Evdokia and Danai were having a lovely time trying to not get flattened by boulders that were going over the speed limit. And by going over the speed limit, Evdokia meant going 22 miles over it. Mornings for Evdokia could never be normal.

As for Danai, she was having a much more human reaction that involved an extensive set of high-pitched screaming. Danai's morning was not going well, either.

The boulders began to pick up speed. They came hurtling down the various sets of hallways the girls chose (they had run through at least ten different hallways) faster by the second. The things throwing those heavy boulders should entire the Olympics!

Eventually, as luck goes, they reached a dead-end. Evdokia and Danai tried to turn around once and almost got their heads clobbered by 5-ton rocks. This is fun, right, Danai!? Evdokia thought, waiting for a boulder to crush her. What a way to start off a Monday, am I right?

The boulders and Evdokia could swear on her life that they were just coming to hit them, stopped and disappeared. Like a magic trick, only this time, the trick was magical. Danai was just as confused as Evdokia was back in the parking lot with the snake.

Speaking of the snake, where was Asimí Glossári? The basilisk was following them when both girls ran into the building thirty minutes ago. Where was he now?

"So," Evdokia said, trying to calm her nerves. "Do we just head to class or…?"

"I don't think heading the class is okay, Evdokia," Danai rolled her eyes. "Its, like, 10 now so we probably skipped homeroom and half of our second period. Besides, after what just happened, I don't think we're safe here."

"Then what do we do? My dad would drive me back to school if I go back home," Evdokia said. "And yours is probably at work, so we can't go to your house."

Danai wasn't able to answer Evdokia's question. Why? Oh, because three 8-foot giants turned the corner and were headed straight for the girls. And, once again, they were backed into a wall.

Oh, how fantastic! Evdokia thought with fake enthusiasm. Another problem! Great, let me add that to my list!

Then something surprising happened. Just as one of the giants was about to make a swing for Evdokia, she heard a low hiss. One that reminded her of the silver snake that through-up the weasel in the parking lot.

Asimí Glossári jumped down from the ceiling of the school and doused Mr. 8-foot in a pool of venom. The Cyclops (Evdokia thinks that it was a Cyclops) howled and dropped to the floor a second later, only to disintegrate. The others took a step back from Asimí Glossári. They saw what happened to their friend, Evdokia cried, I guess they don't want to end up dead, too!

Something even stranger happened after that, too. Two blades protruded out of the other Cyclops' chest. They fell to the ground a moment later as their brother did a mere 30 seconds ago. Behind the Cyclops' was a young boy with jet black hair and blood red eyes. A girl was leaning on one of the walls with a light color of blonde for hair (maybe Irish cream?).

"Wow, Thanasis," The girl said. "You couldn't wait for me to even get down the hall? How inconsiderate of you." She rolled her only visible eye then looked at Evdokia and Danai.

"These are the two we saved? Not much for demigods, but they'll do, I guess…" she rambled.

The boy, Thanasis, rolled his eyes at his female companion. "You're hopeless, Chrys. It wasn't their fault that they discovered themselves at the wrong moment."

Evdokia was confused, who were these people? And how did they tell that they were demigods? "Excuse me, but who are you?" Evdokia asked.

Chrys laughed. She walked over to where Thanasis was standing. Evdokia noticed a tattoo on her arm, showing 7 lines and the word SPQR. Evdokia wondered what it meant.

"This is Athanasios Velis, shorted to Thanasis," she said, pointing over to Thanasis. "He is also the son of the Greek goddess Anaideia, the goddess of ruthlessness and shamelessness."

"I'm Chrysoula Siberi," Chrysoula said.

"Who's your godly parent, then?" Danai asked, curiosity taking over.

"I don't give out that information to anyone. Even Thanasis here doesn't even know," Chrysoula said. "Now, if you don't want to be eaten by monsters, I recommend your trio follows us."

Author's Note: Asimí Glossári is the Greek pronunciation for silver-tongued.
