I whispered. I knew that he was somehow watching us and helping us in what limited ways that he could. “Where should we go?” Aphrodite asked. Ares was carrying her, although since she was wearing the helm, she was invisible. I looked ahead of us and saw the thousands of heads of the undead army guarding the palace. “Not that way,” I muttered quickly. We spun around and circled around the palace and continued on behind it. “We cannot stop right now,” Ares stated calmly. “I wish that we could stop long enough to allow everyone to heal, but we cannot. Hades will deploy an army to find us as soon as he discovers that we are gone.” I nodded in agreement. “He will stop at nothing to find us. I know that much to be true.” We walked quickly forward. The terrain was easy, flat plains and low hills. The ground was soft under our feet. “I should tell you…” I began and glanced around at the others. They stopped and waited for me to finish speaking. “I should tell you what I know.”
