General Blyden stood at attention, watching King Abbadon pace in front of his throne, which had been rebuilt after it was destroyed by the Apollo Cabin Head Counselor.

Will Solace... just thinking of his name made Blyden stiffen with rage. That infuriating son of Apollo had refused to swear fealty, withstood torture, managed to escape right in front of them, and had evaded further attempts at being captured. He had made a mockery of the King of Demons, had made a mockery of him, the one who had the idea of taking him in the first place.

No one fooled General Blyden and got away with it. No one.

"We've been planning this for months," Abbadon said, jolting the general from his thoughts. "You know the procedures. You know what you must do." He whirled on them, golden eyes flashing. "Do not disappoint me."

Blyden bowed his head, his red hair catching the light. "As you wish, Majesty," he said.

Fern went rigid, his mousy brown hair sticking up, his blue eyes full of hunger and excitement. "Which Cabin do you want us to burn down first?"

King Abbadon smiled at the arsonist. "I want you, Fern, to take Cabin Thirteen. Teach that ignorant boy what happens when you refuse to join me."

He turned to Blyden. "And I want you to take Cabin Seven. No doubt our escaped prisoner is there." The king looked at them both, though he talked as though he was addressing Blyden individually. "I want you to burn the cabin to ash. With him inside."
