The Lost Hero - Chapter 53

Posted on 7:49 AM by Unknown
THE COUNCIL WAS NOTHING LIKE Jason imagined. For one thing, it was in the Big House rec room, around a Ping-Pong table, and one of the satyrs was serving nachos and sodas. Somebody had brought Seymour the leopard head in from the living room and hung him on the wall. Every once in a while, a counselor would toss him a Snausage.Jason looked around the...

IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES FOR THAT TO settle in. Then the other Hephaestus campers started asking questions all at once. Who were the other four demigods? How long would it take to build the boat? Why didn‘t everyone get to go to Greece?―Heroes!‖ Chiron struck his hoof on the floor. ―All the details are not clear yet, but Leo is correct. He will need your...

His memory was still foggy, but bits and pieces were coming back. The night Lupa had tested him at the Wolf House, to decide if...

LEO HADN’T FELT THIS JUMPY SINCE HE offered tofu burgers to the werewolves. When he got to the limestone cliff in the forest, he turned to the group and smiled nervously. ―Here we go.‖He willed his hand to catch fire, and set it against the door.His cabinmates gasped.―Leo!‖ Nyssa cried. ―You‘re a fire user!‖―Yeah, thanks,‖ he said. ―I know.‖Jake Mason,...

PIPER DIDN’T REMEMBER MUCH ABOUT the rest of the night. They told their story and answered a million questions from the other campers, but finally Chiron saw how tired they were and ordered them to bed.It felt so good to sleep on a real mattress, and Piper was so exhausted, she crashed immediately, which spared her any worry about what it would be...

“JASON!”Piper kept calling his name as she held him, though she‘d almost lost hope. He‘d been unconscious for two minutes now. His body was steaming, his eyes rolled back in his head. She couldn‘t tell if he was even breathing.―It‘s no use, child.‖ Hera stood over them in her simple black robes and shawl.Piper hadn‘t seen the goddess go nuclear. Thankfully...

A WOLF LAUNCHED ITSELF AT JASON. He stepped back and swung his scrap wood into the beast‘s snout with a satisfying crack. Maybe only silver could kill it, but a good old-fashioned board could still give it a Tylenol headache.He turned toward the sound of hooves and saw a storm spirit horse bearing down on him. Jason concentrated and summoned the wind....

AFTER THE FIGHT ON MOUNT DIABLO, Jason didn‘t think he could ever feel more afraid or devastated.Now his sister was frozen at his feet. He was surrounded by monsters. He‘d broken his golden sword and replaced it with a piece of wood. He had approximately five minutes until the king of the giants busted out and destroyed them. Jason had already pulled...

AT FIRST, LEO THOUGHT ROCKS WERE pelting the windshield. Then he realized it was sleet. Frost built up around the edges of the glass, and slushy waves of ice blotted out his view.―An ice storm?‖ Piper shouted over the engine and the wind. ―Is it supposed to be this cold in Sonoma?‖Leo wasn‘t sure, but something about this storm seemed conscious, malevolent—like...

FLY A HELICOPTER? SURE, WHY NOT. Leo had done plenty of crazier things that week.The sun was going down as they flew north over the Richmond Bridge, and Leo couldn‘t believe the day had gone so quickly. Once again, nothing like ADHD and a good fight to the death to make time fly.Piloting the chopper, he went back and forth between confidence and panic....
