Percy Jackson/1D And The Creators Horn

(Zayn) Coming To A Close

Zayn felt like he was falling slowly, everything dawning on him at once.

"You control the Maze" Zayn told the face in the mirror.

It just chuckled darkly, not responding but its silence was enough. It was very clear why know one came out of the maze, these wern't tests at all, just traps. A scream suddenly came from behind him.

Alexis! Zayn thought, twisting around, a sudden urge to follow the sound but he remembered her warning, he needed to see her 5 times before he went after her, the rest were hulicinations.
The face with the golden eyes in the mirror looked disapointed when Zayn didn't go running, this made Zayn even more sure of himself.

Zayn asked slowly "So, what now?"

The face suddenly grinned nastily as he said powerfully "Lets play a small game. I give you a list of riddles, each one will give you a sample of the future"

Zayn frowned "I'm sick of riddles"

It laughed evilly "To bad Demigod, your friends are probably dead now anyway"

Zayn didn't reply, refusing to take the bait though his mind screamed No! The face suddenly disappeared from the mirror. Laughter cackled around Zayn as he jumped backwards from a mirror to his left when the misty form of the face and glowing golden eyes formed inside the mirror. Zayns own side ways reflection disappearing.

"I am black with no voice. I am dark underneath, I am with no mind or choice. I am emptiness with sharp black rock teeth. What am I?"

Zayn easily worked it out, a shudder went through his spine as he said tensly "Tartarus"

It said another riddle"I open and I close. I am where two months were away. I am where no one willingly goes. I am where you all will become prey. I am where you may meet formidible foes. What am I?" Two words came to Zayns mind but no...It couldn't be. How did the face in the mirror know where they were heading unless there were another set of doors to Tartarus. As Tarurnus was underneath this Maze. Why didn't he think of this before?

Zayn said shaken up "The Doors Of Death"

The face smiled and his voice grew more dangerous as he said "I am mystical and I can sing. I am what could be your last breath. War I will bring and I am your mortal death. What am I?"

At first Zayn didn't realise what it meant but when he did, Zayn stumbled backwards, his eyes widening. He didn't understand all of it but the bits of the riddle he did and they hinted big time what the face was talking about.

"No" He muttered, it couldn't be here could it?

The face sneered "Come on Demigod. What am I?"

Zayn said so quitly it was almost a whisper "The Creators Horn, how did you-?"

The face disappeared again. Zayn could only hear it instead and this time warning bells were going of in his head, screaming for him to get out of here. Zayn had a sinister feeling that whatever it was going to say next would maybe his death sentence.

The monster from Tartarus said slyly, his voice like silk and pure menace "I am trapped in a dark pit. I am what everyone fears. My sons rule over you. So you better beware. Golden eyes stare out from the Mirror. Waiting for Demigods to fall into my gain. By The daughter of Athena, Son of Hermes and Poseidon I was slain!"

"Who am I?!"

Zayn paled like a ghost. His breaths came in quick gasps, his body froze. Even he hadn't been in the titen war, every demigod knew the of how it started and how it finished. It was a legend in its own right...

And it had just come clear, who the monster was in the mirror that had been taunting him. Who was in control of the Maze. Who would surely kill him and all of his friends.

Zayns heart felt like it had frozen in his chest in ice cold fear, sweat trickled down him. Zayn choked out, looking all around him for the face with the golden eyes... golden name, who Zayn dared name him "K-Kronos!"

The face of Krono's laughed darkly then the very ground seemed to shudder, the cave seemed to drop in tempeture and Zayn did what his instincts were telling him to do for the first time he'd met the face in the mirror, he ran.

Through the mirrors maze, almost crashing into a couple, Krono's laughter following him.

"Run then little Demigod. Run for your life" He cackled.

Just them a couple of illusions of Alexis and Thomson popped up in the mirrors. They were both screaming in terror. The mirror showed them hanging from some sort of cliff edge in the Maze.

Zayn counted the illusions and how many times he had seen them, four times, the next time he sees them then they'd be in real danger, then he'd have to help.

"Come out, come out where ever you are demigod. Its time to play" Kronos called out, sounding quite close, making Zayns heart beat faster and faster. Everything inside him sparked with fear.

Then the scream was heard and Zayn knew it was real this time, he follwed the sound of her screaming and ran down the mirror maze, almost crashing into a few mirrors, the air was still cold as ice, reminding Zayn, who was still after him.

Then as he turned a corner, he saw a mirror with a image that looked like reflection even though it wasn't reflecting anything. Alexis holding on a ledge of a cliff. Her brother holding on to her other arm, dangling into nothing. Zayn knew she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

He put his hand out, touching where there should be glass but there was nothing but thin air. Zayn then without thinking ran into the mirror, coming out the other side, quickly realising he was on a different part of the Maze.

A drop that just seemed to just keep going down and never ending was just about in front of him with Alexis and her brother hanging from the cliff.

She gasped when she saw him "You made it"

Zayn didn't respond as he bent down and offered her his hand hurridly, she shook her head "You won't be able to hold us both and pull us up!"

Zayn pleaded "You have to try!"

Alexis made a frightened gasp as she started to slip. Zayn bent down even more and grabbed hold on to her wrist.

Alexis still didn't let go of the rock.

"Help us" Thomson shouted angrily as if Zayn wasn't trying. He decided that snapping at the boy wouldn't help the situation any more. Suddenly an idea came to Zayn, he remembered how Nico had controlled the shadows when he'd saved Niall from that vemon spitting monster, could he control shadows like that?

