"Are you telling me that the only person in all of Olympus whose life could be in danger and who is likely to die is the woman I have just fallen in love with?" James suddenly said, and even though it made Nemesis happy and her family proud, it was clear that this was the truth.
"It's our only option," Nemesis said, the seriousness in her gaze saying it all.
James stood where he was for a few seconds and then said a little playfully, "I mean, okay, if I tried to stop you, you'd knock me out and force me to come with you, I should make it clear that I'm scared."
Nemesis smiled at these words and then gently held James by the cheek and said, "You know that no one else can come. Something is blocking the others and preventing teleportation. Look at Moros; he is still busy trying. That means that only the lower levels can go back with the energy of the ticket. That leaves just the two of us, me and Eris, but there's no need to jeopardise her."
