We followed Lee to one of the big rooms in this place. Kori told us where to go. When we got there he was standing in the doorframe. There's a lot of yelling coming from the room he watching. I hear the sound of metal on metal and Lee sighs.
"What exactly, do you all think you're doing?" He asks the room in front of him. I look in the door to see a lot of guilty looking primordials and one annoyed looking one. Lee stiffens but I don't know what happened because Kori taps my arm. She signals that we should hide and I agree with her. When we're going to a hidden spot we hear mumbles of "sorry son." We get to the spot and I turn around to see Erebus through a dagger at Lee who waves his hand so the dagger abruptly turns to hit the side wall. Erebus mumbles something we can't hear.
"Just be happy that I don't hate you for doing that." Lee tells him then address everyone "don't kill each other." He then turns around again but Erebus throws another dagger but at the back of Lee's head this time. Just before it hit Lee it appears in his hand and he throws it back to Erebus with incredible speed and accuracy. Erebus barely dodges.
"What was that for?!" Erebus shouts at Lee.
"I don't appreciate family members trying to kill me for their personal gain."
"So what about Tartarus?" Erebus asks.
"We made a deal." Lee tells him.
"And what if I want to make a similar one?" Erebus asks.
"Then we can talk. But until then, keep your daggers to yourself." Lee tells him and I tell he's trying to stay calm.
Lee turns around again but looks back to them when Erebus mumbles something. All the primordial's in the room were glaring at him or urging him to run before Lee cut him off.
"What was that?"
"Just that you're a lazy, selfish--" before he can keep going Lee has him pinned to the wall. I get Kori to turn around and Nico to cover her ears.
"Never say that again." Lee tells him with fury in his voice.
"Yeah? And what's a 16 year old kid going to do? You don't even have your weapons."
"As you saw earlier. I adapte fast and work faster."
"You don't stand a chance."
"Where did she go?" I hear Nico ask in shock. I look over my shoulder to see Kori's gone.
"Astrlee?" I hear the girls voice and look to see her beside her brother who drops Erebus.
"Kori. Stop doing that." Her mom scolds.
"Kori?!" Molly yells and I decide to play along.
"Kori!" They haven't seemed to notice us.
"I can only teleport when Astrlee's here." She complains.
"Not our problem." Gaia tells her.
"Kori, the others are probably worried sick about you." Lee tells her. Molly keeps calling for her.
"Kori!" This catches Lee's attention.
"Kori go find her so she can take you for a little bit." Lee tells his sister. She sighs and leaves the room. As soon as Kori left Erebus lunges at Lee who, in the blink of an eye, isn't there any more. Erebus looks stunned at where Lee was standing. I can hear Lee's laughter at his confusion. Lee's now leaning against the wall beside the dagger he defeated earlier. Lee grabs the knife out of the wall and he throws it in the air, where it spins, then catches it by the handle each time. "Do you want a rematch Erebus?"
"No 16 year old should be able to defeat a primordial." Erebus rants.
"I'll take that as a yes." Lee tells him then they disappear. Where did they go?
