Maximus and the others had moved through the sewers for hours with Pan leading the way. The wild god had healed ridiculously quickly for someone who had been shot by a goddess only a while ago, but then he was a god himself, so it was to be expected.

They moved carefully through the sewers, knee-deep in sludge and the repulsive aroma bordering on painful. The sewers were big enough for even Pan and was built like a maze, but Pan seemed to know the way, so they quietly followed. Max had a million questions for the wild god, but he figured there would be time for that later.

Max’s more immediate worry was about Mia. Artemis had shot her left leg and she had passed out from the pain. They had done the best they could in treating the wound. Energy bullets wounds didn’t bleed much, the heat from the laser bullets usually also acted in cauterizing the wound to a degree, but damn were they painful! Rex was currently carrying her in his arms where she lay unconscious, randomly twitching at times and her body temperature was through the roof. Maximus would never be able to forgive himself if anything happened to her and the last thing they had done was fight. This dark thought consumed him in a melancholy of self-hate.

After nearly three hours, they came across a manhole cover that was big enough for even Rex to fit through, but not Pan. So Pan began to revert back to his form as when they knew him as Puck. But this wasn’t completely true either. He was the same size he was as before, but he looked a lot younger. He looked like a satyr in his prime, a bit taller and a lot slimmer than the Puck they knew, his fur too had magically grown in reverse, revealing more of his face which unlike before looked more graceful, and Max hated to admit it, a bit pretty.

“That’s new,” said Hedger.

Pan turned and smiled at them. Not the drunk smile he had before nor the demonic one he had as the beast king, but the dainty smile that wouldn’t look out of place on a teenage heart throb.

“I can transform my body into many forms, even changing how old I look. This is me at my prime, though I find that this form of mine attracts too much attention while travelling,” said Pan.

The pretty boy Pan, removed the cast iron manhole cover with ease and they had never been happier to get a breath of fresh air in their lives. They managed to find a small stream nearby, where they washed the muck off their legs and refilled on water. They seemed to be out of the woods now and were standing in a large grassy field, and the moon shone brightly above them.

“There…” Pan said pointing towards a small incline of jagged rocks. “Those are part of the Stagag hills. We can take this dirt road to reach its foot, though far from where Hypnos said to meet.
