The beautiful design and the vast open space reminded her of Mount Olympus. Grand buildings made her feel bettermaybe because being in a place so permanent made her feel more permanent. She had just passed Sweet on America the candy shop where Percys mom used to work and was thinking about going inside to buy some blue candy for old times sake when she saw Athena studying the subway map on the wall. Mother Annabeth couldnt believe it. She hadnt seen her mom in monthsnot since Zeus had closed the gates of Olympus and forbidden all communication with demigods. Many times Annabeth had tried to call on her mom anyway pleading for guidance sending up burnt offerings with every meal at camp. Shed had no response. Now here was Athena dressed in jeans and hiking boots and a red flannel shirt her dark hair cascading over her shoulders. She held a backpack and a walking stick like she was prepared for a long journey. I must return home Athena murmured studying the map. The way is complex. I wish Odysseus were here. He would understand. Mom Annabeth said. Athena The goddess turned. She seemed to look right through Annabeth with no recognition. That was my name the goddess said dreamily. Before they sacked my city took my identity made me this. She looked at her clothes in disgust. I must return home. Annabeth stepped back in shock. Youreyoure Minerva Dont call me that The goddesss gray eyes flared with anger. I used to carry a spear and a shield. I held victory in the palm of my hand. I was so much more than this. Mom. Annabeths voice trembled. Its me Annabeth. Your daughter. My daughter Athena repeated. Yes my ren will avenge me. They must destroy the Romans. Horrible dishonorable copycat Romans. Hera argued that we must keep the two camps apart. I said No let them fight. Let my ren destroy the usurpers. Annabeths heartbeat thumped in her ears. You wanted that But youre wise. You understand warfare better than any Once the goddess said. Replaced. Sacked. Looted like a trophy and carted offaway from my beloved homeland. I lost so much. I swore I would never forgive. Neither would my ren. She focused more closely on Annabeth. You are my daughter Yes. The goddess fished something from the pocket of her shirtan oldfashioned subway tokenand pressed it into Annabeths hand. Follow the Mark of Athena the goddess said. Avenge me. Annabeth had looked at the coin. As she watched it changed from a New York subway token to an ancient silver drachma the kind used by Athenians.
It showed an owl Athenas sacred animal with an olive branch on one side and a Greek inscription on the other. The Mark of Athena. At the time Annabeth had had no idea what it meant. She didnt understand why her mom was acting like this. Minerva or not she shouldnt be so confused. Mom She tried to make her tone as reasonable as possible. Percy is missing. I need your help. She had started to explain Heras plan for bringing the camps together to battle Gaea and the giants but the goddess stamped her walking stick against the marble floor. Never she said. Anyone who helps Rome must perish. If you would join them you are no of mine. You have already failed me. Mother I care nothing about this Percy. If he has gone over to the Romans let him perish. Kill him. Kill all the Romans. Find the Mark follow it to its source. Witness how Rome has disgraced me and pledge your vengeance. Athena isnt the goddess of revenge. Annabeths nails bit into her palms. The silver coin seemed to grow warmer in her hand. Percy is everything to me. And revenge is everything to me the goddess snarled.
