Hi! Already Thx for reading this book everyone! I appreciate it and i would have never thought that even one person would read this! :) by the way, new chapter here! Hope you like it!

Will POV
First, when i started healing, i felt nothing weird. I noticed nothing like a  desease or something that was different. Well, it was still not completely okay, but that's just Nico.

Suddenly i felt some small type of feeling that i knew all to well: A disease. It was probably somewhere around his heart. Suddenly, my ears started ringing and with seconds passing, the heals i gave didn't seem to work. The only thing that happened, was that the feeling i felt, only became stronger. My hands started to hurt for transporting too much healing, but i kept trying. For Nico.

Even minutes later, it kept going worse and worse with Nico and me, i tried every type of healing, but with no effect. Except.... No. I can't do that. It has too much risks. If i die, what will my siblings do? Will they survive without me?! 'Come on Will, you need to do this,' I said to myself.

I had a plan. My last hope. My plan was this: i would try to use an old technique only for healing children of apollo. Only a few kids can do that, and i'm one of them. It maybe sounds like something very cool, and on one side, it is. But, you carry a big responsibility. Because, if you succeed with the technique, you use so much power, that it can be seen by everyone, also the gods. So Zeus would notice it to. And then... Who knows what kind of psychotic thing Zeus plans to kill me.

Lee thought me how to do the ritual. Yes, no one from my cabin can do it now, but Lee could. He thought me everything he knew about healing. From paracetamol to this technique. He always told me: "use it when you feel it, okay? Not too early and not to late, just at the right moment." I never understood what he meant, but now i do.

Sometimes, the job of a healer is not only to cure diseases, but also to help someone. Not just to use medicines, but use your heart, your compassion, your emotions, and if needed, your life. So im gonna do it. Give my life. For Nico. I'm gonna save him, and im gonna do it now!

And then i started. I started to sing the song that Lee thought me for this kind of special, how should i call it? Occasions? He told me the song was very old and was made by Asclepius, my half-brother and the god of medicine. It was a song that was secret for even the gods. (Except for Apollo.)

It was about the urge to help someone, when you couldn’t, realising that you wanted to say so much more things to that person, but it just isn't possible anymore. While singing, i started to feel the physical  pain that Nico had, and i tried to transfer it to me. My sight became fuzzy and my heart was aching a lot. 'It works!' I thought. 'Keep going!' I thought to myself.

Some later, when the last part of the song came, i had taken whole of the illness up in myself, and that meant: the last and hardest part was coming  up: getting the illness out. I sang harder, started glowing and was perfectly focusing on getting the illness out.

At the last note, i stood right up, and in one move, i pushed my hands in the air, and the disease slowly flowed out of my hands. It was like green smoke. It looked like prophecy smoke, but then a little lighter green, almost neon. After that, i fell barely concious to the ground with only one thing in mind:

I saved Nico.
