But Hades didn't need to help the much younger Elias right now. He needed to help the Elias in front of him. He knew what Elias wanted. He knew what they probably needed to do. But his stomach was flipping at the thought, and he honestly couldn't imagine hurting Elias - even if it was to help him.
There was a lot to take in. Things no normal teenager should have to hear. Should have to decide. She didn't know what to do. What was the best solution? What should she say? Annabeth stared at Elias, narrowing her eyes. He looked at them all, sorrow in his eyes. So, he was genuine.
Kazimir wasn't used to talking people off the edge like this, and he couldn't deny that a part of him did feel obligated to fulfill Elias's request, as much as he hated it. He wouldn't, but he felt like he was supposed to. The voice of his father wormed its way into his mind, telling him if he was getting paid for it, and they wanted it, then there was no reason to turn it down.
He would be tough to kill, even if Maggie was going to go through with it. Unless they could get everyone else in the room to keep their eyes shut, ears plugged, and their backs turned until Maggie escorted them out of the room once the job was done.
"I'm sorry about your struggle-" they weren't, "-but I'm not giving up my life just so nothing can change."
Is that what would have happened if she hadn't used the hydra's blood on him? Would Elias have hurt them to survive?