Well, control then enough for them to grab on to the shadows, if he could make them solid. Alexis and her brother could grab on to them and he could pull them up? Zayn grinned in relief when he thought up the plan, right now, he just had to controll the shadows then turn them solid, okay, easy....How was he going to do this?

Zayn tried to concentrate, focusing on a couple of shadows in front of him that were reflected of the walls. A rush of power flooded through Zayns body quite suddenly and he noticed that all the shadows, not only the ones he was looking at were slowly creeping towards him.

"Zayn!" Alexis yelped as she slipped down some more, her grip on the rock slowly failing.

"Alexis, hold on!" Thompson yelled.

"I'm trying!" Alexis shouted back, terrified.

Zayn tried to desperately to focus harder but it was no use, the shadows were coming to him to slowly! Then it happened...Alexis and Thomson both let out a scream as Alexis slipped. She was unable to hold her and her brother's weight any more. Giving up on the shadows, Zayn didn't think as he lept forward, his hand out steched, grasping onto her wrist.

For a moment they seemed to hang in the air then both of their weight pulled Zayn down with them. Zayns left hand, desperately trying to clutch the side of the cliff but there was nothing he could grip onto! Quite suddenly and violently he tumbled of the edge with them.

Before he could even think of screaming, or think of any reaction that was happening apart from surprise and fear, suprisingly everything came to a halt. As a strong hands suddenly gripped onto his own hand, stopping him, Alexis and Thomson from moving.

Zayn couldn't help but scream as a pain he never knew before cut through his body from his hand were his mysterious saviour was holding him, from going into the abyss. It felt like it was burning! Then with strength that Zayn didn't know was possible, he was suddenly flung upwards, along with Alexis. An scream of terror was heard but Zayn wasn't reregistering it, only the pain slicing through him was on his mind.

He crumpled on to the ground, the strong hand that had saved them, disapeared from his arm, then so did the pain. Zayn checked his arm, his eyes widening as burn marks were etched on his hand, it was red, and looked swollen were his saviour had grabbed it?

"You're lucky you're not a normal Demigod. My touch to mortal souls can do worse when I'm not in my full form"

Zayn looked up at his savior and he gaped at who had saved him, his mouth hung open. It was a striking man but it was difficult to desribe him as his form, kept on flickering, like he wasn't really there, an ghost even. But from what Zayn could make out, the demigod or god, who knows? Had black eyes and black, short, silk like hair. But thats all he could make out from how much the mans figure seemed to blurr and flicker.

But from what Zayn was sure of was that this man was defiantly not mortal.

He also noticed there was shadows behind the man, on the wall that was not just his shadow but it looked like the man had shadowy wings spreading from his back if you looked at it from a certain angle (You see where I got the idea for my cover from) and an odd feeling washed over Zayn...

The mans aura was compelling but dangerous at the same time, even a bit mysterios and some how he felt like their should be more energy and strength coming from the aura, like his saviour was holding back his real power on purpose.

"Who are you?" Zayn stammered.

He felt like he should grovel at the strange mans feet, worship him and do his bidding. Zayn had no idea where those feelings had come from but he shook them of quickly enough to hear the man's amused response "Everyone I meet seems to ask me that question"

His voice was strong and it filled up the area easily, powerful, though his voice seemed to be quite but you could hear every word however once again, this seemed to be deliberately, like he could speak normaly but chose to be more quite instead.

Zayn asked hesitantly "And what do you reply?"

The man said gently "I have many names however your people tend to call me by one name in particler, but why bore you now? You will find out soon, I'm sure. Though at the present, I believe your new friend needs to be looked after"

Just as he was about to reply, sobs racked the air. Zayn glanced in Alexis direction, then he realised in horror that her brother was no where to be seen.

Zayn asked worriedly, dreading the answer "Alexis, where's-?"

Alexis choked on her tears "He fell, when we were pulled up, I-I couldn't save him"

Zayn stiffened in shock then he pulled her into a hug and she sobbed into his chest.

"I am afraid you must come with me Son of Hades. I'm sure she will meet you outside of the maze" His tone was still quite but there was no sympathy for the crying Demigod in front of them.

Alexis finally looked up, her eyes widened and became glazed over as she stared at the man, she stilled. Alexis then shivered and she suddenly kneeled on the floor. "My Lord" She gasped. Then her eyes looked more alert as Alexis jumped from the floor and stuttered, shocked "I-I don't know, why I did that?"

The man chuckled "Your soul recognises me, thats why my child"

Alexis said warily "I'm not a child"

The being, laughed lightly then spread out his arms "You are all children to me, even the gods"

With that statement Zayn and Alexis both stepped back, as they both recognised they were standing in front of an extremely powerful individual.

He turned more serious as he held out his hand to Zayn and said "I can not hold this form for long on earth, you can see how it flickers in and out of existence. You must come with me godling, your friends survival rests on it"

Zayn glanced at his hand before he asked "Before you take me where ever, why? Why do you want to save my freinds so badly?"

He said calmly "You are clever, godling. You and your friends must complete the great prothercy and one of your friends is of...Special interest to me"

Zayn shivered at that, then he said his voice trembling "So its true, we are part of the great prophecy"

The man said "Of couse, who did you think was going to be part of it? Percy Jackson again?"

Zayn shook his head in bewildiment as he raised his hand to take the mans hand, that looked so ghost like, that Zayn would go through it and could see through it. Before he took the hand, with slight fear he whispered "Who are you?"

But the man just replied with a sentence that made no sense and grasped Zayns hand and pain engulfed his hand once again.

Even though the sentace made no sense. Zayn always remembered it through out his life and how true it became...

“Life is nothing, without a little Chaos to make it interesting.”

Notes
