Chapter 10/ Oh that's who he is
On the floor next to me are my hunting knifes in the dirt.
"Please get up Phoenix" yelled Lilly. I grabbed the knifes off the ground and stood up. But as soon as I was standing strait the hydra's tail flung me into the ocean. I was lying on my back in the water when the water suddenly started boiling until it ruptured like a geyser. I landed next to Amber on dry land.
"Turn into your human form and fight me like a man" I said to him. His form flickered and he changed into a regular man.
"How did you know?" asked Amber. I shrugged and said "Lucky guess?" He ran towards me and at the last second I stepped to the side and got him in a headlock. "Where is Daedalus?" I asked him. He replied "If we were in Sparta now, you would know where he is and I would be dead." This mad me angry. "This!" I punched him hard in the face "Isn't!" I punched him again "SPARTA!" I used all off my strength to punch him one last time and he fell in a unconscious lump on the floor at my feet. "Just to make sure, this isn't Sparta right?" I asked. We all looked at Athena.
"We are on the island of Crete. And you just killed the younger brother of Typhon" Athena said.
"I would tell you all the facts about Typhon and his useless brother there but my IPad is broken." Laurabelle said. I put my hunting knifes in my pocket then I walked over to where her IPad was lying in a bundle of smashed up pieces. I waved my hand over it and the pieces knit themselves back together. I handed it back to Laurabelle with a smug look on my face. Athena rolled her eyes and said "Show off."
"Okay" said Laurabelle "it says here that Typhon, is the penultimate son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus, and is the most deadly monster of the Greek world. Typhon attempted to destroy Zeus at the will of Gaia, because Zeus had imprisoned the Titans. Typhon was known as the father of the Nemean lion, Cerberus, and the Gorgons; his wife Echidna was likewise the mother of most of these. Typhon was described as one of the largest and most fearsome of all creatures. His human upper half reached as high as the stars. His hands reached east and west and had a hundred dragon heads on each. He was feared even by the mighty gods. His bottom half was gigantic viper coils that could reach the top of his head when stretched out and made a hissing noise. His whole body was covered in wings, and fire flashed from his eyes. Typhon was defeated by Zeus, who trapped him underneath Mount Etna." we all looked at her weirdly. "Fine it may have exaggerated on the size just a bit" said Laurabelle.
"Can you tell me who Daedalus is now?" I asked
"He is the greatest inventor of all time. He made the labyrinth and much more" Athena said.
"Oh that's who he is" I exclaimed "well in that case I have just figured out where Daedalus is. Where would a great inventor go?" I asked but they all stared at me blankly. ", the place of his greatest creation." I said with a duh sort of tone.
"So we have to go to the place where he made the labyrinth?" Lilly asked. Just then a man appeared. He had blond hair, blue eyes a blue metal headband, a necklace of the moon and a chitin (a/n I think this is the right name) that was blue with gold trim. He was about 40 years old. He put his hand on Amber shoulder and said "You are a lot closer than you think" and then he started to fade.
"What's your name?" I asked
"Dennis..." was all he said before he vanished.
"Well that was helpful" I said. My hunting knifed in my pocket was annoying me so I took them out and looked at them.
"you should name them," Amber said ", most people do."
"ζωή and Θάνατος" I said "meaning life and death"
"Good now let's go to the service entrance for the labyrinth" Amber said. I held my hand in front of me and concentrated.
"trying to control fire?" Lilly asked. I nodded. I gave up after a while.
"Lilly you check the perimeter and Amber you check the woods and I will just hang around these two" I said. They nodded and Lilly jumped into the water, turning into a mermaid then swimming off at unnatural speeds while Amber, using her powers from Artemis, dashed off into the woods.
"Shall we go looking as well?" I asked. They both looked at me.
"I have to get going" Athena said. There was a bright light and Laurabelle looked away but I didn't have to. 10 minutes later Amber came back to see me on Laurabelle's IPad.
"What are you doing Phoenix?" Amber asked me. I showed her the building blueprints on the IPad and she looked shocked.
"Do you like it? I designed it myself" I said.
"It's...It's... Amazing. The looks even better than if Athena made it" she replied and the sky rumbled above us.
"Can I have a copy of it?" I asked Laurabelle. She put a USB stick into a slot on the IPad then, a few seconds later, she took it out and gave it to me.
"It's got my phone number on it as well" she said, winked at me, then walked away. Where did she come from? This was an island wasn't it?
"There was no sign of anything from the water" Lilly said as she came out the water to stand next to me and Amber.
"But I found where it is," Amber said. "about a mile that way" she pointed roughly eastwards. After a bit of arguing and a lot of walking the wrong way we finally made it to the main entrance to the labyrinth.
"This is it" I said as we stepped into the pitch black abyss.
That is the end of that chapter and I hope you liked it. I'm sorry this is late but I was working on the fifth possibly sixth book in the series and I was thinking of ideas for the third one (which is very nearly finished even though I haven't even started the second one). So please leave a review for me and let me know what you think.