A knock on her door made her jump. She hoped it might be Percy but instead Frank Zhang poked his head in. Um sorry he said. Could I She was so startled to see him it took her a moment to realize he wanted to come in. Sure she said. Yes. He stepped inside looking around the cabin. There wasnt much to see. On her desk sat a stack of books a journal and pen and a picture of her dad flying his Sopwith Camel biplane grinning and giving the thumbsup. Annabeth liked that photo. It reminded her of the time shed felt closest to him when hed strafed an army of monsters with Celestial bronze machine guns just to protect herpretty much the best present a girl could hope for. Hanging from a hook on the wall was her New York Yankees cap her most prized possession from her mom. Once the cap had had the power to turn its wearer invisible. Since Annabeths argument with Athena the cap had lost its magic. Annabeth wasnt sure why but shed stubbornly brought it along on the quest. Every morning she would try it on hoping it would work again. So far it had only served as a reminder of her mothers wrath. Otherwise her cabin was bare. She kept it clean and simple which helped her to think. Percy didnt believe it because she always made excellent grades but like most demigods she was ADHD. When there were too many distractions in her personal space she was never able to focus. SoFrank she ventured. What can I do for you Out of all the s on the ship Frank was the one she thought least likely to pay her a visit. She didnt feel any less confused when he blushed and pulled his Chinese handcuffs out of his pocket. I dont like being in the dark about this he muttered. Could you show me the trick I didnt feel comfortable asking anyone else. Annabeth processed his words with a slight delay. WaitFrank was asking her for help Then it dawned on her: of course Frank was embarrassed. Leo had been razzing him pretty hard. Nobody liked being a laughingstock. Franks determined expression said he never wanted that to happen again. He wanted to understand the puzzle without the iguana solution. Annabeth felt strangely honored. Frank trusted her not to make fun of him. Besides she had a soft spot for anyone who was seeking knowledgeeven about something as simple as Chinese handcuffs. She patted the bunk next to her. Absolutely. Sit down. Frank sat on the edge of the mattress as if preparing for a quick escape. Annabeth took the Chinese handcuffs and held them next to her computer. She hit the key for an infrared scan. A few seconds later a 3D model of the Chinese handcuffs appeared on the screen. She turned the laptop so that Frank could see. How did you do that he marveled. Cuttingedge Ancient Greek technology she said. Okay look. The structure is a cylindrical biaxial braid so it has excellent resilience. She manipulated the image so it squeezed in and out like an accordion. When you put your fingers inside it loosens. But when you try to remove them the circumference shrinks as the braid catches and tightens. Theres no way you can pull free by struggling. Frank stared at her blankly. But whats the answer Well She showed him some of her calculationshow the handcuffs could resist tearing under incredible stress depending on the material used in the braid. Pretty amazing for a woven structure right Doctors use it for traction and electrical contractors Uh but the answer Annabeth laughed. You dont fight against the handcuffs. You push your fingers in not out. That loosens the braid. Oh. Frank tried it. It worked. Thanks butcouldnt you have just shown me on the handcuffs without the 3D program and the calculations Annabeth hesitated. Sometimes wisdom came from strange places even from giant teenaged goldfish. I guess youre right. That was silly. I learned something too. Frank tried the handcuffs again. Its easy when you know the solution. Many of the best traps are simple Annabeth said. You just have to think about it and hope your victim doesnt. Frank nodded. He seemed reluctant to leave. You know Annabeth said Leo doesnt intend to be mean. Hes just got a big mouth. When people make him nervous he uses humor as a defense. Frank frowned. Why would I make him nervous Youre twice his size. Yo
Which of us is wiser Something is wrong with you. Whats happened Rome happened the goddess said bitterly. See what they have done making a Roman of me. They wish me to be their goddess Then let them taste their own evil. Kill them . No Then you are nothing. The goddess turned to the subway map. Her expression softened becoming confused and unfocused. If I could find the routethe way home then perhaps But no. Avenge me or leave me. You are no of mine. Annabeths eyes stung. She thought of a thousand horrible things she wanted to say but she couldnt. She had turned and fled. Shed tried to throw away the silver coin but it simply reappeared in her pocket the way Riptide did for Percy. Unfortunately Annabeths drachma had no magical powersat least nothing useful. It only gave her nightmares and no matter what she tried she couldnt get rid of it. Now sitting in her cabin aboard the Argo II she could feel the coin grog warm in her pocket. She stared at the model of the Parthenon on her computer screen and thought about the argument with Athena. Phrases shed heard over the last few days swirled in her head: A talented friend ready for her visitor. No one will retrieve that statue. Wisdoms daughter walks alone. She was afraid she finally understood what it all meant. She prayed to the gods that she was wrong.
