Zoë's POV
'They say life flashes before your eyes just before you die, that's right it's called life', that quote played though my head as I lay in the silver chariot the stars shone so bright as if welcoming me to the afterlife. An iron taste filled my mouth as my spirit slipped away.
"Stars", I whispered saying my thoughts as I exhaled what was close to my final breath "I can see the stars again m'lady".
Artemis replied something but the world was swimming, I couldn't hear what she said my thoughts drifted as I fell deep into thoughts thinking of all the what if's in my life. What if I never accepted Artemis' offer, what if Hercules treated me as he promised, what if I never became a huntress, what if this weren't my final moments.
"Stars", I whispered once again trying to tether myself to reality trying to cling onto the last ounce of life I had left.
What will become of my hunters? Suddenly I felt ashamed for leaving them, and disappointed in myself, Aphrodite, the world for not letting me experience a true love, something I wanted but hid from in fear.
While I lay there dying I realised more about myself, more about the what ifs, the maybe I should have, then ever before and I wonder that if I had thought of these earlier, would my life feel more fulfilled, would I leave in peace.
Why now? I thought, my hunters will march to war without me. Then my world spiralled into darkness and my life ceased to exist.
