the pale skinned man looked up at blayd and pandora and said "greetings sir and mam, welcome to todd and Dahlia's salon, would you care for a shave?" the man approached blayd "oh no thank you, there's barely anything there TOO shave" but the man would not relent, he grabbed blayd's arm and pulled him towards the salon amnd said "nonsnese, i assure you i can shave off even that small amount. i assure you, it will be a thorough shave. the closest i ever gave" at this point blayd was nervous but he went in anyway. he saw that there was a woman in the salon and the pale skin man said to her "look sister, a customer, and he has a lady friend"

Pandora had followed Blayd as he was dragged in to the salon. " Hey Mr. He said he doen't want a shave you need to stop being so pushy!" She then began to twirl one of her daggers in warning. The mans sister glanced over and gulped slightly. Pandora smirked at her.
" Nonsense Deary! Todd is the best barber in town! How would you like for me to give you a haircut? You have such long hair and it's mess as well." Pandora glared at her angrily. " No thank you." She then threw her celestial Bronze dagger at Todd. " Hands off creep! I know what you're up to and we're not falling for it!"

Even Bellatrix had to squint through the windsheild wipers, the weather was so bad. She wondered how Tony was holding up and wished he was in the car with her this time. She turned off her iPod to save the batteries, and was instantly overcome by a wave of terror and anxiety and distress. Eris, she thought. Where were they going? When would they get there? And why did she feel like these events kept repeating themselves over and over again?
{{*furious* YOU MAD ERIS THE BAD GUY!! SHE'S LIKE 1 OF MY FAVOURITE GODESSES! COME ON, FOR THE FAIREST! LOL!}}

Tony cautiously moved down the tree as carefully as he was able to, "Easy... easy..." He was worried that he'd break a branch and go tumbling down onto his head.
He heard a feminine laugh in his head and it made him wince. It must be Eris!
He put his hand on a branch and yelled in pain. He pulled his hand back. It was covered with a live, active wasp nest that he hadn't noticed before.
"Ow!" The wasps stung his hand and he started to hurry down the tree as fast as he could, Shouldn't wasps die after they sting someone?! He hoped so.
He eventually ended up snapping one of the branches and fell off the tree and into a bush.
He sighed, "Well at least the wasps are gone."
He broke pieces of the wasp nest off of his hand and looked at his horribly swollen hand. Oh boy, that ain't pretty. sad He hoped he wasn't allergic.
"Of all the places I could put my hand," he sighed at the implausability of it all and tried to get up, "What's with this crazy luck? Did I break a mirror or something?"
He was scraped up and the bush tore a hole in his the back of his pants but other than that he wasn't extremely hurt.
He turned his head to look at the rip, "Great, just what I need..." He said in a deadpan tone. stare It wasn't a big rip but still enough to be embarrassing.
He frowned and sucked on his sore hand, Now I've gotta find my friends. I hope they haven't gone too far without noticing I'm gone...
He started to walk toward the area he'd seen the car last.
Tony took a step and immediatly turned red in the face and yelled, "What, REALLY?! C'MON!!!" scream Because he'd just stepped in animal crap.
What's with this horrible luck?
"Well at le--" He covered his mouth with his good hand and struggled not to say 'at least it couldn't get any worse' because he knew that it would right after he said that phrase.
I had better get moving if I have any chance of catchin' up with them. He said as he started to run toward where the car was.

Calli suddenly had a vision of Tony during the storm part and when he fell down the tree. "That was strange" She put her hand on her head because it came to her in a rush. She figured out that it must be a premonition she was sensing. She looked outside to make sure and saw no sign of Tony, "Not good..."
"What's wrong Calli?" Archie asked.
"Tony's in trouble," Calli said. "Bella we have to find him."
Archie thought for a moment, "Calli, can you pick up on where he is?"
"I'll try." Calli focused on Tony and saw where he was. "He's a few miles behind us and he looks like he got hurt."
"How did he manage to get into such a bad situation?" Archie asked.
Calli sensed something else when she focused on Tony, "I think Eris put a curse on him, but there must be a way that we can reverse it."

Bellatrix wasn't really sure what was the LAST thing she'd wanted to hear right around then-- it was a pretty big tie between several serious misfortunes like Eris and Dionysus teaming up to torture her physically and psychologically until she died, and rediculous-but-painful-sounding ones like that she was going to boil in cheese fondue for eternity, but Tony suddenly losing them was definitely up there.
Her face was stoney and gravely serious. "Just tell me which way to go."

