**Gema's POV:**
King Agamemnon's men chased us as we fled from his castle.
While running, we lost sight of Mycenae and took a different path, seeking safety away from King Agamemnon.
After a long chase, Nicko and I found ourselves cornered at the edge of a cliff by the seashore.
If we chose to jump into the sea, we would likely meet our end on the sharp rocks waiting below...
Emerging from the troops that had followed us was King Agamemnon, greeting Nicko's arrival.
**King Agamemnon:** Ahhh... Argos! I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return...
**Nicko:** You traitor! You promised to spare Dardania for the fall of Troy...
**King Agamemnon:** Ah, ah, ah. I was not finished. I will spare the city of Dardania until the fall of Troy...
**Nicko:** You monster!
**Gema:** Nicko? What are you two talking about?
**Nicko:** My lady...?
**King Agamemnon:** My Queen Jewel? Don’t you prefer to stay by his side? He’s a demon!
**Gema:** What...?
**Nicko:** Let me explain, my lady...
**King Agamemnon:** My lady? You monster! He is a sorcerer who has lived for over a hundred years!
**Gema:** No wonder you’ve never aged while I grow old, Nicko.
Nicko held my hand tightly and said,
**Nicko:** Everything the king has said is true, but I swear to you, my lady, and to the River Styx that...
"I have changed since the first day I saw you."
I was deeply moved by what Nicko said and cupped his face in my hands, saying,
**Gema:** If this is to be our last day together, then I am happy to die by your side, Nicko...
We then sealed our fate with a passionate kiss, worthy of ending life with the one you love.

**Hestia's POV:**
**Zeus:** Aren't you going to help him, Hestia?
**Hestia:** No...
He looked down at Argos' predicament, worried for one of my descendants.
**Hestia:** Why are you so concerned?
**Zeus:** I fear that after all this time together, it may end just like this...
**Hestia:** What do you mean, Zeus?
**Zeus:** I mean that you and Argos share a strong bond; without one another, either of you is nothing.
**Hestia:** But he is not Argos, Zeus...
**Zeus:** He doesn’t have to be Argos. You first met at the River Styx; he left life happily, dying in your arms, Hestia.
**Hestia:** What are you trying to tell me, Zeus?
**Zeus:** Although he is not Argos, he is still a Descendant of Argos. "The Legacy" you protected all your life. I know that even if you hide it, you'll regret not at least trying to save him from death.
