𝟶𝟾: "𝙾𝚔𝚊𝚢,"

"So you want to look for Dylan, the nasty storm dude, on purpose," Leo said. "The guy who threw me off the skywalk and sucked Coach Hedge into the clouds." 

A bit confused, Sage leaned back into Piper.

"Who's Dylan?" She mumbled.

Piper's eyes widened before she whispered back, "You don't want to know, you would have hated him."

"Do you want me to kick his ass?"

"Maybe."

"That's about it," Jason interrupted. "Well ... there may be a wolf involved, too. But I think she's friendly. She probably won't eat us, unless we show weakness."

Jason told them about his dream—the big nasty mother wolf and a burned-out house with stone spires growing out of the swimming pool.

"Uh-huh," Leo said. "But you don't know where this place is." 

"Nope," Jason admitted. 

"There's also giants," Piper added. "The prophecy said the giants' revenge." 

Sage placed her chin onto her palm grumbling, "It also talked about a 'worthy sacrifice'. I think we should take everything lightly, maybe there's another type of giants' revenge?"

Leo snorted. "What else could be considered giant's revenge?"

"I dunno," Sage shrugged. "Maybe someone get's sick off of those green beans with the giant guy on the can-"

"Green Giant?"

"Yes! Him. You're a genius, Piper."

"Wait. It's plural!" Leo said. "Giants—like more than one?"

"Maybe," Piper said. "I remember in some of the old Greek stories, there was something about an army of giants."

"Great," Leo muttered. "Of course, with our luck, it's an army. So you know anything else about these giants? Didn't you do a bunch of myth research for that movie with your dad?"

"Your dad's an actor?" Jason and Sage asked in sync, earning a snicker from the girl.

Leo laughed. "I keep forgetting about your amnesia. Heh. Forgetting about amnesia. That's funny. But yeah, her dad's Tristan McLean." 

"Uh—Sorry, what was he in?"

Sage placed her face into Leo's back to muffle her laughter. She also had no clue who Tristan McLean was.

"It doesn't matter," Piper said quickly. "The giants—well, there were lots of giants in Greek mythology. But if I'm thinking of the right ones, they were bad news. Huge, almost impossible to kill. They could throw mountains and stuff. I think they were related to the Titans. They rose from the earth after Kronos lost the war—I mean the first Titan war, thousands of years ago—and they tried to destroy Olympus. If we're talking about the same giants—" 

Now listen, Sage shouldn't have any reason to doubt her new friend, right? But how does Piper know so much? Why did she correct herself after Kronos? She totally get's being into history, but this information feels fresh, like Piper heard it recently.

When she had been in school she retained certain pieces of information, but they also didn't teach close to anything on mythology. Maybe it's normal.

"Chiron said it was happening again," Jason remembered. "The last chapter. That's what he meant. No wonder he didn't want us to know all the details." 

Leo whistled. "So ... giants who can throw mountains. Friendly wolves that will eat us if we show weakness. Evil espresso drinks. Gotcha. Maybe this isn't the time to bring up my psycho babysitter."
