"Nico I'm so sorry, it must have been painful seeing her again"- Percy tried to comfort the Ghost King.

"It's fine Perce, I'm Actually glad she didn't come back I finally got over her death and besides If someone's coming back from the dead it's gonna be you, now come on!"- said the son of Hades in tears.

Seeing as they had no other choice the three demidogs opened the door.

Behind the door was a 1000 feet long, wide, high ceiling corridor with several lit torches on each wall to provide light, going downhill to a doorway to another chamber. As the boys walked in the door closed behind them leaving them a bit frightened. As they began walking a huge boulder appeared behind them and was heading straight for them. They started running and as they ran rows of spikes started appearing on random sides of the corridor. The demigods were able to dodge the spike but half way to the entrance to the next chamber there was a bottomless pit in the ground. Seeing as the pit wasn't wide enough to stop the boulder Jason grabbed Nico and flew them to the bottom of the bottomless pit (really wanted to say that!). Once the boulder had passed the pit the son of Jupiter used the forces of the wind to levitate himself and Nico out (Percy stayed behind as he was in no real danger). Now they had a major problem, the boulder was blocking the doorway to the next chamber. All three of them thought for a few minutes before Nico came up with an idea.

"Seaweed brain, go through the boulder and describe the next chamber to me so I can shadow travel us there!"-ordered Nico. Percy blushed a bit, it was rare for Nico to use that nickname of his.

What the son of Poseidon saw once he was throught the doorway didn't look promising at all. There was an endless, steep, shiny, golden staircase going uphill.

"Oh, come on, really, what does someone have to do to get a magic herb around here?!"- shouted the Sea Prince in frustration. He came back and described the staircase to Nico. The son of Hades shadow travelled them there and fainted shortly afterwards. He wake up to Jason and Percy's worried faces with one heck a headache, this was the last time he was shadow travelling on this quest. They started climbing up the stairs which must have taken at least half an hour until hey finally reached the top only to find another endless set of shiny, golden stairs gong downhill.

All three of them sighed in tiredness and annoyance and began climbing down the steep stairs.

At the bottom there were 3 doors. Above the first one there was a picture of a rabbit, above the second one a bird and above the third one a cobra.

"Which one do we go in?"- asked the Sea Prince.

"The one with the snake!"- answered the son of Hades as if it was something obvious and started walking towards the door.

"And why would we do that?"- asked the blonde Roman.

"Because forture favours the bold." - asked Nico with a smirk on his face.

Jason had to admit, that kid had guts. Inside the latest chamber there was nothing in particular exept an odd looking floor. It was made of two types of tiles, ones were golden and shiny and the other ones were brownish-red. On the other side was another doorway.

"What ever you do, do not step on the brown tiles!"- warned the Italian.

"Why not?"- asked the son of Jupiter.

"Because there's only one thing that can make gold look like that!-Vulcanic gas, meaning there's lava underneath!"-explained the olive-skinned demigod.

"Oh"- could be heard coming out of Jason's mouth, who was a bit embarrassed.

They walked really, really carefully but halfway to the doorway the clumsy son of Jupiter just had to step on a brown tile. Luckily he immidiately moved his leg to a golden one.

"Phew!"-sighed Jason in relief.

"Don't Phew yet, look!"- pointed the son of Hades towards the entrance. The tiles had started falling into the earth. Jason quickly grabbed Nico and flew them to the doorway. The three of them were now at the doorway. They looked back and all they could see wasd a pool of lava where the tiles were moments ago.

"I swear this place is worse than Tartarus"- barked Nico.

"Hey don't talk about that place it still gives me nightmares!"-commanded the son of Poseidon.

"How can you have nightmares, you are a ghost for Gods' sakes!"- said Jason.

"Oh, yeah I forgot."-said the Sea Price a little embarrassed.

"How do you forget that you are a ghost!"-said Nico amused.

"What can I say, you guys make me feel so alive."- explained the green eyed demigod.

"And soon you will be Percy, that's a promise."-said the Ghost King. They continued waliking when they saw a table next to a doorframe. The door was actually up as it closed vertically.

"Get the table through the entrance"- said Nico.

"Why"-asked Jason.

"You'll see"-answered Nico.

Once the demigods and the table were inside the room the door closed and the ceiling started coming down fast. All of them ducked under the table.

"Now do you see?!"-grinned Nico.

"How do we get out, now?"- asked the son of Poseidon.

"Well according to my knowledge of ancient temples, since there are no spikes on the ceiling, it should be hallow, so Percy check it out."- explained the son of Hades.

Percy went right through the ceiling and as it turns out the Ghost King was right it was hallow and there was a trap door. He returned to the other two and told them where it was. Now they were all standing in the hallow ceiling and it started moving up. They realised it must be some sort of elevator.
