Ch. 1
Darkness is all around us, the only thing lighting the place are the torch on the either side of the wall, horrible monsters are chasing us, I can hear their footstep and cursing. We are currently looking for the Doors of Death, this part of Tartarus remind me of the labyrinth there are doors on walls that could lead into a desert, or a burning land,we figured it out when I open a door out of curiosity and saw Typhon chain. Each door held a surprise, this maze is like a short cut to different level of Tartarus. A man we met while we were in the desert, told us of a secret maze that only the Primordeal Gods knows about, the maze was hard to find, it move from different level every second,minutes or hours, its unpredictable. The man told us where it will appear next. Me and my companion are running, we have been for a long time. Gaea figured out that we found the maze and she send her minions to hunts us.
I turn to my companion, she's falling behind and she stop, its a wonder she's still alive much less running, she's covered in blood from wounds she got fighting monsters, and some of the wounds from the time we got captured and they tortured us haven't healed yet, I must have look just as worse as her. I went back, she's holding one hand to the hall, she was out of breath "come on Pipes we have to keep going or they'll catch us" I encouraged her, " I am sorry Perce but I can't anymore" I took her other hand and, I reach into my pocket and I held out my last piece of Ambrosia the food of the gods that healed us demigods " here take this" she shake her head and said between breath " I can't its yours" "Don't worry I have one more piece" I lied. She took it and we kept on running. I don't know how long have we been in Tartarus, in here time does not matter, there is no time to think about anything because a monster could jump any moment to eat us, we have to be on alert every moment, this place would turn anyone mad even a God. I would have never survive if weren't for Piper, she's the only one I can trust in this Gods forsaken place. We rely on each other to survive ,she watch my back and I watch hers. To me she's like a light that hold my sanity together, if she weren't here with me I would have lost my sanity long ago and died. I rely on that light to give me strength and courage to live, eventually I came to love that light to point that I feel, I can't exist without her. It was unintentional but the more time we spent together in this place the more I rely on her and fall in love with her.
Finally I saw the door we were looking for, the man told us to look for a door that has the word Death scribe in it " come on, I see the door" I uncapped my trusty sword Riptide and Piper took out Katopris. we stop in front of it, just like the other doors its made of stone that slides. we look at each other and we slide the door, we burst into a corridor, on the right is pure darkness, on the left there is a commotion and a streak of light that hurt my eyes, I pointed to the left " the doors must be over there." I heard my name being called, I look back and, We saw the monster that are chasing us. We slide the door to close it, before it close I saw a Euryale reaching out for me she screech " Nooooo!", Piper said " I am getting sick of all these doors" I put my hand on her shoulders " come on this is the last one" we run to the left and arrive in a big dome, my eyes sting because of the light from being in a darkness for too long, I heard someone yelling and the sound of thunder. It took a while for my eyes to adjust but eventually I could see, monsters line up in front of us, their behind turn on us, at the other side of the dome stood two massive doors with skeletons sticking out as if they were chain in it. One monster notice us then the others followed, until they were all facing us with surprise faces, they were expecting us to die.
I look at Piper and she look me in the eyes, her choppy brown hair that was braided with strip of blood and mud and her kaleidoscope eyes that I have not seen in light for a long time, she could never be more beautiful at this moment. I touch her cheek with my left hand, she touch the back of my hand and press it to her cheek and close her eyes, she open her eyes again and look into mine, and then I kiss her on the lips, the moment our lips touch, I forgot about everything, my mind melted, Its like my sanctuary from all of this nightmare. She kissed me back, we separated I look at her ever changing eyes full of love, and adoration. Now that the end of our journey together is close my mind force me to think about the fate of our love that I have been denying. If we live, I knew that this affair won't last, I knew that from the moment we first kissed, and made love in that cave. We both have people waiting for us beyond that door, people who love us.
"Together?" I said
She smiled "Forever"
We scream our battle cry and together charge at the monsters.