Kros heard lightning crackle and realized it was only her, Calli, and Bella here.
Ah! Tony! she realized, Darn it! Why have a storm now?
Her rock started getting slippery and Kros fell.
"Birdies! Birdies! Some help would be nice!" Kros yelled.
A bunch of ravens flew towards her and grabbed her in the air.
"Please," a female raven begged, "don't call us 'birdies'. It's very offensive."
"Sorry," Kros apologized, "hey, can you find a friend of mine? His name's Tony and he's a son of Heracles."
"Oh, he fell in a tree and stepped in animal dung."
"Well...can you find him?"
"Sure."
"Thank you."
The ravens landed Kros on thecground and flew off to find Tony. The female raven stayed.
"I know you," she said
"You do?" Kros asked, confused.
"You were in second grade, remember? My siblings and I fell from my nest and you nursed us to health and brought us back. And that other time before you fled your father, you helped one of my chicks fly."
"That was you?"
"Yes. I followed you this far so I could help you. But I won't stay with you like Ral did."
"You know Ral?"
"We're friends."
"Do you know what happened to her?"
"Yes. It was Eris, in a way."
"What do you mean?"
"Ral had been injected with a metal plate by your father so he could find you using a special radar. The plate lies dormant if she dies, so Ral asked Eris to inject her with poison that made her delusional so she could die."
"When?"
"As you spoke with the Sun God, my dear. But there is no need to pity Ral. She's living a better life in the Isles of the Blest."
"Good."
Kros fought tears.

Tony was running to where he last saw the car but by then it had already drove off for quite a distance. He started to think that he might not be able to reach them. He let out a very loud frustrated noise and punched a tree and it broke like a toothpick.
"Hey, don't take it out on the tree, tough guy," said a male voice that sounded young and eager.
Tony looked down for a moment embarrassed that he let his anger get the best of him in front of a stranger and worried that he looked like some aggressive tree puncher, but then shook his head and looked at the guy, "Listen, I'm sorry, Mister, but I'm not having a good day and..." he said sounding aggitated that the guy was delaying him.
The guy was thin and had short curly black hair and a young face but he had the oldest eyes Tony had ever seen. He had a jocial smile and showed it when he cut Tony off, "Calm down, Tony."
I'm not uncalm... confused Tony thought getting more and more annoyed but he just sighed and continued on his way. It was two and a half steps later when he realized that that guy knew his name, "Wait how'd you---"
"You were going to ask how I know your name, right?"
Tony arched an eyebrow, "Well, uhm, yeah..."
"I know all sorts of things about you." The stranger said.
"Uhm... Like what?" That thought creeped Tony out.
"Well let me see," said the man. "You just turned 20 years old, you really enjoy food, you're a good wrestler and have abnormal strength, and your dad is Heracles," He smirked noticing the rip in Tony's pants, "Oh and you wear blue boxers."
Tony's jaw dropped, "How could you possibly know all that?"
The man chuckled, "Well, Tony, you ripped your pants," rofl he said in a bit of a patronizing tone.
Tony's face reddened both from embarrassment about the pants and frustration at the answer, he covered the rip with his hand, stressed "Yeah, I knew that... I ment how did you..."
"How did I know you were Heracles's son?"
Tony put his hand to his own face and said, "Wouldja quit finishing my sentences it's gettin' really annoying!"
"I'm sorry," said the man with an impish grin.
"So who are you?"
"Can't you tell?"
Tony groaned, If I could tell I wouldn't've asked! This guy is trying to drive me nuts! "No, I can't."
"Well do you know who the messenger of the gods is?"
stressed Tony felt insulted by that question, everyone knew that. "Of corse I do! That's Hermes! But that doesn't answer my..." eek Tony just realized that the guy is Hermes. "So you're saying that you're..."
Hermes grinned, "Hermes? Yep, that's what I'm saying." The man put on a winged hat and wings sprouted out of his shoes.
Tony almost told Hermes to quit doing that, but now that he knew who he was he decided against it. "So did you come here to do something... or just to laugh at me?" sweatdrop
"The laughing actually wasn't planned, but I came to help you out."
"Oh my gosh! I almost forgot about my friends!" Tony started to run to the car again.
Hermes grabbed Tony's shoulder before he could start, "Hold on, Tony, I'll make sure you get to them."
"Oh okay," Tony said, "But why are you hel--"
"Why am I helping you?"
"Please stop doing that," Tony said folding his arms across his chest.
Hermes gave a sheepish grin, "Sorry." He answered the question, "Well I came because you're a hero, riiight?"
Tony nodded, "Right."
"Well all heroes need the gods help sometimes, right?"
Tony nodded hoping that Hermes would just get to the point.
"Well, I'm here to help you out." biggrin
"Thanks, buddy!" Tony smiled and looked really thrilled to hear some good news for a change but was still consious of his predicament. "What can you do?"
Hermes smiled, "This." He held his staff and suddenly he and Tony were standing on the roof of Bellatrix's car. "We should probably tell them we're up here soon..." Hermes said.
Tony nodded and was already thinking of a good way to alert Bella that he was up there without making the car swerve and crash, Couldn't Hermes have put us somewhere safer? He wondered.
Hermes cleared his throat to get Tony's attention, "One more thing before I go. Here." He tossed Tony a pager. "Use it if you need help but try not to do it too much. I'm a busy god, okay?" He gave a friendly smile and in a flash was gone.
Tony had to admit befriending Hermes was a big improvement to his luck. Speaking of which Tony noticed that his wasp stings weren't quite as bad and the sky looked to be clearing up. He wished he would have been less rude to Hermes when he first met him but he was worried about the others and wanted to get back.

