I lied. Heres chapter 8!

I walked through the maze as if I was my home. I barley slowed down as every single crossroads we came to inside the place that Sam had told me was called the labyrinth. I quickly knew that I subconsciously knew where we needed to go, as I trudged on through the maze until we finally came to a dead end where I spotted a blue triangle on the wall. I pressed it and it opened onto the base of a mountain, Mount Tamalpais I knew this was San Fran before I even stepped outside. I turned to him "it hasn't even been however long you think. The maze seems to trick the mind, one hour in there could be a week out here, it's the twenty first when did you go into the maze?" I asked he shook his head and I looked at the charm and sighed. I'll send reports when I can; I just hope I made the right choice. I took one last long look at this dude in front of me, those startling attractive red eyes and I turned and began walking down the mountain in the direction of camp until eventually I hit the mist border of the valley, and from his point of view I probably vanished.

I started walking down the hill as I slipped the charm around my neck and clutched it, this is it! This is how I can finally bring pain to the gods. I jogged down until I hit new Rome and its bustling streets and I heard a voice behind me when I turned a corner "so the Son of Janus has returned?" I groaned inwardly and turned around and the one and only Octavian stood there in the middle of the road. "I see you come into camp, where did you leave to? Without the praetors permission might I add, it could involve a certain charge of treason or cowardice" he grinned showing his shining teeth. I quickly hid the charm under the hem of my armour but he noticed "what's that you have centurion?" he stepped towards me and I stepped back. "Nothing dear augurs which is any of your business". "I insist centurion" he reached his hand forward and froze when a voice rung out "Octavian, why are you touching the centurion?" he turned his head and met Reyna's gaze.

"Praetor, to what do I owe your honour of an appearance?" he bowed and I followed suit. Her gaze flickered to me and then back to Octavian, "I require the centurion's presence for the war games tonight." He nodded slowly and turned to me with fire in his eyes "watch you centurion" he glowered and then walked off. "Ignore him" her voice cut through the air like a knife. "I plan to Praetor, don't you worry about that, he hates me because I ran." She looked at me with the eyes as dark as the night sky. "It's not the only thing he hates you for." I raised my eyebrow as she continued "you're a son of Janus, the last son of Janus ran camp Jupiter and caused the entire fifth cohort to go missing in action and has ruined their reputation." She took a breath as we walked through the city with her cape billowing in the wind "mind if show you your fathers temple?" I nodded as I followed her towards what I could only regard as temple hill.

We came across a temple with the two giant doors shut and a face on each door staring at us as and the words above the door Sententia, Iuddicum, Electiones which I knew translated to jury choices and verdict I shuddered involuntarily after reading it I noticed Reyna was studying me as I looked right back at her. "Are you going to go in centurion?" I nodded. "I will wait out for you if you" I nodded and stepped up to the doors which opened by themselves. I stepped inside my breath caught in my throat as the temple was huge! Marble pillars on either side of the path and sketching's covering the walls on both sides of stuff that I could barely make out, I but I saw scenes like my father helping who I could only guess is Lupa. I went down the middle of it to a temple with a bronze statue of what could only be my father. I frowned thinking about how he never seemed to help me when I was growing up. I made my way to the altar and kneeled down. I guess I could give it a try I closed my eyes and imagined by father just appearing I smirked thinking about how unlikely that would be. "Son" I jumped up and had verdict against the person's neck within a heartbeat.

I looked up and realized he had two faces, "FATHER?" he smiled with both heads. The left face spoke "long time no see Blake…or is it just yesterday?" then the right face chuckled "it's been years since we have seen him you dolt, he was left with his neighbour the demigod" I was kind of dumfounded at this point and I didn't know what to do. "hold up" I held my free hand up "you show up the moment I go to your temple and pray THAT YOU ACTUALLY WOULD SHOW UP?" both heads tried to nod which just looked weird and then they spoke in unison "Blakey we have missed you, I have frozen time outside this temple but not for long. I have seen you grow up we watched you and you have made me" "AND ME" the other head pitched in "the proudest father that I can be, you maybe even be better than Michael at this rate."

He shrugged "looks Blake I know about the charm" I frowned and placed my hand over it under my shirt. "You need to realize that things are in motion that is out of my control and out of a lot of beings control, there is a great prophecy that has been spoken". he right head muttered the next part "stupid son of Poseidon" but I was sure I didn't heard him right he shook his heads and continued "but anyway the titans are rising again, to take out the gods and take back what is rightfully theirs. A number of gods have already gone over to their side including me. Jupiter doesn't suspect me at the moment so I have to be quick, my temple will only give me a certain amount of protection."

I just was too dumbfounded to speak; the man I swore to hate is actually on my side? I think my brains going to explode. "I…so…you're on my side? Against the gods?" the heads nodded "me and you against the gods, and there is someone here to see you." He pointed behind me and I turned around, in the passageway was an old man sitting in an armchair he had a long beard like Dumbledore from harry potter and he had round glasses. He was basically Dumbledore he had a staff laid across his lap and he was...asleep? The man yawned and opened his eyes and looked at my father "Janus is this him?" "Yes my lord". I just noticed his eyes pure gold and full of power, "Are you lord kronos? I asked his face morphed into a frown. "I am not that scoundrel! I am Saturn!" He yawned and relaxed. I knew I had to ask "am I in the army?" he waved his hand "sure I guess" and then he vanished in a flash of gold.

I turned back to my father, "was that the king of the titans?" Janus looked at me...well as best as he could with two heads "that is Saturn, Kronos's Roman aspect, he is rarely allowed out but sometimes he gets free when a Roman god calls upon him and if Kronos is distracted he can change form involuntarily, as you can see he's not very…active." I nodded in understanding so father what would you have me do for the cause? I got down on one knee, now knowing that I could trust my father, and I had a new respect for him.

Both voices spoke in unison once again. There was a prophecy written in the sibylline books, I thought it was destined for Michael. Now I know it's for you. He paused and then spoke

"It shall be on the day that the lost heir returns, the flaming titan shall burn

Accused by the seer of Rome, he will be banished from what he calls home

When the lord's reign reaches its end the son of time shall ascend".

The right head turned to face me "you know what you have to do son." I smiled and nodded "yes father" I bowed and turned on my heels and marched out as I pushed the temple doors open to see Reyna standing there waiting "that was fast" I shrugged "I know what I have to do."

She nodded and I told her the prophecy as she frowned when I told her the three lines. "The lost heir is you, I can tell that as you were lost to your father for years. The burning titan is Sun. it says you defeat him so it could still be a challenge" she nodded to herself "follow me" as she began to stroll towards the senate house "the second line seems too obvious about Octavian blaming you and you being thrown out of camp. Which will never happen under my watch, by the way have you seen Jason?" I shook my head and we continued onto the senate house until a runner came up to Reyna "My praetor JASONS BEEN CAPTURED" he panted out. Reyna and my eyes went wide and she said "where is he?" the runner looked at me "Chicago, Sun said to send the questers, it's what they're destiny is" Reyna was looking at me while I just stared at the runner.

Reyna ran off and I ran grabbed Axel and Kit who put on their armour and weapons and followed me out the door to the senate house, as soon as we entered I heard Octavian "the son of Janus must be sent now to rescue the Praetor! He must bring two people with him" he saw me come in and grinned "you may not return son of Janus, the gods have spoken I have witnessed it myself inside the teddy bears!" I frowned, did he just say teddy bears?

Reyna stood up "All in favour of sending these three on a quest to save Praetor Grace say I?"

"I" echoed around the chamber as I knew I was in for a hell of a ride.
