[That attack would have killed him, if it had been allowed to connect. There's no doubt in Giles' mind that he would be dead right now, should be dead right now...if not for Helios.]
H-Helios...
[He's so sorry. Giles is so, so sorry that he's making you feel this pain, because of him. Because he was captured, because he was hurt. Because this isn't a fight you can win alone, and he sees that now.
Most of all, he doesn't want to leave Helios like this. He wants to fix him and help him. Leaving him right now smacks of betrayal, when he owes Helios his life.
But he can't stand against a god. Not alone. And so...
...he won't dishonor his friend's efforts by making Helios watch him die. He owes him that. Giles can't run far, in his current state. But maybe he can get far enough.]
This isn't over.
[It's a threat for Apep, and a promise for Helios. Then, stumbling and staggering but running all the same, Giles hurries to the door, wrenches it open, and dashes out into the hall, calling for Ra with all the breath he has left.]
