Cassie frowned... She wondered if there were any necromancers at this school. In any case she washed her face and stepped outside towards the gardens to see what Hades was talking about. Afterwards she would go look for her brother who was near food no doubt.

The gardens were kept alive, even during the cold months, by the talents of Agatha Harkness to preserve their beauty year-round. the gardens A wind blew across the gardens to caress Cassie with an invigorating blend of roses, lilacs, orchids and such.
The closer she got to the gardens, the harder the wind blew.
Then, as her foot crept right up to the border of the rose bushes, an eruption of dirt shot up, pelting her clothes. Then...a hand stuck up from the dirt, grasping at the air desperately!

Cassie was stunned when she saw the hand... She said the first thing that came to mind.
"AHHHHH! ZOMBIES!"
Yes the zombies must've been back... that was the only explaination for the hand. Cassie flew as fast as she could into Blackhawks locking the door behind her.
" Zinda... zombies... their back..."
Cassie then looked around seeing Chris, Achilles, and some new girl..
"Ummm... hi guys..."

Achilles spun about and stared at Cassandra. He noticed her expression, and heavy breathing.
"Sister! What in the name of Hades is the matter!?"

Cassie tried to slow down her breathing.
"The name of Hades is right! He came to see me and at the end he said he had a surprise for us in the garden and I saw a hand come up from the ground... it must be zombies..."

*Chris couldn't believe it. He was about to explain to Dani what happened and now Cassie was here! Chris pulled Dani aside and stared to rapidly whisper in her ear what happened.*

Achilles slams his mug down, reducing it to glass splinters...
Zinda barked, "Hey!..."
"Damned abominable god of hell!" Achilles roared. "Of all the times ... can we not even celebrate such a time of year without his pranks!?"
He stood up and headed for the door.
"We will deal with this now!"

" Achilles! Wait! There's more you should know!"
Cassie looked at Danielle.
" Sorry I can't talk... "
She smiled as she saw Chris with the ipod in his hand. Dani really was a good friend. Cassie then ran out after Achilles.

"There will be time for talk after the threat is extinguished sister!"
He turned and his winter clothes morphed into his golden battle armor.
"Fly me back as swiftly as the wind! I will end this quickly enough and then we may talk the night away!"

Cassie lifted her brother off the ground and flew him over to the school gardens.
" But brother Hades wants.... he said he wanted you to become his champion"
Cassie then landed them close to where the hand had come up out of the ground.

*Chris watched the pair leave. What should he do? He didn't want to be near Cassie but...if the school was in danger then he should help. Cursing aloud(and getting yelled at by Zinda), Chris slipped into his armor and followed them to the gardens. Zombies...always with the zombies.*

Achilles stomped toward the gardens and glanced back long enough to see that Chris in his armor had joined them. He looked back to the gardens as he heard the movement and a moaning emanate from within the shrubbery but did a double take when he heard Cassandra's words.
"His champion!? He would DARE ask ME to be his....!? What in the name of the Kraken's foul breath would make him think I would be willing....!?"
He spun about as he saw a figure, waist deep in the dirt, struggling to pull itself up from the rocks and dirt in was currently trapped in. Forgetting the question at the moment, Achilles dashed up and snared the long, dirt encrusted hair of the zombie and pulled back, causing a sharp cry to escape the lips.
Since when do zombies cry out like that?
Achilles brought his word up to deliver the death blow when he looked down i nto the face...and the shock sent his sword clanging to the ground. he backed up, staring at the young man trying to pull himself from the ground, and bumped into Chris and Cassie...
"Patroclus...?"

Oh, $#&%.
*Chris grabbed a hold of Achilles as the Greek warrior backpedaled.*
Whoa, Achilles. We're here for you.
*This was like a freaky Greek Pet Sematary kind of thing....without the pets.*

Cassie stares shocked. What kind of gift was this? They were to take Patroclus back to his doom.... that's no gift. That's torture.
" Hades wants... no... I can't... History be damned I can't do it."
Cassie's eyes were watery she looked up at her brother. She couldn't take this moment away from him... she couldn't take his lover away from him. What Achilles felt for Patroclus was something of which Cassandra could only hope to find in her own life. Achilles in many ways was so much more then she was, he was so mature... Looking at the two men, Cassandra realized how much of a child she still was. Not even realizing it she grabbed Chris's hand and squeezed tightly. Cassie was shaking a little, envious of the two lovers in front of her.
" By Aphrodite's might I can not do it."

Patroclus clenched his teeth as he pressed his hands against the dirt, trying to pull himself from the ground that currently had his lower half trapped. He suddenly started coughing, spitting dirt out and shaking his head, sending small bits of dirt and pebble flying.
He looked up through his stinging eyes toward the three staring at him, and in ancient Greek, spoke, "Little help?"
Achilles just stood frozen, in a state of shock.
