Then there had been a crack of lightning, a flurry of clouds, and she and Wonder Boy were being whisked into the heavens toward Mount Olympus.”

She shuddered, finally understanding the depth of the sacrifice he had made for her. As hard as the memory was to see, she knew living it had been immeasurably worse for him.
“Thank you,” she whispered, overwhelmed, and knew at once that he had always been nearby, watching over her. Those dreamworld visits had not been illusions. He had come to her at night.”
