"Just keep our forces together."

 

We'd set up at the reservoir for good reason. I concentrated on the water and

felt its power surging through me.

 

I advanced toward Hyperion, running over the top of the water. Yeah, buddy. Two

can play that game.

 

Twenty feet away, Hyperion raised his sword. His eyes were just like I'd seen in

my dream — as gold as Kronos's but brighter, like miniature suns.

 

"The sea god's brat," he mused. "You're the one who trapped Atlas beneath the

sky again?"

 

"It wasn't hard," I said. "You Titans are about as bright as my gym socks."

 

Hyperion snarled. " Y ou want bright?"

 

His body ignited in a column of light and heat. I looked away, but I was still

blinded.

 

Instinctively I raised Riptide — just in time. Hyperion's blade slammed against

mine. The shock wave sent a ten- foot ring of water across the surface of the

lake.
