Traitors of Olympus » Places

         Alex's response stopped Theo from bringing his hammer down on the wall. Had Alex only told him there was no one on the other side he would have whacked away until it came down but the extra information brought new thoughts with it. From what he knew about architecture, which was a lot, they placed rooms of similar purpose close to each other. He could only guess if the gods followed the same principle but assuming they did, those other rooms Alex noticed were other interrogation rooms. Those interrogation rooms could hold more falsely accused heroes like him and Alex. Maybe they-
"Earth to Alex and Theodore, are you guys done? I can't hold them back for the whole day you know," the girl's voice snapped Theo from his thoughts and he looked back to where she was fighting. His eyes widened as he saw the four skeletal warriors armed with wicked swords. He was about to rush and attack the undead just out of instinct when he realized they were fighting against the guards. Unless Hades wasn't as insane as the rest of the gods, these soldiers had been summoned by one of his children. He looked at the girl with a hint of fear but mostly newfound respect. Sadly he was still watching when a soldiers sword pierced her defense.
They won't be able to hold out forever he thought before hefting his hammer to his shoulder. Act now think later he thought. It was a strategy that had yet to fail him and as he used it now he hoped it wasn't about to change.
He was just about to make the first swing when Phoenix came from behind and grabbed his wrist. "First-class ticket out of this shit hole, hold on to your faces, and you're welcome."
"What do you-" Again Phoenix interrupted him in a way he never would have expected. The world went completely black but he could hardly comprehend that before he was speeding faster than a bullet. He felt every part of his body go limp and he had to struggle to keep enough his hammer from rocketing off into the void. It was scarier than any monster he'd ever fought and yet it was over as soon as it started. A bright light sliced through the black and blinded Theo for a considerable amount of time. Before his vision returned he could feel that he was out of the darkness and on a rocky floor. He lurched forward upon landing and greedily gulped in air. He felt as if he had ridden 100 roller coasters all at once and he couldn't stop himself from faintly moaning. He laid himself down against the rocky floor and waited for the sickness to subside. Every one of his limbs were numb and he had no idea if he still had his hammer. Heck, he hardly knew if he still had clothes on but he was too disoriented to care.
