Chapter 355

"It's all because of that Calliope! I told you, she's a jinx, bringing nothing but trouble for us!"

Zelda was convinced, almost obsessively so, that Calliope was a harbinger of bad

"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be in this mess. If we hadn't taken her in, none of these damn things would have happened!"

Monty frowned at Zelda, "Could it really be because of her?"
