Burrito Fight

Addy and Thacia walked a good 20 feet head of the group.  They weren’t quite sure where they were going, but everyone else was walking way too slow.  Addy kept looking over her shoulder to make sure the group was still following.  Everyone had been down since the fight with Talos.  Percy especially; he blamed himself for Bianca’s death.  Though, most of them did, because, as Addy had learned, that just happens to be what people do when someone dies.  Thacia brought it up again a little bit later.  “I don’t understand why they are all still sad.”  she said

  “I know!  You’ think they’d get over it.”  Addy replied.

  “We already told them she wasn’t dead!”  Thacia shouted, so the group believed them could hear.  

  “Precisely!  Because people don’t die… Well, they do, but not like that… at least not the people we know, and like.  It just doesn’t happen!”

  “Exactly!”  Thacia agreed.  

They reached a river.  Addy thought it was the Hudson, but she wasn’t sure, she had a horrible sense of direction.  They walked along the edge, avoiding the cliff.  A ways down there was a few canoes and a boathouse.  Addy stood back with Thacia as Percy wrote a note and left some money.  Then the rest of them climbed into the little boats.  Zoe looked back and asked if they were coming, as naiads started pushing the boat.  “No!”  Thacia shouted, and Addy followed her to another boat.

  “We’ll catch our own!”  Addy shouted as they got some oars, climbed in a boat and started catching up.  

  The boats being pushed by naiads stated to get ahead.  Addy got annoyed, but she was by no means going to have naiads push her boat.  She did not like them, they didn’t like her and it was the same for Thacia.  Suddenly a wind blew and Addy noticed they were starting to catch up.  She looked questioningly at Thacia.  “Remember, Eurus owed us a favor.”  Thacia said excitedly.

  Addy thought really hard, trying to place a face with the name.  “Eurus.  Eurus… Euuuuruuus.”  she repeated in different voices, then it hit her.  “Eurus!  God of the east wind!  Why was that so hard to remember?”

  “I don’t know!!”  Thacia shouted in her face, seemingly for no reason.  

  Not to long after they caught up, Addy saw that they were rapidly approaching the Hoover Dam.  They all got out of the canoes and made their way to the entrance of the dam.  Barely 20 minutes had passed, and Addy realized they were really lost, and had no visual on the other demigods.  “Addy, I think we’re lost.”  Thacia echoed Addy’s thoughts.  

  “Of course we aren’t!!”  Addy replied, “I know exactly where we are!”  

  5 minutes later they entered the food court and saw Percy running to Thalia, Zoe, and Grover.  He shoute something about skeletons.  On cure the things entered from all exits.  “They look like a very dead dinosaur thing.”  Addy said to Thacia.

  “I know!  But very clean dinosaurs.”  Thacia said.  They laughed.

  “Burrito fight!”  Grover shouted.

  Addy and Thacia climbed in at the same time, “Burrito fight!”

  Addy stated searching for any food she could find as a full on food war broke out.  Addy was having a blast.  She threw food everywhere.  “This is great!”  Thacia shouted.

  “I know!  And we can’t get in trouble for starting it!”  Addy shouted back.

  Amidst the enjoyment, Addy almost missed their group sneaking out.  Addy grabbed Thacia’s arm and then ran.  “Hey!  Let go!”  Thacia shouted, getting her arm loose.  “They’re leaving without us!”  Addy yelled in her face.

  Addy took the lead again as they ran outside.  They made it just in time to see two giant bronze angel statues carry their friends away from a ring of skeleton warriors.  Addy looked at Thacia, “These were the angel thingies Athena made for Zeus right?”  she asked.

 Thacia nodded, “Yup!”

  “Greeeeeeat.”  Addy said, very annoyed.  “Well, we’ll get to San Francisco however we want.”

  “Yeah!  And it will be more fun!”  Thacia said.

  With that, Addy turned on her heel and left to think of a plan to get to San Francisco.

Read List

Earlier this fall, I made a post of the books I wanted to read over the fall, and now since it is the last day of fall, I thought I'd tell you which books I got done.  So, here is the list of what I did and did not get done, for your enjoyment:
1. Forest Born- 
This was the first book I read this fall, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The character was very relatable, and the plot and inner conflict was rich.  Here is the description for Forest Born.
Rin is sure that something is wrong with her…something really bad. Something that is keeping her from feeling at home in the Forest homestead where she's lived all her life. Something that is keeping her from trusting herself with anyone at all. When her brother Razo returns from the city for a visit, she accompanies him to the palace, hoping that she can find peace away from home. But war has come to Bayern again, and Rin is compelled to join the queen and her closest allies—magical girls Rin thinks of as the Fire Sisters—as they venture into the Forest toward Kel, the land where someone seems to want them all dead. Many beloved Bayern characters reappear in this story, but it is Rin's own journey of discovering how to balance the good and the bad in herself that drives this compelling adventure.

