Lucas stared at me with his mouth like an "O". He stared at the headless Medusa, then at me. "How'd you? Are you?"
I wanted to answer him, but I was too shocked about the fact that I cut someone's head off. "Spit it out!" I finally told him.
"I'm a son of Zeus." Lucas said.
I looked at his yellow and white clothes. "That would explain the tacky clothing!" I laughed.
Suddenly, thunder boomed. I saw Mr. Smith walking down the hall with a thunderbolt? Anyway, he seemed very serious and odd. His bald head grew brown, ruffled hair and his tan skin turned white. His suit turned into battle armor with lightning engraved in it. The whole hall smelled horrible.
Lucas bowed down. "Father, I'm sorry my friend has made fun of you."
Mr. Smith's serious look softened. He turned to me. "Ahh, Annabeth?"
I knelt. "You're... actually Zeus? Lucas wasn't ly..."
Mr. Smith cut me off. "Does Lucas lie? Does a son of Zeus lie? By the River Styx, only Hermes lies!"
I blinked. Zeus put a finger in green goo coming from the headless Medusa. Zeus tasted the goo. He grinned. Lucas and I made a face,
"Dad, that's gross!" Lucas gagged. He ran to the boy's bathroom.
"Monster's blood," Zeus turned to me. "Very nutritious for gods and demigods. It has the calcium, iron, protein..."
"Gods need nutrients? Aren't you so strong, you don't need any more nutrients?" I asked him. Zeus had a curious look in his eyes.
"And miss Annabeth, why are mortals so small and fragile?" Zeus turned to the entrance door. "Why us gods and goddesses need nutrients to become stronger. We eat monster's blood in yogurt, salads, hot dogs and it's a flavor in ice cream and popsicles. Popsicles are for the younger gods and goddesses actually..."
"You eat regular food?"
"Well, we do have this 'food of the gods' thing called nectar and ambrosia. It's new, though. But it is so powerful, if a demigod ate and drank it so much, their skin will disintegrate and bones will turn to ash."
Lucas came back. He looked kinda green still, but didn't gag anymore.
"I believe we should be going now," Zeus told us.
"Where?" Me and Lucas asked.
"The TCFD, of course!" Zeus grinned.
