“That’s impossible! There’s no way she could have broken my barrier with her magic unless she…” He stared at Claymore. There was a brittle sound like a lightbulb popping, and the symbol on his sleeve splintered like glass, spraying shards of green light.Īlabaster dropped his cup. “I have enough power to keep her out for a while, but-” One of the symbols scribbled onto his right sleeve was glowing bright green.

Claymore couldn’t help being impressed.Īlabaster started to pour himself another cup of tea, then froze. His only companion was a Mistborn man who sprang from a three-by-five note card.

Monsters wanted to kill him, including one who was his own sister.

Now I can’t even sleep without her trying to break through my barriers.”Ĭlaymore studied the boy more closely and noticed dark circles under his eyes. My protective incantations have been pushed to their breaking point. She’s been wearing me down, forcing me to move from town to town. No matter how many times I kill her, she just won’t stay dead. She seems to have a personal vendetta against me. She’s a child of Hecate from the ancient days. As a lone half-blood, I’m a tempting target. “Since the moment I was exiled, I’ve fought and killed a lot of monsters that came after me. “I wish I knew.” Alabaster put down his empty cup. “And this monster Lamia is after you…why?” I’d never set foot in their camp, and if I did, it would only be to give that son of Poseidon what he deserves.” “But I’ll never bow to the Olympian gods after the atrocities they committed.

Which is another way of saying that if she didn’t join them, they’d make sure I died.”Ĭlaymore frowned. They would exile me forever from their favor and their camp-that was my punishment for having an attitude-but they would spare my life if Hecate rejoined them. But the gods decided that they didn’t want one rebellious goddess to spoil their victory, so they made her a deal. “That’s why she refused their offer?” Claymore guessed.Īlabaster took another sip of tea. Hecate lost more demigod children in that war than any other god.” I convinced most of them to fight…but I was the only one who survived. Hecate never had many children-but I was the strongest, so my siblings followed my lead. You see…I wasn’t the only child of Hecate serving under Kronos. Most of the minor gods accepted the peace deal as soon as the Olympians proposed it, but my mother didn’t. They would build us cabins at camp and pretend that they didn’t just blindly massacre us for resisting. “Camp Half-Blood decided that they would accept any children of minor gods.
