Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 16🌒

      Void Reaver gave a silent nod and instantly began his journey to the graveyard per Swordmaster's request. It was almost time for war, which just so happened to fall on the day in which it should be rising. It was dangerous for the current titans to be out alone, but the poor thing would be easy pickings if left unattended. Not to mention that other towers might get to it before them.

      Swordmaster had trust in Void Reaver to make sure everything was going okay. For now, he had a tower to talk to.

      Medic yawned as she stepped into the breakroom and snagged the coffee pot. Luckily, it still had hot coffee in it. Pouring it in her mug, Medic put her little bit of creamer and heart stopping amount of sugar in their before stirring it and slurping some up. Medic sighed in relief as she felt her spirits be lifted.

      It has been an early and long morning. Frost Spirit had came barging in like the camp was on fire at the crack of dawn with a tower close to death. The medics were able to stabilize him and get him to rest, but the tower would need quite a bit of rest until he could get up on his own.

      Medic learned that his name was Eclipse Scout, he was one of the hostages Commander had talked about. Frost Spirit didn't have much information about him, but Medic could safely assume that this must be one of the brothers.

      Right now he was resting with IVs and monitors strapped to him. The poor kid was dehydrated and starved. He should be feeling better in no time.

      That didn't stop Commander from ordering the medics to start getting their supplies sorted and readied for the upcoming ride to battle. The medics had to get out the battlefield equipment and get that ready. Then they to sort and box certain medical supplies such as medicines and bandages. Don't get her started on choosing which medics had to stay here and which ones would come with her.

      Being head medic meant that she was in charge of seeing, and even doing, all of that. Sometimes she wished she was still a nurse at the god forsaken clinic she used to work at before here. On second thought, these guys were as bad as the constant pool of smelly elderly people coming in.

      As Medic enjoyed her coffee, Bunny Medic's voice spoke through the intercom. "Head Medic is needed at the front desk, Head Medic at the frost desk," her voice shyly spoke through the speakers, her voice a bit crackily due to the system. Medic sighed and walked out with coffee in hand to the front desk.

      Medic assumed it was someone here to bug her with questions or supply runners here to have her look over supplies that have came in and to ask her where she wanted them to go. Never in her wildest dreams did she think it would be this specific titan.

      Swordmaster was waiting for Medic patiently at the front desk. Warden was eyeing the titan very carefully, making sure they didn't have another Frost Spirit incident.

      Bunny Medic was on her earpiece, chatting with someone about what supplies needed to go where and what trucks they were to go to, so she didn't do her usual greeting with Medic. Medic looked up at the titan, who perked up when he saw her.

      "Just the tower I wanted to see. How is the hostage tower doing?" Swordmaster asked. Medic felt all tingly at hearing that. She was always so obsessed with these grand beasts. "Eclipse Scout? He's stable, but he's asleep. He won't be awake for a while, so maybe you could try-"

      Medic was cut off as Swordmaster raised his hand and shook his head, "I do not wish to talk to him. I wish to talk to you. The Umbra has kidnapped those towers for a reason, I assume you know something about them. With all due respect, you are quite the knowledgeable tower."
