I was shocked at what she was telling me. I shook my head. She was delirious and she needed help. "Lets get yo to camp."

* i grab her elbow and spin her around. No, it's too dangerous. people are dying. we need a team, we need a plan.
I look at the scene that is playing out before me. As I pick up the shield, making sure it contains what it is supposed to contain, I say: "I got a plan... But you might not like it..."I make sure everyone is as calm as possible, and then make Arnold go full-on monster. I make everyone hold on to Arnold and shadowtravel us out of harm's way. The last thing I see before I black out is Zaynah ghostly white face
(Uh... KO? I'm ok with deleting this conversation. :-) )
(sure...where should we start)
(Comment 312? Thats an easy starter.)
(oookkk then i will start)I HAVE A PLAN!!!! twirls a few times, chewing vigorously on a green apple, which just appeared out of thin air in my hand.... *stops twirling and turns back to Zaynah and kmaefantasy, still munching on the bright green apple* *continues munching for a bit while kmaefantasy and Zaynah stand staring at me*
*drops apple core on hot lava-y ground* "Weeeelll....THAT bit I haven't QUITE figured out yet.....but I'm working on it!" I say brightly, then pick a new apple, red this time, and begin munching on that one.
I shake my head in disappointment. "Anyone ELSE have a plan?" I ask. Then it hit me. "Anyone a child of Hephaestus?" I ask, a plan formulating in my mind.
"Um.... well...I haven't exactly been claimed or anything yet....soooooo I don't really know what I am... But I think I'm probably a kid of Athena if that helps any.."
Poo. "Well... there goes that plan." I say with sorrow in my voice.
"What was it? I might still be a kid of Hs- no, I'm definetly NOT a kid of Hephaestus... sorry..."
"My plan was to have him/her pull those lava rocks together, thus forming a bridge. Sense the children of Hephaestus are immune to heat, the lava wouldn't faze them much. But, it went down the drain along with our idea of Hephaestus children." I explain.
"Ohhhhh... Well... I suspect we need to come up with a new plan then...hmmm...wait, anyone got a drachma?" I hold out my hand expectantly.
"Why?" I ask, slowly moving my hand to my pocket were I kept my money. I pulled out 3 drachma, but didn't give them to rubyfirewoods12.
"Well, we could just make a call to somebody at camp and have them get us out of here. But then again.... if they have no way to reach us... and I don't even know if these messages work in Tartarus.. never got the chance to try it out..."
"Yeah, and where are we gonna get the mist for a rainbow down here?" I ask. Suddenly, a giser opened up, blasting steam everywhere. "Well, there we go!! But there is no sunlight to shine through it and make a rainbow." I said. "But, its worth a try!!!" I said, tossing him the drachma.
*catches drachma and does that whole ritual thingie for the rainbow goddess* *Stays there, kneeling for a bit, and when nothing happens I sheepishly stand up, shrugging my shoulders* "Guess we'll have to travel the hard way, come on, help me wake these guys up" I say.
We spread out and start shaking people awake. I had to slap a few to get them going. "Sorry." *SLAP* "Sorry. Get up!!!" Finally when everyone was up, I walked over to rubyfire. "So... your plan?" I ask, awaiting orders.
I stand there for a moment, confused, but with everyone staring at me I slowly say, "Well....uh...um... how about...we...why don't we follow Percy's route? You know, when he....uh... went into this...lovely... place with Annabeth... but we'll need supplies... for the fumes and... monsters..." (as you all begin to see, I am not the ideal leader for this expidition).
I roll my eyes. I walk over to the front of the crowd and take over. "Alright, people!!! Lets get out of this stink hole!!! To-do that, we need all the supplies we can get. What ever you have brought with you, pile it up in front of me. We will move on when the supplies is done. Everyone who has been claimed and is a leader, follow me." I shouted. I start walking over to a corner with sand layer out in a thin way. "Ruby, you can come too if you like." I said.
I sigh with relief. "Oh, 'course I'm coming! You think I wanna stay in this... stinkhole, as you said? No way! I'm coming with, maybe someone will claim me on the way!" I say brightly. "And here," I throw an old, musty blanket on the supply pile. "You wanna know what that is? I'll tell you, that's a food blanket! It will produce whatever food you want from it's covers." I ignore kmaefantasy's sceptcical look and continue, "it was my grandfather's."
"Well...that could be very useful!!!" I said. I stared at the blanket and raise an eyebrow. Then I looked away and back at Ruby. "Lets go talk strategies." I said to the group following me to the sand pile.
"I Think we need weapons. we only have a phew. i have my sword, kmaefantasy has her dagger and theirs only one shield. sharpen swords, carve bark, shape the marble. we need anything lethal we can get our hands on...i mean this plan is fine and all but eventually well reach the camp and we need protection...
i am still talking when suddenly the enormous boulder before us opens... we all gasp...the door, a secret of 1000 years ago...someting that had been hidden for generations...
THE HIDDEN DOOR TO THE LABYRINTH...WE HAD OUR ANSWER...

