The Godslingers Next Gen 3: Chapter 20

Lyre's POV
I looked at Josh.

Everyone looked at me in despair. Rose and Jessica were crying. Finn and Sabre looked disoriented.

"What?" I said. I knew it was cruel to feel no such emotion for the dying of a friend, but that's a, um.... Hades' kid attitude.

Jessica spoke in a croaky voice, "You could resurrect him."

"He's no kid of Hades." I replied.

"But Nadine is gone." Finn said. "That would be a good replacement for Josh's resurrection."

I hesitated. "Fine. But be warned. I can die of doing this."

Everybody chuckled, but I glared at them.

"Literally die." I growled.

They stopped laughing.

I walked over to where Josh lay. His face was awful, drained of life.

Like a memorized song inside my head, I began a hymn to Hades.

My friends watched in anticipation.

I finished the last words and pulled out my Stygian Iron sword. I held it above Josh's body. For a moment, Josh's body glowed in a blackish light. But it faded quickly.

"W-what happened?" Jessica asked me.

I gasped. My adrenaline was fading.

"Uhhh." I said, catching my breath.

"Uhhh...." Josh stirred and opened his eyes.

Everyone cheered and I fainted.
