Fire and Water 1)The Darkness Within

Dark Paths

Hey guys, so I decided you needed to know how Ray looks so here you go:



Your welcome.
On with the story.

We sat in my room, some on the bed, the table and me on the French widow with Leo.

When we came back together, key word -together, Percy was overjoyed and very proud of Leo, Piper was overjoyed her 'ship' hadn't drowned and Nico was glaring at Leo.

Percy must've filled him in.
Oh well.

Oh and Magnus kept muttering something about falafels.

Thalia had left for the hunt, but had promised help for later.

"So what are we supposed to do now? ", I asked.
We thought for a minute. A long minute.

" Well, when Aphrodite gave me that blessing, she said we'd have to take, and I quote, "You'll need to go through the most dangerous path. It manipulates distance and will help you reach sooner". I have no clue what that meant though", Leo filled us in.

It seemed like a riddle, and with our luck it probably was , but we had Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, and she would-

"I'VE GOT IT"

-get it.

"It's quite literally the most dangerous, and it does manipulate distance. But you won't like it"
"Tell us wise girl", Percy added gently.

" Dadaeldus' Labrynth"
Percy and Hazel's eyes widened in horror and Leo made this odd choking sound.

I looked around in confusion.
"Um,  not a fan of the Labrynth, I mean last time Hazel made me run into death. ", my boyfriend choked out.

" Not a fan of it either", Percy admitted. "It's all goodbye sunshine and hello darkness there"

"What's the Labrynth? ", I asked utterly bewildered.
Annabeth explained what it was to me.

" And an entrance is where there is a triangular sign, a Delta. "

"Wait a minute, I think I've seen that sign in the spellroom"
"You've got a spellroom? ", Nico asked in wonder.
" Yep, how else do you think I've learned to use my magic or shapeshift? ", I countered.

" You can shapeshift? ", Frank and Alex asked excited .
" Yep"
"Join the club"

"Okay, we'll need to go there", Annabeth stated, interrupting our club session.

Rude, I tell you.

I guide them down the numerous flights of stairs and Leo quipped" Is there an elavator here? "

Honestly, good question.

On reaching the spellroom, Annabeth was intrigued like a mother to a flame. The guys started looking at everything in awe. And Nico fit the aesthetic  of the place so well I was tempted to rent it out to him.

I went to one of the shelf walls that was lined with newts eyes, and other assorted ingredients and powders.

I ran my hand across it and touched the ∆ sign.
A creaking sound was heard and the shelf moved to a side, leaving us with an entrance.

"Imagine what a genius Dadaeldus was, to get the labrynth into The Land Of The Fey as well! ", Annabeth marvelled while Percy stifled a yawn.

I wonder how those two work sometimes.

" Yes, it's wonderful that my land has a deadly maze underneath it", I quip and Annabeth grins.

Clearly the girl needs a lesson in sarcasm.