The ravens looking for Tony all hopped on Bella's car and tried to grab Tony.
Kros, watching, smirked, "Of course."
"Hello, Kros."
"Eeep!" Kros jumped.
"Don't be alarmed."
The man speaking to her was Hermes.
You know what he looks like.
"You're HERMES!!!" Kros gasped, "Pardon my spazzing, but eeep!! This RULES!!!" whee whee
"Of course it does," he smiled, "I am the messenger of the gods."
Don't ask for his autograph. Don't ask for his autograph. Kros resisted the urge to spazz. whee whee whee whee
"Oh, yeah, nice job stealing your dad's armor."
A god is COMPLIMENTING me!!
"Sorry if I'm all spastic," sweatdrop Kros apologized, "I - "
"You think the gods are awesome, I know, I know."
"Wait - "
"You're going to ask how I know. I've been keeping an eye on you."
"Oh...well, why - "
"I'm watching you because I care."
"Oh."
Hermes glared at her. "And what do you say, Kros?"
"Thank you, Lord Hermes." Kros solemnly bowed.
"For?"
The words trickled from Kros's mouth, "For giving me my rock powers and keeping an eye on me."
"Good girl. And I have one last gift for you."
"Yes, my lord?" Kros fell to her knees.
Hermes grinned, "There's no need for frivolous manners. But that's still kind of you." He handed her a snake egg. "As you all ready know, Ral has her stories. She has helped me in the past. Because her spirit resides in you, you can see her past. I give this to you for two reasons: 1) You seem interesting. 2) This is Ral's child, Kore. Raise him well."
Hermes winked at Kros and flew away.
Kros stared at Kore the egg. By the egg's texture, he'll probably hatch in a week or so.

"Now," Kros said, "to get to Bella."
She held Kore in her hands to keep him warm and sped through the landscape.

He thought about jumping off the roof and in front of the car but that was a really stupid idea cause then it would hit him and the car would break.
Tony slumped down on his stomach about to get Bella's attemtion by putting his hand on the windshield. Before he did he thought about that, I wondered if Bella would freak out if I did that, I guess after all the stuff that happened she probably would assume it was a bad guy and swerve off the road.
He hoped they'd stop soon or that Kros would notice.
He started laughing, "Bella did suggest riding on the roof earlier."

Kros saw the ravens flying away, except for the one female that was with her.
"Tony!" Kros yelled, "You're alive!"
"I probably should leave," the female raven sighed, "goodbye Kros."
"Goodbye uh.."
"Syv."
"Goodbye Syv!"
Syv flew away with her brethren.

Tony turned his head and looked up at Kros, he felt really relieved that he was finally able to get off the car.
"Yep, Kros, I'm alive," he said trying to stand back up. "Couldja help me off the car?"
