The singing shudders to a stop and all four Hesperides stare at her in shock. "Lady Hera sent you?"

"Yes."

It rings true, and Pallas has to restrain a sigh of relief. Of gratitude, for that tiny nugget of information that remained inside her head. The Hesperide frowns.

"What did the Lady sent you for?"

"An apple . . . I think."

The Hesperide raises an eyebrow. "You think, but you don't know?"

Pallas shrugs. "I kind of lost my memory, and only small pieces remain. I'm doing the best I can."

The Hersperide narrows her eyes. "Lost your memory? That sounds familiar. Would you know a Percy Jackson, perhaps?"

"He's my brother, actually. I'm Pallas."

One of the Hesperides gasps. "Pallas? The one who is loved by Lady Athena?" Pallas dips her chin in a tentative nod after searching through her fragmented memory, and the Hesperide's eyes widen even further as she steps forward. "I thought you died, long ago. How can you be Pallas?"

"If I get my memory back, I'll tell you the story."

The first Hesperide holds out a hand to her sister. "Hush, Arethusa." She looks back to Pallas. "If you are who you say you are, then I suppose introductions are in order. I am Erytheia, and my other two sisters are Aegle and Hesperia. You must have been reborn, to be a demigod now. A strange thing, but not impossible, although having memories of your past should be impossible. If you told us truth, then you are free to take a single apple if you can get past Ladon, though we will not aid you. If not, then he will know and your fate will be to dissolve in his stomach. Leave now or carry on, it is your choice."

Pallas nods. "I understand. Thank you for permitting me entrance."

Erytheia dips her head and steps back, allowing Pallas to continue down the black marble path. With a deep breath and another grateful smile towards the four Hesperides, Pallas begins to walk.
