Ivy love
Chapter 7: I Try To Figure Out My Quest
I walked back with Will to our cabin in silents, wondering why Dionysus had looked at me like that.
I mean i kind of guessed he was upset about not talking about earlier and made even caring that i was in danger but the look on his face seem to have been much darker...angry almost and i just didn't know what that had been about or better yet how to feel about it myself.
"Hey Will. Do you know why Mr.D is...well like that?" I asked thinking i might be able to get some information from my new step brother.
Will blinked startled out of whatever he been thinking about and turn to look at me with a raised eyebrow.
"You mean, all round jackass? No not really but Annabeth seems to have a possible answer." he said and I frowned.
" Who's Annabeth?"
Will stopped walking and so did I, i watched as Will tilled his head back in order to stare at the fading sun. " Annabeth Chase is the leader of the Athena cabin, but anyways. Annabeth went missing once' and Percy and Grover and a couple of others went on quest to save Artemis and well...Percy wasn't suppose to go, and ended up sneak out of camp," he paused to takeing a breath, and continued.
"Mr.D went after him and told him somethings about why he is the way he is, Percy doesn't talk about it but Annabeth thought that it had something to do with Mr.D's ex-wife Ariadne."
I frowned trying to remember that name.
"Wasn't she like...the daughter of king Minos, and the priestess of the Minotaur?" I asked because that was all i could remember off the top of my head.
"Yeah she was, but one day she fell in love with a hero named Theseus, she helped him killed the monster, and get out of the labyrinth by using a golden ball of string, will Theseus was killing the monster Ariadne fell in love with him. He said he would marry her, and end up dumping her on a island. Mr.D found her, they fell in love and lived happily ever after." Will said and started walking again, I followed him and my frown deepen.
"Wait if they lived Happily Ever After, how come they got divorce?" asked trying to make scents of this, if they had been happily married then what had changed?
" I don't know. my guess she got tried of waiting for him. when they got married he had to leave her alone a lot in order for him to gain power, and had to do this repeatedly throw out the centuries, and now she had to wait for him to come back to Olympus in another fifty years without contract with each other... yeah I think she got fed up with waiting." Will said as we reached our cabin and Will paused holding the door half open.
"Ivy...be careful. I don't want to lose my new sister." he said and I nodded blushing slightly.
"Yeah...I'll try." I said and went inside.
The dream was wired and I mean weirder then normal for me.
There was flashes of rooms, the sound of screaming and suddenly there I was standing in a empty room with only a table in it, on the table was a small black box with a note on top of if and walking forward i picked it put and read it.
'I want this back when your done.'
Was all it said and I flipped it over but there was no induction as to who sent it, or even what IT was.
I looked at the box and chewed my lip as i thought.
Do I take it or Do i not take it?
Deciding to risk picking up the box, and as soon as i made contacted with the box, there was a sudden thousand volts of electricity arching throw my body.
I sat bot up in bed breathing hard, and looked around wildly.
I was back in my room in Apollo cabin, there was no strange rooms, or sounds of horrible screaming, or even a mysterious box, i reached over and turned on the light and saw two box on my vanity. One looked like a jewelery box from some fancy store, and the other was ... the box, the same box from my dreams.
Looking at the thing, clearly now i could see it was a old wooden square chest with a old rusted latches, the box looked like it had seen better days; the wood was scared and chipped in several places, and hinges looked like they could use some oil.
I stood up from the bed, and graded a hanger from the closet. I didn't want to relive getting zapped to death by a freaking box, so this time i reached out a poked it with one of the ends of the hanger and waited.... after a moment of just standing there in my underwear waiting for... some thing i reached out a lightly touched the box.
Again nothing happen, so putting down the hanger i carefully tried to open it, it was hard given the rusted hinges and latch but i manged it with a grunt.
When the lid popped open i carefully looked inside to see a huge ball of golden string, i stared at the huge thing and thought back to the dream note.
'I want this back when your done.'
It had said, but who wanted it back?
'The golden string will lead you back.'
I knew i needed this to get back from wherever i was going, but just where was i going?
I try to think back to all the myth i know that involved a ball of golden string and came up blank, I shock my head and thought back to the rest of the prophecy.
'a promise made but will be broken.'
What did that mean?
Would I, or any of my friends make some kind of promise that we couldn't keep?
I thought about it then shook my head, the thought didn't feeling right for some reason, that part felt personal...self related and I had a feeling it had something to do with me and Dionysus.
'A path to walk but much to lose in the end.'
So wherever me and my friends are going, where going to lose something...but what?
The ball, our lives, or what?
'Sliver drove's song is sweet indeed but without protection its wings will brake.'
Well the Dove had to be Mercy because the sacred animal of her mother was a Dove, the song part made no scene though. As far as i know Mercy couldn't sing and the other part about a broken wing...did mean Mercy would be hurt or did mean something else?
I frowned, my mind a ladyrinth of never ending thought...hold on.
"The Ladyrinth." I whispered.
Some of the pieces clicked into place and started to make scene,The golden string The path and promise made; it all fell into place and i know where i had to go and why i had to.
I had to witness something,something old and painful...something someone would clearly want not to relive.
