[IC] Percy Jacson: The Frozen Fortress

[makarov]

Ian had to run hard to Tabitha's side but he was fast so he made it in time to steady her, "Gods be merciful..." To keep from getting left behind he put her arm on his shoulder and walked briskly to keep up. He looked at her massive wings and a chill that reached the bone went through both of them. "What was that?" Ian's eyes had turned black looking almost identical to Abe's and Ian grabbed his face in shock and pain, "FUCK!" Ian fell away from her and crawled back, "What did you do to me?!" The shadows began flocking to him circling him until he was laying what looked like a puddle of shadows, "my eyes...it hurts!"

[smarty0114]

John was about to head into the Labryinth with the others when wings erupted from Tabitha's back. "Holy Hades!" He shouted, taken aback. Then he watched as Ian fell to the ground, his eyes black as night as he screamed. John rushed over and knelt, careful not to touch the shadows that were pooling around him.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Adrian scowled at the group, his hand tightly holding onto his sword. He snorted softly at Andrew, unfond of how he was able to threaten Charlie with mere thoughts to kill him. If he didn't have his precious magic, he would have lost. Just because Alexandra could hold her own, doesn't mean that anyone else could do so.

Austin quickly moved over to Tabitha's hesitating to help her when he looked at Ian, but John was looking over him. He said to Tabitha," what's going on?" He created a ball of lightning in his hand, lighting the area around them.

Myra sighed, closing her eyes and breathing deeply with her back against the walls of the labyrinth. "What in the name of Ra happened? Why does she have wings?" She asked as she hugged herself and was suddenly back in her old, comfortable clothes of jeans and a white t-shirt.

[makarov]

Ian clawed at his own eyes and turned over onto his knees while gritting his teeth and trying not to scream, "IT BURNS!!!" Ian looked up to John with his soulless eyes, "I'm dying!" Ian looked as though he were slowly melting into the pool of black shadow around his feet. The area turned super cold and Abe started laughing wildly near the bus, "Imagine that!" Abe stepped onto the bus and was gone. A voice echoed down the tunnel wildly, "The children this way come...Death walks among them...Death will swallow them in shadow..." The voice was sickening but to the Egyptians it could be followed and then maybe...This quest might continue.

[Saarebas]

Andrew's eyes widen slightly as he watched the transformation of his Greek companions, but set on the other hand was nearly doubling over with laughter. "Oh this is just getting better and better!" The red god said as he appeared next to Andrew. The boy stood were he was as the two went through their spots of pain, only moving his gaze when he heard the demon speak. "And what does that mean? By the Ra I hate riddles." Andrew said as he crossed his arms.

[Yog Sothoth]

Charlie was suddenly drawn to Ian's cries of pain, and Albert followed, heading back to join the others gathered around the son of Morpheus. He hurried over and was trying to figure what was wrong with the boy. he then heard Abe's laugh as he began to walk back towards the bus. Charlie glared at him and tried to chase after him

"what did you do to him!?" but it was too, Abe had already gotten in his bus and disappeared leaving them in the labyrinth. he walked back over to the others and cursed to himself. he then heard strange words that he couldn't figure where they were coming from and it made his nerves sting.

Albert was standing close by Ian and was thinking of what to do. "Do you think we should pull him away from those shadows? because i can do it with my light constructs"

[smarty0114]

John had no idea what to do. He watched as Ian screamed in pain and seemed to melt into the shadows. When the voice sounded a shiver ran down his spine as he realized that Ian was being swallowed by shadows. He heard Albert offer his services and he nodded quickly as Ian melted farther into the mysterious shadows.

[CallaLily180]

Myra shook her head and sighed, whatever was happening was beyond her, but still she had to try. Sending Maw to Ian he would be fully doused, she wasn't sure if it would help though.

When the voice came Myra screamed and yet, grabbed Micheal's hand, then Andrew's, pulling them closer and then pointing to where she thought the voice was located. "What are we going to do?" She asked, dropping their hands and covering her ears slightly.

[Kaithas]

IC: "You people..."

Tabitha slowly rose to her feet of her own volition, wings spanning behind her to their full width as her blood and their feathers dried.

"You people have no idea what you're dealing with. You speak of glory, and honor, and being the toughest, or the best."

Her voice shook. "Talk about living, instead. If we're dealing with this level of being, just talk about living through this quest. I don't know that it's what did this to me or is attacking Ian, but... God help us all. That voice..."

She shuddered and turned to Albert. "Try to pull him away, or at least bring light to the dark."

[Yog Sothoth]

Charlie was taken aback by the girl's appearance, he'd never heard of a demigod who had wings and he wondered what was the cause of Tabitha's wings.

"why do you have wings? I didn't know that any demigods had them" he asked her.

---

Albert nodded and didn't listen to Charlie's question, right now he was focus on trying to decide whether to bathe the shadows in light or pull Ian away from them with a construct. He decided that pulling him away from the shadows was a better course of action, and concentrated on making a construct. Albert created a large glowing hand made of solid light, and made the hand pick up the demigod and try to pull him away from the shadows on the ground. Albert hoped that separating Ian from the shadows wouldn't cause more harm.

[makarov]

As Ian left the shadows he seemed to relax a bit, "W-what happened...My body...I'm so cold..." The tunnel began to creak and moan slowly a sign that the place was beginning to change shape and that the demigods needed to get moving or else the might never escape this darkened hell. Ian however looked in no condition to be going anywhere his eyes were still black and his skin had gone pale, "I don't feel right..." The shadows on the ground seemed to move and lurch trying to reach out to grab the boy. A voice next to everyone whispered softly, "Best to be leaving now demigods...The demons are behind you..."

"Okay this is getting really freaking creepy." Alec said her hand going to rest on her sword.

((I'm going to change some of Alec's power))

[Kaithas]

IC: Tabitha shook her head quickly, mind filling with old knowledge, knowledge that wasn't hers, that wasn't, no she wasn't-

Or was it, was she?

Light. We need light. Shadows are scared of light.

"Get Ian to the middle of the group! Albert, you're with me. If any of the rest of you can light up this place, I want you to the front of the pack!" She knew it wasn't her place to be giving orders, but no one else was.

"Start moving!"

She turned to the side, to Albert. "We're bringing up the rear. Looks like that last stand might come sooner than we thought."

[booksmusicanime]

Alec spotted a path of sunlight and she ran over to it and put a hand in it and pulled her hand slowly out of it. A small bit of sunlight in her hand she went back over to the group.

[Yog Sothoth]

"So what do you want us to do? Shine light on these shadows?" Albert asked Tabitha. if it was light that they needed then he could provide it and began to make his arms glow a bright golden color.

[makarov]

Ian looked around desperately and his eyes remained that black color, "We have to go...We have to...Run!" Ian slumpped after that as if he were dead. That's when a horrible scratching sound came from deep in the tunnel behind the group, followed by low growling and an almost moo like roar. The tunnel changed shape as they continued until they were standing in a massive cathedral with paintings of destroyed cities and a tree with golden apples.

[booksmusicanime]

"Holy...." Alec muttered her hand still held the ball of sunshine but in her other hand she had her sword drawn
