How It All Goes Down
Piper
- And now they're surrounded by wolves.
- The next bad guy pops up: He's a Latin-speaking, nasty-looking guy named Lycaon, king of the wolves.
- Back in the day, Lycaon asked Zeus to dinner and tried to feed him human flesh, so Zeus killed all his sons in retaliation… which seems maybe a little excessive. He also turned Lycaon into the first ever werewolf.
- Lycaon says he won't kill Jason because some other woman wants to kill him first. He will, however, happily kill everyone else.
- Piper tries to charmspeak Lycaon, but as is often the case, it doesn't work.
- Jason uses his sword, but it just goes through Lycaon, who can only be hurt by silver. Bummer.
- Leo throws some gasoline and lights it on fire, which keeps the wolves off. He tires out quickly, though.
- It looks like the end… but since there are still a bunch of pages on the right side of the book, it probably isn't.
- And, sure enough, arrows come flying out of nowhere, killing lots of wolves.
- Lycaon gets hit with arrows, and actually yells, "Curse them!"
- Good-guy white wolves show up, followed by the Hunters of Artemis.
- Thalia is with them, and Jason finally gets to meet his sister.
