I walk down to the underworld and put my hands in my jean pockets. I can't be bothered with Hades, he yaks on for ages. But if everything goes my way, my plan will work.
I keep on going, now learning electricity. By now, I've nearly made a mess of the training room, but I keep going.
I raise my eyebrows. "What's wrong with that? If you still had Lily, you'd be doing the exact same thing!" I sit back down. "So, what have you been up to?"
"Sorry, I got a call from those Dark Veil losers. Wanted me to attended a stupid party, you know, got to make them think I'm on their side. And you know, I kinda got carried away... With making out... You know what I'm like when I'm drunk."
"Uh, kinda long story... I tried to find Shady, who ran off God knows where, got lost trying to get here, watched Alex and Claire make up and hug, then finally got back here."
I stare him down, ready to strike, but then I grin. "That's their weakness. They think you're on their side, but that will cause their downfall. Now, get to Poseidon's castle quickly, and the Furies and my armies will follow."
