The Lost Hero blog post #8

During this part of the book, the three demigods, Jason, Piper and Leo have encountered many monsters and have defeated them, including; the evil sorceress Medea, who trapped them in her mall, and almost made Jason and Leo kill each other under Medea's evil spell. They were also attacked by a mother Cyclops and her two sons, that apparently really love salsa. After defeating the Cyclopes, they saw that the monsters that they defeated regenerated much faster than they had been regenerating a couple of days ago. This confirmed their worst fear, the monsters were somehow not staying dead in the underworld and were coming back to the real world in a shorter period of time.

 They met the evil king Midas who turns anything he touches into gold, leaving with a finally awake Coach Hedge, who they had rescued in Medea's mall, and a goldified Piper who they took to the river to ungoldify because even though the curse of King Midas is said to be permanent, if you pour water on it, or just let it rain on what was goldified, it will go back to being a normal everyday object or whatever it had been.

 When I left off, the demigods were going to meet Aeolus, the master of the winds, who knew everything, including the location of the Wolf House. Where they would meet the evil snow goddess Khione and where they would find Hera, the queen of the gods. Unfortunately, Aeolus was part of the group of gods that turned on the rest and sided with Gaea so their whole plan of getting his help went south very quickly.
