PART 10
EXT. ATHENA'S TEMPLE - night
POSEIDON and HARRY stand in the temple. Fire illuminates the temple.
POSEIDON
What do you think the girl will say when the objects she is supposed to build are already from her imagination.
HARRY
Well, I hope, nothing.

AGATHE
WOW. Is that Olympus?
ADONIS
I believe so, you can't really see anything from down here, but the cloud never moves.
MILA
My friend told me it was.
ADONIS
You've made friends here?
