Chapter Text
"Get up, you brat!" Zeus screamed at his daughter.
But there was no answer.
"You think you can escape if you just lie still!" Zeus screamed.
Still no answer.
He kicked Athena over onto her back and she rolled down the stairs to the floor of the arena. She still didn't move. No, Zeus thought, no!
"Athena?" Zeus asked kneeling down to touch his daughter's face. Despite her lightning scorched flesh she was cold. And she wasn't breathing.
"NOOO," Zeus said, checking her pulse and finding it absent, "NOOOOO!"
"Apollo!" Zeus shouted at his son in the stands, "FIX HER!"
As Apollo ran over Zeus cradled Athena in his arms
"You're okay, my girl," Zeus told his daughter, "You're okay. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Father . . " Apollo said after what seemed like an eternity, tears streaming down his face.
"DO SOMETHING! FIX HER!" Zeus screamed at his son.
"Dad," Apollo said looking at his father with a pain in his eyes that made Zeus's already broken heart break more, "Dad . . . she's gone."
