Xylo's Pov

—————————

The entire camp was obliterated. Destroyed. It was a disaster. Ever since the evil four had torn apart the seal protecting the camp from evil, everything had gone terribly. Half the people in camp had either run away, or died. It was carnage.

The evil version of Inpu, or as we called it, Bookpu, had wreaked havoc on the Egyptian part of camp. The evil version of Mitch was dominating Atlantis, while the evil version of Nad was terrorizing everybody. And in the middle of it all, was Bloodmoon. The evil version of Cal.

I couldn't do anything to help. All I could do was watch. My weapons were shattered, along with some of my bones. I could barely move. I knew Cal wouldn't be able to hold out much longer. Sure he was agile, but he couldn't fight. He was already hurt. I watched the two go back and forth fighting for 20 minutes. But I knew he wouldn't make it. There was no way.

Then, before I could blink again, a blade was up to Cal's neck. An adrenaline rush kicked in in a millisecond. Before I knew what I was doing, the blade hit my neck instead of Cal's. I had pushed him out of the way. Cal hit the ground, now soaked in my own blood.

I had sacrificed myself to save him. It was over for me. But at least Cal could still go on. His life didn't deserve to end. He had never done anything wrong, or with bad intent. I have. I killed dozens in battle. I was the son of Hades. I deserve it.

The last thing I saw, was an 18 year old, soaked in my blood. Lying on the ground, crying.

"I'm so sorry Cal..."
