Hi! The battle scene does not belong to me! It belongs to The Lord of the Rings! Hehe I love that part.

Ana's POV

Percy has finally healed and Lauryn is no longer becoming that savage beast. THANK THE GODS!

I have no longer that sense of how long we have been in this damn labyrinth. Days. Weeks. MONTHS! I have no idea. My birthday might have passed for all I know! I guess I won't until this is over.

We walk into this tunnel. Sam and Nico decided to tag along, unlike the others who decided to leave us and go their separate ways. It was lined with torches and seemed to go for miles. I think it went underground too. I could here things above me, like monsters fighting for dominance. I chuckled at the thought of them killing each other.

Eventually we stopped since it felt like night. We found a room, a cellar, where we decided to sleep. There seemed to be a well, were a chain was resting along with a bucket. It appeared to be quite deep and empty. The little cubbies where the barrels rested were removed to make appropriate sleeping areas. We always had someone on watch though. I started.

It was boring on my watch. There was a mouse in the corner, either that or a rat, that was trying to get into our food supply, but I just shooed it away every time.

When I got sleepy, I asked Percy to watch. I lay head down on the pillow and seemed to rest for what was like a minute.

What woke me up was the sound of the chain rattling down the well. I sat up, seeing as Elida stood there wincing as it hit the walls and fell to the ground. I looked at Percy who was rubbing his head in annoyance and stupidity of letting Elida take the next watch.

Once the noise stopped and it was once again quiet, I whispered fiercely at Elida, "You fool of a demigod!"

I was about to go and scold her even more when a loud thumping sound diverted my attention, followed by another. And another. Nico got up and looked outside the door. He slammed the door shut when a boulder came smashing toward him. "There's a cave troll!"

We all grabbed our weapons and backed up. I'm just glad the room was pretty big for a cellar.

There was a moment of silence before the troll began to pound on the door, which broke in one smash being made out of wood.

It made us all jump as it entered. Sam, Percy, and Nico charged toward it, with their swords raised. Elida drew her bow, as did Lauryn. She was struggling a bit though…

I did anything I could to not get killed. It ran at me so I ran under it, causing it to be confused a bit before being attacked by Percy, which averted its attention from me to him. Elida jumped on its back, causing it to freak out and try to whack her off, which caused her to fire some arrows at his head in frustration. I took out my dagger and threw it at the troll. It dug into its side and caused it to screech in pain and anger.

My back shivered as it charged at me and I ran behind a pillar. I hold my breath as it searches for me. When I think it left, I breathe out, when all of a sudden it appears and scares the Hades out of me. I scramble away as it chases me. His feet cause me to stumble.

Eventually Nico gets his attention with a stab in the leg. I get a breather for a second before getting a stab in my back. The troll had taken the dagger that I used to hurt him and he chucked it back at me.

"Ana!" I fell and pulled the dagger out, watching as the golden ichor dripped from my wound.

Elida quickly shot an arrow up its mouth, which pieced its brain, killing it from the inside you could say. Once the beast was down, everyone rushed over to me.

"Damn that thing has aim…" I say, wincing as I try to sit up, although everyone else tried to stop me from doing so.

"I guess it does…" Lauryn says, while helping me stand up. I felt a warm tingly feeling and I began to glow, or it seemed.

"I'll be back guys…don't worry," and I disappeared into a bright light. I just hoped that they all averted their eyes.

Nico's POV

She was gone in a flash. We packed up and headed on without her. The tunnel seemed to be less as long, than it had been before and we emerged at a huge gate, which was open. I looked up and gasped as in front of us was the tower. We were done. I bolted forward with Sam at my tail, and Elida, Percy and Lauryn following.

I stepped in to the gateway as did Sam, but when the others tried to get in, it was almost as if they were running into a glass door. I tried to go help them, but I was locked it. Sam was too.

"Welcome! It appears that you two are the winners." We turned to see Melinoe staring at us. She was smiling.

"We won?" I asked. She nodded. "Wait what's the surprise?" I remember her saying something about one.

"It's an all out battle for the prize."

"What are we fighting?" Sam asked.

"Each other." She says simply. I gasp as I realize what she meant. It was a fight to the death against Sam. "And all your friends will be there to watch you."

HI! Hope you liked. I got a little lazy at the battle. Sorry bout that.

Please leave a comment. I will appreciate every one and I love all suggestions for what should happen.
