"Don't you guys want to find someone who can make your spirits run free?" I ask my friends as we all sit at Zeus' Fist. I lay on my back on the flat surface with Lou Ellen, Cecil, Percy, and Annabeth. Will and Nico sit in the crevice of the web of the thumb and palm, while Leo and Calypso sit on the thumb.

"Well, I have been known to be bold," he said, blinking slowly.
