Third persons pov

  After Sersi explained everything from talking to Arishem to lying about Olympia Y/N knew Ajak lied about everything. She lied to protect Arishem and herself.

Y/N let them sleep for the night since the next morning she would be leaving with them to get the one person she didn't expect to see so soon.

Druig.

She hadn't seen him since Ajak let them all go.

The next morning they all drove to where's he was.

The Amazons.

Once they got off the car and walked through the trees they saw a village full of people. Everyone was giving them weird looks.

"Buenas tardes (good afternoon) " A women said walking by Kingo and his cameraman.

"It's very nice here, sir." Kingos camera man look around smiling.

"Don't be fooled" Y/N and Kingo said at the same time.

"It's all just an act" Y/N said walking closer to Sersi.

"Ay , estamos buscando a Druig, ¿está aquí? (Hey we're looking for Druig. Is he here?" ) " Sprite went up to a man and asked him.

"¿Cómo sabes Druig? (How do you know druig?)" The man said.

Y/N pushed past sprite and told the man "cut the crap we need to talk"

Tha mans eyes turned glowed yellow and the doors to the house next door opened.

"Nice to see you again too"

...

"You've given me a lot of bad news in one go, my lady" Druig said to Sersi who
explained everything to him.

"Will you help us?" Sersi asked him.

"I am glad that-" Druig was cut off by Sersi's phone ringing.

Everyone looked at her as the song was playing from her phone.

"Hey what's your service? I'm not getting any bars." Kingo asked her.

Gilgamesh was slowly falling asleep. Y/N who was sitting next to him and Thena also was getting sleepy since the drive there they all kept fighting on where the amazing where so she couldn't get any sleep.

She slowly layed her head on Gilgamesh's as she too was falling asleep.

Thena lightly smacked Gilgamesh's arm so he would wake up. He jolted awake making Y/Ns head fall of his shoulder.

"Ow" She whispered.

"Sorry" Gilgamesh said pointing at Thena. Who was looking at Sersi.

"Do you all remember this forest? Beautiful. It was the last place we all lived together." Druig said walking in front of Y/N, Gilgamesh and Thena.

She kept avoiding eye contact. It's been centuries what would they even say to each other?

"I've protected these people for 20 generations now from the outside world and from themselves." He continued walking away.

He walked in front of Kingos cameraman and continued speaking.

"Your kinda. My friend, you will be responsible for your own extinction one day. Don't you think?" He asked him.

"I think we must learn from our mistakes and do better, Sir. You must not give up hope. " The camera man replied.

"Stop it your scaring him" Y/n said sitting next to the camera man. Who looked like he saw a ghost.

"Just don't film anything in here ok?" She asked him quietly.

The camera man nodded still looking at druig.

Druigs eyes glowed along with making the camera man's eyes glow.

Then the man threw the camera to the wall.

"Oh, no, you didn't. Okay, new rule, no more possessing people's valets." Kingo said to Druig walking up to him now standing face to him.

"Oh, where is your sense of humor, Kingo?" Druig said to him smiling lightly.

"I'm sorry, sir" The camera man said.

"Don't apologize" Y/N said getting up and grabbing the pieces of the camera.

"Yeah don't apologize. It's not your fault" Kingo said looking back at him.

"When we get home I'll fix it for you" She said to the camera man smiling at him passing the pieces and telling him to put it in his satchel.

Kingo looked back at Druig with an unclear expression on his face.

"You are not a god. You know that, right?" Kingo said to him furrowing his eyebrows.

"How ironic. Kingo, the movie star" Druig said to Kingo sarcastically.

"I've directed some things, too." Kingo corrected him.

"Oh, yeah? Like what?" Druig replied.

"Some internet content" Kingo replied back.

"How many views?"

"I don't do it for the views"

"Let's go. He's wasting our time." Ikaris said pushing himself off the wall and walking towards the door.

"Ikaris, I missed you. Are you gonna charm me or threaten me?" Druig walked up to Ikaris while he was walking up towards the door.

"I mean, there's a third option, if you prefer that." Ikaris said.

"It must be heartbreaking to find out that your not mothers favorite." Druig said to Ikaris.

I know this part is boring bare with me.

