Terry had woken up after the battle. His memory was a little fuzzy. Everything came back slowly, which shouldn't happen for a son of Minerva. He blinked his gray eyes in surprise to find bars in front of his face.
Then he remembered. The son of Gaea torturing Colton. Terry attacking him. Fighting. The ground opening up beneath him. Grabbing the edge and holding onto Colton. Colton making him release his grip to fall below into nothingness. Terry being able to climb up again.
Colton! That kid made him mad. Terry had been trying to save him! But instead, that kid had let himself fall so Terry could climb up. Then Terry remembered. He had fallen too...what was going on? Wasn't he dead?
Terry began to take in his surroundings, surprised to find himself in the ruins of the Wolf house. He couldn't walk. He was...well...dangling. A iron rope was wrapped around his wrists, securely knotted. He hung, arms above his head, from the top of an earthen cage. He swung a few times, trying to kick at the bars of the cage, but it was too far.
Something caught his eye. Colton was hanging in a cage next to him. Terry winced at the sight of the kid. He looked pale and weak. His bloodied back had not been treated. He almost looked...dead. "Colton!"

Colton had been falling. He had closed his eyes, when a whisper filled his ears. His name echoed. Colton opened his eyes, and for the first time, he saw his father. Only Thanatos's children could see him. He was gone in a flash. But, Colton felt like he was alone all of a sudden, like he was drowning in despair. Colton had been afraid. He had seen his dad, and he had been afraid. How ironic. He, of all people....
No, now something else was calling his name. His eyes opened a small crack, and a blinding light attacked his eyes. He blinked slowly, dizzy and weak. The voice was calling his name. "Colton! Colton..."
Colton jerked upright, remembering everything in a flash. His back throbbed once and pain and he winced. He was in a battle, and he had fallen into an abyss...wasn't he dead? He found himself hanging from his wrists by a steel role that bound him from the top of a cage. What in the world? His breathing was shallow, as if he was out of energy. Which he was. He had lost a large amount of blood, and obviously they had no intention to treat his wounds because he was still in his blood stained clothes from the battle. He looked over, finding the source of the voice to be Terry. The son of Minerva looked relieved.

"Colton!" Terry let out a small breath of relief. He didn't know he would ever be so glad to see his bright blue eyes. In his weakened state, their shocking glare had seemed to dull. It made Terry angrey that they hadn't at least given him a bandage.
"I thought you were dead." He said with a relieved sigh. He smiled his bright smile. "Hold on, I'll see if I can get us out of here..."
A bright silver aura flamed to life around him. A bladed form of the aura gathered at his fingertip. He brought the bladed aura back and forth against the rope, only to make a high-pitched screeching sound. He winced and the sound, and realized there wasn't even a dent in this rope. What the hell was it made of? Terry cursed, letting his silver aura wink out. He let out a small sigh, trying to think of another way to escape. He was the son of Minerva...

Coltont's mind was giddy from weakness. He watched Terry uncomprehendly. He said he thought he was dead? He had thought the same. And he felt like he wasn't going to pull through. He really felt like sleeping...but if he did, he knew he wasn't going to wake up.
Colton managed a smile at Terry's failure. "Well, I guess there's nothing we can do..."

"Not giving up." Terry protested in a reply. He looked around for any options, but they were pretty much out of them. Wasn't he supposed to think of the escape plans? Their situation seemed truly helpless. He looked over at Colton, who looked really worn out. He couldn't blame him because he was still heavily injured. Terry felt really guilty for asking, but... "You got any powers, Colton?"

Colton looked over at Terry. His usually sharp blue eyes were dulled with exhaustion and pain. He noticed the determined will in Terry's eyes. He really wanted to get out. "If it really comes to it, I'll use my powers, only for a last resort though. It will probably kill me."
Colton knew that this power took too much energy from him. It would make him pass out for a month. And he could only use it to free one person. That had to be Terry. If he freed himself, he wouldn't get far. So Colton closed his eyes, wondering how he had changed so much. He had gone from a loner to helping the camps and sacrificing much. Now he knew why. They cared for him. They were willing to help him. You could say he had friends. But he liked the word ally better. For the first time, he had allies worth sacrificing for.

"Oh, I understand. Don't ever use your powers then." Terry told Colton. He didn't want anything to happen to him. "I guess there's really nothing we can do."
