The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx might have all the big-city knowledge, but I knew all kinds of stuff about small, stupid plants. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Mom said, “Boys, come inside. Styx needs to go home now.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The energy of Styx Malone passed through me, straight into Mr. Davis. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx could show us everything, and Dad would never need to know. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z If the situation was reversed, Styx would stand by us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We tromped through the woods to meet Styx and Pixie for another afternoon at the pond. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The River Styx’s current swirled with strange objects— broken toys, ripped-up college diplomas, wilted homecoming corsages—all the dreams people had thrown away as they’d passed from life into death. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Dad followed us through the woods to Styx’s house. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “This is a blessing in disguise,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We knew all this, but Styx was working his magic. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx’s went all the way down to touch the top of the pond. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “And it’s not even difficult. But I need your promise on the River Styx.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z We needed to make a presentation worthy of Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Mom was wrong about Styx being a handful of trouble. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z My mind spun around everything Styx’s questions stirred up. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z This was where Styx always came from, so this was where he must be. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Overshadowed by Styx, for sure, but in his presence, all things felt possible. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The way Styx challenged the world to a fight—it pulled me forward, leaving Bobby Gene behind. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z My chest and cheeks warmed beneath the glow of Styx’s favor. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The familiar route felt brand-new with Styx along. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Tell Styx and B.G. what you told me yesterday,” I said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Your friend’s got about sixty seconds of air left in him,” Styx Malone said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z River Styx or no, the way Sciron phrased his promise didn’t reassure her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z A reminder of the way Styx Malone defied death. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx ran up and knocked on the door. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Or perhaps this was evidence of how badly Mom wanted us not hanging out with Styx every day. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “You will promise on the River Styx,” Piper insisted. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Styx had finally realized that vocabulary was not among Bobby Gene’s strengths. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Sure, sure,” I said, although I wasn’t sure at all what Styx was talking about. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z If Styx Malone himself couldn’t get out of Sutton on the Grasshopper, what chance did I have on my dirt bike? The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “From the River Styx. Very hard to craft. Very delicate. It cannot melt, but it will shatter when you blow it, so you can only use it once.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Styx and I got up and chased after the boxcar. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Sure enough, we were already walking, stretching ourselves to keep pace with Styx’s long-legged stride. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Within minutes, one thing was perfectly clear: Styx Malone had never been to a bonfire before in his life. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The path to Styx’s place was familiar now. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We went on into the living room, where Styx was laid out on the couch with a bunch of pillows under him, looking perky as all get-out. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx pushed my bike, Bobby Gene pushed his, and I walked in between them, hands out to steady the stuff. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z This was sure to be it for us and Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We followed Styx through the woods till we hit the county road. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z In my mind, all I saw was Styx twisted. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z But...Styx’s words from earlier floated back to me. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Bobby Gene and Cory rode their bikes and I balanced on my own handlebars in front of Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx wasn’t going hungry, we knew, but hot dogs were a treat for all of us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The waitress saw Styx slip his candy cigarette from his pocket. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Does this Styx Malone have a car? Have you been joyriding around with some reckless teenager? Do you have any idea what could happen?” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z It didn’t escape my notice that both Styx and Pixie had beach towels slung over their shoulders. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z They stood in Charon’s boat, crossing the Styx. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Styx does whatever he feels like,” I reminded him. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “It’s also hard to take care of a swimming pool,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx climbed out of the water and back onto the rocks. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z That’s when I noticed she had her arm around Styx’s waist too. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z They must forbear to kill the hounds of Zeus, she said, but she swore by the waters of the Styx, the oath that none can break, that they would never again trouble Phineus. Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes 1942-01-01T00:00:00Z Mom was grilling Styx just as good as the fish. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z How to tell Styx we weren’t allowed to swim? The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “We could tell you, or we could show you,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Sure enough, the next thing we saw was Styx Malone himself. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Dad had had four—his two and Styx’s dropped ones. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Not bad,” Styx commented as he sipped the shake. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx rolled out his tales real slow, keeping us on the hook. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We ended up stationing Styx in the flowerbed outside our bedroom. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx stared into the butt end of the little white stick. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “I don’t live here. I’m just staying here,” Styx answered. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We rushed up onto the porch just in time to hear Styx shout, “Everybody get off my back!” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I needed another dose of the fearless, flying Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Pike’s Place Auto Parts. We can call them and see if we can find out who Styx made the deal with.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Zeus was madly in love with her and told her that anything she asked of him he would do; he swore it by the river Styx, the oath which not even he himself could break. Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes 1942-01-01T00:00:00Z Styx grinned as he slapped us five, one with each hand. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “I have to do chores around the house anyway,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Maybe Styx just had a thing for green automotive paint. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z But we didn’t know that much about Styx yet. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx puffed on the stub of his candy cigarette. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Bobby Gene moved back, placing himself between Styx and me. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “You live long enough, you pick up a few things,” Styx said, raising a shoulder. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx was still in a bit of a mood. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Finally Styx pulled over at the edge of a soybean field. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z He pointed to the lunch box in Styx’s hand. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “My kind of crazy, I guess,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We couldn’t leave with Styx while Cory was at the house. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I was close enough to touch Styx’s magic. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Daddy’s gonna put you on a sailboat across the River Styx.” Paper Towns 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx was rough around the edges, for sure. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z But I didn’t want to wait, and I knew Styx wouldn’t either. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z When she poked her head into the light, she had long, light hair, much more similar to Pixie than Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx wore a blue-dotted hospital gown and a bandage on his forehead. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Styx isn’t like that,” I whispered to the forks. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx had sure eaten enough of it too. