Emeris's face became exasperated. "Fine, but I don't want any complaints if we die."

A car pulled up to where they were standing, the high beams on. A figure stepped out of the car. As it stepped closer they could tell it was Telemachus. "Thank you for helping me. I know this is dangerous and if Dionysus had his way, Ianthe would be lost to me forever."

"Hey, we're heroes. It's what we do." Emeris replied. "Do you have any leads on Midas's Tomb, or are we just supposed to go off of legends as rumors?"

"Well my leads are based off correlations of the rumors and legends so....yeah, my source said an expedition of humans was lost in the jungles where Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru converge. Its dense and mountainous, so that's the best place to start."

"Ok. next question. How are we supposed to lug a golden statue of a woman across international borders?"

"Ah, that's the simple problem that has already been solved." He dug down into the pocket of his cloak and produced a small figure. It was about the size of a Monopoly piece made of solid gold. He dropped it into Emeris's hand, careful not to touch Emeris. It looked just like a woman frozen in dance.

"Once you get to Midas's Tomb, the spell should wear off, and she'll revert to normal size once she is cured. Thank you again for helping me. I must really go now." With those words re rounded himself and got into his car and peeled off, leaving the three looking at each other. 

"So first thing we need to do is get going. I have family in Tennessee. Harm, if you can, get us the Gray Sister's Taxi. We can head to my family's place. Its off the beaten path, and we can formulate the next step in the plan."

He looked around and then nodded to Jason that he wanted to speak in private and walked closer to the woods. "Look, I'm glad you both are going, but uncomfortable with it as well. Promise me that if shit starts to turn sour, you will get Harmony away safely. Don't worry about me, save her first."
