Pain coursed through my whole body but I couldn't give up. I had to give back what was taken.
My mind was blocked from Rasal's. Though he stood beside me. I realized that he was hissing a prayer, his eyes were yellow-green. Hydra grew stronger but I had to tame it, it's Stars moved like the three heads of a hydra. I closed my eyes and imagined the representors of both Constellations dotted out in the Stars. Hydra as the serpent it was and Ophiuchus as a man grasping that serpent.
One Star at a time I took the Celestial Energy from Hydra and it started going to it's true Constellation. Most of it radiated in the sky, and it's not like we'd get the Constellation's descendants back. But what I could do was restore its energy back and not let Hydra win.
Spots danced in front of my eyes as three of the Stars in Hydra blazed, sizzling in the sky. Celestial Energy flowing from it.
Hydra's and Ophiuchus' Sign burned on both my hands. I was tempted to fall to the ground and pass out. Legs shaking, I stayed on my feet.
I counted how many Constellations I had given back. It was only two, still an achievement.
Spots danced in front of my eyes and my vision blurred. I let go of Hydra and slowly released Ophiuchus. Tristan rushed to my side, holding me and touching my face to see if I had been hurt.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." I back away, almost tripping.
"Not bad, Virgo," Phoenix said, smirking.
"Thank you," I mumbled, rubbing my temples.
"I'm proud of you," Tristan said. I smiled.
"I didn't really get that far." I shrugged.
"Well, Jaxon did take half of the Constellations so it's not going to happen overnight," Amara comforted.
I opened my mouth to say something but instead my Hydra Sign pierced my skin, sending spasms up both my arms.
I heard a new voice in my head, no, they were Rasal's thoughts. He was getting a message from another Star Spirit which transmitted into me.
He's punishing you for ruining his plan. It was Alastiar, Star Spirit of Hydra. He spoke through pain. He's threatening to take more now.
Rasal twisted and turned on the ground. His stones glowing in different colors. Anthony and Lewis hovered over him as Amara and Phoenix grabbed me.
"I'm fine," I repeated for the thousandth time. Still Tristan insisted that Anthony give me a checkup. I lay on the matress, staring at the tent as Amara sat beside me. Raelynn and Phoenix were trying to diffuse a feud between the twins, their bickering wasn't helping my headache.
Amara growled. "Can those two be quiet?"
Lyla screamed and made us all go deaf for a minute, Lyra started sobbing. Phoenix and Raelynn stepped into our side of the tent.
"I wish this curtain was soundproof," Raelynn complained, fiddling with the separation cloth.
"Why are they fighting?" I groaned.
"Basic sibling wars but..." Phoenix hesitated.
"But?" Tristan chided, arms crossed.
"But they're taking it way too far!" Phoenix finished.
"Lyla chopped off Lyra's hair and then Lyra got revenge by ripping her clothes. Now they're punching and kicking each other, Lyla has a black eye." Phoenix shook her head and sighed.
"You just need rest," Anthony told, lowering the stethoscope.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Tristan asked, leaning it.
