The dust of the defeated Minotaur settled in the dim air, a silent testament to the battle. Nico lay amidst the ruins, his chest heaving, having nearly accepted his end. Then, a shadow fell over him. Slowly, painfully, he lifted his head, his brown eyes widening as they locked onto a familiar silhouette standing above the debris. It couldn't be... could it?

Time seemed to suspend, the battlefield fading into background noise as recognition dawned on his pale face. It was you, the one who had saved him, now standing before him once more.
