Stone Circle Instincts Lead Me Home

It was both easier and saddening to know Day hadn't heard any stories, but that was okay, because now he could have entertainment when she was telling stories to the children. 

She was happy with questions -- it showed he was paying attention -- and obliged with the very best information she could. 

                  "Medusa was once very beautiful, but was turned into a hideous beast with snakes for hair by a jealous goddess. She's a gorgon.... Never seen one, but other stories stay she could turn others to stone by making eye contact."

Scooping out another bunch of dirt, keeping her eyes on the progress, Amber went on with the story. 

                                                      "Another god, Poseidon, was the one who sent the sea monster Cetus -- Im not sure what he was at all -- to terrorize their city Cepheus's kingdom as punishment. Cassiopeia was boasting about how much more beautiful her daughter was compared to the sea gods own creations, and it made Poseidon very mad. He demanded that Andromeda be sacrificed, but Percy saved her and somehow the god didn't retaliate. Andromeda, however, was already promised to another -- Perseus had to fight him for her hand, but in the end, the man fell. Percy got to marry Andromeda and they lived happily ever after."
