"Remember, I will still be here

As long as you hold me, in your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended

Time can be transcended

Just remember me

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,

It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun

I'm with you

Whenever you tell, my story

For I am all I've done

Remember, I will still be here

As long as you hold me

Remember, when your dreams have ended

Time can be transcended

I live forever

I sense there are two others here with you. You may come out, daughter of Athena, son of Hypnos." I reply in a magical voice.

The other two come out and stand at the Morpheus kid's sides. "Will you kill us?" The son of Hypnos asks nervously.

I tilt my head in curiosity. "Does Ladon kill those who come to bother the tree?" I ask.

"No, he only keeps the tree and its fruit safe. He does not aim to kill, only to protect." The daughter of Athena answers immediately.

I chuckle. "So eager." She backs behind the son of Morpheus timidly. "It was not a riddle, daughter of the wisdom goddess. No, son of Hypnos, I will not kill you. But if you aim to take an apple or harm those I am sworn to guard, I will not hesitate to make you leave this garden. If you wish passage to Mt. Othrys or to seek out Atlas, that is a-"
