Before Hip left his parents, another surprise came to him while he was escorting souls to the Elysian Fields. Odysseus approached him and said, with a blank look on his face, “The goddess of animal companions has commanded me to speak with you.”

In his father’s chambers, Hypnos turned to his parents. “Wait! I have a message!”

Back in the Fields of Elysium, he put his hand on the shoulder of old Odysseus and asked, “What does she say?”

Odysseus bowed and said, “She and Thanatos, along with Hecate’s familiars, have been taken to a cave beneath the highest mountain on the island of Crete.”

Hypnos thanked the old demigod and again, turned to his parents with a joyous grin. “I know where Thanatos is!”

Cybele smiled when Hip conveyed the news from Odysseus.

“Metis must have withdrawn from counseling Zeus,” Cybele said. “Perhaps, even in his belly, she’s aware of Athena’s abduction.”

“What leads you to this conclusion?” Hades asked.

“Zeus has imprisoned Thanatos and the others in his infant home, forgetting about the close proximity of my Curetes,” Cybele explained.

“I’m not familiar with your Curetes,” Hip said.

“My dancing warriors,” Cybele replied. “When Rhea hid Zeus in the cave of Mount Ida, my Curetes crashed their shields together to drown out the sound of Zeus’s cries, so Kronos would suspect nothing. The Curetes live near that mountain still.”

“Can they help us?” Persephone leaned toward Cybele with a hopeful expression.

“Of course,” Cybele replied. “But first, we need a plan.”
