Pandora glanced at Leonidas with curiosity. " Why aren't you able to protect it anymore?"

Tony vaguely recalled Leonidas from mythology, he seemed pretty self important so that felt a little suspicious but since he said he was there to help Tony let it pass. He figured the most important point was the immediate info.
"So Leonidas, who sent you here?" Tony scratched his head to think of something else, "Also where do you want us to go?"

( leonidas isn't from mythology, he was a real spartan leader in a battle against a persian king. he sacrificed himself and his small, though not as small as many would have you believe, group of spartans so that the others could escape to sea and defeat the persians that way, which they did) "i cannot protect it" said leonidas "because i am no longer immortal. for a long time, i guarded this treasure, even giving my life for it at the battle of thermopylea. for that, the gods made me immortal, and the sole guardian of the armor. since then, i have continued guarding it, but i feel a great evil stirring, and my mortality returning, before i felt like a man with impenetrable flesh and bone of the strongest metal, but no more, i feel, once again, the frailty of flesh blood and bone. you must come with me to the river styx. i have stored the armor on the far banks"

{I knew about him from 300}
"Can we really go through styx I mean we're not dead or immortal, Blayd and Pandy might be but the rest of us probably aren't," Calli said to Leonidas while picking up Archie.

Leonidas, with the serious look of a man who was sued to hardship and taking it head on, said "that is why i must accompany you, i am still powerful enough to protect you and get you there, but we must go quickly. i believe that the enemy has become aware of the location of the item." blayd, still recovering from the shock of the revelation of leonidas' immortality looked at him and said "then we have to hurry! there's no time to waste, where can we find the river?" Leonidas replied "no living mortal can find a way there on his own, but if you can get me to the river to the west ((entirely random river placement)) "i can open a passage to the underworld and the river there. it exists on a different plain, but each river is a passage to it for the dead, or for immortals"

Archie slumped down looking revieved, "Phew, I was afraid one of use was going to have to die or something."
"Oh as if Archie. That wouldn't happen," Calli said picking up a pack with some food and a piece of cake just in case they'd run into Cerberus.

(omg you remembered ^_^ XD ) "as if? as if?! do not be mistaken child, we go now to the river of death, a grim and dangerous place for mortals. there is little doubt that one of us will meet a swift end there" said leonidas to cali, a strange look on his face. blayd sensed something between the two, leonidas had a look on his face when he was talking to her like he was warning her because.... he wanted to protect his child. that was preposterous of course, as Leonidas had said that he was the last in his line.

Tony was beginning to not like what Leonidas was saying, "Hold up, mister. Are you saying that one or more of us is gonna die? That's not what I like to hear."

"no, i only mean that our enemy is immortal and we are going to the edge of the land of the livng, where it borders the land of the dead, the journey will be dangerous" Leonidas replied, though the look on his face told Blayd that he was afraid of something

Pandora had been listening quietly and decided not for the first time it was a good thing she left Kayley with Sean and Sorka. " Well then let's get going. Who knows? Maybe we'll meet Cerberus. I"ve always wanted to meet him." She said witha wicked grin from her perch on Sage's back.

Bellatrix kept a poker face. Inside her mind she was checking off a mental checklist for traps. ...claiming to be another victim of our common enemy, Check. looks nervous/possibly fearful of something, like a bad liar, Check. trying to take us to a vague location somewhere unknown, Check. anything to do with the Underworld, Check...
"Hey Tony, Blayd," she said, "could I have a little help? I think something's wrong with this tire," she said, bending down as if to inspect her car. "Or Pandora or Calli, do you know anything about cars?" she asked casually enough, but staring straight into each person's eyes so they might get the hint. She wanted to voice her suspicions with the rest of them.

"Sure," Tony said to Bella. He could tell that Bella sensed something about Leonidas and he wanted to see if she knew more than he did about the situation.

Pandora shrugged and swung down from Sage's back. " Yeah I know a bit about Cars. A friend of mine loves to play with them and taught me a few things. Rosto and I much prefer horses though as you can tell by Sage." She then walked over to Bella while eyeing Leonidas. For all her carefree words she didn't trust the man her senses were screaming that he couldn't be trusted. Pandora had learned to listen to her senses as those had kept her alive on the streets all these years.

Calli watched Tony, Bella, and Pandora go to discuss something. She could obviously see they had suspissions about Leonidas but Calli had the strange inclination that although he seemed all vague and uptight, he didn't seem to be a bad guy. She figured if he was leading them into a trap it would be easier for him to drag them to the underworld by force. She wondered if Blayd thought something similar of if he suspected Leonidas of something like the others.

blayd noticed the others huddling around the car and knew they suspected Leonidas to be false, but blayd knew somehow that leonidas could be trusted. he said to his friends, as his eyes closed and he felt something stirring within him "the spirit of prophecy is upon me, my father has blessed me so that i may see the truth, this man is Leonidas, the hero of sparta, he has risked much to protect his charge and help us, and we must listen to his advice" blayd fell to the ground, having feinted
