Scylla


[ODYSSEUS]
The lair of Scylla

"Oh my gods!" Annabeth gasped, if they're in the lair of Scylla, this song really can't be good.

This is our only way home

[SCYLLA]
Deep down

Leo shivered, "Her voice is so creepy!"

Percy nodded, "It's like a lullaby— But in a creepy way."

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
You're quiet today.

[SCYLLA]
Deep down

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Not much to say...

[ALL]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
You hide a reason for shame

"Oop."

"You did not just say that!" Piper exclaimed, horrified that her friend would actually say the word 'oop.'

[EURYLOCHUS]
I've got a secret I can no longer keep

[SOLDIERS]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
You know that we are the same

[EURYLOCHUS]
I opened the wind bag while you were asleep

"Pay up Piper!" Leo said as he held out his hand

Piper groaned, "Can't I just steal you a new screwdriver the next time we go to the shops?"

Reyna titled her head to the side, looking at the girl, "Steal? Isn't your dad rich?"

"Yeah, but so is half of the people's in this room," Piper said as she pointed at Jason, Thalia, Annabeth, Frank, Will and Nico.

"You're the only one here who (other than Percy) actually talks to their parents though."

Piper shrugged, "It's more fun when I shoplift it."

"Okay, Piper— We need to have a really long chat about this later," Annabeth pointed.

[SCYLLA]
Leaving them feeling betrayed
Breaking the bonds that you've made

"It's like, she's a voice in the back of his head teasing him."

[EURYLOCHUS]
I'm so sorry

[SCYLLA]
There is no price we won't pay

[EURYLOCHUS]
Forgive me

"I mean— You can't blame a guy for being curious."

"No! Frank! Stop defending Eurylochus!"

[SCYLLA]
We both know what it takes to survive

[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead, full speed, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

Nico chuckled, "Honestly, he deserves the silent treatment."

Will nodded, "Nico would know, he's the best at it!" He teased.

"Hey!"

[ALL]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
We only care for ourselves

[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus, light up six torches

[SCYLLA]
Deep down, we're lonely demons from hell

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Captain! Something approaches!

Everyone sat up in this chairs, preparing themselves for the nightmare this song was about to become.

[SCYLLA, spoken]
Hello...

"Oh—"

"My—"

"Gods!"

They watched at the six legged creature circled Odysseus' crew. Odysseus standing there calming as he held his composure.

[ODYSSEUS]
Row for your lives!

[SCYLLA]
Drown in your sorrow and fears

"I—" they were speechless as they watched an innocent man be eaten right in front of them.

Choke on your blood and your tears
Bleed til you've run out of years

"He's just standing there!" Leo exclaimed.

"Even Eurylochus is doing something!"

We must do what it takes to survive

Give up your honor and faith
Live up your life as a wraith
Die in the blood where you bathe
We must do what it takes to survive

"He's—" Annabeth took a shallow breath, as the realisation of Odysseus' plan hits her, "He's sacrificing the men with the torches."

"What?!" Percy asked, anger fuelling his veins.

She nodded, "I-I'm pretty sure... Scylla, she only attacked the men with torches."

[SCYLLA & ODYSSEUS]
We are the same, you and I, I

"And Eurylochus now knows..."

"Alyx!" Thalia called out, she crossed her arms, "I want a break!"
