Piper vs Frost

	Khione grabbed her wrist. Ice spread over Piper’s arm. The blade of Katoptris turned white.
	The goddess’s face was only six inches from hers. Khione smiled, knowing she had won.

	Suddenly her chest grew warm—not with anger or fear, but with love for that dragon; and Jason, who was depending on her; and her friends trapped below; and Leo, who was lost and would need her help.
	Maybe love was no match for ice…but Piper had used it to wake a metal dragon. Mortals did superhuman feats in the name of love all the time. Mothers lifted cars to save their children. And Piper was more than just mortal. She was a demigod. A hero.
	The ice melted on her blade. Her arm steamed under Khione’s grip.
	“Still underestimating me,” Piper told the goddess. “You really need to work on that.”
