Lost Legends

Chapter 9

The big three felt their blood run cold that sound, they had been praying to hear from these people for so long but they never wanted it to be this. Screaming of fear or agony they couldn't tell honestly they were not sure if they wanted to know, if it was out of fear then they would want to put an end to what's causing that fear but if its from agony then you best bet that they would put and end to that as well. It doesn't matter that they are going to make sure the people how took them were punished well beyond what any villain before has faced, no if they see so much as a red mark on them the big three will make sure they make Taurus look like a luxury holiday destination.

The wifes of the big three knew what their husbands were thinking and couldn't help but think the same. How much they wanted to just wrap them up in a hug and make all of this seem like a mear nightmare.

The other olympians felt their breath catch in their throats. They didn't want the first time they heard their voices to be this. This agonising screaming. Three children, their half sister, their cousins, yes it was true that the gods were not massively fond of them but they are family and it still hurts to hear it. The screaming was easily recognizable; it was percy, thalia and nico. Screaming at the top of their lungs for their father, mother, cousin, friends, anyone to make whatever was happening to them stop. Even Ares felt his heart crumble at the sound and he has heard countless battle cries. But that sound was something that none of them expected to affect them as much as it did, all of them felt like they wanted to crumble to the ground.

It was unknown as to how long they were standing there but eventually they began running towards the sound. Down three hallways, three staircases and past rows and rows of cells which looked like they were made for animals lined the walls till finally they came to the one that produced the sound. Ares and Hephaestus worked together to pry the door of its hungues but to everyone's shock and disappointment no one was inside, just a lonely recorder set in the far back of the room. The olympians gazed around and saw thick chains and blood coated the floor. The children had been there. It was unclear as to how long ago but they were there once. All of them sent a silent prayer to chaos that the children weren't dead. The sight was horrible, by just the mear state of the room you could tell the children had suffered a great deal.

From the corner of his eye Hades caught sight of one of the intruders from the camp and yet again the olympians followed behind. The person was quick. Too quick for any mere mortal. "Well they're quick." Apollo said slightly out of breath. "Well no shit Sherlock" Ares hissed at his brother. "They're equally as fast as Hermes." Athena noted, causing the rest of the group to come to a similar realisation. The person was as quick as but yet fastest out of all of the Olympians there is no way anyone could beat him. But yet here they were out running even him. No one knew what to make of it. Soon they came into what looked like a large arena, where they had lost sight of the intruder. "Well isn't it nice to have the whole family back together." A dark voice chuckled from the tall wall. The olympians looked up at the man's anger clearly present in their features; not only did they see the source of the sound but also the intruders from the camp. All of whom glared down at them with such hatred in their eyes that it would make even the bravest of men flinch.
