The weeks that followed the battle of Manhattan that Emily was kept busy due to the few that managed to die in the battle. Of which were not as many as Emily thought there would be, but with the back up in the record studios and the recent battle didn't help in the underworld. Since it was crowed enough down there as it was. Emily stayed in her daughter of hades appearance since that was how all the spirits knew who she was with that appearance. Since she case back to the underworld that she was looking for Minos, partly because of Nico and partly because of what she heard from Arabella from what she learned when she talked to Nico last. Emit was aware of Nico and knew where he has been for the last seventy years, though Emily wasn't sure of how aware Arabella was of where Nico had been. Plus it seems that Minos been vanishing a lot, Emily asked Hades of why Minos was picked to be a judge. Hades told her that Minos was the best choice at the time but he been unable to find a good replacement for him. Hades has a couple,of ideas of who to replace Minos and told her when Minos gets back that he would replace Minos.
Emily has a feeling that Minos was trying to get to Daedalus and Emily brought this up to Hades of which he agreed with her. He also told her that he fears that Minos might be twisting Nico's mind or someone else who could bring back the dead. So Hades asked her to go find Daedalus as well as find Nico, Emily agreed to do this and the best way to find them was using the labyrinth. She could use Mrs. O'Leary but Mrs. O'Leary didn't know Nico though and wouldn't be able to pick up his scent, maybe. Emily kept her promise to Daedalus about Mrs. O'Leary. It helped Emily when she was adopted by a hades to take care of Mrs. O'Leary, since hellhounds were under the control of Hades. Mrs. O'Leary was one of the few companions she has in the underworld besides Arabella and Fluffy among a couple of others. Emily and Hades made sure that Mrs. O'Leary was comfortable when she was down in the underworld. So they made this huge area for Mrs. O'Leary that has a roof over it that allowed the sun to come in. To the mortals it was just the ground with dirt, that was due to making a diamond roof and the mist. Though Mrs. O'Leary liked the area around Emily's cabin better than her little area in the underworld.
After being in the underworld for so long that she could understood of why Hades would act the way he does as well doing what he did to Persephone all those years ago. It was clear that Hades does love Persephone and Persephone, at least respects him and most likely loves him. Emily wasn't sure on that but Persephone was glad of having a not her daughter of Demeter around when Hades adopted her. It helped Hades and Persephone when Emily accepted that offer since it seem to make the underworld less gloomy. Just like when Arabella was brought down here, that she made it even less gloomy than before. So Emily could never blame a hades for kidnapping Persephone all those years ago. But Emily needed to find Nico and Daedalus, however Emily knew Arabella was not in the palace before Emily left because Emily went to find her to tell what she was going to do but couldn't find her. Emily hoped that Arabella didn't do something that she would regret like going into the labyrinth. Emily was at the entrance of the labyrinth in the underworld, she took the necklace off and swished it so it changed into her Stygian iron sword.
She needed to find Nico as well as Daedalus to warn them both and maybe figure out if Arabella was here. Emily hoped not, even though Arabella could handle herself there was still things that Arabella need to improve on. When Emily entered the passageway that the door closed behind her, Emily looked around and started towards one direction hoping it would lead her to Nico or the workshop. But she made wrong turns, for she find spikes coming at her or the walls were closing in on her. Emily wasn't too worried about Minos, she was more worried do what he may do to Nico or Arabella if he was twisted either one of their minds to go back to the world of the living. For Emily could overpower him and use her status as daughter of Hades and the underworld princess on Minos and Arabella could do the same thing. Emily thought of using her powers but from what Daedalus told her that it would be a bad idea, for she could get more lost this she was already. Than Emily heard a hissing sound form behind her and she turned around.
"Well, what have we here, a daughter of Hades. You would make a nice addition to the army." Emily gripped her sword tighter, Emily was aware of the fact that Kronos was rising as well as raising an army with demigod and monsters. But there was no way that she was going to join Kronos.
"Like I would join Kronos."
