Chapter 8:

Which Titan?

Paul Halliwell

"Alright." I said once we had settled ourselves around the table. "Alright. The first flame of mankind. Alright."

"Will you please stop saying that?" Eve snapped. I nodded slowly.

"Well, I think there are only two possibilities." I paused, but nobody objected, so I continued. "The first flame of mankind; that's either with the Titan Prometheus or the Titan Hyperion."

"Prometheus is the Titan that allegedly gave mankind fire, right?" Poppy asked. Before I could answer, she continued. "And Hyperion is the Titan of Light. So those do seem like the most likely candidates."

"But which one do we go to first?" Eve asked. "And, even if we choose one, how on earth are we going to find them?"

At that moment, Wyatt burst through the door. He paused when he saw us. "What are you three doing here?"

"Wyatt." Eve said suddenly. She stood up and walked over to him. "We need your help. If we were - hypothetically - looking for the Titans Prometheus or Hyperion, where would we find them?"

"Hm." Wyatt pondered. "I have no clue. You could check the Book of Shadows, although I doubt they'll be mentioned. Maybe a book at magic school?"

"Okay; thanks!"

Eve walked out of the room, obviously expecting us to follow. I motioned to Poppy and we almost sprinted out of the room.

"Why didn't you tell him?" I said immediately. "About the quest. He could have helped."

"Because," Eve began. "I don't think we're allowed to ask for help. It seems like...well, like cheating. I don't think the Olympians would appreciate that."

"Fine," I said quickly. "I'll go to magic school and search for any sort of-"

"No, we should go together." Poppy said sternly. I had never heard her sound so sure. "It'll be easier to find something that way."

"Okay."

"Where are you going?" I heard Wyatt saying as I grabbed their hands and we orbed to Magic School.

We orbed into the library ro find it empty.

"Where is everyone?" Eve asked.

"No idea." I replied. "But at least now we can look for a book without having anyone asking questions."

We split up and began searching through the shelves. I figured it would take us hours to search through even part of the library, but by chance I stumbled upon the Greek mythology section. A book covered intricately in gold caught my eye, so I picked it up.

"Into the Hearth..." I read the title aloud. I opened the cover and saw a contents page. Page 34 led to a chapter called Prometheus and the fires of the Gods.

"Guys?" I said. Poppy and Eve turned around the corner in response. "I guess we know which Titan we're going to first." I said as I showed them the page.
