Than searched the sea for signs of Therese and Artemis as he flew with his souls from a sunken ship, but he saw no sign of them. Why hadn’t they answered his prayers?

Therese? Where are you? He reached out again.

Sorry, she finally replied. The tidal wave had me too flustered.

What tidal wave?

You won’t believe what we’ve discovered, she rattled on. We’ve found the island. It’s hidden by a cloud above the Denmark Straight.

Than disintegrated and flew toward that location. I’m on my way.

Don’t. You’ll attract attention.

Therese was right. He didn’t want to be seen by Zeus. He hovered several miles away and used his excellent vision to investigate the region. Thick, dark clouds gathered above the straight.

Are you in the middle of those clouds? he asked.

Amphitrite cloaked us. Dione and Callisto are with us as well. You won’t believe what Polyphemus is doing. I actually feel sorry for him. Zeus is horrible for making him do it. We have to stop him.

Before Than could ask what Therese meant, a flash of lightning struck. It lit up the clouds with a halo of fire before fading into a thunderous roar. Then, like eagles toward their prey, the five goddesses fell toward the sea. Than god travelled to them, but they plunged into the water like cannons before he could catch them.

He struck through the water and disintegrated into five, each racing after a goddess toward the bottom of the sea. Although he managed to reach Callisto, Artemis, and Therese, a swarm of sharks circled protectively around Amphitrite and Dione, and when he tried to pass, they opened their jaws threateningly.

“I want to help them,” he said to them. “I swear on the River Styx.”

With his oath, the sharks allowed him to pass, and he took the two sea goddesses. Then all five of him made a bee line for Poseidon’s Palace, all the while praying to the other gods for help.

He wished he could god travel, but he wouldn’t dare risk the safety of the goddesses, so he swam as hard as he could though the Atlantic toward Morocco. He turned east through the Mediterranean Sea and cut through the Strait of Messina toward the Ionian Sea, but as soon as he did, he was sorry. He had forgotten about Scylla and Charybdis and their hatred for Amphitrite. Charybdis sucked in a mouthful of water and then blew it out in a powerful whirlpool that tossed him and the five goddesses toward the rocks off the coast of Italy. Scylla, with her six long necks and grisly heads and her twelve dangling legs, lurched from her cave and pounced on him and Amphitrite. Her claws dug into his skin, sending sharp pains up his arms and legs.

Than held fiercely to the goddesses, who remained limp in his arms, as he struggled against Scylla’s attack. Scylla’s yelping cries pierced his eardrums. He cried out with rage against her and knocked her back toward the rocky bank. She recovered and lunged toward him,
