Celeste P.O.V.
Celeste, you have to wake up. – Kara said. I groaned. What happened? -You passed out. We need to do the thing.
The thing? What thing? – I asked, trying to open my eyes. I could hear Markus fighting.
You know, the thing we practiced with Markus. The thing we can do. THE THING – she screamed.
Kara, calm down. What thing? – I said.
The thing with the fire. It’s a shield. We need to help Markus. Selene thinks we can stop Helios without killing him. – She said.
OK. I understand - I said, sitting up on the altar I was on. Markus and Helios were wrestling on the ground, the crystal dagger forgotten a bit away. I took some calming breathes and realized I wasn’t in pain anymore. I touched my stomach.
The pups are fine. I calmed your body and the contractions stopped. –
