CHAPTER 7

The silence in the Big House was eerie. Camp Half-Blood was not meant to be a silent and gloomy place and the silence in the Big House was quite disconcerting. The Cabin Heads were all sitting in their seats with Frank and Reyna as praetors from Roman Camp. Some were standing in the corners of room looking at the emotions going through different persons. Chiron sat at the head of the table in his wheelchair while all of them waited for Hermione and Calypso.

Harry was standing at the back of the room and was about to go look for Hermione when the doors opened and in came Hermione and Calypso. Calypso went and stood next to Leo while Hermione nodded at large at the room and then made her way towards Harry and stood alongside him.

Chiron started the meeting with greetings and the valiant efforts of the Heroes that died in the attack last night. They discussed the causalities and damage done to the camp before going towards the important questions that needed to be answered.

Frank asked "I don't understand how the basilisk could have crossed the magical borders and entered the camp."

"I think that since the basilisk is not a Greek monster, it could have entered the camp. That's the only explanation I can think of." answered Percy.

"Or the basilisk could have entered the Camp underground."Chiron further told them, "I believe that the basilisk came through an underground tunnel. It's more likely an explanation as it is also a magical creature and should not have been able to cross the border."

"I agree and we also need to find out how the monsters are able to appear in an alley or street instantly. It's like they just appear there out of thin air." agreed Jason.

Hazel voiced the issue that had been nagging all of them for hours, "And we need to find out the meaning of the prophecy and also what do we do about it?"

"I believe what the prophecy means is that the wizards and the demigods have to come together and fight this enemy, whoever it is. Either we will save the world or it would get engulfed in eternal darkness. What we need to figure out at first is how these monsters are picking us off guard and who is behind all this." said Chiron.

Harry noticed Percy and Annabeth arguing in whispers. He was not the only one who had noticed and Chiron asked them about the same.

Annabeth looked at Chiron and said, "I think that the monsters might be using the Labyrinth. This would enable them to be able to come out of nearly everywhere and it a basilisk could easily live there and move freely. So, Labyrinth is the only logical choice."

Hermione interrupted her, "The Labyrinth?"

"Deadlus, a son of Athena built the Labyrinth to originally imprison the Minotaur, but soon the Labyrinth got somewhat out of his control and developed a mind of its own. It expanded itself and no one would be able to survive it without someone who can see through mist as Rachel. Deadlus died a few years back and the Labyrinth collapsed as it was tied to his life force. But in last war against Gaia, Pasiphae remade the Labyrinth. It expanded itself once again under America."

Chiron stroked his beard in while he was lost in thoughts. He had a far-off gaze and said "It's possible. Deadlus had a bit of control over Labyrinth when he was alive and controlled it to an extent. But now it is more deadly than before as there is no one to control it. It has its own mind and would have only become more deadly than your time in it during your quest."

Clarisse had paled and glared at Chiron before shaking her head and said with some hysteria in her voice, "Chiron, you can't send them to the Labyrinth. You know how dangerous it is. I was only there for a few weeks and I have no intention of going back there. It is more dangerous now. They won't survive a day down there."

Everyone digested the news in silence before Harry broke it, we don't have any other clue here. The Labyrinth maybe dangerous and deadly but it is our only chance. We need to stop those creatures and to do that we would have to go in there to cut the root of all problems."

Percy looked straight up into Harry's eyes and then said at large to the room" I agree. The Labyrinth is full of traps and dangerous monsters but it could lead us to our enemy or could give us a clue to his identity. Rachel would not be able to guide us through this time but I think we may be able to manage to complete the quest together."

Chiron smiled at both of them and then announced to the room at large," So, it is decided that these eight Heroes and the two wizards will go on a quest through the Labyrinth to find salvation to our problem."

"But they don't have Celestial Bronze or Imperial Gold weapons. They would not be able to do much harm to monsters with magic. They would need swords." said Reyna.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other before Harry asked "Can you give me some melted Celestial Bronze or Imperial Gold?"

Leo frowned and asked them the purpose.

Harry smirked and summoned his sword out of thin air before placing it on the table and explained" This sword is one of the finest magical item in the wizarding world. It is goblin made and has several magical properties. One of them is that it absorbs the power of any object or material that makes it stringer. So, if it comes in contact with melted Celestial Bronze, it would absorb the metal and its properties."

Everyone looked impressed with the regal sword while Leo looked like a two year old who was moments away from opening his presents.

"But what about you, Hermione?" asked Piper.

Hermione hesitated and Harry nudged her with his shoulder before she straightened and stepped forward. She drew a sword from her undetectable extended bag, a long sword with patterns carved into it. Its handle was black with patterns carved into it in with silver. It looked royal and had a bright shine to.

Hermione looked at Chiron and asked in an emotionless voice" Chiron, would The Sword of Nuadu, part of the four legendary treasures of Tuatha Dé Danann suffice?"

Chiron looked stunned at seeing the sword before he raised his shocked face to Hermione and sputtered."T-the S-sword of N-nuadu, uh, um yes, yes it would suffice, it would me more than enough...
