Chapter 95

Julian’s POV

Slowly, the light crept into Julian’s senses, and it banished every trace of darkness in his being. He had thought he saw himself at the gates of Hades for a moment and thought he went in, but it turned out he didn’t go in. If he had gone in, there would not have been any light.

He couldn’t be in the life beyond; he wasn’t sure the moon goddess would let him in after what he had done-after playing into the hands of Doom and Mischief. The moon goddess was probably just as mad at him now as she was when he activated his curse.

So, this wasn’t the life beyond, and that meant he had somehow survived the attack he fell into last night. It was a huge relief, but it came with a lot of questions. His senses grew sharp, and he sat up, knowing where he was.

He was at Fiona’s home.

She had saved him.

She had sna tched him away from the gates of Hades and brought him back to life.

He pulled himself up

from the couch so he could sit down, and the covers he had over his body fell to his lap. He was naked from the waist up, and every one of his wounds had healed. He also felt a deep internal wholeness.

She healed him of the afflictions he suffered while attempting to seal up the dark world. He felt so much better than he had been in over a week.

She had done it for him-to save him and make him better. He did not want to think too deeply into it, but he couldn’t help it.

“You are up, good.” Fiona said from behind, and he turned around and found her holding a pair of clothes in her hands.

She moved closer to the couch he laid on and set the clothes down on it. “You are bigger than Peter, but these are the only male clothes we have in this house, so you will have to manage them. The guest bathroom is to the left, down through this passage. There is a new brush and toothpaste in there, so you can clean yourself up, change, and take your leave.” She said that and turned away from him.
