A THOUSAND QUESTIONS swirled through Dorothy's mind as she stared down Thalia in a new light. Her head was about to start spinning from the number of times she went back and forth trying to find similarities. It truly was like night and day when comparing the siblings. Was Thalia also a Child of Zeus?
She concluded that similarities between the two were probably seen through words and actions. Dorothy tried standing on her own, but her knees wanted to buckle. She didn't want to take away from Jason's moment, so she locked her knees, forcing herself to stand upright on her own.
For a minute, Jason and Thalia faced each other, stunned. Then Thalia rushed forward and hugged him.
"My gods! She told me you were dead!" She gripped Jason's face and seemed to be examining everything about it. "Thank Artemis, it is you. That little scar on your lip—you tried to eat a stapler when you were two!"
Leo laughed. "Seriously?"
Dorothy blinked in surprise, a stapler? Those things were so large and normally heavy, how could a two-year-old even hold it, let alone get it into his mouth?
Hedge nodded as if he approved of Jason's taste. "Staplers— excellent source of iron."
"W-wait," Jason stammered. "Who told you I was dead? What happened?"
At the cave entrance, one of the white wolves barked. Thalia looked back at the wolf and nodded, but she kept her hands on Jason's face, as if she was afraid he might vanish. "My wolf is telling me I don't have much time, and she's right. But we have to talk. Let's sit."
Piper took it a step further when hearing the suggestion. She collapsed. She would've cracked her head on the cave floor if Hedge hadn't caught her.
Thalia rushed over. "What's wrong with her? Ah—never mind. I see. Hypothermia. Ankle." She frowned at the satyr. "Don't you know nature healing?"
Hedge scoffed. "Why do you think she looks this good? Can't you smell the Gatorade?"
Thalia assessed Dorothy and frowned. Dorothy almost thought she was in trouble, but her head started to spin. She unlocked her knees and fell down to them on the floor. If Piper was going to take a nap, so was she.
"You and the satyr," Thalia ordered someone, probably Leo, "take the girls to my friend at the entrance. Phoebe's an excellent healer."
"It's cold out there!" Hedge said. "I'll freeze my horns off."
"Come on, Hedge. These two need time to talk." Dorothy thinks it was Leo who helped her off the ground. She didn't need as much stability as Piper did.
At least she thought so. Her dizzy head made her stomach churn, and she held a hand over her mouth. She did *not* want to lose her dinner. Leo seemed to be hyper-aware of where she aimed her head and always managed to find a way to get out of the potential line of fire.
