Chiron the Centaur God has agreed to take Demon under his hooves and teach him w
hat he knows about healing magical beasts. Being an apprentice healer is excitin
g, but Demon still needs to make sure the Stables are fresh and clean (the faint
est whiff of manure and the goddesses will be on the warpath again.) But with Ar
nie the grumpy Griffin suffering from feather drop and without his magical medic
ine box - Chiron has forbidden Demon to ask for its help as a first test of his
healing skills - Demon is feeling the pressure. Not helped at all when Athene, G
oddess of Wisdom, appears seeking help from Chiron.
The world's only Phoenix
has gone blind and it has lost its voice too. If it can't see to build its magic
al nest, and it can't sing the magical songs of renewal (both of which happen on
ly once every hundred years), then the fire demons who the Phoenix guards will e
scape and burn up earth - and Olympus. Chiron is nowhere to be found, so Demon m
ust drop everything and take a trip with the goddess to the Mountains of Burning
Sand...
