Piper vs Gemini

	She  began  to  sing:  ‘Summertime’,  one  of  her  dad’s  favourites. Kekrops  stared  at  her  in  wonder.  He  began  to  sway.
	Piper  kept  the  snake  king’s  gaze.  “What  are  your  real  intentions?”
	“To  deceive  you,”  he  said  in  a  trance,  still  swaying.  “We  hope  to  lead  you  into  the  tunnels  and destroy  you.”

	“So  you  could  guide  us  through  your  tunnels,”  Piper  said.  “That’s  also  true?” Kekrops  frowned.  “Yes  …”
	“And  if  you  ordered  your  people  not  to  attack  us,”  she  said,  “they  would  obey?”
	“Yes,  but  …’  Kekrops  shuddered.  ‘Yes,  they  would  obey.  Three  of  you  at  most  could  go  without attracting  the  attention  of  the  giants.”
