Chapter Twelve

MELANY

“You just got back, and you’re already planning on leaving again?” Lucian shook his head, concern gleaming in his eyes.

“I plan on sleeping first.”

Jasmine gave me a look. “You’re not going on your own this time, Mel. We are going with you. I’m getting tired of you disappearing without a trace. One time it will be for good, and I won’t be able to handle that.”

“Honestly, I was hoping you would say that,” I admitted with a chuckle. “Because I have no idea how to get into Tartarus.”

“I’m pretty sure Prometheus is the only one with a key,” Lucian added.

“Then we’ll have to find a way to steal the key.”

Ren snorted. “I’d love to just have one year at the academy where we aren’t facing grave danger and doing something we shouldn’t be doing. Like, can’t we just be cool professors and revel in all the perks?”

I patted him on the shoulder. “Yeah, but where would the fun be in that?”

“And what perks are you getting?” Jasmine asked.

Yet, not everyone looked enthused about the possibility of another dangerous adventure. Georgina had yet to say anything. She wouldn’t even meet my gaze.

“Gina?” I reached across the table to touch her hand. “What’s going on?”

“I was kind of hoping that when I got my earth powers again, my arm would somehow magically grow back.” She shook her head. “It was a stupid thing to assume.”

My chest constricted with her words. “I may not be able to help you grow your arm back, but I do have the next best thing.”

Giving me a weird look, she scrunched her nose. “I’m almost scared to ask.”

After we finished eating, I led everyone down the stone stairs to the forge. If I’d been gone over a week, that should’ve been enough time for Hephaistos to make the mechanical arm that I’d commissioned for Georgina. Cassandra tried to get out of it, saying she didn’t belong, but I grabbed her arm and told her she was one of us now, and she needed to accept it whether she liked it or not.

That made Jasmine snort laugh.

When we stepped through the open metal door, voices carried down from one of the upper platforms and we halted, pressing our backs against one of the large stone walls near the lower forge.

“You are crazy to think I have any control over her whatsoever.” Hephaistos’s voice seemed stressed, and I wondered which “her” he was talking about.

“Well, you need to do something before she destroys it all.” The second voice was a huge surprise. It belonged to Hera, the Goddess of the Stars, and Zeus’s long-suffering wife.

Now I was really curious as to who the “her” they were discussing was. Was it Aphrodite? Was it me? Also, what was the “it” in the equation? The plot to resurrect Zeus? Fixing fate and time?

“And do it before I do.”

“I don’t do well with threats, Hera. They make my skin itchy.”

“Who do you think she’s talking about?” I whispered, glancing at the others.
