Chapter 61

There was absolutely no sensation at all. In fact, at first Athena thought nothing had happened. The boxes were identical and there was nothing to show that they had moved. Hephaestus laughed long and loud. "Done it!" he shouted and punched the air above his head. "We've done it. Yey!"

"How do you know?" asked Athena. He pointed to a number painted over the door. It read '2'.

"Now, watch the number," he said, and pressed the button again. It instantly turned to '1'.

"I don't believe it," whispered Athena. "Do it again, so we can come out of the other one."

Hephaestus obliged and they stepped out into Hephaestus's yard, ten feet further away than they had been before.

"Awesome," said Athena.

"Now we need to transport one a decent distance away and see if it still works," said Hephaestus. "Where do you think? Somewhere where nobody goes."

"The winter camp," said Athena, with no hesitation at all.
