EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END AT SOME POINT. Pollux understood this, he knew how death could drive people mad. Why wouldn’t he? His father was the god of such things. And yet, when his dear twin brother died before his eyes… Pollux lost all sense. He watched helplessly as Castor was disarmed and stabbed. Pollux couldn’t get away from his own opponent to help him. He felt so useless, so helpless, in that second. Pollux screamed and screamed until his throat went raw. Those last minutes with him, cradling his head in his own lap, were burned into his mind.
POLLUX HAD FELT THE WAY HIS MIND SLIPPED, STUCK ON loop in that last moment shared. Thank the gods his father was currently helping him so he didn’t slip into deeper darkness. In fact, he gave him an idea that the camp could benefit from. Chiron and Dionysus both agreed if only in that moment to help Pollux heal.
WHICH LEAD HIM HERE IN THIS MOMENT. POLLUX EXITED THE infirmary where the injured were being treated. His violet eyes squinted against the sun as he scanned what he could see of the camp. As he did so, he spotted a familiar figure making their way across the camp’s path. Pollux felt himself go ridged. She helped with the shrouds, helped with Castor— he felt himself moving, almost enchanted to speak to her. When he was in hearing distance, the words spilled out, “ Is everything okay? Did something happen? Is Castor safe? ” @seraphicdeath
