Chicago is big. I'm not kidding. It would be near impossible to find Nico in this place. I munched on my cheese burger happily. I love them burgers. My friends all glared at me. What? It's not my fault we were currently being attacked by the malfunctioning mechanical watchdogs of King Alcinous.

They were huge and shiny. One was made of pure gold, the other pure silver. They were barking loudly and nipping at the unarmed Lacy's ankles. Them Phaeacians were great dog trainers. I dropped my burger on a table and transformed my bow. I shot a special, steel arrow at Goldie. Did you know that gold is actually a really soft metal? The arrow hit the dog in it's oh-so shiny forehead. Goldie went down, it's glowing eyes went dark. I hope Lord Hephaestus won't be too mad about that. Silver's eyes went dark too. I guess they were connected somehow. I grabbed my burger and took a hungry bite. Someone coughed. Oops.

We were a whole restaurant full of mortals! I wonder what they think they saw. It couldn't be good. Tammy burst into action. She grabbed Lacy and Natalie as I transformed my bow, then we bolted out the door, the two teenage cashiers chasing after us. That is the last time I bring a lethal weapon into a burger king full of idiot mortals.

Once we escaped pimple one and pimple two, I couldn't help but explode at Anna.

"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BRING A BOW AND ARROWS TO BURGER KING!" I screamed at her in the alley we were hiding in.

"What? I'm a daughter of Apollo. You honestly thought I wouldn't bring a bow and arrows?" She asked while eating that heart attack on a bun. "Please! Those dogs almost completely destroyed Lacy's shoes. Now," She turned to Lacy. "how did you part with Lamia's soul? It sort of just came out of you."

"Remember what Chiron said? He said I had her Courage and kindness. So my guess is-"

"SHUT UP! IT'S MY JOB TO TELL YOU HOW TO PART WITH THE SOUL!"

We all turned to see an old dude with a bushy white beard. He was dressed in an ice blue toga, which brought out his eyes. (AN- She is a daughter of Aphrodite!) And there were two rugged wings sprouting out his back. His face was very red and he looked furious.

"Dad?" Asked Lacy

"Yeah, yeah I'm your father. Now, to remove part of the soul you must exhibit one of the two things you represent. Then part of the soul will leave you an hour later. But I warn you." Boreas snickered. "It will be excruciatingly painful. And it will happen twice."

Then he randomly flew away. Uggh. I think he was going commando.

WOO! Where's the karaoke machine? Chiron said I have her voice and talent. It'll be killing two birds with one stone.

"I wanna do karaoke." I announced.

My friends all sighed. It may be difficult to find a karaoke machine in the middle of Chicago, I admit it. But as my mom used to say, "When all else fails, go to a Starbucks." I'll start there.


Wow. That was strange. Oh well, REVIEW!
