A/N: this chapter is very different than what actually happened in the labyrinth so it's just my imagination.

Percy:

The next morning:

When Annabeth left my cabin last night I could hardly function. My heart felt as if it was going to explode and not for the reasons I thought it would. I cringed at the fact that I just kissed Annabeth with only knowing her for a short time. I hated it that I took advantage of her like that, how could I have done such a thing.

I packed my bags and got ready for the quest. I realized that I didn't have my orb any longer. I searched through the cabin looking high and low wondering where it could have been. Then I remember dropping it at the big house as I ran back to my cabin.

I finished packing and ran back to the big house and saw that Annabeth was already there. I saw her holding the orb. Her long flowing hair was tied up in a ponytail and she was wearing an orange camp T-shirt.

Annabeth handed me the orb, "be careful with that, it's our only way to fix what has happened." Chiron ordered and walked back into the big house.

Annabeth and I made our way to Zeus' fist and noticed that my sister was there. "What, she's coming to?" I asked. "Yes, Katie has gone on every quest with me since I was twelve. So has Grover and he's coming to we just need to wait for him." Annabeth replied.

"Wait, wait, wait, I haven't even heard the prophecy yet I need to know what we are doing and why we are doing it." I stammered.

"Well it goes like this" Annabeth started

"You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze,

The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise.

You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand,

The Child of Athena's final stand.

Destroy with a hero's final breath,

And lose a love to worse than death."

"That's right, but tell me again why I have to come" Grover said trotting up behind me. "Because Grover, we need a protector and we need your help, plus this way you might find Pan," Annabeth replied emphasizing Pan.

"Wait what, Pan is missing?" I asked worried about my former teacher. "No ones seen him in over ten thousand years Percy, if you have any information on where he is you have to tell us." "I don't know anything, but we should get going, we have a lot to do with very limited time" I replied picking up my bag that was on the ground and shoving it into the chaos portal.

Two by two we walked into the crevasse of the rocks in Zeus' fist. Annabeth placed her hand back on the rock side, a blue triangle I hadn't noticed before light up, and almost instantaneously the floor fell below me.

I moved out of the way as Katie and Grover jumped in after me. "Forma gladio" I whispered and I felt the familiar burn on my forearm, my sword appeared in my hand flame already burning. "This should lite the way" I said proudly.

Annabeth and I led while Katie and Grover brought up the back, the maze was only around 7 feet wide and 8 feet tall, the wall was dressed with mossy cobblestone and the floor was littered with large divots and cracks.

We began walking but I had no idea where we were going. Soon we entered a large cylinder shaped room, with a large owl statue in the middle. "Where now Annabeth?" Katie asked. "I have no clue, I think the owl has some importance to it," Annabeth said walking towards the giant owl.

I turned around facing the way we came, "I've got a bad feeling about this" I said noticing the darkness in the tunnel fade until there was no tunnel at all. "Guys we need to get out of here now" I said realizing some green gas escaping from the ground.

Turing around I noticed that I was alone. Looking around I raised my sword lighting the room. The cylinder shape now was a square shape that was slowly closing. The strange thing about the room was that the owl was still in the center wings stretched out hovering over me, staring into my eyes.

The grey scale began to fade being replaced by black feathers. A screech pained my ears, I had to drop my sword and cover my ears and before I knew it the owl's beak was striking down on me.

Letting instincts take over I raised my left hand over my head and my bracelet sprung to life like a flower in spring into a shield. The beak landed a solid hit against my shield leaving a dent in the metal.

I pulled a throwing knife from my portal and threw it at the owl, it was easily swatted down and the owl began to… laugh… "Did u just laugh?' I asked. "Why yes I do have high intelligence so its funny how a mortal of your species would think it could be able to kill me with a knife, maybe Ares but even he would have to use a more specialized weapon.

"Oh so your smart are you?" I asked, "Yes I'm even smarter than Athena." The owl raised its chest. "Really, then you could tell me where the string of Ariadne is?" I wondered, "of course I could tell you were it is but if afraid that Luke already has it and is making his way towards your camp." The owl snickered.

"Not so fast owl, if you're so smart how could you possibly be so blinded by a reflection in some ice?" I asked throwing my tomahawk strait at his head from behind him, "apparently giant owls don't appear in ice." I said to myself.

Looking for an exit as the green gas rose up to my knees I jumped up on the pedestal the owl was balancing on. In the center of the pedestal a giant hole fell for what seemed like forever.

I felt the warmth of my sword return to my body in the form of its tattoo without having to say the words I was able to summon my sword into my hand, the flame in the center lit up the hole, I jumped into a free fall landing hard only 10 feet down. The gas wasn't flowing in the hole and instantly three large monitors lit up around me, one to my left one to my right and one in front of me.

Each showed one of my quest members fighting the owl. Annabeth was talking to the owl while Katie was going head on sword vs. beak and Grover was playing something on his read pipes that seemed to be tiring the owl.

I noticed how each of the owls would attempt to skillfully kill its opponent, while it would overthink itself and end up becoming its own demise. First to find the whole was Annabeth, she tripped into the hole and I caught her as she fell.

Secondly was Katie who jumped in not needing a rescuing save and finally Grover was able to make the owl sleep and he too jumped in the hole.
