“YA” I yelled to Astéri as she came out of a nosedive
“I’m not sure I like this!” Robin yelled over the wind
“Calm down! As long as you trust me, you can trust Dusk” I replied
“Fine. But I still don’t think this is the best stealth technique” Robin said
“Who sinabi this was for stealth?” I laughed
“You did!” He yelled
“I lied to get you up here” I yelled back
“I admit that was clever cause you would never have gotten me up here otherwise” Robin replied
“Isn’t the view beautiful” I murmured
“Yeah. Perfect for a ride on mythical horses” Robin commented
I noticed the sun seemed to stay almost still, not going down for a couple segundos after it was looking like it was half under water.
“Thanks Apollo” I whispered to myself.
The sun seemed to glow brighter and I realized Apollo heard me. I shook my head clear. Right now, I needed to keep teaching Robin how to fly.
“Robin, I think you’re ready to speed it up a little” I said, grinning.
He smiled back then plunged into a nosedive. I plunged after him, gaining speed to pass sa pamamagitan ng him.
“Follow me!” I yelled over the wind as I headed to the forest. We swooped and dived around branches and vines and curved and dodged around trunks. Finally, we came to a cliff over-looking the sea, a glassy green blue slate of water. When I landed, I got off Astéri and Robin followed my lead with Dusk, her twin. I sat at the edge of the cliff, staring out into the open water. Robin sat down beside me and then looked over so he could talk to me. I did not look back.
“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to just jump off a cliff and not get hurt?” I asked quietly, still not looking at him
“No, not really. Why?” he asked
“Because I know a way to do that: jump off buildings, bridges, cliffs and even mountains without getting hurt. It is very dangerous though” I murmured
“Sarah, don’t even think about doing it then. I can’t lose another loved one” Robin sinabi seriously
“Robin?” I asked
“Yes?” He responded
“Do you trust me? I mean like fully trust me?” I asked
“Of course. Why else would I be riding Pegasus with you?” he replied
I lifted my hand toward his face, toward his mask. He lightly grabbed my wrist to stop me. I looked him in the eye, then gently pulled my wrist free and reached for his mask. Right as I touched it, Wally burst through the bushes and my hand went straight into my lap.
“Perfect timing Wally” I sinabi sarcastically
“This is no time for sarcasm Sarah. Something has come up at the Empire State building. A lady is there, crying, begging for you to come. She sinabi that if you don’t come sa pamamagitan ng tonight, all is lost.” Wally sinabi seriously
“I’m on it” I sinabi as I ran for Astéri.
“She sinabi you need to bring a tracker or a hunter or someone who will be able to find someone important to her” Wally added
“Did she give any hints on whom?” I demanded
“She sinabi a riddle: look for the one who can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a kama but never sleeps. She also sinabi to the one with the mask and the flying horse, so Robin. She said: whatever you do, don’t trust the dark.” Wally warned
“I’m not sure I like this!” Robin yelled over the wind
“Calm down! As long as you trust me, you can trust Dusk” I replied

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.
"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.
Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.
"Let me guess, you want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.
"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.
Duh, duh duh!
