Percy Jackson/1D And The Creators Horn

The Riddles Pit

Harry was standing in front of two wooden doors, Thomas was standing next to him, each door had two sets of numbers, the door to his left showed 10982 demigods had went in and 10865 had come out, over 100 kids have died Harry thought.

The door to his right showed 10568 kids had come in and 10368 kids had come out, Harry shuddered thinking about it.

Harry decided to chose the door on his left, based on the fact more kids seemed to have survived it.

He pulled it open and walked in side, Harry's eyes widened as he saw what was inside...

Harry stared as he looked at a huge empty hole in the floor, well it looked more like a pit really, he looked like he was on a cliff, looking downwards into nothing....

Just darkness...

That's all there was...

Harry with a sickening jolt realised if he'd stepped to far he would of fallen down into the unknown....

Suddenly he heard Thomas's voice even though he couldn't see him anywhere as Thomas's voice said creepily "Welcome to the Riddles pit...watch your step.."

Harry stepped forward slightly then something went crunch! Underneath his foot.

Harry quickly looked down, his eyes widening as he saw a piece of scroll underneath his foot.

Harry hesitated and picked it up, he unraveled it.

There was some sort of poem inside? No not poem...riddle...

Harry started to read it out, he felt an uneasy feeling inside his stomach...

It said...

"A step into air.

A step into nothing you will go...

Right on top of the evils lair...

Where lives a terrifying foe.

If you fail.

You will meet his dark embrace.

So inhale

And get ready for the chase..."

Harry stared at the riddle, what was that meant to mean?

He read the first to lines...that sounded like...

No!

No way was he doing that!

Suddenly the small rocky platform he was standing on made a creaking sound and started to crumble

Oh hades!

"Step into nothing you will go"

So step of this cliff into the pit?!

He couldn't do that!

Then the platform gave another shudder as cracks began to appear...

The platform was going to give any second!

Harry looked at the riddle...

Reading the beginning again and again

"Step into air, step into nothing you will go, right on top of-"

Harry stopped suddenly realising something, Right!

Right on top of the evils lair.

The two first lines of the riddle were telling him to step of the platform into nothing...

And the third line...

Just as the platform collapsed, Harry turned to the right and still going in that direction he stepped of of the cliff into nothing...