2. Enchanted- Alethea Kontis
I did not get to read Enchanted, it sort of slipped out of mind.  But hopefully I'll remember to read it soon.
It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.

When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.

The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past—and hers?

3. Cascade- Lisa T. Bergren
Cascade I also did not get to read unfortunately.
Mom touched my underdress—a gown made six hundred years before—and her eyes widened as she rubbed the raw silk between thumb and forefinger. She turned and touched Lia’s gown. “Where did you get these clothes?”

Gabi knows she’s left her heart in the fourteenth century and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives. When they arrive, weeks have passed and all of Siena longs to celebrate the heroines who turned the tide in the battle against Florence—while the Florentines will go to great lengths to see them dead.

But Marcello patiently awaits, and Gabi must decide if she’s willing to leave her family behind for good in order to give her heart to him forever.

4. Dragonwitch- Anne Elisabeth Stengle
I did get to read Dragonwitch, and it was amazing.  It's my new favorite book from the Tales of Goldstone Wood series.
Who Will Dare to Face the Dragonwitch? 
Submissive to her father’s will, Lady Leta of Aiven travels far to meet a prospective husband she neither knows nor loves–Lord Alistair, future king of the North Country.
But within the walls of Gaheris Castle, all is not right. Vicious night terrors plague Lord Alistair to the brink of insanity. Whispers rise from the family crypt. The reclusive castle Chronicler, Leta’s tutor and friend, possesses a secret so dangerous it could cost his life and topple the North Country into civil war.
And far away in a hidden kingdom, a fire burns atop the Temple of the Sacred Flame. Acolytes and priestesses serve their goddess to the limits of their lives and deaths. No one is safe while the Dragonwitch searches for the sword that slew her twice…and for the one person who can wield it.
5. Shadow Hand- Anne Elisabeth Stengle
I did not get to read this one, but I have it in my room, borrowed from the library, waiting to be read, so hopefully soon.
This is a tale of blood.
And love.
And the many things that lie between.
By her father's wish, Lady Daylily is betrothed to the Prince of Southlands. Not the prince she loves, handsome and dispossessed Lionheart, but his cousin, the awkward and foolish Prince Foxbrush. As her wedding day dawns, Daylily flees into the dangerous Wilderlands, her only desire to vanish from living memory.
But Foxbrush, determined to rescue his betrothed, pursues Daylily into a new world of magic and peril, a world where vicious Faerie beasts hold sway, a world invaded by a lethal parasite.
A world that is hauntingly familiar. 

6. Princess of Glass- Jessica Day George
Okay, once again, I did not finish this book. 
Hoping to escape the troubles in her kingdom, Princess Poppy reluctantly agrees to take part in a royal exchange program, whereby young princes and princesses travel to each other's countries in the name of better political alliances--and potential marriages. It's got the makings of a fairy tale--until a hapless servant named Eleanor is tricked by a vengeful fairy godmother into competing with Poppy for the eligible prince. Ballgowns, cinders, and enchanted glass slippers fly in this romantic and action-packed happily-ever-after quest from an author with a flair for embroidering tales in her own delightful way.

7. Palace of Stone- Shannon Hale
I did not read this book either, unfortunately.
Coming down from the mountain to a new life in the city is a thrill to Miri. She and her princess academy friends have been brought to Asland to help the future princess Britta prepare for her wedding.There, Miri also has a chance to attend school-at the Queen's Castle. But as Miri befriends students who seem sophisticated and exciting she also learns that they have some frightening plans. Torn between loyalty to the princess and her new friends' ideas, between an old love and a new crush, and between her small mountain home and the bustling city, Miri looks to find her own way in this new place.
Picking up where "Princess Academy" left off, and celebrating the joys of friendship, romance and the fate of fairy tale kingdoms, this new book delivers the completely delightful new story that fans have been waiting for.

8. Battle of the Labyrinth- Rick Riordan (re-read)
This book, I did read.  For the second time!  And it was just as good the second time around, as it was the first.
Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.
In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth - a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn.

