Wow, another one???
I'm surprised too.
Music is recommended, for extra sadness. (Don't play until I say so.)
Trigger warning: blood, death

It was a normal camp day. I was working in the infirmary with my siblings when Percy came running inside, screaming my name, a look of panic [at the disco] on his face. I remembered he had been on a quest with Nico for the past few days.
Nico, who was now laying in Percy's arms, bleeding out of several wounds over his whole body.
'NICO!' I cried out. I quickly gestured Percy to lay him down on the nearest bed.
'Get the band aids! Now!' I screamed at Percy. I was panicking [at the disco]. I could feel Nico's life energy leaking out of his body.
I quickly examined the wounds on his body. There were several cuts over his chest that looked like clawmarks. His whole face was bruised and he had a black eye. But that weren't the worst injuries.
On the exact place where his heart was, was an enormous hole. The skin was ripped apart, revealing the muscles underneath. Blood gushed out of it, soaking the remaining pieces of clothing. It was surprising that he was still alive.
[I don't know anything about medical shit, I apollogize - pun intended - for the incurrency]
I checked Nico's breath. It was barely there, I had to put my ear on his mouth to be able to hear it.
Meanwhile - it had only been a few seconds - Percy had come back with my medical kit. I ordered him to leave the room and wiped away the blood so I had a clear sight on the wounds.
I immediately saw that there was no way a few straps of bandage could help Nico. There was too much damage done to his body.
There was only one way.
I placed my hands on Nico's chest, careful so I wouldn't hurt him, but despite my efforts, he winced in pain.
'I'm sorry, Nico.' I whispered.
I could feel his will to live leak away with every drop of blood that fell of his body on the ground, the pain being so bad he passed out.
It was better that way. He wouldn't know what I was planning to do
I reached within myself and touched my life force
My skin started glowing a golden light, starting by my hands and quickly spreading through the rest of my body.
I sent all of it into Nico's body. Waves of light streamed via my hands into his body, weakening my own.
It wasn't enough.
I sent more power to him. The cuts were closing and the bruises on his face were fading. But the huge wound on his chest still looked the same.
I reached within myself once again and connected with my spirit. My spirit touched Nico's and they became one.
[Start playing song]
Memories flooded my mind.
Baking cookies with my mother.
Joking with Lou and Cecil.
Chatting with Kayla and Austin.
And then, Nico.
Cuddling in his cabin.
Walking through the strawberry fields, chatting and laughing.
Stargazing on the beach at night.
