‘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.
