Summary
Before the young god-prince learns of his mother and plots his escape, Zagreus wishes for a bit of earth to plot a garden.
The prince consults Achilles, of all souls, about the act of growing things. Asks for Achilles to describe to him the plants and flowers and trees of the surface world, from the shape of their leaves to their texture and smell. Asks how deep the roots of trees go, what it is like to sit beneath their shade, and listens raptly to all Achilles says of the worms and beetles who live in the dirt.
“I’m afraid I rather took it all for granted.” Achilles admits, ashamed, one day-or-night as Zagreus sits cross-legged on the floor of his chambers patiently while Achilles tries, and fails, to draw a passable image of an olive tree on a sheet of parchment.

Summary
“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” – Lewis Carroll
Mardi Gras is a celebration of overindulgence. It is a day to consume and enjoy in preparation for what is to come. On a whim, Hannibal and Will walk the streets of New Orleans, eager to take part in the feast. They may not be preparing for Lent, but they are more than happy to partake of those who are.
(Sequel to Black Rock Mountain)
