AN: after the battle of the labyrinth at the avengers would take place. so it would be a few more chapters till we get there. just as a reminder that this is book two and if some hints don't make sense read Lieutenant America.
The following day that Emily and the hunters had performed the usual Burial for a hunter or demigod. They had used silver silk and there was a bow and arrow along with a crescent moon that was embroidered into the silk. When the shroud was finished that Emily had lite up the camp fire with her fire ability and she had used her fire ability to make the fire appear silver. As the shroud tossed in that Emily could smell wildness from the shroud, when it was tossed in that the fire burned brighter and grew larger. Emily watched as the fire shaped itself and a lone tear fell down her cheek as she watched the fire. More than anything she wish that Zoƫ was still alive, she had got back most of her old family but she had lost a member of her new family.
For the next five and half months that the howling commandos and the hunters joined forces to take down the monsters along side Apollo and Artemis. It seem odd to be tracking and hunting down with Apollo and the howling commandos, but in many ways, Emily was glad of it. For the most part that the howling commandos and the hunters got along but there had been times of when they argued with each other. After a week of being away from camp that the hunters and the howling commandos had returned to their camps. Emily had walked a little ways in the forest and went into a clearing hat she visited often after joining the hunt. It was her own little area of where she had come to think and try to keep her mind focus, she still comes her to think form time to time in the last five and half months but not quite as often.
Emily had went over to the pile of rocks that she had climbed up on often, Emily took a different angle, like she usually does, to climb up to the top. What Emily hadn't notice where she had put her hand on the rock was a Delta sign till the rock started to open. Emily had moved her hand and watched as a door slid open, Emily had lean forward and look down into the darkness below. As the smell of underground reached her nose that she understand of what was down there, of which worried her greatly. Emily had turned and ran as the door to the labyrinth closed as she ran back to the hunter's camp. When she entered the camp site that she notice at James, Gabe, Dum Dum and her uncle were talking to Bianca, Thalia, and a couple of otherwise hunters. But Emily notice that Artemis and Apollo were talking to each other, so Emily had ran over to them. When Emily had reached that Artemis and Apollo had looked over at her and Apollo had spoke.
"We were talking about you ..." Apollo hand paused when he had saw that she was a bit out of breath and had a worried look on her face. "What's wrong with you? You look like you seen a ghost or something? Considering that Bianca learned she was a daughter of hades I thought you would be use to see a ghost from time to time."
"Bianca has nothing to do with what I am going tell you."
"What's wrong than?"
"The labyrinth, it still exist."
"How can you be sure on this?"
"Because I found an entrance to the Labyrinth by accident a few minutes ago."
A hour later
Apollo was looking down at the entrance that Emily had once opened a hour ago, the hunters and the howling commandos were standing around it. Her uncle was standing next to her and he looked worried, when he learned about the labyrinth and what it could had caused him worry. Even since the hunters had accepted her uncle and the howling commandos that she knows that her uncle had looked at all the hunters as if they were his nieces as well. Even though he knows that a good many of them were much older than he was, with that fact had made him be worried than what he should be. Apollo had looked up when the door closed and looked at Emily before he spoke.
"I remember that Chiron had sent one of the campers to scout something, I believe that camper was trying to find an entrance to the labyrinth. I am not sure if they had found one, but I suggest that three of the hunters go down in the labyrinth to find Daedalus. For I am sure that the titan's army would try to get to Daedalus. I am not sure if there is a quest that was sent to find Daedalus or not. If there isn't than at least there is someone looking for Daedalus."
"Hang on." Everyone looked at Gabe when he had spoke. "Why must be it be three and why all three must be hunters. Can't the of the howling commandos go. I am sure, the cap, myself and Dum Dum can go in there." Apollo was already shaking his head when Gabe was talking.
"I know that the howling commandos are capable of a lot of things. But the labyrinth would be out of that area. It is design to confuse people and it does more damage with a mortal than a demigod, even with the kind of immortality at you have. Besides if you three leave the labyrinth you won't be able to get in."
"Why is that, Apollo?" Apollo had looked at Emily's uncle before Apollo had spoke.
"Because in order to open the labyrinth you have to touch the Delta symbol."
"We can easily do that." This time it was Dum Dum that had spoke. Emily had spoke before Apollo could say anything.
"It won't respond if you touch, the only way it would open is if a Halfblood touches the symbol. The three of you are not halfbloods, that is the problem."
"Like I said earlier that the howling commandos may not be able to handle the labyrinth expect for James. For James, other than Emily but she doesn't count now she is a hunter, is the only Halfblood among the howling commandos. But I think James going underground might be a bad idea."
"Why?"
"Because I am a son of Zeus that is why."
"Wait, you are a son of Zeus?" Emily and James had looked over at Thalia when she had spoke.
"Yes, I am?" Thalia looked puzzled, Emily understand why because of the prophecy.
"But than why didn't the great prophecy happen already than?"
"Because that prophecy was made shortly after I turned seventeen just as World War II ended. So I wasn't the demigod of the prophecy and I accepted Apollo's offer along with the rest of the howling commandos to become immortal." Emily had walked over to the entrance before she had spoke.
"If anyone who should go down there, it should be, Thalia, Bianca and myself." Emily had looked over at Phoebe before going on. "Phoebe, you lead the hunters while I am gone." Emily was about ready to enter the the labyrinth when her uncle had spoke up and she had looked up at him.
"Look, I know I had learning some things of the godly world from when I learned you were a demigod and since I woke up. But won't going down there be dangerous."
"Very dangerous. It can drive one insane, expect for Daedalus." Apollo had paused and an went on. "Thinking of it, it would be a good idea if here was a clear sighted mortal among you, take Hannah with you as well." Hannah had nodded and Emily smiled when Hannah had walked over to where Emily, Thalia and Bianca was. Emily had looked at her uncle of who looked worried for her and the other three.
"We will be fine Uncle, we have been though worse. I think World War II is worse Han what he four of us would be facing down there or at least close." He uncle had merely nodded, so Emily, Thalia, Bianca and Hannah had jumped into the labyrinth and the entrance had closed behind them.