9. The Last Olympian- Rick Riordan (re-read)
This one, I also read, and for a second time.  Very mazing, very sad, very much genius, it was really good.
All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of a victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows.

While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate. 
10. Oregon Driver's Manual- I know, boring, right?
No, I did not get to read it, but I still have another six months before the test for my permit, so I'll be fine- but then, that's what everyone says.

11. Josh Anvil and the Gathering Storm- Bruce E. Arrington
Does it count if I started it?  No?  Well, yeah, never did get to finish it.
Fourteen-year-old Josh Anvil is back on Earth, having rescued his grandparents from oblivion. After his interview makes him the laughingstock of the world, he returns home to face school finals, mind-numbing nightmares, demanding FBI agents, and teacher clones. Meanwhile the Earth’s atmosphere is heating up toward Triassic period levels, and no one seems to know why.

With a new girlfriend and a promise of basketball stardom, Josh’s life seems to be getting more bearable. But is it only the calm before the storm?

12. Torn- Margaret Peterson Haddix
I did get to read this book, and it was terrific.  The characters were a little bit of idiots, but it was fine besides that.
Still reeling from their experiences in Roanoke in 1600, Jonah and Katherine arrive in 1611 only moments before a mutiny on Henry Hudson’s ship in the icy waters of James Bay. But things are messed up: they’ve lost the real John Hudson, and they find what seems to be the fabled Northwest Passage—even though they are pretty sure that that route doesn’t actually exist. Will this new version of history replace the real past? Is this the end of time as we know it? With more at stake than ever before, Jonah and Katherine struggle to unravel the mysteries of 1611 and the Hudson Passage...before everything they know is lost.

13. Caught- Margaret Peterson Haddix
I also read this one, and I'm just going to leave off with the fact that it had a killer plot twist.
Jonah and Katherine are accustomed to traveling through time, but when learn they next have to return Albert Einstein’s daughter to history, they think it’s a joke—they’ve only heard of his sons. But it turns out that Albert Einstein really did have a daughter, Lieserl, whose 1902 birth and subsequent disappearance was shrouded in mystery. Lieserl was presumed to have died of scarlet fever as an infant. But when Jonah and Katherine return to the early 1900s to fix history, one of Lieserl’s parents seems to understand entirely too much about time travel and what Jonah and Katherine are doing. It’s not Lieserl’s father, either—it’s her mother, Mileva. And Mileva has no intention of letting her daughter disappear.

14. Golden Daughter- Anne Elisabeth Stengle
Suppose you should know my answer, since you know I did not read Shadow Hand.  So, of course, by consequence, I did not read Golden Daughter.  Someday though.
Masayi Sairu was raised to be dainty, delicate, demure . . . and deadly. She is one of the emperor’s Golden Daughters, as much a legend as she is a commodity. One day, Sairu will be contracted in marriage to a patron, whom she will secretly guard for the rest of her life.

But when she learns that a sacred Dream Walker of the temple seeks the protection of a Golden Daughter, Sairu forgoes marriage in favor of this role. Her skills are stretched to the limit, for assassins hunt in the shadows, and phantoms haunt in dreams. With only a mysterious Faerie cat and a handsome slave—possessed of his own strange abilities—to help her, can Sairu shield her new mistress from evils she can neither see nor touch?

For the Dragon is building an army of fire, and soon the heavens will burn.

15. Storm of Lightning- Richard Paul Evans
I did read this!  And let me just say, I was expecting some big things in this book!  It's so close to the end of the series, it's just got to be great!  But I'm afraid, it was not.  It was the biggest disappointment in my life, let me just say.  And now, I'll leave.
Michael, Taylor, Ostin, and the rest of the Electroclan go on their most dangerous mission yet as the thrilling action continues in this electrifying fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling series!

The resistance movement has been compromised.

The Voice is in hiding.

Their families are missing.

Can the Electroclan pull together to defeat the Elgen once and for all?

So, out of fifteen books I did not read eight of them.  However, I did not just read seven books this season, and then twiddle my thumbs.  I ended up reading other books also, ones that I just got to faster than the others.  So, here they are:

1.  The Red Pyramid-
Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.

One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.

Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them —Set— has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs. 
2. The Throne of Fire- 
Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.

And now their most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it's a typical week for the Kane family.

To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished.

First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly?

Narrated in two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride. 
3. Waterfall (re-read)-
What do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?

