Chapter Sixteen

Hades

“What are we doing?” On edge, Arsenio called to me from the back of our little line, a bag full of supplied slung over his shoulders. “I thought we were going to use the tunnels to get out of here.”

Glancing back, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at the demi-god. He asked too many questions, always seeming to doubt anything that he didn’t know for absolute certain. It wasn’t really his fault in this case. We were heading away from the tunnels that led out of the Underworld, which we’d agreed to use when the time came to go after Erebos. It was part of our plan, which we’d carefully crafted for days. However, Zeus’s revelation of the Titan’s exact location had changed the timeline somewhat.

Erebos would know that his location wasn’t a secret. He’d picked a location that didn’t need to be hidden. The famous labyrinth would keep her occupants tucked away from anyone who would dare enter her stone walls to face them. It was risky business, taking on the maze, but it ensured an extra layer of safety. We’d pass through the outer labyrinth that twisted its way around the mountain, and enter into the dark paths of the interior. The walkways tunneled deep inside, and challenged the minds of even the greatest thinkers. It would take a normal man more than half a year to map the massive structure. Even the gods looked down on it in awe when it was first created.

Of course, the whole man eating Minotaur inside it had kind of painted the magnificent creation in a bad light from the moment the idea was first conceived.

Focusing on the overgrown path ahead, I secretly wondered why I didn’t just tell the two men where we were going. The forest grew up around us, concealing the rest of the Underworld from view. Each step I took, I felt more dread, as if my heart were slowly burning out of my chest. It had been so long since I’d come this way. I didn’t even know what we would find when we reached our destination.

“I assume we’re getting out a different way,” Cristos said calmly, in reply to Arsenio. “Plans change. You know that.”

“Yes, but I’m typically privileged enough to know what the changes are,” he grumbled in return.

“We’re almost there,” I offered offhandedly.

“And just where is this place?” Arsenio pushed.

“My garden.”

“Garden?” The two spoke at the same time, clearly surprised I would have such a thing tucked away in the Land of the Dead.

“I haven’t been since Katrina died. That’s where I buried her.” Swallowing hard, I concentrated on putting one foot in front of the other.

“Oh. We need her body for the ritual, too?”

Frowning, I ignored Cristos’s question. We didn’t need the body, just her soul. I didn’t know what I would have done if I’d needed the body as well.

“When The Undoing occurred, all of the creatures that had been locked up in Tartarus escaped as well. Sirens, sphynxes, satyrs, all sorts of things.
