ANGEL STARED UP at the Athena Parthenos from Nico's side as he admired it in a bit of awe. He had not been able to ever actually see the statue since Annabeth and Percy had fallen into Tartarus. Angel was either too busy off in his room, being turned into a tomato plant, being outed or dying his hair. He didn't even know where Leo had been able to store the ginormous thing.
Leo seemed to have made a new mechanical hoist system for the Statue, Angel wasn't all that sure just when he had the time to do such a thing, but still, it lowered the Parthenos onto the hillside with a surprising amount of ease considering how annoying it had been the first time they took it into the ship. So now the forty-foot-tall goddess was gazing serenely over the Rive of Acheron, her golden dress reflecting like molten metal in the sun.
"Incredible," Reyna admitted, staring up at the Parthenos in slight awe.
Angel glanced at her, noticing her eyes were still red from her previous crying. She had told them soon after she had landed on the Argo II, her Pegasus, Scipio, had collapsed, overwhelmed completely by the poisoned claw marks from a gryphon attack the night before. Reyna had put the horse out of his misery with her golden knife, turning the Pegasus into brightly colored dust that had scattered in the sweet-smelling Greek air. Angel admittedly almost teared up as well as she told them the story, but he realized that maybe it wasn't all that bad of an ending for a Pegasus, but still he knew that it had to hurt as Reyna not only lost a horse, but also a very loyal friend and companion.
