Legacies: The Champion of Olympus

26- Back to Normal... Almost

"Hey Achilles." Olivia said sliding to Achilles unconscious body. "Wake up."

Tears started to well up in her eyes as she flipped Achilles body over onto his back. She flinched at the sight of the wounds that covered him from head to toe.

She placed her ear to his chest and got a faint heartbeat.

"Oh thanks the gods." She pleaded as Alaric and Landon were jogging through the lawn towards them.

"What happened?" Alaric asked.

"I'm not sure, he released this huge amount of power and we had one. Then he just passed out." Olivia said tearing up again.

"Come on. Let's get him inside." Alaric said as him and Landon lifted the young boy and carried him inside.

They brought him to a makeshift medical bed and laid him down. Witches immediately began using healing spells on him trying to close his wounds.

"The wounds are corrupted. Our magic can't close them." One of the witches spoke.

"Maybe I can help." Landon said pushing through.

Landon closed his eyes and concentrated. His hand began to glow a vibrant orange/ yellow color. He gently placed his hand on the wound which began to close.

"The Phoenix is pure, with it comes the power to heal or destroy." Alaric said in realization. "You've come along way with your powers."

Landon smiled as he finished closing up the wounds. The small ones healed completely but the larger ones left scars.

"He helped me." Landon said gesturing to Achilles limp body.

Alaric turned on Olivia. "Achilles will be okay." He said to her. "But I believe that you and I have much to discuss."

Olivia nodded and followed Dr. Saltzman out of the room.

***
Months passed with still no change in Achille's condition.

It only took a week before most of the students were healed and classes started back up once again.

Zeus returned returned to Salvatore about a week after the battle to collect Pandora's Box and take it to the Olympian Vault.

Olivia, with the help of Hope and Landon eventually became good friends with the rest of the game such as Rafael, MG, Kaleb, Lizzie, Penelope, and Josie.

Hope, Landon, and Olivia we're constantly researching on ways to wake Achilles from his coma.

A knock on the door sounded.

Hope jumped startled.

"Hope, you gotta get some sleep." Alaric's voice said from the entrance of the library.

"Not until I find a way to wake Achilles." She said stubbornly shaking her head.

"Achilles will wake when he is ready. Trust me. That's how comas work."

"And if he doesn't?"

Alaric sighed as he crossed the room and put a hand on her shoulder. "The kid bested the God of Death in battle. He'll wake up."

Dr. Saltzman yawned as he turned around and walked out of the library.

"Goodnight Dr." Hope said closing her book.

"Get some sleep Mikaelson."

Olivia strolled into breakfast the next morning looking rough. Not that it surprised the group. Ever since Achilles went into a coma five months ago she had been a wreck.

He was her best friend, and not only that it was obvious she thought of him more than that.

"Didn't sleep well?" Rafael asked her as she sat down.

She picked at her food.

"I never sleep well anymore." She complained sadly.

"What do you think he's seeing in there? Is it darkness? Or is he having nightmares, or living a dream? How do demigod comas work?" Lizzie asked rambling on, looking towards Olivia for answers.

Olivia shrugged. "Like I would know, I've never been in a coma." She turned to Landon and Hope. "Did you guys find anything?"

They both shook their heads.

"All I could find was that he'd wake up when he's ready." Hope said.

"My healing powers aren't working on his coma. I guess all we can do is stay positive and hope he'll wake up." Landon said.

"I just miss him, a lot." Olivia said looking down.

"We get it Liv." Josie said to her understandingly. "We all miss him."

"I'm going to go see him." Olivia said giving a small smile before she leaving.

She weaved through students as she made her way towards the stairs. She walked up the stairs and entered the first room on the right where Achilles room was.

It wasn't very decorated, it was clear he didn't come with a lot of personal belongings. The only thing that resembled him was his leather coat hanging on the chair in the corner and the picture of him and his mother on the nightstand.

She smiled at the sight of the pair together.

She had never known her mother, never had a close relationship with her. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose someone she was so close with.

She looked over at Achilles lying motionless in the bed.

Maybe she did.

She grabbed his hand and caressed it under her thumb as he shook a seat on the bed next to him.

A tear welled up in her eye.

"Hey, um, I know they say that you can hear me and I don't know how true that is or not but I'm just going to go ahead and talk anyway." Olivia said wiping a tear with her free hand. "I was a jerk to you, straight for the start, and then you were a jerk to me and I deserved it honestly. Then things got tough, we had to fight monsters, we had to fight a Gods dang Hydra together, travel to a Titan Temple together and it made me realize how much I appreciate you. I just miss you so much, and it really sucks being here without you."

She looked around for a minute and squeezed his hand. "I gotta get to class but Achilles, please wake up."

Olivia wiped her eyes as she stood up and walked towards the door. She took one last look at Achilles and smiled.

A sense of acceptance set upon her.

And after five months everything was back to normal... almost.
