Thalia Moon's POV

"Oh, Tally, are you okay?" I examined his wound, holding back tears. Hestia hovered nearby, not wanting to get close. I don't blame her.

"Fine." Tallis muttered through gritted teeth.

"Do something! With your earth powers and stuff." Lilly demanded. She looked close to tears.

I gritted my own teeth. Lilly seemed to take for granted that I was now the "Mother Earth" of the group. I'm not. I never asked for this. I'm the littlest. The youngest. I can't hold everyone on my back and bend to their wills.

But I do love Tally too, so I manage to construct a sturdy splint out of twigs and branches I've found.

"Thanks." he grunted.

Lilly flitted to his side. "Are you sure you're okay? Did Thalia do it right? Should I fix it? Can you stand?"

"I'm fine, honestly." Tallis muttered. "Thalia did it perfectly. I can stand."

With the help of Lilly, he managed to stand up and hobble around a bit. I tried to send all my healing power towards his foot. Even though I wasn't even sure that was part of my power, it drained me. My knees buckled and I landed awkwardly on the ground.

Hestia rushed to my aid, looking glad to have something to do. "Are you okay, Thalia?"

"I'm okay." I gasped. "I'm just... exhausted."

Tallis hobbled over. "Are you sure you're okay? You can barely talk."
