“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. I will become master of the four elements!” The trio continue their adventures in Chicago and take some time to hit up the tourist-y spots and eat some Chicago-style pizza. During one of their activities, Arella spots something strange and gets rewarded with some exciting news. Conner and Lyra actually seem to be getting along, mostly ganging up on the little one.
Sidenote: Arella would like me to tell the younger listeners to beware of strange adults that say “Greetings, children. Please come inside.”

“But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she.”
Before Romeo and Juliet, there were these couples. Join us for this mini-dive into some tragic love stories of yore.

Free of the Myrmekes and one obstinate shabti crawling around just outside of camp proper, the Kronos Kids must come up with their plan on figuring out the last part of Rachel’s painting - the mysterious falcon. Could James the shabti’s “acceptable” master be the one the falcon represents? Or is it someone else? How will the three get rid of the shabti with two of them still unclaimed?

Mything Information - 1 A MAN-datory Meeting
Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0600
Content Warning: Genocide
Join Echo and Demi as they sit down and discuss Greek Myths. Our first episode is all about the early humans. Woah! Easy, don't open that! Ah! Now you’ve done it. Excuse us as we go clean up the mess we made.
Mything Information is a mini-series that will be scattered throughout the regular season, as we see fit. These episodes are bite-sized in comparison to our regular episodes. We hope you enjoy these mini episodes, as I (Echo) help Demi get caught up on her Greek mythology knowledge.
