Ethan sneered. Theres no right side. The gods never cared about us. Why shouldnt I Sign up with an army that makes you fight to the death for entertainment? Annabeth said. Gee, I wonder.

Ethan struggled to his feet. Im not going to argue with you. Thanks for the help, but Im out of here.

Were going after Daedalus, I said. Come with us. Once we get through, youd be welcome back at camp. You reallyare crazy if you think Daedalus will help you. He has to, Annabeth said. Well make him listen. Ethan snorted. Yeah, well. Good luck with that. I grabbed his arm. Youre just going to head off alone into the maze? Thats suicide. He looked at me with barely controlled anger. His eye patch was frayed around the edges and the black

And she marched off into the shadows.

Rachel drew another figure with her stickan ashy Antaeus dangling from his chains.

Annabeths usually not like this, I told her. I dont know what her problem is.

Rachel raised her eyebrows. Are you sure you dont know?

What do you mean?

Boys, she muttered.Totally blind.

Hey, dont you get on my case, too! Look, Im sorry I got you involved in this.

No, you were right, she said. I can see the path. I cant explain it, but its really clear. She pointed toward the other end of the room, into the darkness. The workshop is that way.The heart of the maze. Were very close now.
