“What have you eaten, Sophie?” he asked. But the owl couldn’t answer. She was too busy hiccuping and trying to give Demon more owl kisses.

“Stop it,” Demon said, fending her off. “If you can’t speak, then you’ll have to flap. Once for yes, twice for no, all right?” Sophie flapped once.

“Did you eat anything you wouldn’t normally eat?”

Flap.

“Did someone give it to you?”

Flap. Flap.

Endeis interrupted.

“Did you steal it from one of the gods?” she asked. Demon didn’t know that nymphs could speak owl. He thought it was only him.

Sophie’s eyes started to spin the other way, and she hiccuped out a very small heart.

Flap.

All at once Demon remembered something Hephaestus had said. “Have you been anywhere near Eros?” he asked. “Did you swallow something with a love potion in it?”

Flap.

“Right,” said Demon. “That’s it! I’ve seen a love-potion antidote somewhere. Chiron had to make one up the other day for some poor girl who’d fallen in love with a tree.”

Peleus laughed. “A tree? Are you serious?”

“Deadly serious,” said Demon, searching along the shelves. “She made little garlands for its branches and everything. Said she wanted to marry it. That was one of Eros’s potions, too. He said it was a joke.” He closed his lips tightly in case he’d said something he shouldn’t. Even if Eros was a god, he shouldn’t play tricks like that. It wasn’t very kind.

“Is this it?” asked Endeis, holding up a clear bottle of bright-blue potion.

“Yes!” said Demon. “Quick! Pass it here!”
