**The students begin following Cassandra and Achilles ducks behind them to be last in line to watch out for any threats coming from behind**
**A biped demon lunges at him but Achilles ducks behind the blow, grabs the beast by the head and snaps it's neck**
**He drops the demon's carcass and starts to follow when the sight of a perpetual field is seen over the distance. Achilles gives pause when a shade walking the orchard waves at him and he freezes**
**He chokes a whisper**
P-Patroclus?

In the confusion, Len grabs Hartley and Lisa, and they retreat to a giant magma outcropping in the Hades terrain.
"C'mon. Looks like Ares was right. They're all going to try for Styx."
James snickers.
"Aren't they in for a surprise...oh well! Let's be off."
The five Rogue Boys and Lisa sneak off away from the bulk of the rest of the students.

Cassie keeps guiding students past the souls when she sees Achilles pause.. she looks at Patroculus and she knows why.
"Achilles! You must leave him! He is but a shadow of his former self.."
As she heads towards him another soul taps her on the shoulder and she looks..
"Oh my god.. Hector.."

**Patroclus looked so young, not much older than he was when Zeus had plucked Achilles from the fields of Troy. That could only mean...**
"No..."
**He shook his head and started toward the field, breaking into a run**

Ha...I don't know any dead people.
*A shade of Chris's grandmother walks up to him.*
I never knew you, only seen pictures. Can't pull on my heartstrings.
*heads past the shade and up to Cassie
Cass?

Cassie grabs Achilles and is holding him back..
" Brother! No! Once you head there you may not return!"

**struggles with Cassandra, her amazon power a match for his own**
Release me! He can't be dead! He can't!

" But he is and has so for centuries.. as are many of the others. It's what war and time do to people.. But your death would solve nothing!"
As Cassie holds Achilles back the shadow of Hector simply says her..
"I'm sorry.. I should've believed you... I should've known about Paris..a woman no matter how beautiful was not worth all of this"
Cassie closed her eyes as tears streamed down she had waited several lifetimes to hear those words from him.

*stomps up to Achilles and slaps him across the face*
Stop this right now! You are a hero, dammit, so starting acting like it. These kids need you!

**Achilles begins to weep at the realization that the one who had captured his heart and soul had been dead for centuries**
"No...."
**His head rocks from the blow by Chris and Achilles snaps back and glares at Powell with rage emblazoned on his handsome face**
"You...DARE....!?"

Len pulls the cold gun out of his coat, and with a huge blast, an ice bridge appears in front of the giant flow of lava in front of them. The Rogues all cross, except James, who floats by the bridge, walking on air.
"Finally finished those flying shoes, huh?" Evan nodded at James, who twirled a couple times in mid-air and started flying backwards.
"Yup. You keeping an eye on the competition?"
"Aye." Even held up a mirror, showing what was reflecting off the tip of Achilles' spear. "Fools're getting sidetracked quite nicely."

**Achilles breathes hard as he breaks loose from Cassandra and his chest heaves when he begins to hear something, voices...**
"Child gods...."
"Humans and metas..."
"Lost and alone..."
"The answer before and behind you..."
"Nothing is what is and yet everything will be..."
"He who reigns seeks to ensnare..."
"Those who trust do so foolishly..."
**Achilles has heard those voices before and looks to Cassandra to see if she too hears**
