The Labyrinth Through Camelot | {COMPLETED}

Chapter 3 - Zale

Zale was definitely not looking forward to having to explain this whole trip to his father. In an effort to make sure that Poseidon didn't throw him into Tartarus, he kept close to Luna. As he held on tight to her arm, the rulers of Camelot led them to one of the wings of the castle so that they could get out of their wet clothes. He wasn't sure how much he trusted them yet but he certainly wasn't going to leave his deaf sister out of his grasp where she could get into trouble that wasn't authorized by the other half of the Chaos twins.

"Okay, and you are completely positive that Merlin has gone missing?" The boy they had learned was named Campbell asked as soon as he left the room. "Because it seems very unlike Merlin to just let himself go missing without telling anyone."

"It also seemed unlikely that someone would want to kidnap him only a few minutes ago," Wren pointed out. "I don't understand your logic." Campbell signed and shrugged his shoulders, shaking his mostly dry hair out of his face.

"Merlin's... well... He's Merlin. I don't know how else to put it," Campbell replied.

"Let's check for Freya then," Kenna announced as she walked out of the room that she and Sadie had entered together. She had exchanged her wet, foreign clothes for a very simple, Camelotian dress. It was a simple design and still, Zale found himself wondering how on earth Kenna expected to do well in a search, let alone in a possible battle they might have to fight.

"And who might Freya be?" Koa asked, knitting her eyebrows together.

"Freya is his wife," Kenna continued dismissively. "If Merlin is just out, she'll know where he went. If he really is missing, then she knows and she was the one who called us here in the first place. She'll know more about what happened than anyone else in this place."

"That should definitely be our first course of action," Hudson agreed as he walked out of his own room. The rest of the Knights found their way out of their rooms, completely changed and mostly dry. "There aren't too many places Freya'll be, especially since she wasn't at her lake, so it shouldn't take too long to find her."

"Bedroom first then?" Sadie asked, brushing a stray lock of hair away from her face. "She'll probably be there if something is really wrong." The rest of the Knights nodded their head and were quick to walk down the hallway, with little regard for if the Goddlets were actually following them. Zale was quick to follow after them, taking Luna's hand and tugging her forward, making sure that she knew they were moving and why. Luna gave him a confused look, the whole conversation blowing over her head,

"We're looking for Merlin's wife," Zale whispered to her. "The Knights said that she'll know where he is if he isn't missing and if she is, she'll know what happened." Luna nodded her head, understanding flashing over her eyes, and took a couple of quick steps, keeping in pace with the rest of the Goddlets.

"Koa," Zach hissed, stopping next to the daughter of Zeus and Hera. The red-haired goddess glanced over at Zach, annoyed. "So... we didn't plan for Hera to already have him. What are we supposed to do now?"

"Then we just have to go after her. And bring the Knights with us. Those swords they have are made from imperial bronze, blessed with magic. They'll be helpful backup in a fight," Koa replied, attempting to walk ahead of Zach and keep in pace with the Knights. He rolled his eyes and caught up with Koa once more. Zale fell into step with them, momentarily letting go of Luna's hand so she would stop tugging at it to talk with Nesrin.

"And we can't just walk back into Olympus like nothing's happening. They've no doubt figured out what we're up to by now and Hera will have definitely bumped up security if she's already got him," Zale jumped in "So then how are we going to get there?" Koa stopped walking for a second, letting the others walk past her as she crossed her arms over her chest in thought.
