“No! I was a fool to believe Creusa could love me more. I miss my children, and Medea haunts my dreams, her smile, the soft touch—” Jason reached behind, drew a wickedly sharp dagger, and launched himself at Kratos. Years of fierce battle had honed Kratos’ reactions. The gleam of the blade that should have driven deep into his chest missed by a hairbreadth. He reached out and caught Jason by the throat, squeezed, and then heaved, lifting the Argonaut off his feet. Jason stabbed out with the dagger, but it was a feeble attempt. Kratos’ powerful grip turned the blade around and drove it into Jason’s heart.

When the man stopped struggling, Kratos cast him aside.

“It is best to die in combat,” he said by way of obituary for the dead hero.