"We shall see if you changed your mind. Let's take her to the arena." Emily put up a fight before they managed to get her sword. Than she marched her to a set of ten feet doors with crossed swords, there were other monsters standing there along with three prisoners. Emily looked at the three, Emily knew who two of the three prisoners, a couple of years ago that Emily had saw them in at camp when she took Arabella. They were utterly surprised that there was a daughter of Hades over the age of sixteen that was still alive. At first they thought the prophecy past till Emily told them that she was immortal was past sixteen when the prophecy was made. It was Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena and Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, they both were looking at her with a puzzled look in their face. It was like they were asking of why she was here, instead of somewhere else, like the underworld. The third was a girl, just looking at the girl told Emily enough to know that this girl was different but not different in the sense of demigods. Emily remembered a demigod dream that this girl was in and she had mortal parents in the dream.
Before any of them could say anything that the doors opened to reveal an arena, it wasn't as long or as big as ones that Emily seen when she went to Greece not long of which was after she was adopted by Hades. But the arena was big for one that was underground instead above ground, there were skulls around the arena at the moment there was a giant fighting with a centaur. Emily wanted to help the centaur but with the monsters from behind them watching that Emily knows it was no good. The giant had than killed the centaur and raised the hoof in triumph and left with holding the hoof up. Emily wanted to throw up and curse Kronos for this, but Kronos wasn't there as far as Emily could see. But Emily knows he doesn't have a body or at least not yet, she couldn't think of what could happen if Kronos rise again. However Emily knew the one giant next to a blond hair male in the stands, it was Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaea. He had raised his hand and the arena went silent.
"Good entertainment! But nothing I haven't seen before. What else do you have, Luke, Son of Hermes?" Luke's, apparently was his name, jaw tightened at the words of son of Hermes, it was clear that Luke didn't like his father. But he rose to his feet calmly though, his eyes were glittering, he also looked in a good mood. When he spoke that he spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Lord Antaeus, you have been an excellent host! We would be happy to amuse you, to repay the favor of passing through your territory."
"A favor I have not yet granted, I want entertainment!" Luke had than bowed.
"I believe I have something better than centaurs to fight in your arena now. I have a brother of yours." Luke pointed at Percy. "Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." The crowd started to jeer at Percy and throw stones at him but one managed to cut his cheek. Antaeus's eyes lit up upon hearing Percy being called a son of Poseidon,
"A son of Poseidon? Then he should fight well! Or die well!"
"If his death pleases you, will you let our armies cross your territory?"
"Perhaps!" Luke didn't looked to pleased about the word perhaps, he was glaring down at Percy like he better die in a spectacular way,
"Luke! Stop this. Let us go!" Luke seem to notice Annabeth for the first time, he looked stunned for a moment.
"Annabeth?"
"Enough time for the females to fight afterward. First, Percy Jackson, what weapons will you choose?" One of the dracaenae pushed Percy into the middle of the arena. Percy had stared up at Antaeus.
"How can you be a son of Poseidon?"
"I am his favorite son! Behold, my temple to the Earthshaker, built from the skulls of all those I've killed in his name! Your skull shall join them!"
"Percy! His mother is Gaea! Gae - " The monster that was holding Annabeth put his hand over her mouth. Emily remained where she was standing, she didn't say anything for it may not do any good.
"You're crazy, Antaeus. If you think this is a good tribute, you know nothing about Poseidon." The crowd started to scream insults at Percy but Antaeus raised his hand for silence.
"Weapons. And then we will see how you die. Will you have axes? Shields? Nets? Flamethrowers?"
"Just my sword." Laughter erupted from the monsters and than a sword appeared in his hands and Emily knew the weapon, it was riptide an old Greek weapon. Emily wondered of how Percy got a hold of that weapon. But silence followed when Riptide appeared in Percy's hand. However it was at that moment that one of the monsters whispered something to Luke and he looked over at Emily and he looked a little surprised. Than Luke spoke once more.
"Lord Antaeus, if I may. It appears that they captured a third demigod. One that was a made up story from World War II or so we thought. If it pleases you that she will join Percy in fighting." Antaeus looked at Annabeth, the one girl before he looked Emily.
"Which one might it be?"
"Rachel Blackthrone, daughter of Hades, heir to the underworld." The other dracaenae pushed Emily into the middle of the arena to join Percy. Percy looked at her in surprise, it was clear that he didn't expect to find a daughter of Hades in the Labyrinth. Before she was pushed into the middle that she was giving back her necklace of which was back around her neck.
"Well what a nice surprise, not only will I be watching Percy fighting that I would be watching Rachel fighting. What about your weapon."
"I will also have my sword." Emily took off her necklace and swish it had become a Stygian iron sword, there was a gasp from the crowd.