Most American teenagers want a vacation in Italy, but the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives among the romantic hills with their archaelogist parents. Stuck among the rubble of the medieval castles in rural Tuscany, on yet another hot, dusty archaeological site, Gabi and Lia are bored out of their minds...until Gabi places her hand atop a handprint in an ancient tomb and finds herself in fourteenth-century Italy. And worse yet, in the middle of a fierce battle between knights of two opposing forces.

Suddenly Gabi's summer in Italy is much, much more interesting.

The god's Junkyard

Here is the newest edition of Realm Walkers. Sorry about it being late, there will be a second post this month to make up for it. Hope you enjoy!

 The god’s junkyard was amazing!  Thacia and Addy had been scavenging for it for forever!!!  Thacia had been dreaming, with a smug smile, of the time when they would FINALLY be able to go in!  But the stupid demigods weren’t listening to her and Addy for the hundredth time!!!  But whatever, Thacia would just ignore them back.  But, unfortunately, she didn’t have anytime to enact her revenge, because in that moment a speeding car barely missed her and the rest of the demigods.  Unfortunately, Thacia screamed along with the others in panic- breaking her record of no screams for a month.  After, a moment Thacia opened her squinted eyes to a blaring headlight.  She heard Addy’s voice beside her, “Freeze like a deer!”  

  Thacia and Addy froze in the headlights.  Thacia stayed frozen until she heard the driver get out of the car, and speak, “You screamed?”  he asked, disapprovingly.  

  Thacia frowned at the person who almost ran her over- who unfortunately happened to be Ares. “Yes, I did.  Do you have a problem with that?”

  “No, daughter of mine screams.  You’re a disgrace.”  he turned his back to her, and Thacia glared daggers at him.

  “Wait, what!?”  Grover shouted in disbelief.  “Your godly parent is Ares, the god of war?!”

  “No!  Don’t you know!?”  Addy began to answer, “He calls everyone his daughter!”  she paused, “Of course, she’s his daughter, what do you think all her martial art skills came from?  Talent?  She had to have gotten it from somewhere.”

  “You have martial art skills, Addy.  Is he your dad?”  Bianca asked.

  Thacia laughed at the absurd thought.  “No!”  Addy answered, “You see, I have talent.”

  “Hey!”  Thacia shouted, then punched Addy in the shoulder.

  Thacia glanced over back to her dad, and saw he was shoving Percy into his car.  Thacia stood, “Hey dad, what are you doing!?”

  “Relax, Thacia.”  Ares scowled, “Aphrodite just wants to talk to him.”

  Thacia frowned deeper, then stood and stepped up closer to her dad, crossing her arms.  “So, how’s it been on Mount Olympus?”  she asked.

  “Shut up, kid.”

  “How’s it been in California?  I saw you went to California.”

  “I had pumpkin pie.”  he answered, a scowl on his face.

  “Pumpkin pie’s my favorite.”

  “I know, I ate it just to torture you.”

  “Well, I watched Sherlock.  Just to torture you.”  Thacia came up with a weak throwback.

  “I don’t like Sherlock.”

  “She knows.  More Sherlock in the world tortures you.  There!!!”  Addy boomed out, siding Thacia in the argument.

  “Good-bye.”  Ares stated as Percy climbed out of his car.  

  “Good-bye!”  Thacia shouted, and stomped away as her dad climbed into the car and took off.

  Thacia brewed for a split second, then laughed, Addy broke into laughter also.  “I hate pumpkin pie!!”  Thacia gasped out.

  “I know!”  Addy responded, “I always love yours and your dad’s conversations.”

____________________

  Thacia and Addy did the happy dance together, as they jumped into the god’s junkyard, finally entering after all their years of looking and looking and looking.  They would find so many treasures, and nobody could stop them!  “Grover, don’t take anything.”  Percy told the satyr as he tried to chew on some old furniture.  

  Thacia’s eyes immediately fixed on Percy, and listened in shock of the conversation.  “Taking a thing from the god’s junkyard will trigger traps for us all.”  Zoe stated, agreeing with Percy.

  Addy gasped, beside Thacia, “But that’s being mature!”

  Thacia clapped her hands together, rubbing them, “We must not be mature!  We must steal the treasures!”

  “No.”  Zoe stated again, as she walked by Thacia, proud and dramatic.

  Thacia made a face, turning to Addy, who mouthed Zoe’s word, mocking her.  They began to laugh, but then Addy straightened, and Thacia straightened also, frowning dramatically.  “Shh, we must be mature.”  Addy said.

