LIBBYS' POV.
I feel the rain and snow stop.
The petals stop.
I notice a prone form on the ground.
A wave of nausea waves through me.
I leap down, and check his pulse.
His dragon, Pandora, growls.
Loki walks over to her, and wraps his tail around hers.
It must be the dragon way of holding hands.
I hear a faint groan, but Apollo makes no motion of getting up.
I feel a small spark of pain up my spine, towards my brain.
Then, I double over with the pain.
I clear my head.
That must've made him fall.
Pandora suddenly has blue eyes, and tears rolling over her cheeks.
I feel like I could cry, probably because of Lokis' conection to Pandora.
Scholars say it's twenty times stronger than a rider's to the dragon, and vice versa.
I look up, and the room is empty.
I bring up a ball of swirling petals, and set it on Apollo.
It sizzles, and disappears.
I love healing people.
I feel another shock.
I press my palms into the ground, balancing myself.
Then, it stops.
I can't get up, though.
Loki rushes over, and tries to help. He can't do anything, though.
Apollo stirs, but can't seem to stand.
Then in a swirl of black wind and black rose petals... a strong black wolf is in front of me.
A small nick is in his ear. A small line of a tone lighter hair runs down his spine.
He's also awake, and standing.
He smiles, and does a quick bow.
He whispers, his voice deep, but kind, "Thank you."
I look at him, and gape.
A scar runs down his cheek. He smiles, and walks to Pandora.
He walks up her spine, stradling the spikes.
I walk up Lokis' spine, and stand on his back.
Then, they walk out.
Cheers echoe off the walls as we emerge.
Then, a scared quiet chokes the laughs of relief.
The lethals and a few more bully packs approach us, and growl.
The leader cries, "So. Still think you can be here, Apollo?"
Apollo turns half wolf, half human.
He leaps down, growling. His claws are retractable, like a cat. His eyes are also cat eyes.
He whispers in his ear, "Yes. I do."
The leader seems insulted.
He growls, "You're wrong."
Apollos' tail begins to swish.
He looks down on the leader and snaps in a whisper, "No. You are, Robert."
SMACK!
Apollo seems insulted.
He walks back to Pandora, and leaps on in a single spring.
He turns Tiger, and rides Pandora away.
Then, suddenly.... his forms are flickering like a horrror movie tv.
