Tony's POV

With a jolt, I'm awake. Aster's asleep, arms wrapped around me and I feel safe and nice and wonderful, and kind of scared. I know who I am and what happened and, strangely enough, what's going on. I went mental. With the weakness I have its a wonder I'm praetor, but if Aster was praetor with anyone else nothing would ever get done probably. Aster was forced into role of Praetor. She can do it well when she needs it, but when she doesn't...

I realize I'm in the infirmary. This disturbs me because I'm perfectly fine... Now. Except when I move. Ouch... A healer comes with medicine made out of unicorn horn shavings and rubs it over my cuts and I feel better, but I have to wake Aster up. We need to talk. I'm okay now. I'm sane. And I'm forgiving her. That was a choice I made before my sanity was restored, and I know it was a good one. Aster deserves to be forgiven. She left camp to get rid of my curse. She came to find me when I ran away and has been here this whole time.

"Aster... Wake up..." I whisper. She stirs, then realizes who's talking.

"Tony! You're okay! You had me so worried how DARE you run away like that... I should put you on probatio!"

"But you won't. Because's you're too glad to see me." I tease, then turn serious.

"Aster, I'm sorry I ran away. I was a mad at you, it was stupid. Please forgive me. Thank you SO much for what you did. So much." She smiles at me.

"You're my best friend you moron. Who else would I go to Olympus for? of course I'll forgive you."

"I thought that I'd always have to live with my curse. I thought that it would just get worse, I don't know..."

"What?"

"If I even have that anymore. Whose to say that I'm ever going to have a vision again? I don't know how to feel about that, sad or elated."

"You think too much." She tells me, smiling at me, but I can tell how sad she's been. I don't want to make her sad ever again. I hate making her said. She is everything to me. I smile back, hoping to cheer her up. It works. I think...

Put ME on probatio for not updating in forever! I'm so stupid!
