"Meaning?" she repeated.
"Meaning the good guys had all the dragons ... now they don't. And Urian holds the blood of Apollymi, Bet, Set, and Acheron...."
Morgen sucked her breath in as she finally understood. "He's the key to bringing them all down."
"Isn't he, though. And you know what we've just discovered?"
A slow smile curved her lips. "The source of his undoing."
Apollo nodded slowly. With Phoebe under his control, he didn't need to find out Acheron's father, after all. He had something even better at his disposal.
Acheron's comeuppance.
Because that was the beauty of being a god of prophecy. He knew the future.
The final fate of the world--of all humanity--wasn't really in the hands of Acheron, or even Apollymi.
It was actually in the bloodline of Styxx's family.
