Part 2: “Carrying Fire”

Part 2, Chapter 25 Summary

The group splits up to go to the museum—Lore traveling with Athena. On the way, they discuss the aegis and the poem, Athena expressing her displeasure at the House of Perseus allowing it to be stolen. Lore keeps quiet, knowing her greatest trial will come when Athena finds out Wrath “didn’t have the aegis after all” (223). In the middle of the conversation, Lore feels a weapon against her back. It’s a hunter from the House of Theseus, there to capture Lore for Wrath. Lore disables him, and Athena finishes him off.

Part 2, Chapter 26 Summary

At the museum, Lore and Athena find Castor, Miles, and dead security guards who were likely murdered by Dionysus. Castor stays on lookout duty while Athena, Lore, and Miles search for Dionysus. They find a trail of destruction leading through doors “that had been kicked in by force” and follow the trail until they hear booming crashes (230). A wounded Dionysus rummages through boxes in an abandoned storage room. Before Lore can figure out how to approach him, Miles’s phone rings loudly. Dionysus punches through the wall and grabs Lore by the throat.
