I waked through the forest with Maddy and a quivering Adam behind me. I looked back at him and saw that he was being pulled along by Maddy, but he was doing pretty well job of not going very far. "Grow a pair, would ya?" I growled at him. His eyes went wide and I looked down to see my nose turned into a lion's muzzle. I turned it back an met Maddy's eyes that were agreeing with me. "Wait here," I demanded. I ran into the forest and grabbed a short stick. "Take it," I threw it at Adam.
"A stick?" he asked.
"Trust me, I have a plan. Just follow Maddy." I turned into a sparrow and flew off. I didn't have a plan yet. I flew to a hill that was pass some trees and had an ocean on the other side. There, I saw a man that had two guns, a cowboy hat, and a bandanna on his face. He also had huge feet that were covered by cowboy boots. He was looking down the side if the hill that Maddy and Adam were. I flew into a tree that was on the hill, but very far away from him.
I finally saw Maddy and Adam come up the side of the hill.
"Hello children. Did you bring your most valuable possession?" I heard him ask.
"Y-yes," Adam stuttered. He then presented the stick to he man. "Here."
"Who are you?" Maddy asked.
"Me? I'm Sciron, a forgotten son of Poseidon." He said. The name Sciron sounded familiar.
"Then why are you wearing a bandanna on your face?" Maddy asked again.
"So no one knows who I am!"
"Then why did you tell me your name?"
Sciron rolled his eyes. "Never mind. I'll let you go after you do one thing for me. You must clean my feet, then you can go."
Now I remember Sciron! He tricked his enemies into cleaning his feet, then he would push them into the ocean for his giant turtle to eat! Now I had a plan.
