CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO OF DOOM
Rune, Caitlyn, and Fred formed a protective circle around Roy.

"You're not going to get rid of him," Caitlyn said. "And there's no way I'm working for someone who'd throw him to the wolves."

"Me either," Rune said. "And for the record, you're not taking Fred or Noatak or Kalései either."

"You don't exactly have a choice," Edison said. "Dana willingly and knowingly sold all of you to me, so that I may do with you as I wish. And what I wish is that Waterboy dies, I sell the Man in Black, I keep the boat and the Beast Ring, and both Rune and Caitlyn work for me."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. All the steel plates on the walls retracted as a bespectacled woman stepped inside the office.

"Nilstrim," Edison said. "What do you want?"

"Sorry about this," Nilstrim amended. "But there's a former student causing some havoc on the second floor - Dana Peroll. I tried stopping her, but she wouldn't listen and she drew a sword on me. Is there any chance you could get her to listen?"

Edison sighed. "Fine." He left the room and went toward the stairs.

"With all due respect, that kind of behavior doesn't sound like Dana," Roy said.

"Neither does her working with Edison," Nilstrim whispered. "But Edison's not here now, so run while you have the chance."

"Sweet," Fred said. "Thanks."

The five of them ran outside. "Why are you helping us?" Rune asked.

"I know Dana," Nilstrim said. "And I know she would never voluntarily work for Edison. You see, Edison is a demigod. A son of Jupiter, to be precise. Dana hates demigods as a rule, so there must be some sort of mind control in effect right now. I need you four to help me break that control."

"Alright," Rune said. "So let's win this."
