be looking
for this.”
“Shut up—”
“I don’t think I will. Now scram before I tell father about, yet another betrayal.” Apollo said bitterly.
Ares nodded and Apollo let Tyler know he could release him from the vines. Apollo walked back over
and past Cole to Astraea.
“Is... is she dead?” Tyler asked softly.
Cole didn’t look up as he had no more tears left to cry. He was beyond tears.
“No son of Demeter. She’s in a small coma. Major concussion. Can I get some nectar?”
Apollo said looking at Cole. Tyler nodded and made a flower. Apollo grappled it and had Cole drink
the nectar.
Cole felt some relief from his face, but he couldn’t dare to even look at Astraea anymore.
“It’s not your fault boy. It’s that mo— Your not in Olympus Apollo... your around kids.” He said softly.
He tossed the ring to Tyler. “Take that back to camp. I’ll get you all a ride.” He said picking up
Astraea. Cole looked at her for a split second before turning his head away. Tyler patted his back.
“Bro.. it’s fine. Your back to normal, and she’s not dead.”
Cole turned and looked at Tyler bitterly. “I brought you to keep me from being controlled! I did that! I
DID THAT!”
“Cole it’s not your—”
“SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!” Cole yelled.
Tyler looked at Cole. It hit Tyler, that Cole had felt things for her. Tyler nodded and walked
away, but willing to get into fight.
Apollo looked at the broken Cole. His face was better, and was bit a half scab and scar over
his eyebrow to his cheek. A golden chariot speared with white pegasus’s. Apollo set Astraea on a
chair, and told the boys to make sure she doesn’t hit her head again.
Apollo looked again at Cole. “I... I forgive you.” He said softly with a smile. Cole looked up. He didn’t
respond but looked down again.
Two of parts of the prophecy were through. ‘The Daughter of Light will slice his eye,When she is on
the verge of death, the Son of War will mourn.’