Y/N got up and walked back to the spot next to gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh chuckled lightly but was interrupted by Thena giving him a glare.

"5 bucks they fight each other" Y/n whispered into Gilgamesh's ear.

"10 bucks neither of them win" He whispered back.

"Deal" She shook his hand.

"And I'm sure she'd be real proud of what you've been up to" Ikaris gave a look to both Y/n and Druig.

"Druig, this is serious." Sersi stood up.

"I'll tell you what's serious. I've just been told I've been sent on a suicide mission for the past 7,000 years, and the my entire existence is a lie." He walked up to her.

"So, excuse me for not giving a shit about your plan right now." He said walking towards the door.

Y/n was about to say something but thought against it. There was nothing to say.

"Druig sucks" Kingo announced to them.

...

"So when did the healing start?" Gilgamesh asked Y/n who was zoning out as the sky turned dark.

"I told you, a couple weeks ago" She told him.

"And your not worried that it might be something?" Gilgamesh asked her.

"Why would I? It just means I now have the power to heal. I don't know how or why this happened" She replied before standing up and telling them she wanted to walk around for a little bit.

She started walking around looking past the trees.

How was she supposed to tell them their deaths caused her to grow stronger?

She couldn't.

She would just help them defeat the Deviants then never see any of them ever again.

Right?

...

Druig wanted to talk to Y/n she was avoiding him the whole day and so was he. They were avoiding each other but they both knew they needed to talk.

He was now in a white shirt with short sleeves. He asked around if any of them had seen her. The majority of them said they saw her heading towards the lake.

He started walking towards the lake but when he got there he didn't see anything.

"Y/N?" He called out but he didn't get a response.

"Y/N!-" he got cut off

"Shut up!" She whisper yelled at him.

Druig turned around and saw her hiding behind a tree "what are you doing?" He asked her as he got closer. " I'm listening in on Ikaris and Sersi" She said to him emotionless then turned back and looked at them from behind the tree.

Druig looked at her confused and asked "Why?."

"Because there's drama between them and I wanna know if this conversation is gonna end in "I still love you" or "I hate you" now shut up" She turned back around and looked back at them trying to listen in on their conversation.

"Don't you think we should talk" He stepped closer to her.

"There's nothing to talk about Druig we both went different ways it's over ok? now shut up" She turned back and tried to hear what Sersi was saying.

"I should have waited for you" He said.

"I should have too but we didn't look I moved on now you should too"  Y/N replied as she turned around to face him.

That was a lie. She truly never moved on but she wanted him to believe she did.

"That's a lie" Druig said as he slowly walked closer to her.

"You do know I can read minds right?" He paused right in front of her.

"I'm aware, so can I. so don't even try and say you want to think about helping us. You just wanted to talk to me in private. Next time just say it" Y/N chuckled and looked over her shoulder to see Sersi and Ikaris close to each other.

"Look can we just make amends, move on, we both wish we said and did different things." She told him.

"What like be friends?" He asked her with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yeah like friends remember you would say you would love for eternity no matter what Friends, lovers, anything" She truly just wanted to make amends with him and be on good terms. But truth is she didn't just wanna be friends. But how would they even began a relationship again after all these years.

"I meant it even if this whole thing ended with that stupid argument" He said.

"I know you did" She smiled.

She wanted to just say if they could start over again but she couldn't it's been centuries everything changed they both need to mov on.

Before Y/N could say anything else she heard a yall and looked to her side to see Ikaris getting thrown in the air by a Deviant.

She acted fast and ran straight for it she lifted her hands and tried her best to focus lifting the Deviant in the air.

After she deviant attacked her and drained some of her powers she didn't even know if she still had her full strength.

The Deviant slowly lifted into the air roaring in pain.

Y/Ns fist were clenched as the Deviant was in the air trying to claw at a tree.

Druig acted fast and knew Y/N could handle the deviant so he ran into the village to save the villagers.

Ikaris got back up and starting shooting lasers at the deviant

Sersi helped Ikaris try and defeat the Deviant

Y/N let go of the Deviant as she heard more screams from the village.

She looked back at Sersi.

"Go we can handle this one!" Sersi yelled.

Y/N nodded and ran back into the village.
