The Ancient Prophecy

40 : Wounds and bandages - Phedora / Charis

Phedora

"He's falling !" Charis yelled as they were fighting the last bit of monsters on the bridge .
Phedora looked into the sky to see Petros falling , the harpy that grabbed him now plunging into the abyss with an arrow through its chest .
In a moment of impulsiveness , Phedora closed her eyes , raising her left fist in the air slightly . She concentrated on the wind current .
Phedora felt a little tickle on her fingers , the same feeling she had when she used a healing lotion on a small wound . The tickle passed through her whole body slowly .
When she opened her eyes , Phedora saw the son of Hecate floating to the other side of the chasm . She sighed with relief . Thank the Gods ..
Before she could return to the battle , Phedora felt something heavy hitting her head forcefully . Then she felt a sharp pain . Then everything went black around her .

Charis

Stupid fucking cyclops with his stupid fucking bat ! , Charis thought as she aimed an arrow to the monster's singular eye . The cyclops was the reason Phedora was now down on the invisible bridge , crimson blood dripping from her head .
After the cyclops rolled down from the bridge , Charis ran to Phedora . As she ran , Charis could hear Sot slashing at the remaining monsters with his daggers .
Charis placed her arms under Phedora's legs and back , lifting her up from the ground . She's kinda heavy , the girl thought as she ran again , this time carrying Phedora in her arms .
Just as she managed to get near Sot again , the son of Hermes defeated the last bit of monsters .
"Good job , now let's get off this bridge before my sanity is gone ." Charis said with a sarcastic smile .
Sot turned his head to her voice . His eyes widened when he saw Phedora "What happened ?" he asked , Charis hearing the tension in his voice .
"A cyclops and a bat ."
"Oh.."
"Yeah , let's get moving , if Petros stays separated from us for longer maybe we'll lose him ."
Sot frowned at the mention of the demigod's name . Well damn , but I have more important things to do than get involved in this drama right now , Charis thought as she speeded past Sot then finally off the invisible bridge .
The son of Hermes quickly got off the bridge too .
Charis placed Phedora next to Petros . Sot appeared at her back "Are they okay ?"
"What do you think ?" Charis said as she grabbed some bandages and a little water bottle from her backpack .
She proceeded to clean Petros' wounds from his shoulders and Phedora's head . Luckly none of them needed any stitching .
Charis grabbed a cloth from her backpack and pressed it on each of the demigods' wounds , hopefully stopping the bleeding .
"Can I help you with anything ?" Sot asked , visibly concerned .
"Get Petros' shirt off . I can't bandage his shoulders otherwise . Meanwhile I will take care of Phedora's injured head ." Charis said as she opened the roll of bandages .
Sot kneeled beside her and took care of Petros . Charis could somehow feel the uneasiness coming from her friend but decided to ignore it .
Charis circled Phedora's head with the white bandages , sealing it well after finishing . She checked for any other bad wounds .
When she was sure there were no other wounds , Charis moved on to Petros . Sot stood behind her , watching with interest .
Charis placed the bandages under Petros' arms , rolling it up to his shoulders . She rolled it like that until she was sure it saw secure and not too uncomfortable . Then she placed his purple shirt back on , slowly , making sure not to unseal the bandages .
Then Charis looked up at Sot "Do you have any bad wounds that you need professional help with ?" she asked , smirking slightly .
"I don't think so ." Sot responded .
"Great ." Charis sighed with relief as she put the bandages back in her bag .

Phedora

Where am I..? , Phedora thought as she slowly opened her eyes . She could see the black sky before her eyes .
Phedora tried to sit up but her head proceeded to spin again .
"Do not force yourself , you have to rest !" she heard Charis say .
"Great , she's awake ." Phedora heard Sot say .
Her vision was too blurry to see any of them .
After some seconds , her vision cleared .
Then she heard a familiar voice beside her ,"You saved me , didn't you ?"
Phedora turned her head to see Petros looking at her with curiosity "I just made you float until here , it was nothing ." she smiled .
"Thank you ." Petros responded .
"No problem ."
Then Phedora felt something on her head . She raised a hand and felt the texture of a bandage .
"Luckly it was not that worse for me to stitch you ." Charis said as she walked to her .
"Well that is great ."
