Reyna's POV

We laughed our podicies off as Nico danced.

Lord Apollo killed the music. 'My turn.'

Nico was not going to argue with a god. 'Yes sir.'

'Reyna Avila; truth or death wish?' Apollo asked.

What happened in Albania? Frank had asked.

What happened in Albania? I thought. The worst thing of my life.

'Death wish.' I said

'Talk like a pirate for the rest of the game.' Apollo said.

How did he know I had to be a pirate?

'How did ye knew I were a pirate?' I asked in my worst pirate voice.

'I'm god of the Sun.' Apollo said. 'I see everything.'

I gulped. Everything?

'Annabeth.' I said. 'yer truth, or yer dare?'

'Percy?' Annabeth asked.

'I is the one who asked the question, wee lass.' I said, wagging my invisible hook. 'Answer it before ya walk the plank!'

Everyone laughed.

'Truth.' Annabeth said.

'On a scale of me foot to me hook; how good is Percy's sugar?' I asked.

'What does that mean?' Annabeth asked.

'On a scale from one to ten; how good is Seaweed Brain's kissing?'

I gasped. 'Shiver me timbers! The dreaded one woke.'

Nik was back.

Although I did not know Nik very well; she was a daughter of Mercury— Hermes, whatever. It also seemed like she had a bad reputation.

'Thar I blow; Arellano.' Nik said. 'Who was in charge while Nicky knocked me out?'

Will Solace laughed.

'As long as Will's my boyfriend; I was in charge.' Nicky said. 'And it's Nico; Nicole.'

'Nicola Danaë.' Apollo corrected.

Percy looked flabbergasted. 'So by mythology standards; you're my mom?'

'Come to mommy, Perseus.' Nik said, her smug smile returning.

'But Danaë was sweet.' Percy said. 'And defenceless. And didn't rock dudes' clothes.'

'Thanks. I'm blushing.' Nik said, not even smiling. 'Now what're we doing here? This isn't talk my ears off; it's truth or death wish. Your murderer is back!'

'Annie.' Nik said. 'Answer Reyna's question before you swab the poop deck.'

'I said I don't know.' Annabeth said. 'Six.'

'Hear that, Perce?' Nik asked. 'You're one step above average.

'Nico; what can you say about Percy's kissing skills?' Nik asked.

'As—'

'Murderer, here.' Nik said. 'Talk.'

Nico looked warily at Will. 'Nine.'

Nik smiled. 'Pirate Rey?'

Nik telepathed her entire plan to me.

I smiled. 'Percy; truth or death wish?'
