Light from Water: Chapter 13

Josh's P.O.V

The last thing I saw is a purple flash and everything blacked out.

Hippolyta's P.O.V

I was having my lunch when the people that are on the quest just came back from their quest. I saw Jaxon Reel and what I found surprising is that he is holding my friend, Josh McLean. He seemed to be unconscious.

I picked him up and held him, facing me. "Josh? Are you okay?"

Josh is pale, unmoving. He is not going to be any useful these time around.

I carried him with one hand to the infirmary. Once I got there, I saw an empty bunk just for him. I settled him there, and told the infirmary person to take care of Josh.

Once Josh is in good hands, Jaxon Reel was waiting outside.

"How's Josh McLean?" He asked.

I shook my head. "It looks like Josh had suffered from haggardness and he had already taken his nap by now. I know that he is still alive because I watched him and felt him breathing."

Jaxon's expression darkened. "He is the strongest person I ever knew... I can't believe that I had cost him so much of him."

I patted his head. "Hey, it's alright. He's a friend. A friend is supposed to help each other, right?"

"Right."

I walked back into the infirmary to see Josh had been taken care by Annabeth. It looks like the fates already changed their minds that they decided to spare Annabeth for a moment. I know this would happen because in my dreams, I had seen the fates appeared and talking about Annabeth being sacrificed under the weight of the sky.

But the fates seemed to give us the amnesty, but they had said that if we want to stop the tragedies from happening, we need to do what the fates had decreed.
