Before she heard a reply, the mist faded. She hadn’t even realised Nicholas was on the ground next to Iria. The figure she’d questioned was Sebastian and it seemed he was using some sort of shadow power to stem Iria’s bleeding. As she looked around the room, even Adrian had arrived! 

“You need to be treated asap” said Nicholas to Iria. There was dust all over him and Alicia shook her head, realising the bear had been on top of him when it was slain. She went over to Nicholas and lifted his shirt before he could resist and examined the bruising.

“Broken ribs” she stated plainly, knowing Iria was in good hands so she could watch over Nicholas. “Hey, Michael!” she yelled over to the son of Apollo. “Want to come and give us a hand? They can’t walk back in this state.” She shook her head again, what a mess! “Not meaning to be rude Nicholas, but the mist caused a little too much chaos for my liking” she mentioned before adding “I appreciate the effort though”.
