CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The sunlight invigorated the daywalkers the moment they stepped off the ship and their feet hit the Olympian beach. They were immediately under Sienna's thrall. It was really something to watch. She didn't even have to speak. She lined them up in front of the original daywalkers.

While Dionysus distributed more blood wine to Jessna, Sunshine, and company to ensure they were fully empowered for the battle, my dad and I approached the path that led to the mountain. Cerberus was waiting for us there.

"What's the situation?" I asked.

"Ares just created another batch of golems. It's going to be some fight."

"How are they armed?"

"They all have long swords. They're arranged in three lines contoured to the mountain. A row of spearmen is in the front. Behind them is infantry carrying axes. Above them on the high ground is a group of about twenty archers."

I sighed. "Spears, swords, and arrows are as good as stakes when it comes to fighting vampires."

"Is there any way we could flank them?" my dad asked.

Cerberus snorted. "The cliffs on either side aren't scalable. The only way to get past them is to take them head-on."

I scratched my chin. "Did you get a chance to scout the top of the mountain?"

"There's no evidence of activity at the portal. You made it here in time."

Use Zeus’ power. You should be able to take out at least one of the groups of golems.

I tilted my head. "Clarence is suggesting I use my scythe to zap some of them with lightning. I'm not sure the power is fully charged after we took out the vampires at the nursing home. I might be able to handle one of the three groups."

My dad nodded. "I'd say take out the archers. If their aim is true, they could stake all the daywalkers before we even reached the spearmen."

I nodded. "I agree. Still, those spears could be deadly. Let's confer with Dionysus and the daywalkers. We need to better assess their abilities. There's no doubt that Ares has his golems programmed well. They'll be elite fighters."

We pulled Sienna, Jessna, and Dionysus aside and explained the situation.

Sienna sighed. "The only way to take down daywalkers is to stake them through the heart."

"That's true," Jessna agreed. "That doesn't mean they can't slow us down if they hit us anywhere else, though. Ares has been using archers for a while. We've done well against them, but we never had to fight our way through spears and axes to get to them."

"Well, considering you haven't lost anyone, I'd say you did better than well against the archers."

Jessna smirked. "We had a little luck."

Dionysus grinned, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers. Tyche appeared beside him.

"Did someone say luck?"

I laughed. "It's great to see you, Tyche."

"Likewise! What do I sense? Is that a breeze coming on? I have a feeling it's going to pick up. Don't worry about the archers."

I smiled. "That changes my plans. I'll use Zeus’ power to eliminate the spearmen."

"Are you sure that will work?" my dad asked.
