The Book Of Greed

CH 21 The Labyrinth

( Third p.o.v )

It was well into the late morning making some people upset since everyone was supposed to get up early to go. Wrath and Sloth had a fit for a good moment until Sloth decided to kick in the couple's door. He picked them both up to toss them downstairs on the couches. Greed's wake-up call was something else thanks to the old hunters of Artemis. His screams woke up the boys who got dressed in record time. They were the first ones out of the home ready for action.
They were arranged in the formation that was conspired yesterday evening.

They pursued the trail fragrance from Lust. The sins didn't prefer where it was leading them because they were still influenced by the enchantment of this place. Everyone was in their position like planed the other night. The only thing bothering the group now was that the hounds and Wrath were barking it up to each other. Since no one could translate Greed decided to take matters into his own hands. He had Scout recede to him so he could turn into a fox as well. After his small companion bit him Greed transformed into a fox as well allowing him to understand the hounds upfront.

"No don't worry if this goes to the labyrinth I won't make you go. We can use the string they can buy it for something equal in value," Wrath barked out. "Yes thank you master it's much appreciated," Lee barked back.
"Don't mention it you guys have to look after your pups now," Wrath barked again. "Guys are we headed to the labyrinth?" I cut in. "Unfortunately. I believe so," Wrath told me. Going up to Wrath I decided to hop on top of his back. "What are you doing?" he grumbled at me. "Resting please don't throw me off," I kinda hissed at him. "Still can't tell what type of sounds you foxes make," Wrath huffed out. I responded with a weird laughing sound to spite him. "Don't make me throw you off," he growled.

Our suspicions were verified as the labyrinth entrance was appearing closer insight. Wrath stopped walking making everyone come to a halt. He shook me off his back before transforming back into a human. Following right behind him I transformed back to make sure I wouldn't get left out of the conversation about to go down." Why are we stopping here?" "If you must know you'll wait a moment Annabeth." Wrath gave me an appreciative nod as he sent the hounds away. "This place we are about to enter is highly dangerous. I'm not going to bring the hounds smaller creatures would be best," Wrath explained. Soon there was a loud roar as Jax flew down towards us. He gave the twins a wet greeting as he licked them both with his huge tongue. Jax then greeted Sloth and Envy with a small nudge. Once his eyes meet mine I put my hands up in a defensive matter," Don't even think of it. Dragon drool does not wash out easily Jax."

"Hunter while Greed revives his bath from Jax will you call your wyvern please." "Please brother...Wrath please help...me. Jax this.. isn't funny..boy." No-one stopped the unnecessary slaughter so Jax continued bathing me in drool. "Dude thank the gods my dragon is made of metal and doesn't do that," Leo spoke. "Jax will stop as he meets his new playmate," Envy giggled. "There's the little guy," Hunter pointed out. Jax finally stopped to meet this new dragon so to speak. They circled each other as I tried to clean the drool off me. "Did you ever name him Hunter?" The boy nodded, "His name is Emberstorm." "Does that mean something to you?" "Yes, actually I chose it because even though he's not ever gonna be as big as Jax he will be strong. Sometimes all it takes to burn down anything is a small stray ember."

"Why not name him Spark. Don't you need a spark to start a fire?" Leo asked. "Yes, but spark could also be interpreted as electricity genius and he's a fire wyvern, not an electric," Gunter spoke. "How did you find that out?"Nico asked. "He accidentally burnt Hunter when he sneezed once. The flames came right out his nose," Gunter laughed. "Why didn't you say anything?" Envy asked going full-on mom mode. "Let them be Envy it already happened," I laughed out. She glared at me till Wrath calmed her down. "Greed I think you should help take point you've been in that thing longer than any of us." "You still haven't told us what this place is," complained Annabeth. "This is Daedalus Labyrinth."
