You were really starting to get tired of these dark and twisty tunnels. You either tripped on an unseen rock, someone's foot, or someone tripped on your foot. *cough*Zion*cough* 

UGH! WHERE IS IT?! You irritably wondered. 

You heard whispering behind you, sounded like Leo and Jaguar.

"So Jaguar, if you don't mind me asking..."

"I do mind." She replied flatly. Leo ignored her.

"what was that whole fit about back there?" There was a moment of silence.

Jaguar sighed in frustration. "I have a big fear of heights OK?! I always have, and now I know I'm the child of the sea god, being up high is getting out of my territory and into the 'eat voltage' zone. I don't need any of that Dr. Phil garbage so will you please leave it be?!"

You decided to step in before Leo says something stupid and Jaguar blows up even more. "Do any of you have ideas of finding our destination?"

Nico shrugged, "I'm not sure, I can't really tell direction in here, almost as if my sense of direction is being interfered with. I'm just as helpless as you are."

Great. 

"How about you Zion? I heard satyrs excel at finding directions in a situation like this."

Zion stopped a moment, and sniffed the air. Though the only light you had was the glow of your dagger, you could make out that Zion squinted his eyes, as if challenging the dark tunnel before him. Finally, he says "I smell burritos. That also happen to be in the direction that the monster stench is coming from. I know the way!" 

And with that Zion galloped off into the dark tunnel, literally. Everyone looked at each other, confused, but nevertheless you all bounded after him. You hoped the monsters had burritos, you could go for a warm, bean and cheese. 

Focus. You told yourself as you bolted down the tunnel, trying not to trip over rocks.

You almost rammed into Zion, who abruptly stopped in front of you. You, however, were not so fortunate. David crashed into you with a thump.  

The two of you crashed to the floor. Thankfully no else joined the pile. 

David, who had fallen on top of you, got off and helped you up saying "Sorry y/n, I wasn't looking where I was going, are you ok?" 

You lightly laughed, "Yeah I'm fine. Let's just slow down a bit, alright Speedy?"

David frowned, "Speedy?" You both started to laugh but you were cut off by Jaguar.

"Why have we stopped?" She curiously asked, concerned.

You lifted up Moirai, trying to get a better look at the situation. The tunnel you were standing in has ended, only to be met by three doorways. They were tall, black, identical doors, the silver nobs glinted in the glow. But something else also glinted in the glow of your dagger, it was a key, but it looked like glass, or...

"That key is made from the ice of the river of Styx." Nico pointed out.

The equation started forming in your head. "So that key opens any one of these three doors, however we have to chose wisely for we can only use the key once, since it's Styx ice." 

"Ok, but which one do we chose?" Jaguar prompts. 

"Zion, do you smell anything?" B/f/n asks. But the satyr stood in his place, petrified, his face was sheet white, his eyes wide with fear. He looked as if he's seen a ghost.
