‘Hekate!’

I heard a familiar voice

shout my name across

the blinding darkness.

I was still falling,

it felt like it had been

years and years of this.

And still I heard my name,

as though the person calling me

were so close by.

Finally, a hand

grasped mine

and I was about to claw it

because I did not know

who it was

orwhatit was.

But suddenly,

it was like

a thousand stars burst alive

and the darkness

was chased out

by the light.

I Hit the Ground

I fell upon it

on my front

and banged my head,

every part of me aching.

But Styx’s hand dragged me

back to my feet

and she studied my head, frowning.
