Back at the gods' temple, griffin and gypsies skulk about in a daze. . They're not sure what's going on, but they've got a plan: they're going after abby, and they'll need his blessing before they can go after him. The gods' priestesses , who've come to visit the gods, tell yukio that he's a good player, but that he can't play the part of a real hero. They go off to mount parnas sus, the home of the Nine Muses and the Oracle at delphi, to find out what happened to abby. They find out that she's been cooped up in her room for the last few months, and that she doesn't want to get out of it. They have to find a way to get rid of her, pronto.
