![]() ![]() Your punishment was to fall in love with your own reflection.” “I love me so, so much,” Narcissus agreed. ![]() Nemesis was the goddess who cursed you, because you broke so many hearts. I am much too important to die.” “You died staring at yourself,” Hazel insisted. “Do you remember dying?” Narcissus frowned. “The only girl who cares what happens to you, apparently,” Hazel said. “Echo brought us here to help you.ĝidn’t you,Ğcho?” “Echo,” saidĞcho. “Narcissus, listen.” Hazel kept her sword at the ready. “I am so hot,” Narcissus said sympathetically. THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS THE MARK OF ATHENA PDF FULL“He’s so full of himself! How can you possibly like him?” “Like him,”Ğcho sighed, still waving her hand in front of his face. “And you can’t take his bronze mirror! That’s what keeps him here!” “You’re all ridiculous,” Hazel said. “He won’t marry you,” said the iPhone girl. ![]() “He won’t sign your sword,” the poster nymph complained. The nymph fan club tried to shove Hazel out of the way, but she drew her cavalry sword and forced them back. Leo had lost sight ofĞcho again, but now he realized she was kneeling on the other side of Narcissus, waving her hand in front of his face as if trying to break his concentration. “Would you sign my poster?” “No, sign my shirt!” “No, sign my forehead!” “No, sign my-” “Stop it!” Hazel snapped. “Marry me, Narcissus!” “No, me!” another cried. ![]() The color flatters me, don’t you think?” “Oh, gods, yes!” a nymph screamed. Thank you.” He set the mirror down and returned his attention to the pond. “Even you carry a picture of me? I don’t blame you. “I’ll trade you.” Narcissus took the mirror, reluctantly, and admired himself. Or here…” He reached in his tool belt and pulled out a simple mirror the size of a monocle. “But if I took the bronze, you could still see yourself in the water. Wow…I am so great.” “Yeah,” Leo muttered. He stretched out a hand longingly to touch the water, but held back. “You do realize that you’re looking at yourself in the water, right?” “I am so great,” Narcissus sighed. She wrinkled her nose as if she’d come to the conclusion that Narcissus smelled worse than he looked. But they were swooning and nodding in agreement. He’s so gorgeous.” Leo looked around to see if the nymphs were laughing. “Happy to move, but if you’re not using it, could I just take that sheet of bronze?” “No,” Narcissus said. If Leo could get it back to the ship, it would be just enough bronze for his repairs. This piece looked like it might have been meant as a shield for a god, but it hadn’t turned out properly. Hephaestus would lose his temper when projects didn’t work out,Īnd he’d toss his scraps into the mortal world. He’d heard that most pieces were cast off from his dad’s various workshops. What it was doing in this pond, Leo wasn’t sure.Ĝelestial bronze fell to earth in odd places. But there was no doubt the metal was a sheet of hammered Celestial bronze, roughly circular, about five feet in diameter. Compared to Narcissus, he looked like an undergrown troll. Leo didn’t have any desire to stare at himself. His own reflection rippled next to Narcissus’s on the surface of the submerged bronze. “You’re ruining the view.” Leo looked in the water. What’s up?” “Could you move?” Narcissus asked distractedly. “Ladies, hold it! I need to ask Narcissus something.” Slowly the nymphs settled down and went back to taking pictures. “Those are mine!” The whole mob began arguing while Narcissus stared at the lake, ignoring them. “No, he obviously came here because he likes the wildflowers!” another said. You’re just the rock nymph.” “Well, I’m the grass nymph,” another protested. “He’s like the best!Ěnd he’s in my territory.” “Oh, stop it, Laiea,” her friend said.
