They didnât have long.
Annabeth had barely finished coaching Sadie when the ruined building shook, debris exploded outward, and Serapis emerged, roaring and cursing.
Startled emergency workers scattered from the scene, but they didnât seem to notice the fifteen-foot-tall god marching away from the wreckage, his three-headed staff spewing steam and red beams of magic into the sky.
Serapis headed straight in Sadie and Annabethâs direction.
âReady?â Annabeth asked.
Sadie exhaled. âDo I have a choice?â
âHere.â Annabeth gave her the square of ambrosia. âDemigod food. It might restore your strength.â
âMight, eh?â
âIf I can use your healing potion, you should be able to eat ambrosia.â
âCheers, then.â Sadie took a bite. Color returned to her cheeks. Her eyes brightened. âTastes like my granâs scones.â
Annabeth smiled. âAmbrosia always tastes like your favorite comfort food.â
âThatâs a shame.â Sadie took another bite and swallowed. âGranâs scones are always burnt and rather horrid. Ahâhere comes our friend.â
Serapis kicked a fire truck out of his way and lumbered toward the train tracks. He didnât seem to have spotted Sadie and Annabeth yet, but Annabeth guessed he could sense them. He scanned the horizon, his expression full of murderous rage.
âHere we go.â Annabeth donned her Yankees cap.
Sadieâs eyes widened. âWell done. Youâre quite invisible. You wonât start shooting sparks, will you?â
âWhy would I do that?â
âOh...my brother cast an invisibility spell once. Didnât work out so well. Anyway, good luck.â
âYou, too.â
Annabeth dashed to one side as Sadie waved her arms and yelled, âOi, Serapis!â
âDEATH TO YOU!â the god bellowed.
He barreled forward, his massive feet making craters in the asphalt.
As theyâd planned, Sadie backed toward the beach. Annabeth crouched behind an abandoned car and waited for Serapis to pass. Invisible or not, she wasnât going to take any chances.
âCome on!â Sadie taunted the god. âIs that the fastest you can run, you overgrown village idiot?â
âRAR!â The god charged past Annabethâs position.
She ran after Serapis, who caught up with Sadie at the edge of the surf.
The god raised his glowing staff, all three monstrous heads belching steam. âAny last words, magician?â
âFor you? Yes!â Sadie whirled her arms in movements that couldâve been magicâor possibly kung fu.
âMeana aedei thea!â She chanted the lines Annabeth had taught her. âEn...ponte pathen algae!â
Annabeth winced. Sadieâs pronunciation was pretty bad. Sheâd gotten the first line right, more or less: Sing of rage, O goddess. But the second line shouldâve been: In the sea, suffer misery. Instead, Sadie had said something like: In the sea, suffer moss!
Fortunately, the sound of Ancient Greek was enough to shock Serapis. The god wavered, his three-headed staff still raised. âWhat are youââ
âIsis, hear me!â Sadie continued. âAthena, to my aid!â She rattled off some more phrasesâsome Greek, some Ancient Egyptian.
Meanwhile, Annabeth sneaked up behind the god, her eyes on the dagger still impaled in the monsterâs shell. If Serapis would just lower his staff...
âAlpha, Beta, Gamma!â Sadie cried. âGyros, spanakopita. Presto!â She beamed in triumph. âThere. Youâre done for!â
Serapis stared at her, clearly baffled. The red tattoos on his skin dimmed. A few of the symbols turned into question marks and sad faces.
