Moments later, the train thunked to a gaseous, wheezing halt.

Vacheron appeared in front of it and addressed the eight remaining champions in their cages.

‘Hello, maggots! Rejoice, for today, you are all the recipients of a great and rare honour. Before the Fifth Challenge begins this afternoon, you have all been invited to a lunch hosted by Lord Hades himself. Here the rewards for the last challenge will be dispensed. But we can’t have you dining with royalty covered in blood and sweat and smelling like animals. Clean yourselves.’

Buckets of water and sponges were brought to each carriage.

Vacheron himself brought a bucket to Jack’s hostage carriage.

He sneered down his nose at Jack. ‘For some reason, you have earned a special pre-luncheon audience.’

‘With who?’ Jack said.

‘A king has asked to meet you in person,’ Vacheron said. ‘To see you for himself.’

‘Which king?’

‘His.’ Vacheron jerked his nose at E-147. ‘He asked for you and the minotaur to meet with him.’

‘A minotaur king?’ Jack said, thinking. Then he looked up sharply. ‘I want to bring one of my people with me,’ he said, glancing at Alby.

‘For this audience, bring whomever you like. I care not.’ Vacheron waved a hand dismissively. ‘But for your lunch with Hades, you come alone.’
