I had not seen Miriam in three days. Good. She scared and intimidated me. First, it was Zeus and then Miriam. The two of them came in and out of the castle at will without being detected.
They could take me out of it if they wanted.
I stepped out onto the balcony. Athena had given me balcony privileges since I was well-behaved and I had proved that I was trustworthy. I had been excited at first because I thought if I could have a view of the property from the balcony I could at least figure out where I was.
Oh, how wrong I was. All I saw were trees everywhere and I was on the fifth floor. It begged the question of why I had been denied balcony privileges in the first place. The castle rules were ridiculous.
A figure caught my eye. I could recognize that figure and white hair anywhere. He was standing near the fountain. What shocked me was the fact that there were guards nearby and none of them seemed to notice him.
