Save My Life[Apollo]

[Deleted]

Everyday the number of injured grew, and the number of fighting dwindled. She was so thankful to her grandfather Apollo for being with them, to have her medics with his blessing. Fewer lives were being lost this time around, and her mind never thought it was because of her leadership. She didn't realize it was because of the specially trained medics she put all over the fields, with the expert training against first cohort without weapons to defend themselves. They had the stamina to continue working all through the day, thanks to those two and three day long drills. No matter what their normal training was, Tessa gave them a taste of what it was like to be in first and second cohort. People like Ryan not only stepped up to the plate, but he excelled at it. She was proud of him, even if he had made a small excursion to the Titan's base camp before war started. What happened to Robin was the reason she always carried medical supplies on her. Now, in the midst of war, she carried more with her.

As Tessa struck another in the leg, knocking him out cold with her bow she saw arrows fly striking a single target. Nova Silverwood. With a jolt in her chest she rushed to the girl, the littlest legionnaire in her cohort. She let loose her own arrows as she made her way across the small gap between them, that the bodies of people still fighting filled making it difficult to move through. What she didn't catch with her own shield, it's face moved to catch instead. She took good care of it, and still the mechanisms worked. She'd lost it's special function for a few hours at the end of the second day, but that was it.

Her knees struck the ground as she slid to Nova's side, it had taken her longer than she'd have liked to get there. Her main hand was already in her medical kit, she shield arm was left free to knock away and defend this place. To defend herself and the girl under her, except when a set of arrows dug deep into her back. There was little she could do about that just yet. The arrows were deep, buried almost all the way through her small body. Someone with a heavy weapon came upon her, bearing down on her shield crumpling in one blow. She could feel her arm crack under the pressure of it, and struck out with an arrow. Piercing their eye and dropping them to the ground. Pain in her right arm she dropped her bow, and continued trying to get Nova in stable condition. The girl was scared and bleeding. She tried to smile, to reassure her as her arm throbbed the pain of a break finally coming up. Worse from her hyper sensitive nervous system. Considering where the arrows where, it would be best to push them through and bandage the girl up. She propped Nova up a bit and forced her broken arm to move. Cutting the back end of the arrows off before pushing them through and wrapping the wounds, putting gauze and pressure on them to keep them from bleeding badly.

She knew what was happening around her, though the quick one behind her even those trying to defend their centurion hadn't noticed. Daggers bit deep into her shoulders. Down into her heart. She had been stationary for perhaps a minute, not long at all. Battles happened too quickly. She could feel the tug as the assailant pulled his daggers from her and jumped back and away from the fighters. Tessa fell, her heart pumped a bit of blood through her wounds for a few more seconds before it stopped and she fell. Nova was safe under her, the pressure still on her wounds, and the line of skirmish was pushing forward. Overtaking Saturn's ranks little by little. Her last thoughts were hoping someone would Take Nova to the back line.


Mors

Mors lingered near by. Miss Yates would have died in this battle at some time. It was completely inevitable, but that was the eighth life she had saved from being taken to the underworld. When he said saved, he did not mean it idly. Not something that mortals can do often. Kyle and Jason had their own counts as well. He kept the number in mind always, and he would tell them when he claimed their soul. For now, he found someone else who was in need of guidance.

Nova Silverwood She had been fighting bravely for the last days, she was tired and hurt, but she kept fighting, for her camp, her father, the gods and her family, she couldn't become the weak link! so she kept fighting. until that day... that day she was fighting, throwing her chakrams and cutting as many spears and arrows she could, she had even killed one or two demigods, which she deeply regreted. but that day, a misguided son Mercury attacked her, he was stronger, faster and more experienced.  He throw his arrows against her, she was able to cut some of his arrows and also save the life of a fellow camper, but... it wasn't enough. She felt the first two arrows going through her flesh and then other two followed them, she yelled in pain and fell to the ground still holding her weapons, when the small body was already fallen, the son of Mercury shoot other two arrows and laughed. Nova felt how blood was filling her lungs and she was drowning. "Gods... please keep Ronan, Lance and Mrs Yates safe... don't let them die..." her last thought were to Lance, her brother Ronan and Tessa. Then she saw an angel over her and lost consciousness. *** @apollo1 War was something that no one would like to talk about or live through it. Well maybe Mars, Bellona and their kids, they live for that, but even them didn't like to see their kin suffer because of it. Apollo was more an artist, a lover, a laid back god as many of his mates would have told in the past, but he was also a warrior, he had born as a warrior and he would always be one. He was walking among the several corpses trying to save anyone that was there, but still alive. He had seen his old friend mors taken the soul of so many of them in those days. But it was his job and Apollo thank his friend to be there and show those young souls the right way to enjoy their afterlife. whenever he got there first, he healed the camper and called his grandson Kyle to take them to the back line. He knew that maybe after war Jupiter and Mors would scold him, but he was also saving their children, so maybe they wouldn't be so upset at him. Suddenly he felt something as a acute anxiety, he knew it was a child of his who was in danger. So he ran to that point of paint and found his granddaughter Tessa, she was covering the body of a small girl with her body but she was deeply injured. "Tessa, fight in there my child... I won't leave you." He knelt besides her and put his hand on her chest. he could feel how her heart had just stopped and there on the distance he saw a shadow, he lifted his eyes and saw his old friend there. The pale god was taking the soul of another camper and his couterpart's soul too. "Mors... my old friend, I know it is your duty, but... there is still life inside her, let me save my kin. She had saved so many, she deserves to live and you know that. She is not just a chick on a beach... she is my flesh and blood."  He thought as his powers healed her heart and with a goddly jolt it started beating once more.

