"You know what, Grace? I'm so close to kicking your ass." Crystal growled.

"What is that?" Crystal pointed to steel elevator doors.

The doors had a cursive M engraved into it. Right to the left was a directory with... odd... stores.

"First off, what mall has a sewer entrance? Second, why does it sell poisons?" Crystal raised an eyebrow.

Leo shrugged. "What's 'sundries'?I really hope it's not like underwear or something."

Jason pressed a button. "How about we start at the top?"

Crystal gripped her dagger that she nearly forgot about. She had a bad feeling about this place. She didn't know why, but she did.

The doors slid open and Crystal stepped out, her dagger poised. The sight before her made her drop her weapon. Jason quickly stepped out, hearing Crystal drop her dagger.

"You guys have to see this." Jason gasped.

The whole ceiling was stain glassed, the sun making it cast rainbow colors over everything. It had bright gold railings and very, very colorful carpeting. Below them, a fountain sprayed water high into the air, changing colors. On either side of the fountain stood two gold canary cages.

"Look!" Leo pointed to the one with a frozen satyr in it.

"Coach Hedge!" Piper said. "We need to get down there."

"What the heck is a Coach Hedge?" Crystal looked up.

Leo smiled. "We'll tell you later."

"Can I help you?" A sudden voice spoke.

Startled, Crystal dropped down and grabbed her dagger, swiping her leg out to trip the visitor. The person landed with a thud and Crystal stood up.

On the floor was a woman dressed elegantly with expensive jewelry. Her long dark hair fanned out around her head and her gorgeous face was contorted in slight pain. Crystal quickly helped her up.

"I'm so sorry! I thought you were-"

"It's perfectly fine, dear. See? No harm done. Now, how can I help you?" She spoke with an undecipherable accent that gave Crystal the chills.

"Is this your store?" Jason asked.

The woman nodded. "Yes. I am the Princess Of Colchis. My friends call me Your Highness. What are you looking for?"
