[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain...
I have something that I must confess

"Yeah! Maybe like how you opened the wind bag!" Hazel exclaimed at the screen.

"Pay up!" Leo laughed as he looked at his friends who placed a bet.

Piper shook her head, "No way! Not until it's confirmed."

Something that I must get off my chest
Until it is said, I cannot rest
Captain?

"If they weren't brothers, I would have guessed that Eurylochus was about to tell Odysseus that he loved him," Percy laughed.

[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus
go make sure this island is secure

[EURYLOCHUS]
But captain...

[ODYSSEUS]
There's only so much left we can endure
Whatever you need to say can wait some more
Of that, I'm sure

"Oof, he couldn't care less."

[EURYLOCHUS]
Okay.

"He looks like he's seen a ghost!" Nico points out, his voice concerns, he's never and to deal with Circe before but he's heard stories of how powerful she is.

Leo smirked, "Are you talking from experience?"

[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus back so soon?
Where's the rest of your crew?
By the gods, what happened to you?!

[EURYLOCHUS]
We came across a palace
Inside we heard a voice
It seemed to show no malice
To greet it was our choice, but nothing could prepare us for the power
that awaited inside...

[ODYSSEUS]
What did this palace hide?

[EURYLOCHUS]
Sir, since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places
Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist
But this was a hell of a twist, cause we are weak to a power like this

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
What was it?

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
A woman

Percy, Frank and Leo laughed, the girls rolled their eyes at the stupidity of the men. "Seriously?" Thalia exclaimed, "Women are just as dangerous, if not more!"

Jason nodded, agreeing with his sister, "Girls are scary."

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
What?

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
She had us in just two words

[CIRCE]
Come inside

Leo gasped, holy moly, clearly his type was goddesses.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Damn

Leo nodded, for once agreeing with Odysseus, Piper noticed and rolled her eyes, "Leo! She's evil remember!"

Reyna bit her lip, it's been a while since she's seen the Goddess' face, a flood of memories invading her mind, most of them not good.

[CIRCE]
Welcome to the best part of your lives
Go ahead and rest wherever you like
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now

"It makes sense that she owns a salon now."

"She what?!"

Annabeth grinned, "It was called C.C's Spa and..." she frowned, not able to remember the full name.

"Spa and Resort..." Reyna said shortly, her eyes focused on the screen.

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Only I stayеd outside, but the rest wеnt in

[CIRCE, SOLDIERS]
Take a seat Aye!
Let me bring you all something to eat Aye!

"Don't eat it!" Percy said with a sweat.

I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet Aye!

Reyna frowned, remembering how kindly Circe had treated her and her sister. The demigods and nymphs that stayed on the island... They were like Circe's children and sisters, Circe is protecting them.

I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now

"Damn," Leo whispered under his breath, she's so pretty, he thought.

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
By the time they ate, it was far too late

[EURYLOCHUS, CIRCE]
For inside the meal, think of your past
She had cast a spell, and your mistakes
They began to squeal, they'll be the last
And grow snouts and tails, mistakes you'll make
She changed them

"HA!" Percy exclaimed, looking at his friends, "I knew it!"

Annabeth rolled her eyes, "You only knew it seaweed brain because she turned you into a guinea pig."

He frowned, "You didn't need to remind me..."

[CIRCE]
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah

[EURYLOCHUS, CIRCE]
They transformed, this is the price
And it wasn't quick, we pay to live
She turned our men, the world does not
From men to pigs, tend to forgive
She changed them

[CIRCE]
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
We have to go save them

[EURYLOCHUS]
No we don't

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Percy yelled, feeling for Odysseus' men, remembering his own terrifying experience as an animal, if Annabeth had left him he would still be stuck on Circe's island.

Look at all we've lost and all we've learned
Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned
Think about the men we have left before there are none
Let's just cut our losses, you are I, and let's run

Piper shook her head, "Cut our losses? Those losses are people! Your crew!"

[ODYSSEUS]
Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run
But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done

"Yeah it would be hard to sleep after killing a baby!"

Hazel gasped, "LEO!"

"Sorry!"

There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save
I can only hope you'd do the same

"Ayo, is that Hermes?"

Annabeth frowned, "I hate that guy!"

[EURYLOCHUS, CIRCE]
I can hear her still (no one will find)
And her voice deceives (their way between)
What if she can't be killed? (my nymphs and I,)
Will you choose to leave? (their loving queen)

Reyna smiled, everyone other than Percy and Annabeth confused about why she's smiling at the Goddess.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I don't know

[CIRCE]
I've got all the power, yeah, I've got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah

"It's weird but I think I'm in love," Leo gasped as he watched the Goddess dance.

Annabeth laughed, "I'll be sure to tell Calypso you're in love with her cousin."

"Her what?!"

"It's Greek mythology... why are you surprised?"

(In some versions they are sisters so that's cool)

[EURYLOCHUS, CIRCE]
She's a clever witch (this is the price)
And she's hard to slay (we pay to love)
It's a game of wits (we draw the line)
But you don't have to play (watch from above)

"That animation is so cool!"

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I have to try

[CIRCE]
I've got all the power, yeah, I've got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah

"I can't wait to see why Hermes is here," Annabeth said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

Piper looked at Percy, her eyes asking him what Annabeth and Hermes' deal was, he shook his head, there was no way he was getting into that right now.
