Chapter 8 - The God with a human heart(3)

Waking up to a sunlight on my eyes I looked around. Looking around i saw the white curtains typically found in hospitals. I could also feel the hospitals horrible mattress under me.

It was hard to breathe i felt like my head was about to split in two as well as my flesh specifically on my arms stinging.

Recalling back to the last thing i saw before passing out i remembered Hercules. And that fucking geezer Zues. If he hadn't thrown that shit at me i would have killed Hercules…. Well or atleast i believe i could have. I could feel my eyeballs spinning with rage. Suddenly aware of my mood i tried my best to calm down. Looking around I see Heewon sleeping on the couch in the room.

"..Hee-" i tried to call out but my dry throat made it a difficult challenge.

With lower tone i called out.

"Heewon…"

Heewons eyes slowly fluttered awake, as she streched she Looked at me her eyes widened for a moment before turning into rage.

"…Do you know how long you were out for? Kaelen Throne?" She said with a smile but i could feel her veins were about to pop. I could never get used to her being mad. It always sends a chill down my spine.

"…4hours?" I asked bit nervously.

"No. Not one not two not three BUT FOUR FUCKING DAYS!" Heewon screams out.

"Chill out.. we're in a hospital." I tried to calm her down.

"Hmph. Shut up im calm." She replied. But she still seemed pretty mad.

"Nevermind that... how did we not die?"

Heewon looked at me before flopping back down to the couch.

"We almost did. After you passed out i carried you on my back and ran to the warehouse. Zues tried to strike me but it somehow hit Hercule's club. Man those Stellarforges are amazing took a big blow from zues and didnt even crack."

Certainly i couldn't deny Stellarforges strenghts but taking a blow from zues and not cracking? Thats on another level. Or atleast so i think

"I wonder why Hecules saved us" i said looking at the window curtains blowing in the wind. The birds outside the window seemed to look at us curiously.

"I guess we just got lucky. Maybe he was trying to strike us and accidentally got hit by Zues."

That was a possibility but its really unlikely. But for now thats the only answer we have.

"I guess- but that doesn't exactly make sense I mean he definitely knew Zues wouldn't let us leave aliv-"

"Or so i thought until i did my research on Hercules." Heewon pulled out a book from her bag tossing it to me.

The book covered in an old leather cover titled "The god with a human heart.." i muttered to myself.

"Whats this for?" I asked looking at the leather cover.

"A book about Hercules's background. To summarize he is the son of Zues and a human you already knew that though. He grew up as powerful warrior yada yada twelve labors whatever" she explained with a bored expression already yawning.

"…you're really not good at explaning are you?"

Well she's not exactly a morning person I knew that.

"Shut up. Anyways the point is. Even though he is a god he still is human in his heart. That's probably why he saved us or so i think just a theory. Afterall he did do 12 labers to atone for killing his family then became a god to delay the wrath that was brough on his hometown."

Heewon said while putting the instant coffee into a cup and mixing it with hot water.

"Want some?" She asked looking at me

"Ill just have normal water."

…Hot coffee would destroy my throat anyways.

"Suit yourself" she said putting hot water into a cup then handing it to me.

"..why hot? My throat is already fucked enough as it is it's just gonna fuck it up more"

I asked her as i felt the heat of the water through the thin paper cup.

"It's not that hot, we're in a hospital food quality here is pretty shitty as well as its heating."

I take a sip of the water my throat already feeling much better, certainly it wasn't hot enough to burn my throat.

In anycase whatever the case may be im glad Hercules saved us. I thought to myself before getting interrupted by the footsteps outside the hospital room approaching my room.

The door flew open and a female figure around 6'3 with lean build bright green eyes with blone hair entered the room.

"….Capitan? Why are you here?" I said with surprised tone.

"What? Is checking up on my vice capitan a punishable crime now?" She replied slightly pouting.