"Round one." The gate at the other end opened and two dracaenae came out, they had nets and tridents. It didn't take too much for Percy and Emily to kill them. Emily hardly paid much attention to Percy fighting but she cut the net in half of which surprised the dracaenae and knocked the trident out of her hand before cutting her in half turning her to dust.
"No! Too fast! You must wait for the kill. Only I give that order!" Emily looked at Antaeus, wondering how he could be a son of Poseidon and be so stupid at the same time. She would admit that Percy was not child of Athena but he was not as stupid as he sometimes appeared to be form the stories she heard of him so far. Emily spoke.
"I thought it was my order to give when it is time for the kill. For I am the underworld princess." Antaeus didn't look very happy when Emily said that. But Luke spoke before Antaeus spoke to her,
"Nice job, Percy. You've gotten better with the sword. I'll grant you that."
"Round two! And slower this time! More entertainment! Wait for my call before killing anybody. OR ELSE!" It seemed that Antaeus decided to pay no heed to what Emily said that. Once again the gates open and two warriors had come out, one was a male that looked about sixteen. The male has glossy black hair, his left eye was covered with an eye patch and he was thin and wiry. Because of that, that his Greek armor hung loosely on him, he stabbed his sword into the dirt and he readjust a couple of things before putting his helmet on and picking up his sword once more. However the other one was a girl of no more than twelve years old. She was thin and small as well, she has red hair that could rival Natasha's red hair and brown eyes. She wore similar things as the boy but she didn't need to adjust her armor or shield, the girl reminded Emily of how Steve once looked as well as Arabella. For Arabella looked about how the girl was expect for Arabella has pale skin and different color eyes and the girl was just as small, thin and fragile as Steve was.
"Who are you two?"
"Ethan Nakamura, I have to kill you."
"I am Hannah James." She looked at Emily a little scared, Emily didn't blame her, it was a little more fair with Ethan and Percy since there about the same height and build as well as most likely have similar training. But Emily had the advantage over this little girl in more ways than one, size was among the advantage that Emily has. Honestly Emily was small herself or at least compared to Steve or even Thor as well as most men in the howling commandos and at camp or when she was at camp. The only men at camp that had been smaller this her were the sons of Hermes and Aphrodite, for the most part. But standing in front of this girl made Emily realized that she wasn't as small as she thought she was. Emily stood at the same height as Lauren, 5'7" and thinking of it that is a little tall for a woman. "I have to kill you." Emily didn't say anything, it was clear that the twelve year old didn't want to do this at all.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Hey! Stop talking and fight already!"
"I have to prove myself. Only way to join up." Ethan started attacking Percy of who defend himself, Hannah backed away. Ethan's sword was close of hitting her but Emily grabbed her and pulled Hannah away just in time. Emily had pulled her away from the middle of the arena and Hannah was clinging onto her like a child would do with their mother when they were scared or frighten. Emily held Hannah close to herself, Ethan and Percy kept fighting for another five minutes before Ethan made a mistake and Percy took advantage of that. Antaeus gave the signal to kill Ethan, Emily figured that Percy wouldn't kill him for what she heard about Percy that he wasn't the kind that killed demigods willingly.
"Get it over with." Percy looked up at Antaeus, it was clear that he was displeasure with the young girl that was clinging onto Emily but he was even more displeasured with Percy when he put thumbs down,
"Forget it." Percy than put away his sword.
"Don't be a fool. They'll just kill us both." Percy offered his hand and Ethan took it reluctantly, Percy helped him up.
"No one dishonors the games! Your heads shall both be tributes to Poseidon!" It seemed that Antaeus was no longer paying any attention to Emily or Hannah for the time being, since he was focusing more Percy and Ethan. Percy than said something to Ethan before turning to Antaeus.
"Why don't you fight me yourself? If you've got Dad's favor, come down here and prove it!" Emily took a sharp intake of breath when Percy said that. The monsters grumbled in the stands, Emily knew that Antaeus would accept this since there was too many monsters to deny this for he would look like a coward if he refused.
"I am the greatest wrestler in the world, boy, I have been wrestling since the first pankration!"
"Pankration?" Emily spoke before anyone else could, being the underworld princess that she picked a few things up. That was partly due to the died as well as having spare time to read between her different missions for Hestia or SHIELD.
