Emeris looked at Mr. D. "This man just crashed in. I jumped to try and help him, but he wouldn't let any of us touch him. He keeps saying he needs you."
Mr. D looked down at the ragged man, then to Chiron. "Get the campers back to their bunks and come back here immediately." His voice was calm, and unusual. Emeris turned to Harmony and Jason. "I think we should go to our cabins as well." Mr. D looked at them, "No you three stay here, I might need your help."
"Do you know this man?" Emeris asked.
"I used to, a long time ago." He replied. "Telemachus, I told you that if I ever saw your face again I would kill you."
The ragged man looked up at Mr. D. "I am so sorry Dionysus. I don't have anywhere else to turn."
"You need to leave, now." He said, turning on his heels and walking away
"IT'S IANTHE!"
Mr. D stopped in his tracks. "You dare speak her name in my presence." He voice was calm yet cold.
"She's...something happened."
"What did you do to her?"
"It wasn't my fault. Things were rough and I made a deal. Midas's deal."
"And now shes what, a golden statue?" Mr. D asked, "What do you want me to do? You know I'm stuck here, and Midas's Deal is final."
"Look I know you hate us, and that is understandable but please help. I have bad people after me, and I got in contact with an old friend that said there is a way to turn her back. Someone has to take her body to Midas's resting place."
"You selfish idiot, no one has seen Midas's Tomb for over 2000 years. The Spaniards sought it. Called it El Dorado even. People have died trying to find it. Now your really need to leave."
The man lowered his head and started crying.
"Mr. D, " Emeris spoke for the first time through the exchange, "I will take Ianthe's body to Midas's Tomb."
"Are you an idiot like this man, Emeris? No one has ever been able to find it. Look, thank you for stepping up, but there is nothing that can be done." Mr. D turned to walk toward the Big House.
"No. We have to help this man, Mr. D. He sought us out. We are supposed to be heroes, and heroes don't leave anyone feeling lost."
"You don't know this man. He is a liar, a thief, a coward. This man would sell you out for 20 bucks and a packet of cigarettes. If you want to help him, that's on you, you're eighteen now, but I wont authorize anyone to help you, or anyone to come save you. You are alone in this. Telemachus. Leave."
Emeris listened to the mans words, he knew this would be dangerous, but he needed to help. He looked at Telemachus. "Go, meet me by the highway in two hours. I need to pack. I will help you free Ianthe." With those words he turned and sprinted to his cabin.