She became aware of the fact she wasn't breathing, that she couldn't feel the heart pounding in her chest from the battle. The pain still coursed through her, she couldn't help but think death wasn't what she expected. After hearing Lilith and Gunnar speak of their grandfather she had thought it would be a bit more gentle, not wracked with pain. Her soul was struggling against her dead body, still feeling the pain of life, of her physical form. Still she couldn't see, or hear anything around her. She wasn't sure how long she felt like that, trapped in nothing. Shouldn't she see Mors? Or perhaps Mercury? Someone to usher her to the underworld? Even trying to get up herself and make her way there she was unable to. The few short moments she was like that seemed to stretch for much longer, and slowly the pain started to fade away.

With a jolt Tessa's lungs filled with fresh air, and her heart again thumping heard in her chest. She coughed as her body spasmed jolting her muscles into movement again as blood began to flow. It was painful as her body forced the blood to start moving again, blood began to pour again from her open wounds. Her heart had been healed, but everything else was still torn and broken. The muscle contractions making the break in her arm hurt more as she curls to get up. To get back on her feet and fight. Looking at the one who saved her she could hardly believe her eyes. “Lord Apollo?” she questioned a bit out of breath. Her body still waking up from the state of death it had been in.

She picked up her bow, blood trickling down her arms from the wounds in both shoulders, down her back from the arrows that still lay in her flesh. “Please Lord Apollo, take Nova to the back lines.” The shield on her broken arm was a normal buckler now, and it would be difficult to draw her bow with a broken arm. She had her sword at her side, she would have to sling her bow over her shoulder as soon as she got herself patched up well enough.

The god looked at the body of his granddaughter, waiting and hoping that she would open her eyes soon. He had broken so many laws in that moment, but... his friend Mercury would say that rules are to be broken, and in that moment he couldn't be less right. He looked around and saw that Mors had left with the soul of that other camper.  He smiled and then looked at Tessa again, her usually pale skin got again a slight tone of pink as the blood started running again through her vascular system. Then she opened her eyes and Apollo smiled at her, he was so happy to see her alive. She looked at him and seemed so surprised to see him there. In a way he got hurt, but in other hand she was right, usually gods never interfere in the lives of their kin. "Yes Tessa, it is me." he said and then she got up to go and fight again. He admired her strength and how much she wanted to keep serving Rome and the people in it. But what he had done, wouldn't be possible to be done again, so he needed her to stop fighting in that moment. He got up and put his arm on her shoulder and shook his head slowly. "No Tessa, you must go to the infirmary." he said as he looked at the other girl, the little daughter of Vulcan. She was also in a very bad state, and if she didn't go to the infirmary in the next minutes he would see Mors there again, this time for both girls. "I only healed part of you, the rest of your body is still wounded and bleeding." Tag: Tessa Word: 285 Notes: Apollo is amased, but with a huge face palm.

Save My Life

She knew she was wounded, bleeding. It was strange to her she hadn't bleed more onto the ground, that she wasn't yet dizzy from blood loss. She should have been, even if she were bleeding on the ground for a few moments before Lord Apollo came to her aid. At the moment she had no time to question it, there was still fighting, still a war going on around them. A strange bestial cry came from behind enemy lines, and over everyone, all the fighting, she could see the minotaur. By itself it was a powerful creature, but it held a morning star. Wicked twisting spikes on a metal ball the size of her head, mounted upon a long metal shaft. He wielded it with both hands instead of only one, and cleared ally and enemy in it's powerful blows. "Please, Lord Apollo. I can distract them for a moment while you take her to the medical tents." She moved quickly as the monsters fought, and the minotaur advances through anyone who was in his way. Only a bit of gauze and some ducktape, a quick fix to the blood her shoulders where pumping out. "I'll be fine, but I need you to listen to me. Take care of Nova first."

Tessa drew her sword and sliced through the wood of the arrows still lodged in her back, and she moved forward. She hardly listened to anything Apollo said, stubborn and hard headed as she was. Though now the rushing sound came to her ears. Making all other wounds low, drowned out. The war cries of other, the curses that people screamed over the fighting. The clashing of swords. Her blood was low, but she was fine. She'd be able to do something. Anything. The minotaur roared at her as she came upon it. No monsters where at it's side, he was too bestial. Too willing to kill an ally if they were in his way.

