“Hang on! I said I’d help!” she grumbled. “I didn’t say I’d take all of them.”

Tom stuffed a pile of wood under his arm. “Thanks, Hermon. I think Priam’s palace might be just the direction we need to head towards!”

Together, Tom, Isis, Cleo and Hermon trudged through the moonlit warren of alleys and silent squares. Isis told Hermon a story about having travelled from Egypt to visit her uncle, a trader who had sailed across the sea, selling exotic goods, until he met a Trojan woman and settled down. The story was so convincing, even Tom started to believe it!

Finally they ambled down an olive tree-lined road that led to the back of the palace.

“If you don’t mind helping me into the servants’ quarters with these,” Hermon said, “I can probably sort you out with some goat’s milk and bread for your trouble.”

Tom couldn’t believe their luck. He nodded vigorously. “You bet,” he said. “Let’s go.”

Hermon led them into the hustle and bustle of the palace kitchens. Even at that late hour, servants darted to and fro, preparing food by the light of flaming torches. But just as Tom and Isis piled their logs next to the fire in the centre of the room, the sound of angry men’s voices started to bounce off the stone walls. Tom strained to hear where the sound was coming from.

“I’m going to burn this palace down, and everyone in it!” one of the men bellowed.

Were they Greek soldiers? Tom wondered in alarm. Oh no! How would they ever find the amulet if the palace was under attack?