  And with that, they walked into the junkyard like old monks.  

  For several minutes, Thacia resisted the itch to just take the precious treasures she saw all around her.  Eventually, she leaned toward Addy, and whispered, “I want them so badly!”

  Addy nodded, her eyes wide with resist.  But with one nodding glance at each other the resistance in the two of them broke, and they scrambled for the hills upon hills of objects.  “Hey, you guys are gonna set off booby traps!!”  Thalia screamed up at Thacia and Addy.

  “Oh, no need to be such a fuddy duddy!!”  Addy shouted back down, and Thacia jerked her head once vigorously, to agree.

  “I swear you guys are more like Hermes’ kids!”  Thalia shouted back up in frustration.  “Get down here before you get us all killed!”

  “We don’t need to listen to you!”  Thacia shouted down, then stuck out her tongue, from the corner of her eye, she saw Addy follow suit.

  Despite her interjection though, they both climbed back down, and jump the last few feet.  Thalia glared at them both, the turned and stalked away.  Thacia smirked, and the two followed Thalia, keeping an eye for anything valuable.  After they were almost out of the junkyard, Thacia spotted some beautiful instruments of weaponry on the side, and elbowed Addy.  Addy smiled with delight, and they both quietly rushed over, snatching up the bow and arrows of Artemis, then returning to the walk of old monks.  They discreetly threw away their previous bow and arrows away as they walked, and continued.

  Suddenly the sound of rusted metal rang in Thacia’s ears.  She spun on her heel, and found a large metal man beginning to attack the group.  “Metal man!”  Thacia shouted, warning the group, then quickly pulled an arrow from her quiver, and nock it.  

  Addy did the same beside her, while muttering to herself, “It’s the stupid treasures isn’t it!?  We set off a booby trap!  Great!  Just great!”

  Thacia let the bow string slip from her fingers, flying toward the metal man.  From behind- as she continued shooting a volley of arrows- she heard Zoe confirm the metal man as a prototype of Talos.  “No idea who Talos is!”  Thacia shouted.

  Thacia and Addy ran behind Talos, trying to get a better more paralyzing shot at him.  As they ran, Addy spoke, “Bianca just had a quick rapid conversation with Percy.  She said she stole a statue in the junkyard for some little brother.  So, she’s not the only one who stole something.  She tried to get rid of the statue, and of course nothing happened!”  

  Thacia and Addy halted behind the metal man, and took another shot- this time both hitting crucial wires, and slowing the hunk of metal down.  “We need to get rid of the bow and arrows.”  Addy shouted as Thacia sent a volley of three arrows at once.  

  “No way!”  Thacia shouted, “Did you see what I just did there!?”

  Addy glared at her, and Thacia made a face as she picked up a rock and chucked it at the metal man.  “Bianca found a way to stop Talos, but she’d die!  Throw the stupid weapons down now, Thacia!!!”

  An odd sound of dismay and annoyance came from Thacia’s suddenly gaping mouth, as she threw her brand new gorgeous weapons on the ground.  “Happy!?”  she shouted.

  Addy nodded, and carefully set her’s on the ground also.  “Hey!  Nothing happened to the statue!”  Addy shouted, as she glanced back.

  Thacia nodded with dramatic eyes at her remark, then stopped, when she heard a strange sound.  She glanced back behind her, and saw the statue stop, doing the chicken dance.  Behind Thacia, Addy began laughing, but she was to upset to join in and just watched in awe.  Then, the metal man fell over into the electrical lines.  Electricity jerked across it’s entire body, then died.  Thacia almost broke into laughter, when she glanced over to the group.  Four people were standing there, Grover, Thalia, Percy, and Zoe were standing still.  “Where’s Bianca?”  Thacia asked Addy.

  Addy stopped laughing behind her, and they glanced at each other.  “Oh my gosh.”  Addy said, as they sprinted over to the others.  “Where’s Bianca?!”  they shouted as they ran.

  When they joined the group, Zoe glanced at them with saddened eyes, “She’s gone.  She sacrificed herself to destroy the statue.”

  Thacia’s mouth gaped open, and both she and Addy denied it at the same time, “You’re lying.”  they spoke.   

Realm Walkers Canceled

  I’m sorry, but this month’s Realm Walkers post has been canceled.  This November just slipped right by me, as I was trying to do several projects and school all at once.  However, I do promise that there will be two Realm Walkers posts in December to make up for it.  I’m sorry again.  See you next week.
