Prompted by my friend, Pooter1998 - he let me choose between the prompt 'The Knife' or 'Gold'.

"That must be one hell of a knife."

I glanced away from the Narnia film on the TV, and at Nico. I was annoyed.

"Don't look at me like that, Annabeth," he muttered, chewing popcorn at the same time.

"Care to explain why, exactly, it is 'one hell of a knife'?"

"Well," he said, pausing his popcorn-eating, "it killed Aslan."

I clapped slowly. "Well done, Nico. This amazing theory will be debated in Harvard, I'm sure."

He scowled. "Yeah, but isn't Aslan, like, Jesus? And doesn't that mean he's technically God?"

I paused for a second, before giving in. "Yeah, guess it does. Wow, that is one killer knife. It's, like, The Knife."

Nico grinned. "Glad to see why finally see eye to eye."

I punched him in the gut.
