- Piper’s visions were right, the suitors were now back, haunting the place where
- they’d died...
- Around the courtyard, ghosts and ghouls rose to their feet and drew weapons.
- ‘Beware!’ Piper yelled at the crowd.
- The ghouls and ghosts closed in – two hundred of them facing Jason in
- anticipation, as if he might lead them in the national anthem.
- The hunter who never rests.
- Jason didn’t know who that was, but he had to warn Reyna and Nico.
- Which meant he had to get out of here alive.
- He looked at Annabeth and Piper. Both stood ready, waiting for his cue.
- THE FIGHT W AS GOING GREAT – until he got stabbed.
- Jason slashed his gladius in a wide arc, vaporizing the nearest suitors, then he
- vaulted onto the table and jumped right over Antinous’s head. In midair he
- willed his blade to extend into a javelin – a trick he’d never tried with this sword
- – but somehow he knew it would work.
- He landed on his feet holding a six-foot-long pilum. As Antinous turned to
- face him, Jason thrust the Imperial gold point through the ghoul’s chest.
- Antinous looked down incredulously.
- ‘You –
- ’
- ‘Enjoy the Fields of Punishment.
- ’ Jason yanked out his pilum and Antinous
- crumbled to dirt.
- Jason kept fighting, spinning his javelin – slicing through ghosts, knocking
- ghouls off their feet.
- Across the courtyard, Annabeth fought like a demon, too. Her drakon-bone
- sword scythed down any suitors stupid enough to face her.
- Over by the sand fountain, Piper had also drawn her sword – the jagged
- bronze blade she’d taken from Zethes the Boread. She stabbed and parried with
- her right hand,
- Soon no more enemies faced him. The remaining ghosts began to disappear
- on their own. Annabeth cut down Hasdrubal the Carthaginian, and Jason made
- the mistake of sheathing his sword
- BoO ch.2,3,4
