“Reyna said, swinging her sword again. “Something they’ll hate worse than Apollo.” Her eyes lit up. “Apollo, sing for them!”
She might as well have kicked me in the face again. “My voice isn’t that bad!”
“But you’re the—You used to be the god of music, right? If you can charm a crowd, you should be able to repulse one. Pick a song these birds will hate!”
Great. Not only had Reyna laughed in my face and busted my nose, now I was her go-to guy for repulsiveness.”

“BRONZE UPON GOLD DESTROY THE TYRANT
EAST MEETS WEST AID THE WINGED
LEGIONS ARE REDEEMED UNDER GOLDEN HILLS

ONE AGAINST MANY HARKEN THE TRUMPETS
NEVER SPIRIT DEFEATED TURN RED TIDES
ANCIENT WORDS SPOKEN ENTER STRANGER’S HOME
SHAKING OLD FOUNDATIONS REGAIN LOST GLORY ”

“So,” I said, making a second attempt at nonchalance, “are you and Thalia, er…?”
Reyna raised an eyebrow. “Involved romantically?”
“Well, I just…I mean…Um…”
Oh, very smooth, Apollo. Have I mentioned I was once the god of poetry?
Reyna rolled her eyes. “If I had a denarius for every time I got that question…Aside from the fact that Thalia is in the Hunters, and thus sworn to celibacy…Why does a strong friendship always have to progress to romance? Thalia’s an excellent friend. Why would I risk messing that up?”

“I know what rhetorical means.” I made a mental note to double-check the word’s definition with Socrates the next time I was in Greece.”
