Pipers eyes were closed and she was bracing for the impact of the arrow when they faded into the shadows. When they re-solidified in the centre of the throne room Piper was surprised to find that she was in no pain and was lacking an arrow stuck in her chest. When she opened her eyes she found Pollux stood in front of her with a small pained smile on his face. Piper was puzzled for a moment until she realised why he was stood there with pain clearly showing on his normally schooled features, when Pollux had jumped in front of Piper he had taken the arrow for her. At this horrifying revelation Piper gasped in horror and drew the attention of everyone in the room towards her and the currently impaled demi-god in front of her. Pollux smiled again and with shaking hands he signed to her, Worth the pain, before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and his knees buckled. Piper caught him just as he touched the ground.
"WILL!" Piper screamed as she lowered Pollux to lay on his side on the floor. Will, Percy, Annabeth and the gods rushed over to Piper, when Will caught sight of Pollux he immediately set to work on removing the arrow as painlessly as possible. But Will was still exhausted from healing most of the demi-gods, so he was unable to heal Pollux fully. With Pollux almost healed Will began wrapping the wound in bandages that had previously dipped in nectar, to speed up the demi-gods recovery. Whilst Will was attending to Pollux's injuries Apollo and Athena were trying to calm Dionysus, as the sight of his only remaining Greek child laid on the floor mortally wounded, shredded the gods heart.
"Pollux!" Dionysus cried. The mighty god fell to his knees in agony.
A/N: Sorry guys I really shouldn't have had made a promise I couldn't keep but I didn't swear it on the river Styx so I will just have to make up for it with the quality of the plot within the next few chapters. Again I own nothing in this chappie except the plot line. Byes...