"He means fighting to the death. No rules. No holds barred. It used to be an Olympic sport." Percy looked at her when she said that. "Plus my father found it annoying because it brought more dead to the underworld."
"Thanks for the tip."
"Don't mention it." Percy pointed his sword at Antaeus before he spoke.
"Winner takes all! I win, we all go free. You win, we die. Swear upon the River Styx."
"This shouldn't take long. I swear to your terms!" Antaeus leaped off the railing and into the arena.
"Good luck, You'll need it." Ethan backed up quickly, Emily and Hannah remained where they were. Emily was worried about Percy, for Antaeus wasn't easy to defeat since his mother was Gaea. Emily watched as Percy tried to kill Antaeus but it was no use on the ground. But Percy managed to get Antaeus up in the air dangling in the chains above, Percy managed to use the chains to have Antaeus tangled up in the air. Than Percy stabbed Antaeus in his stomach and Antaeus dissolved since Gaea couldn't heal him because he was in the sky. Emily sighed with relief, she felt Hannah look up at where Antaeus had been.
"Jackson! I should have killed you long ago!"
"You tired. Let us go, Luke. We had a sworn agreement with Antaeus. I'm the winner."
"Antaeus is dead. His oath dies with him. But since I'm feeling merciful today, I'll have you killed quickly." Luke pointed at Annabeth and Emily before he went on. "Spare those two girls. I would speak to them before - before our great triumph." All the monsters in the audience drew a weapon or extended their claws, they were trapped. Emily knew what she has to do, before Emily could whistle for Mrs. O'Leary that Percy had took out a whistle and blew. No sound came out of the whistle though, so it was clear that the whistle was a dog whistle and not one used for sports.
"What was that supposed to do?" Suddenly there was a surprised yelp, the giant that was guarding Annabeth flew past Percy and smashed into the wall a few feet form where Emily and Hannah were.
"AROOOOF." One of the empousa screamed as slightly smaller hellhound than Mrs. O'Leary picked her up like a chew toy and tossed her through the air right into Luke's lap. The hellhound snarled, two dracaenae had backed away from the hellhound, the monsters were taking by surprised.
"Let's go! Heel, Thron!"
"The far exit! That's the right way!" Emily followed them and Hannah was holding onto her hand as they raced across the arena and out the far exit. The monsters were jumping out of the stands to follow them.
"This way!" Emily figured that it was clear that this girl was a clear sighted mortal, otherwise she wouldn't be able to direct them though the Labyrinth. There was only three ways to navigate the labyrinth, one to use a clear sighted mortal, two use the string, third if you are Daedalus or have him with you. Also another clear thing was that Annabeth didn't like the red headed girl.
"Why should we follow you? You led us straight into that death trap!"
"It was the way you needed to go. And so is this. Come on!" Annabeth didn't look to happy about what Rachel said that not Emily could blame her. However it was Emily's own fault that she managed to get herself trapped by the monsters in the first place, but Emily knew that there certain places that one has to go though in order to get to the workshop unless, once again, that you are Daedalus. All of them kept running along, they kept going around corners and yelled duck at one point of which they did. A huge axe had swung over their heads before they went on, they didn't stop till they reached a room that was a size of a gymnasium. There was no sound of pursuit, so the army was lost somewhere in the labyrinth. Not only that but the hellhound was gone as well, Emily knew that the hellhound was safe, it was like a sixth sense in a way. Though she had no idea of where the hellhound went to, Ethan collapsed on the floor.
"You people are crazy." Ethan pulled off his helmet and his face was gleamed with sweat. Emily remembered this guy, he was one of the three that Gleeson brought to camp along with Nathan and Clarisse before Arabella went to camp.
"I remember you! You were one of the undetermined kids in the Hermes cabin, years ago."
"Yeah, and you're Annabeth. I remember."
"What - what happened to your eye?" Ethan looked away from them, Emily could tell it was something that he didn't want to talk about. Than Percy spoke up.
"You must be the half-blood from my dream. The one Luke's people cornered. It wasn't Nico after all."
"Who's Nico?"
"Never mind. Why were you trying to join up with the wrong side?" Ethan sneered when Percy said that.
"There's no right side. The gods never cared about us. Why shouldn't I - "
"Sign up with an army that makes you fight to the death for entertainment? Gee, I wonder." Ethan was struggling to get to his feet and Hannah was clinging onto Emily.
