I was going to end Hyperion

The world could call me selfish and reckless I si out Hyperion would be worth it

I wasn’t like Apollo I wouldn’t sacrifice the only people I cared about to protect thethis for our child

Because I would not allow her to live one more day in fear of Hyperion and I sure as hell would not allow row inside her and to be born, forced to live with that kind of terror

Exhaling slowly, I willed roan

Aiden stood outside the rooainst his chest as he leaned against the wall He was dressed as a Sentinel, daggers and all, and I kneas ready

Walking toward hiaze settled on him He opened his mouth "No," I said

His eyes narrowed

"You’re not going with oing to that warehouse and I’--"

"Toto find the guy naive two shits about that guy," he said, and well, I really couldn’t argue that Aiden squared off withbecause you hope it’ll draw out Hyperion"

I raised ot lucky with Perses, or we just don’t knohat that fallout is, but Hyperion is one of the first twelve Titans There is no way that taking hi really bad"

"I feel like we’ve already had this conversation," I od of wisdood of wisdos probably aren’t going to be a big deal, but the light part? I’ at hi you want to hearyou already know that I don’t So, can we please end this conversation? I’ve got shit to do"

"I know you don’t care," he replied, voice flat

"Look, I get that you’re about saving the world and shit, but we already had this conversation You and I both know that if Hyperion did that shit to Alex, you’d be gunning for his ass Just because those shoes aren’t on your feet right now, don’t think for a second I don’t knohat you’d be doing"

Aiden looked away, because he couldn’t deny that

"I cannot allow you to coot a hold of you and you ended up dead, I so would not want to deal with Alex"

His turned back to me and he raised his brows

"You will be a liability, because Hyperion can take you out"

"And he can’t take you out?"

I smiled as I shook my head "No"

A flicker of emotion shot across his face Looked a lot like unease For what? I wasn’t sure

"If you really want to be a help, then watch over Josie for me," I told him "If she wakes up and I’m not back yet, tell her I will be I don’t want her to worry That’s what you can do"

Aiden looked like he was going to argue, but after athat he would do exactly that, I took o to Piney Woods first I went to the island--to just outside the teht as I cli who I was looking for

Karina stood by the alter, her hands clasped together as if she aiting Just like with Basil, I really felt like I needed to get the "Kýrios?"