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z As the train sped up, Styx moved to the doorway. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “We can’t take Styx in. It’s a huge responsibility, and very expensive to add another child to the household.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I didn’t know how to explain to Dad about Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “But I’m bringing all the expertise,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “I’m fixing to check it out again one of these days,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx stood with his shoulder against the open doorway, watching the landscape glide by faster and faster. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Glancing over my shoulder, Styx said, “Or maybe it’s not the whole world who needs to know it.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Naw. He comes all the way to the ER and doesn’t even say hello? Anyway,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z A powerful grin and a lotta smooth talk—did Styx Malone feel like he was looking in a mirror? The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z The paramedics scooped Styx onto their bright yellow board, sliding him flat, like a pancake. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I got tucked between Styx and Pixie, our legs dangling over the brook. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We were meant to clean up and follow her, and Styx was meant to go home. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx drew on his candy cigarette, in the way that meant he had a lot of thoughts he wasn’t going to say. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Sometimes doing wrong feels right, and vice versa,” Styx countered. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx knew that guys like him and me...we were something more. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z All I knew for sure was that Styx Malone knew how to fix everything. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx’s eyes glowed in the lapping of the flames. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z With Styx’s charm set on low, we were no longer fearless adventurers. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx pointed to the brown paper sack in my hand. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z He didn’t remember any dip in the Styx. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Sis-ter,” Styx repeated, drawing it out like Bobby Gene was slow. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Proving ourselves to Styx meant showing him all we had to offer. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z All I wanted was to make a difference for Styx, the way he’d made a difference for us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I made it all the way to the edge of the Styx woods before I realized I was walking toward nothing. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Then she officially forbade us to hang out with Styx. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We couldn’t leave Styx hanging out to dry. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx pulled the wad of cash from his pocket. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z We trooped down the stairs and watched as Styx drove away with Mr. Pike in his truck. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Out of nowhere, Styx added, “It’s like building a bonfire to burn up all the things you hate. Except tiny, and all the time.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Flora,” Styx said absently, twirling another clover stem. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx Malone didn’t believe in miracles, but he was one. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx had no more claim on the woods than we did. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx, by the roadside, straddling the bike, with joy stamped across his face. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Bobby Gene handed Styx the third fishing pole and we traipsed into the woods. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Styx has been to the Children’s Museum ten times,” I reported, hoping to get him off the hot seat. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Worry about Styx was the only thing on my mind. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx smacked his forehead, then clutched his chest. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I liked taking each crazy dive into the world of Styx Malone. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “We can pay off Cory with his share of this first deal,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx carefully placed the lunch box in the spot where the motor had been, to complete the trade. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I was holding fifty bucks in my hand right then, so I would’ve agreed to anything Styx Malone suggested. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Instead, Styx put his hand on my shoulder. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I held on to the doorjamb with my other hand and Styx heaved until I belly-flopped into the train car. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx knew how to paint a picture, but Cory was a tough customer. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “An escalator trade is pretty simple,” Styx assured us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx flew up like his seat was on fire. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx stalked toward the woods, madder than a hornet and all alone. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z "When I was at the River Styx, turning invulnerable... Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal." The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z To stand by Styx’s bedside and be sure he was really all right. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z But Styx, not having a mom of his own and all, was never one to pick up on these things. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z He had bathed in the River Styx and taken on the powers of the greatest mortal hero, Achilles. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “I still think it was the right thing to do. And you saw Styx.” The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Winner takes all! I win, we all go free. You win, we die. Swear upon the River Styx.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z The space between Styx and us was supposed to be different than home. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z But there was no way to convince Styx Malone once he’d made his mind up about something. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx did that wary thing where he tucked his neck back and looked Dad up and down. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z When Styx was up and over, at the top of the fence, he reached back for the gunnysack. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z And I understood something else: When Luke had descended into the River Styx, he would’ve had to focus on something important that would hold him to his mortal life. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z I wasn’t sure if it was a leftover reaction from my dip in the Styx, or anticipation of what I was about to do. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Styx shot Bobby Gene a “hush up” look. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z To our right, the River Styx gushed from the rocks and roared off in a cascade of rapids. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “You guys are all right too,” Styx answered. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Maybe Styx and I should’ve left him at home for this one. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx hitched his chin over his left shoulder. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx’s eyes shifted, like he was looking to see who else was with us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx shoved one end of the stick through the bandanna knot, then hiked the pack up over his shoulder, like a real old-timey hobo. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I did my best to brace him while Styx reached down and lifted Bobby Gene’s legs into the train. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “The lawn mower’s not going to work,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z I would not be moved from this spot until I knew Styx Malone was all right. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “I will take them over to Styx’s house in the morning,” Mom said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx sat on the edge of the floor, his legs dangling out the door. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx’s long-legged stride drew him ahead of us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Before meeting Styx, our best story was about the time Bo Hopkins, the Pacers’ power forward, rode through town on his way to some charity event. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “If we went into the city, Styx could show us around,” I said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Can you give us a ride to the Styx?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Maybe we couldn’t consider ourselves “alone” since Styx was with us. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “This is the one we want,” Styx said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Was the water of the Styx flowing beneath his fingers, or maybe the Lethe? The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Styx was the first one out of the car. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Any moment now, Styx would launch into some outlandish tale that could not possibly be true, unless he was some kind of celebrity. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z “Yeah, Styx got us more than we expected,” Bobby Gene said. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx pulled a candy cigarette from his pocket, one-handed. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx puffed on his candy cigarette and scrubbed at the lunch box like it was going to save his life. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z Styx, gazing across the field, looking nervous and kind of scared.