"I'm not going to argue with you. Thanks for the help, but I'm out of here."
"We're going after Daedalus, come with us. Once we get through, you'd be welcome back at camp."
"You really are crazy if you think Daedalus will help you."
"He has to. We'll make him listen." Ethan snorted.
"Yeah, well. Good luck with that." Emily grabbed his arm before Ethan could move away from them. He looked somewhat scared when she did for he could feel of how strong she was, but there was anger in his one eye, Emily knew most of the fear came from her aura for she was allowing her death and fear aura show itself. Not many people would be able to tell she was a daughter of Hades unless if someone knows or were told. Emily noticed the frayed around the edges of the eye patch and the black cloth was faded, like he has been wearing it for a long time.
"How would you even know Daedalus would even listen. What makes you think he won't listen? Have you ever meet him?"
"No, but I heard enough to know he won't listen." Emily let go of his arm but Percy grabbed Ethan's arm.
"You're just going to head off alone into the maze? That's suicide." Ethan looked Percy with barely controlled anger.
"You shouldn't have spared me, Jackson. Mercy has no place in this war." Ethan manage to get out of Percy's grip and he ran off into the darkness back the way they came. They all were exhausted or at least Percy, Annabeth, Hannah, and the red headed girl were. Emily wasn't really all that tired she knows it came from her time in World War II and her time since than. She doesn't get as wore out as she would have back in World War II. Percy managed to find some scrap wood and started a fire.
"Something was wrong with Luke. Did you notice the way he was acting?" Annabeth was using her knife to poke at the fire while Emily was trying to calm down Hannah. Emily kept her arms around her cooing softly, Emily could tell Hannah was close of felling asleep at the moment.
"He looked pretty pleased to me. Like he'd spent a nice day torturing heroes."
"That's not true! There was something wrong with him. He looked...nervous. He told his monsters to spare me. He wanted to tell me something."
"Probably, 'Hi, Annabeth! Sit here with me and watch while I tear your friends apart. It'll be fun!'"
"You're impossible." Annabeth sheathed her dagger before looking at Rachel grumbled. "So which way now, Sacagawea?" Emily was watching the two girls interact with each other, Rachel didn't respond right away. It was clear that both Annabeth and Rachel like Percy, or at least to Emily at any rate. For Hannah was too young to understand Annabeth and Rachel's interaction at the moment, Hannah might have a basic idea of what was going between the two girls but she wouldn't understood all of it. Emily noticed that Annabeth didn't say anything about Luke bringing up sparing Emily to Percy, there was a chance Annabeth didn't care about that. Emily knew what Luke wanted and hoped for, for he wanted them to join Kronos's side, there was no way Emily was going to join Kronos. In that way she was like Steve, that she doesn't like bullies and Kronos was one of the biggest bullies ever. Rachel was drawing monsters on the floor, it reminded Emily of Steve when he was drawing in his drawing book.
"We'll follow the path. The brightness on the floor."
"The brightness that led us straight into a trap?"
"Lay off her, Annabeth. She's doing the best she can." Annabeth stood up.
"The fire's getting low. I'll go look for some more scraps while you guys talk strategy." Annabeth had marched off into the shadows, Rachel kept drawing on the floor. After a while that Hannah finally fell asleep.
"Annabeth's usually not like this! I don't know what her problem is."
"Are you sure you don't know?" Emily stopped herself from laughing when Rachel said that, she knows Percy wouldn't understood what was wrong with Annabeth.
"What do you mean?"
"Boys. Totally blind." Emily giggled and spoke.
"I know, right. Even in the 1940s that they were blind. My brother Steve was like that, however he didn't know much about women even with a twin sister." Rachel smiled when Emily said that.
"I know, I think the boys need some sort of mind reader when it comes to girls."
"Hey, don't you two get on my case, too! Look, I'm sorry I got you involved in this." Emily was close of laughing when Percy said the first part, Emily didn't say anything out of fear of bursting into fits of uncontrollable laughter. For this reminded her too much when Lauren and saw Steve kissing with the one blond girl. It was something that Bucky and Emily were making fun of Steve as a result afterwards, but Rachel went on talking with Percy.