I see the blue mark of Daedalus. "The Labyrinth. We're... we're saved." I whispered. I was so shocked I was speechless. I shook my head out of the trance. I look around at everyone who was still in shock.
"Uh..." I said hoarsely. I cleared my throat and tried again. "Listen up, people!!! This is an entrance to the Labyrinth. This is our escape rout. We have to hurry before it..." I was interrupted by a rumbling. It sounded like a stamped of something. I saw shadows dancing on the walls. Monsters were coming and wanting to escape. "Everyone!!! Hurry into the entrance!!! The monsters are coming to take it!! Grab the supplies and go, go, go!!!" I bark. People were dashing around in panic. "In the Labyrinth, NOW!!!" they obeyed. I turned around and stood at the entrance, silver dagger drawn. "Run!! I'll hold 'em off!!" I shouted at them.

"no way... your not doing that on your own. all of you in!" i shout at the team. then i help kmaefantasy to hold off the monsters... sweat, tears, aching painful screams and finally with another enormous struggling heave... they were away and the boulders floor slammed and everything went black
I remember fighting like crazy, finally fending them off, then hitting my head on something. Then everything was off. I awoke to a searing pain on my lower left rib. I sat up and saw Zaynah laying next to me, still unconscious.
I start feeding ambrosia and nectar to people, and make sure everyone's OK as can be. I make a fire, and start waiting."Does anyone have Rachel on speed dial?" I ask, when people start to wake up.
"No. Any other mortals gifted with a rare blessing that we just happen to know in our contacts?" I ask sarcastically.
"There's no need to be like that, we're all in this together." I say while keeping the fire lit. I notice Rubyfirewoods has yet another apple."Where did you get that?" I ask.
"Sorry. I guess almost being killed can make a person grumpy." I grumbled.I stared at the apple, wondering where it came from myself.
i also stare at the apple and wonder where it suddenly appeared. maj and kmaefantasy begin to approach the apple cautiously but i stop them hesitantly i take a step forward and then without warning the apple explodes. fire smoke and scream surround us. "i thought that mat appeared food, not fruit shaped explosives.
I cleared the smoke out the tunnel's cracks and made sure everyone was ok. "What in the name of Hades was that!?!?" I almost shout.
"Well, I might be stating the obvious, but that was a bomb." I say sarcasticly. "A small one, but still s bomb." I look at Rubyfirewoods. "Now I really want to know where you got them, because I get the idea you got them from my, ahum, loving stepmom. Though I have no idea why she'd want us dead-ish."
*I stand, frozen, my hand still up to my mouth, about to take a bite* "Ummmm well.... I sort of keep finding apples and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches everywhere... don't you guys see them? They're everywhere! But I didn't know that one was explosive..." *I sit down, still in shock, and not much use to anyone*
"Wha... you see food everywhere? I've never seen anything like that. And they only become visible when you make contact with them..." my voice trails off in deep thought. It couldn't be...
*comes to senses and stands up* *walks a few paces and, grinning, picks up a new, juicy, red delicious apple* "Yum!"
"DON'T!" I shout. Luckily I caught him before a big bite. "I need some experiments with that. Put it down, gently." I said, an urgent tone in my voice.
"Rubyfirewoods, no more apples and pbj's OK? Let's just get away from this place. I don't like the fact that we're still so close to Tartarus." I pick up Arnold, put him back on my shoulder and start walking down the tunnels.
"Maybe we are close, maybe we aren't. We could be on top the Rockies right now. Or under the ocean. We could be anywhere." I said.
Can you guys not feel the air bits damp. Moist. We're in Poseidon land. As soon S I say the words an enormous trident appears above our heads
"What the..." I mutter. I stare at the tridents and wonder what just happened. They puff into green mist and drift off on some unseen breeze, leaving a sea smell behind.
"Oh, jolly..." I say, as I watch the group follow the smell. I notice Arnold is getting restless. I pick him up from my shoulder and Arnold grows full size. "What is it, boy? It's only uncle P's, right? No bad people, just, eh, friendly relatives."
I turn and see full sized Arnold and muffle a scream. "Can... can you make him small again, please?" I squeak. I clear my throat and continue in a more sturdy voice, "He can't fit through the tunnels fast enough." I signal everyone to follow me and Zaynah and rubyfire. Then I start jogging, tring to keep up with the mist/smell.
"I. Am. Trying." I say with all the restraint I can muster. "Come on, Arnold. It's not that bad..." I say, getting Arnold's attention back on me instead of Kmae. "I mean, you could be at Tripple G." I turn to the group. "I'll try to get him to Cerebrus. They'll love playing together. You go on without me. I'll catch up." I grab Arnold by his horn, dragging him away from Kmea. We shadowtravel away, leaving the group following the smell to Poseidon's.
In a flash they were gone. I exhaled in relief that Arnold was gone. And we jogged on after the sweet smell of the sea.
*I am following the group, pouting, because I can't eat my apples* I ignore oversized Arnold and jogged up to kmae* "So, where are we heading, exactly?" I ask, trying to ignore the millions of shiny, juicy apples all around me.
"Hopefully an exit. Somewhere BESIDES Tartanus." I said, catching up with the mist.
"And what is this mist stuff? Does this mean if we were to dig straight up we would go into the ocean? But no, we wouldn't smell the air if millions of pounds of water is on top of us.... so are we near a beach then?"
