Yes, thank you for the input. I still haven't found the time to rewrite and fix the older chapters.

I'll be sure to do that right away when I have the time. In the meanwhile, enjoy.

'Cookies here!' Selene yelped happily.

A charming guy enters the room, holding a picnic basket. He's around 6'2" tall with brown-golden hair. His hair is a bit wavy, and his bangs almost reach his eyebrows. His hair looks like it's been groomed over many years; it suits his pretty face. He looks young, and as good looking as a Hollywood actor. He has a pair of grey eyes, but somehow they look sleepy.

He's wearing a dark brown leather vest, the kind that people from the medieval period would wear. He's also wearing a thin white shirt with white fur collars underneath the vest, and long black pants.

Selene rushes to the guy, she pries the picnic basket out of the guy's hands and rush back to the table.

The guy sighs while Selene ransacks the picnic basket, getting out every cookies in there.

The guy turns to us, he looks a bit surprised.

'Demigods? William's prisoners..?' The guy asked weakly.

Thalia is still in daze. She doesn't seem to be paying any attention to what the guy just said.

I'm not surprised, considering what Selene just showed us. If that thing is really our opponent, this just turned from mission impossible to mission-we-are-so-dead.

I try to set my mind aside from what we've just seen. Trying not to think about it seems to be the smartest thing to do right now.

'Uh… Yeah… Who are you?' I replied. Even I know that I sounded like a zombie.

Selene stops pulling things out of the basket. She rushes back to the guy and side-hugs him.

'Meet Endymion! This is my husband!' Selene declared happily.

Endymion yawns, and then he rubs his eyes. Selene elbows Endymion in the gut, she looks annoyed.

'We have guests! Look lively!' Selene ordered.

Endymion ignores what Selene just said, instead, he walks to the bed and fall on it quickly, and then within seconds, his snoring.

'Endymion!' Selene's moaned.

Selene approaches Endymion, and then she grabs his arms and pulls him out of the bed. Endymion wakes up, and then he yawns.

'You'll have to forgive me, demigods…' Endymion yawns, 'Zeus made me this way…' Endymion muttered.

Thalia snaps back into reality after the word "Zeus".

'The shepherd prince.' Thalia muttered. 'Lady Selene asked Zeus to make you immortal so that you two can be together.'

Endymion sleepily smiles, 'Yes. Zeus put me in this state of eternal sleepiness in exchange for immortality…' Endymion suddenly turns down, and then he starts snoring again.

If Selene is a hyperactive immortal hamster, Endymion is an inactive sleepy sloth. He looks really weak, and he doesn't seem to be interested in anything. He actually has the look that everything that he does take way too much energy, so it's better not to do it at all.

'Endymion!' Selene called.

Endymion wakes up, surprised. He looks around for a couple of seconds like trying to figure out where he is, and then he looks at us again.

'So… What business do you have here?' Endymion asked.

'We want to get out of here, as quick as possible.' I replied. 'We heard that you know the way out of here.'

Endymion scratches his chin, 'Not that I don't want to help you… But that would break Selene's and my standing in the neutral ground.'

Oh great, that means we have to search the entire area for the exit. Not that we actually have the time to do that. Time is ticking, and we need to warn everybody.

Thalia looks at Selene, like trying to plead with her eyes.

Selene turns to Endymion, 'Help them.' She said with puppy eyes.

Endymion sighs, 'Alright, I'll help them. You don't have to pull that move on me.'

'Really?' Thalia sounded relieved.

Endymion scratches the back of his head, 'Yeah. Besides, showing you the way out of here won't count as taking sides, and even if we have to take a side.' Endymion turns to Selene, he smiles, 'I'm pretty sure you already won my wife.'

'Yay!' Selene hugs Endymion tightly.

Endymion yawns again, 'Well then, I guess I should take you guys to the exit.'

Selene turns to us, 'Sure you two don't want cookies first?'

Thalia stands up from the chair, she approaches Selene, and then she bows to her in gratitude, 'Thank you Lady Selene.'

'Thanks for the help.' I blurted.

Selene waves goodbye, 'Don't forget to visit again.' She said, smiling.

Endymion snaps his fingers, and then white smoke begins to appear out of nowhere. It fills our surrounding quickly, and before we know it, our entire field of vision is covered in smoke. The white smoke dissipates slowly, and when we look around, we're already in a different place.

