CHAPTER SIXTEEN:

Take Up Your Arms

Kezia

I STARED AT Jasper as we sat on the ground of a room that didn’t really exist. He looked the same, but everything was different. Everything. My eyes watered.

“You’re a god,” I said to Jasper in a whisper.

His chest pumped as he watched me right back. “That’s what they said.”

“Do you even understand what that means? You’re . . . ” I went for him, and I put my hand over his chest. I felt his heart beating again, and it might have been the most amazing thing I had ever felt. “This is it,” I said. “You’re going to be like this forever. Look like this. Be strong. You won’t leave me again.”

Hades smiled. “This is beautiful and all, but I have to get back home now, which means you do too.”

My family and I all stood, clutching each other. Zander had Jasmine against his chest, and he pressed his lips to her hair. Then I saw Verin and Juniper, who looked relieved. It still needed to settle for me.

Hades grinned at his son. “I’m very happy this worked out for you. It would have been difficult to work something out with no approval from the morons upstairs.”

“Thank you,” Verin said to his father.

“You’re welcome. Now go kill Argus for me. Make it painful.”

The room flashed again, and I felt like I fell through the air. That couldn’t have been, because that sounded crazy. Then I landed hard with a grunt. I had been lined up with my family, and I felt grass on my back. I looked up at a blue sky, remembering it had been pouring last time we had been there.

The three of us rolled over, aiming our eyes on the cage I’d made. Nemo lifted his head, making a sad sound as my cage burned away to nothing. At the same time, our gods sat up gasping. Juniper’s hands went to her throat, and the other two did the same in succession. I whimpered quietly, thinking about how different damage to the same part of them had been their ends. But I didn’t want to think about that anymore. They’d become nearly unbreakable now.

We all got up, and Nemo dipped his head to Jasmine. She pet him, speaking quietly. Zander bolted from us and went right to her. He picked her up and held the girl to his chest again.

I hadn’t stopped crying, and I still didn’t when I found Jasper again. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, but it hadn’t been all that bad. I mostly panted, touching him all over.

“You get to live forever,” I said. “Like this. And our kids, they’ll all be immortal. Stronger than even me.” I laughed, and it sounded crazy. “Our kids are going to be stronger than me. I’ll be the weak one!” The concept sounded so strange, and I loved it.

“Is that exciting?” Jasper asked with a smile.

I jumped up and down. “Obviously! Oh! You’re so much stronger than me now. You could totally kick my ass if you wanted! I could die!”

He frowned.
