The next morning everyone is outside of the inn geared up for the journey to the labyrinth of the lamia. Misty chants a spell and opens a Portal "ok you three I open a Portal near the mountain road that leads to the labyrinth".

"Why aren't you opening at the labyrinth " Rebecca asks?

"The labyrinth is protected by a magic spell that prevents teloportion magic, the only way there is to walk or fly now lets go" misty leads tim, Ashley and Rebecca through into a grassy and rocky field. They all look at the towering mountains with the peaks covered in black clouds. Misty looks towards the mountains "straight ahead is a road carved into the mountains made by the armies of the demons and the edge of the barrier that prevents me from getting closer, now listen I dont know the condition of the road or if the lamia is still around so if you want to change your mind this is your chance ".

Tim shacks his head no "you helped me and Ashley so we will help".

Ashley nods her head "we owe you for that".

Rebecca nods as well "you lift the darkness from my mind and made me ,me again I owe you a great debt ".

"Thank you now lets go" misty leads them to the foot of the mountains following a river, until they reach a very old cobbled road that leads into the mountains "this it from the records I found it will take five days of walking to get to the entrance ". They go on the well worn road heading deep into the mountains and climbing higher and higher up at some points on the road the road has crumbled away or has washed away from mud and rock slides. Along the road are rest stops carved into the mountains as places for the demons to take shelter from the elements of the mountains and to store supplies. After seven days of travel and being delayed by obstacles on the road they reach a large plateau and infront of them is a large stone bridge leading into a enormous doorway that even Ashley in her giant slime form couldn't even touch the top.

Ashley looks at it" wow it's enormous how big were the gods"?

"Some where enormous as mountains and others the sizes of humans, now we will camp now and move in the morning I willstay up and watch the camp can't risk having something attacking us in the night" they all move into dug out cavern and make camp.

Deep inside the labyrinth a eighty foot lamia is relaxing on a stone slab that has been bascing in the sun. "Yawn so bored when was the last time I had a intruder must of been thousands of years uh all I get is mountain goats in my lair" her stomach growls with hunger "Well might as well eat" she gets off her slab and slither towards a pen of goats and grabs them and shoves them into her mouth and gulps "yuck I dont know what is more gross goats or demons" her clothes are still elegant even after centuries by herself and fighting the horde of demons. She wears a blind over her eyes blind ordered by her creator and master to never take it off ,but even with the lack of sight her other senses are very keen to detect the slightest sound and the faintest smell. The labyrinth that she is in charge of guarding is enormous and goes very deep into the mountain with many chambers ,hallways, bridges and stairs all full of treasures of great knowledge, power and wealth. She slithers through the maze of hallways some leading somewhere others dead ends with some nasty traps.

The next morning everyone is eating breakfast getting ready to venture into the labyrinth where no person living has ever returned. They walk inside and see only darkness. Misty uses a spell to light their way "ok everyone stay close theirs no telling what kind of traps and surprises that are in here" and so they move into the dark passageway.