We're back in the hallway. It feels really different from the one that we've been before, but quite frankly, I wouldn't have known. The hallways look almost exactly the same with each other, there's no way in differentiating them. Honestly, I don't even know whether we're fifteen feet away from where we were or a hundred feet away.

Selene is gone, but Endymion is still there standing right in front of us. His head is facing down, and soon, the sounds of his snores.

'Errr… Endymion, dude?' I called him.

He stays silent.

I approach Endymion carefully, and then I poke his arms. Endymion jolted back into life. He searches around, like checking where he is right now, and then he turns to us again. He seems to just remember what he was doing.

'Oh… Right. We're here.' Endymion said.

We've arrived right in front of the entrance of a room. Endymion points to the inside of the room.

'Go across the water. You'll find a portal that will lead you anywhere you want to go.' Endymion yawns.

I smile, 'Thanks sloth dude.'

Endymion looks confused at what I just called him, so does Thalia.

Thalia brushes away what I just said, 'Thank you Lord Endymion.'

Endymion smiles weakly, and then he nods.

Thalia and I walk away from Endymion, heading right into the room.

'Son of Morpheus.' Endymion called me.

I turn back to him. Endymion puts on a serious face. He actually looks a bit scary now.

Endymion points to me, 'Never forget who you are. It might just be the thing… that will save your friends' lives.'

I gulp down. Not that I understand what he just said, but he looks really grim and scary.

Endymion faces down again. I thought for a moment that he's doing a godly thinking to give more godly advice, but he snores again. Before long, he begins to shine. I keep staring at him shining brighter and brighter at every moment.

Thalia grabs my head and then spins away, turning me from Endymion away. She covered my eyes, and closed hers as well. The bright light vanishes, and then Thalia takes her hands off of me.

Thalia looks really angry, 'You idiot! You could've died.'

I remember immediately of what they told me about gods. When they begin to shine like that, don't look at them. They're basically turning back into their immortal form, that one look from a mortal, they would have been blown into bits and pieces.

I laugh awkwardly. Thalia looks really upset, she walks past by me and right into the room. I stand up, and then I follow her from behind.

This room is around the same size of any other rooms, but this one stretches farther than the previous one. White columns lined up against the walls at each side, with blue crystals decorating the walls. It has a short stair that goes upward; leading to a pond that takes almost the entire floor. Across the water is a gateway portal.

Thalia smiles, almost grinning. She goes up the stair and I follow her from behind. She stops right in front of the pond. Thalia sees the water, and so do I. The water is really clear, like transparent clear. I can tell that the pond is not that deep. Thalia kneels down, checking the pond. She stands up, and about to walk into the pond, but I stop her.

I put my hand in her way, 'Seriously?'

Thalia looks confused at my question.

'Have you never watched ANY film at all? This is the part where the evil bad monster appears!' I explained.

Thalia rolls her eyes, 'This isn't a movie.'

She keeps walking, and then I take a step and stand right in front of her.

'I'm serious. If you keep walking to the middle of the pond, something bad is going to happen!' I warned her.

Thalia sighs, she pushes me aside, 'There's nothing in the water.'

Thalia enters the pond casually. She pauses for a couple of seconds and then she turns back to me, 'See? Nothing's here. Now come on.'

I enter the water as well, although I have a bad feeling about this. In my head, a creepy thrilling soundtrack is being played over and over again. I half-expect a massive man-eating crocodile to appear and eat us whole. We keep walking, and by the time we get to the middle of the pond, nothing happened.

I guess there really is nothing in the water.

The water reaches my chest, but it doesn't go any deeper.

There's silent in the air, but the creepy music inside my head keeps playing, and it's getting louder. More than that, I keep thinking of a dozen of scenarios where we get attacked and eaten by mutated monsters.

I grumble, maybe I did watch too many films. We're about to reach the other side, and then the music inside my head suddenly stops.

I'm a bit surprised that it stops out of nowhere.

But then I thought to myself, Wait, isn't this the part where it usually gets—

Right before I can finish that thought, the water rages. Waves after waves, it comes crashing down, and then the water takes Thalia and me all around from one spot to the other. The water is trying to drown us, I'm positively sure.

I keep trying to get back up; trying to get some air, but the water keeps putting me back down in the water as soon as I inhale some air.

I so haven't watched enough movies. I thought to myself.
