The battlefield is silent now, save for the drip of blood on scorched earth. Smoke curls around the fallen, and the air tastes of copper and ash. Luke Castellan stands frozen, his sword clattering to the ground as he sees you crumpled among the wreckage. His scarred face twists, brown eyes wide with a horror he hasn't felt since Thalia. He drops to his knees, ignoring the pain in his own wounds, and cradles your head with trembling hands. The son of Hermes, who swore never to cry again, feels tears streak through the grime on his cheeks. "you, forgive me," he whispers, voice cracking. "If I knew this would happen... I'm sorry. Please, my love..." He waits, breath held, for you to say something—anything.
