I let out a breath. I stand up.
"What are you doing?" Cece asks.
I put on my cape. No use sitting here. If the Sword of Kronos and Scylla are working together, it's doom for us all. I made the mistake of not destroying the sword. I won't make that mistake again. It's time I fight for my mistakes. If Scylla really is attacking Corona, Corona won't last very long.
"I'm going to Scylla." I say.
She stands up.
"I told you there are other ways of persuasion." She smiles.
"Yeah, so I've heard." I say.
"I knew you would." She walks forward.
"Don't make this anything." I say.
Anubis and Seth walk forward. I open the doors. Rapunzel falls face first. I look up. King Edmund, Eugene, Quirin, even Adira, and Lance. I step over Rapunzel. Cece comes out as well. I start moving toward the great hall exit doors.
"Hector, where are you going?" King Edmund asks.
"Most likely to my doom." I say.
"What he means is, he's going to Scylla and so am I." Cece corrects.
"Hector! That's my trusted warrior!" King Edmund yells.
"Let's go!" Rapunzel yells.
I turn.
"I'm going alone." I say.
"What? Alone?" Quirin asks.
"Scylla knows me, and she'll continue to know me. It better there isn't any more casualties." I say.
"But you can't go by yourself." King Edmund asks.
"I think they should come." Cece says.
"Do you not know the cost of Scylla?" I ask.
She looks down.
"It's better I do this alone." I turn.
"Wait!" Rapunzel grabs my hand.
I turn to her.
"Hector... you can't stop us. Have you met me?" Rapunzel asks.
I let out a breath.
"Fine. But remember you do everything I say, i've been on this road before." I say.
"Deal." She says.
