The Solace Twins (Nico Di Angelo Fanfiction)

Progress

You can do this. Just focus. Relaxing her breathing Skylar walked toward the leery Pegasus. A disgruntled whine comes from in front of her but no snapping teeth. So far so good. Aquamarine orbs meet bloodshot chocolate brown. "Easy now just stay seated. My brother and I are here to help. So if you'll allow us we'll take care of you." Every so often she inches closer to the horse's side. In turn the horse would try to move away only to fall back over in defeat. Skylar doesn't stop moving until she's right next to him. Once she's close enough her hand slowly approaches the horse's muzzle.

Surprisingly it inches closer to her hand, eyes closing at her warm touch. "That's a good boy you were just scared huh? You didn't want them to take you back to where you came from. Don't you worry we wouldn't let that happen." The blonde cooed sitting atop a pile of hay allowing the horse to rest his head on her lap. Will hesitantly makes his way over sitting beside the horse's limp wing. He would need to assess the damage first before attempting to heal or it could inhibit his flying capability.

"Skylar just keep talking to him I'm going to see if I can repair his wing. It's broken but I should be able to set it." He says placing his slender fingers lightly against the wing. On the count of three he pulls the bones together strapping the wing to a piece of wood lying around. The horse attempted to kick at him but Skylar diverted his attention back to her as she untangled twigs from his mane. Will smiled to himself the way his sister's eyes lit up as she conversed with the horse. He wiped dried blood from the pegasus's wing looking at his handiwork.

Together the Solace twins sing a hymn to their father their hands glowing brightly over different sections of the horse's body. Green mucus stopped pooling from his nostrils, the broken bones slowly mended back together and his bloodshot eyes began to clear going back to their beautiful chocolate brown. It would still take a day for the wing to fully heal. He still refused to get up opting to continue lying down instead making the pair wonder if all internal damage was fully healed. Will tosses her two apples from the basket. Skylar feeds both of the apples to their patient and fills an old trough with fresh water. Beams of light from the setting sun poured into the building. Without realizing it they managed to work through lunch and dinner was just around the corner. So much for a healthy diet of three meals a day.

"We should call it a day. I'm starving." He tells Skylar packing up the medical supplies and stuffing them in a corner for later. Both of them would return tomorrow to give the pegasus a proper bath, official stall and another round of healing. She hums in agreement nuzzling the creature's muzzle affectionately and departing with her twin to the mess hall.

"I'm surprised he let me near him today. Just yesterday he wanted nothing more than to dent my skull." Skylar speaks taming her curly hair into a ponytail to look somewhat presentable. Her nose scrunches after getting a whiff of her shirt. She smelt like the inside of a barn. If she left to shower dinner would be over by the time she returned. I'll deal with it I guess. It's not like Will smells any better. The twins had been at the stables since early this morning only leaving long enough for a quick breakfast. Will smiles knowingly beside her draping an arm around her shoulders.

"Maybe he finally came to his senses? Finally saw that we were there to help." He squeezes her shoulder. In truth he scolded the pegasus when she fell unconscious. Not that she needed to know that. His sister nodded in agreement waving at a group of campers. They pause their conversation long enough to wave in return before going back to talking. Skylar sighed to herself her fingers subconsciously grasping the necklace around her neck. She missed her friends. Sure the daughter of Apollo got along with most campers but they weren't her best buds. None of them knew her true favorite color or the real reason she preferred to play the lyre over any other instrument. The only people that came close were her siblings and Nico Di Angelo. Speaking of Nico, she hasn't seen the boy since last night at the bonfire. Oh come on Skylar he's allowed to make friends.
