As Blanca was explaining what was going on, Will had been scrounging around, trying to find all of his supplies.

The left side of her face had been badly burned, leaving the pale bone exposed, her leg was twisted at an unnatural angle and she was covered in blood. It seemed as if it had been seeping from every pore on her body. After bandaging her face, placing her leg in a splint, Will told some boys standing nearby to help carry her to the infirmary. All of the healers worked for endless hours, trying to save the young teen. When lunchtime came around, and Nico brought Blanca to visit, they were still at work, singing, and bandaging; force feeding her ambrosia and soaking Amber's wounds in nectar. Nico cautiously crept up to the bed with Blanca in tow and asked how the girl was doing./span/p