"No, you were right. I can see the path. I can't explain it, but it's really clear." The girl pointed toward the other end of the room that they were and into the darkness. "The workshop is that way. The heart of the maze. We're very close now. I don't know why the path led through that arena. I - I'm sorry about that. I thought you were going to die." The girl sounded like she was close to crying.
"Hey, I'm usually about to die. Don't feel bad."
"So you do this every summer? Fight monsters? Save the world? Don't you ever get to do just, you know, normal stuff?"
"Half-bloods get used to it, I guess. Or maybe not used to it, but..." Emily spoke.
"Let me answer that more properly, what is your name? I assume it is Rachel isn't it?"
"Yes, it's Rachel, the same as yours." Emily merely nodded but didn't bother to comment that Rachel wasn't her real name.
"Well, halfbloods are almost always fighting monsters, it's a common thing for Halfblood like Percy and me to fight monsters a lot. It doesn't matter what season it is. But we do normal stuff, it's just that we have a difficult life compared to your." Rachel nodded and Percy seem relieved than he spoke.
"What about you? What do you do normally?"
"I paint or draw. I read a lot. I help demigods get to camp, sometime is enter the camp but you are not usually there. But most of the time I am in the underworld helping my father." Emily leaned against the wall and allowed Rachel and Percy to talk without her saying much of anything.
"What about your family?" When Percy said that, that Emily could tell, even without the mental shield going up, that the subject was something that Rachel tries to avoid. Being the champion of Hestia that Emily was able to tell of what kind of relationship exist in families. Emily could tell that Rachel didn't think of her family as her family or not really.
"Oh...they're just, you know, family."
"You said they wouldn't notice if you were gone." Rachel put down her drawing stick.
"Wow, I'm really tired. I may sleep for a while, okay?"
"Oh, sure. Sorry if..." Rachel was already curly up using her backpack as a pillow and her eyes were closed. Emily knew that Rachel wasn't really asleep, she just didn't want to talk about her family.
"Percy." He looked over at her. "Try not to ask her about her family."
"You sound like you know her."
"I don't but I am the champion of Hestia. She is the goddess of the home, family and hearth and I can tell that she doesn't have a very good relationship with her parents." Percy merely nodded when Emily had said that. A few minutes later that Annabeth came back and tossed some more sticks on the fire. Annabeth looked at Rachel than at Percy, she didn't even bother to look at Emily or Hannah.
"I'll take first watch. You should sleep, too."
"You don't have to act like that."
"Like what?"
"Like...never mind." Percy laid down and Annabeth looked over at Emily, she looked like she was about ready to say something similar to Emily as she did with Percy when Emily beat her to it.
"I will take the first watch. Don't argue with me."
"I am a daughter of Athena ... "
"I am aware of this fact, Annabeth. I have meet children of Athena before and they are among the best warriors along with the children of the big three and children of Ares. But I have been on this earth for ninety one years now and I had fought in World War II as well as a few other wars. I am capable of taking the first watch or even for the whole time. I am not really sleepy and I would still be awake none the less." Annabeth sighed in defeat and laid down to fall asleep, when she could hear the steady breaths of all the questers that Emily looked down to where Rachel pointed. Emily remembers the last time Emily saw Daedalus.
"Colonel Phillips, the war is not over with yet." Colonel Phillips turned and looked over at her.
"It is for me, Emily. I only promised to stay in the war till the nazis surrender or I am killed, the nazis had surrender."
"But Japan hasn't yet."
"Japan wasn't in the war when the war started."
"Neither was the US."
"True."
"So you are just going to leave just like that! What about Mrs. O'Leary?"
"She belongs to you now. As by the agreement we made." Colonel Phillips took one step towards the entrance before he turned around and looked at her. "I know this seems cowardly to you or even unwise. I only come out due to the fact that I felt it was my duty to do so. Honestly, my prison is my only safe place."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"I am not sure if I can explain it to you fully. I am not even if I can say it. But I am sorry, sorry for leaving like this and sorry for everything that has happened to you. The things I did even before this war. One day I will make it up for everything I did, but now is not the time. I hope we will meet again before either one of us dies. I hope that one day that I will make it up by helping the demigods." He took another few steps back and the door of the labyrinth closed between Emily and Colonel Phillips, Mrs. O'Leary howled at the lost of her first owner. Emily was close of crying, for a lost of a friend, even with everything he did that he was still a friend that she gained.
