The Blood of Olympus - Dog-Men

NICO WASN’T SURE whether to kick himself or Will Solace.

If he hadn’t been so distracted bickering with the son of Apollo, he would never have allowed the enemy to get so close.

As the dog-headed men barreled forward, Nico raised his sword. He doubted he had the strength left to win, but before he could attack them, Will let out a piercing taxicab whistle.

All six dog-men dropped their weapons, grabbed their ears, and fell down in agony.

“Dude.” Cecil opened his mouth to pop his ears. “What the actual Hades? A little warning next time.”

“It’s even worse for the dogs.” Will shrugged. “One of my few musical talents. I do a really awful ultrasonic whistle.”

Nico didn’t complain. He waded through the dog-men, jabbing them with his sword. They dissolved into shadows.

Octavian and the other Romans seemed too stunned to react.

“My—my elite guard!” Octavian looked around for sympathy. “Did you see what he did to my elite guard?”

“Some dogs need to be put down.” Nico took a step forward. “Like you.”
