The heroes stood by the lakeside and pondered for a few seconds. Theseus stood up and marched away.

"Are we leaving?" Said Wilt, looking around at the others.

Balagor woke up from his nap and shrugged. He leaped into the air and hit the floor with a thud, taking off after Theseus. The others slowly milled after them. Stonehard Lee stood at the back and waited before moving out himself. Airlea was the last to leave, watching the others carefully as they turned the corner by the entrance to the Labyrinth.

Purple sparks cascaded down the walls as Theseus looked up. Now or never right? What was the worst that would happen. He walked up to the doorway and pushed hard. The stone slab shifted under his weight and he stepped into the darkness. The others slowly milled over. Lee had to duck to fit his frame in.

The hall beyond was very decorative. It was surrounded by statues of the gods and of the minotaur. Maria took it all in, eyes open wide. Talion stood by the doorway looking carefully around.

"How far in do we have to go exactly?" Said Pai Chan suspiciously.

The group shrugged. Minos hadn't been specific.

"Well he wanted information on his fallen soldiers if I recall." Said Andrael helpfully.

"I disagree. He wanted us to explore and map the layout." Said Ajax triumphantly.

Genevieve glanced around at the purple sparks curiously. Finally Airlea spoke.

"Does anybody actually know what we're meant to be doing?" She asked.

There was some murmuring. Nobody did.

"Well there's only one way forward from here. I've done this before you know. So we might as well go through a few doors and just turn the hell back. If Minos doesn't pay me I'll make him pay with my sword." Said Theseus.

"For once I agree." Said Wilt with a smile.

They took in their surroundings curiously. Up ahead was a single doorway at the end of a long tunnel. It was illuminated by a strange light that didn't seem to have a viable source. Magic? It left the walls looking a strange orange colour. It was rather immaculate for a death-trap.

Peter stepped forward and felt a crunch. He looked down. A single piece of chalk lay on the floor.

"....second thoughts tough guy...."

The words echoed around the room. The heroes braced themselves. What was that? They eyed up their surroundings carefully. Nobody was there and it hadn't come from the group.

"Just one of the wizard's tricks...I'm sure." Said Andrael, doubting his own words slightly.