Tessa wasn't as fast as a child of Mercury, but she was faster than this brute with a morning star. She ducked under his swing, prepared to launch an attack under his rib cage into his heart or lungs. She hadn't accounted for the wind that came off of his swing, and her lowered ability to balance properly. Just the force of the air coming off his attack pulled on her shield, causing pain to her arm. She struck him, but it was low and poorly done. She hated herself in that moment, but pulled back so the creature might not strike her while her blade was in his side. Daggers struck the creature, it screamed as one dug itself into the bull's eye. Tessa smiled and shouted "Nice job" though for some reason she couldn't hear herself. Her gladius was ready as she thrust another attack, but this time her vision went dark. She felt her blade meet flesh, but her sight and her hearing were gone. The all to familiar feeling she had just before she fainted in the last war.

Pain jolted her side, piecing crushing pain as the creatures swing glanced her small frame. She had thankfully moved away once she realized what was happening, it kept her from getting the full force of the blow. Still the spikes pieced her, and the heavy weight of it crumpled bones. She couldn't hear it, but she felt it. Her vision sparked to life a moment from the shear pain. Sounds of battle loud and screaming. Someone screaming painfully, someone that wasn't her. That was when she saw the arrows, piercing the creatures shoulder. Throwing it's swing off point. She stumbled back, her broken ribs painful and shifting with every step she took. She hurt. She just wanted to go to sleep.

How stupid could be the human beings? some of them had the blessing and curse of self sacrifice, which usually led their ways to Elysium and that made them deserve it! Apollo was glad that they did it! but when it was for the right reasons, when there was no other option to get out of a problem or situation, then self sacrifice was totally allowed and understood! But when they had the chance to live, to continue and help others in life, then self sacrifice was useless, was foolish! was more showing off than real sacrifice! Something that apollo had seen in his granddaughter's eyes, was precisely that! She wanted to help others, YES! in fact she had a good soul, she was a good medic and a good friend too, But she wanted more, she wanted to be recognized more, to be remembered, to be known as the one who worked more, the more useful and in that moment the one who made the ultimate sacrifice for an innocent. Well that was very good if you didn't consider that she had the option to live and fight another day... "to look up for..." he frowned and looked down at the body of the girl, Tessa had done an excellent job on her, still if she didn't get to the infirmary soon, the girl would die, he could feel that in that moment, but... why did Tessa didn't want to be saved too?! She was a bright medic, so she knew her body had passed the limits, and she was going to die any moment in the next few minutes if she didn't get the right medical help. She fought well, that minotaur was no one against her and Apollo felt proud of her, but... He also felt sad and upset at her, she was wasting her life when she didn't really need to. He held an arrow at his ow and then threw it, it got the minotaur's shoulder, Tessa was in the way of the heart of the beast. Apollo got up and looked at the girl at his feet, he lifted in arms and felt it, the girl was 100% condamned to spend the rest of her life on a wheel chair... "you saved their lives with your gift..." he put his hand on her back and then sighed. Her back got back to a point where she could wak again but only with a 5% of possibility, enough thought if demigods were about to help her. Then he popped away and left her on a stretcher in the infirmary. "Lilith..." he said as the Legacy of Mors ran to check on the kid. then he went back to where he had left Tessa, she was there, but she wasn't at the same time, her body was giving in, how could someone waste the gift of life in such selfish way?! He used his bow and arrows to kill some Kelpies running against them. "Stop now... you need medical attention and you'll get it now... do you understand?" He told her as he put his hand on her shoulder. His voice was firm, strong... and also a bit of the power of the god felt in it. Tag: @tessa Word: 514 Notes: Sorry, he is mad at her.

Save My Life

Sleep sounded wonderful right now. Had she distracted the minotaur long enough? Had Lord Apollo gotten Nova away? She wasn't sure, but she knew this was it. Her body was giving out on her, and she wasn't going to be able to make it much longer without medical attention herself. She didn't want to leave if she could still help though. Didn't want to leave the people she was supposed to protect. Her vision flickered in and out from her blood loss, her hearing fell from a low murmur to nothing at all. She was of no use, but she didn't know where she could go. Only that she could back away from the fighting, which she did. Slow deliberate steps, though shaky from her pain and lack of blood. The burning pain was all she had now. Her side aching with every step, her chest throbbing with every beat of her heart. A slow heart beat as it tried hard to continue to pump what little blood she still had in her veins.

A steadying hand was on her shoulder, looking up at the god she blinked. The bright yellow of his hair, his white teeth. She recognized them, though she say nothing bust shadows behind the darkness that had covered her eyes. “Grandpa....” she whispered softly, her legs giving out a bit as she fell against him. The burning sensation that shot through her side made her let out a low pitiful sound. “Please...don't let anyone die.....” her body had given up on the stubborn girl, ignoring anything signals she might have sent to keep fighting. Instead trying to recover, to stay alive. Sleep was so close if she would simply let herself do so, but she knew it was better to try and stay awake. As a medic if someone was unconscious you took it as a life threatening situation, she was fine. “My body...won't move anymore....if I don't get away....I...might get someone hurt....” She couldn't even hear herself. She only spoke softly, she couldn't muster enough energy to speak louder if she wanted right now.
