Nikolaos walked along one of the many tunnels of the Labyrinth, following a golden string. Starvation and fatique gripped at his ankles as he trudged along. "This is hopeless!" He exlaimed, voice raspy from lack of water. Blood of animals wasn't very nice, but it kept you alive. Suddenly, the string ended, as if it ran out. "What?" Nikolaos said, wondering what happened. He looked to his left, where a tunnel suddenly opened, the end full of light. "YES!" He exclaimed, eyes widening. He ran towards the exit, then tripped. His broken sword slipped out of it's sheath and landed on the ground, aimed up by a second rock. Nikolaos let out a horrid scream as the sword went through his calf, going al the way through. Nikolaos let out a string of curses in Greek. Than sat up, blood pouring from his leg. The tunnels started to shake, rocks falling from the celing. "No!" He yelled, pulling the sword from his leg and using it to pull himself along. He climbed out of a pile of rocks into a clearing. Nikolaos lay still, panting. "Yes! I'm out!" He exclaimed, then shrieked as his leg hit a rock. "Help!" He called out, raspy voice filling the air. "Please!"

Zexion looked up at the unfamiliar cry. He walked fast, but didn't run, towards the sound. There was someone at Zeus's Fist. "Who are you?" the slate haired boy asked, already pulling out some bandages.

Suddenly a teenager was at his side, asking who he was. "Oh thank gods!" Nikolaos exclaimed. "I'm Nikolaos, son of Helios." He looked weakly around at his unfamiliar surroundings. "Where..." Nikolaos broke into a fit of dry coughing. "W-where am I?"

"Here," Zexion said, pulling out a small bottle of unlabled water he almost always carried around, "Son of Helios." He took his bandages and began wrapping his wound with a small bag of leaves. He began to chew the leaves into a pulp before begining to spread it on both sides of his wound. "This is Camp Half-Blood," the son of Morpeous replied, "How are you, might I ask, a son of Helios? He has faded...."

Nikolaos stared wide eyed at the water, then quickly drank it. "Water, I've missed you so much!" He said. Then he heard the camper ask why he was here. "F-faded?" He asked, panicing. "He's gone? No, that's not possible!" Nikolaos yelled. He tried to run. "I hate you, you vile maze!" He screamed. "Its playing tricks with me!" He said, hyperventalating. He started to shake as tears rolled down his face. "I'm still in! I'm trapped!"

"Your not trapped," Zexion tried to soothe the frantic Demigod, holding the weak half-blood down, "Your free." He then noticed him begining to hypervenentalate. The son of Morpeous, god of sleep and dreams, placed a hand on the boy's forhead, willing him to sleep and rest, and to realize he is really free from the Labrinth.

Nikolaos' thrashing slowed down as his eyes grew heavy. "Dam maze..." He cursed, breathing returning to normal. The trees above him blended into a solid green color. "Woah...zzz" Nikolaos trailed off, drifting to sleep.
Ooc: When should he wake up?

"Hmph," Zexion smirked. Good thing he was a good guy. He took his daggers and the ointment along with the bandages to Nikolaos's injured leg. He used the dagger and his hands to clean the wound, and the ointment to spread along the cuts. He then wrapped the bangages around his leg, and stuck a stick in there to help keep it straight. He moved off, pulling out some duct tape as well. He pulled the boy on his back after taping his hands together, then he tapped his legs together, careful of the injury. He loosened his powers on the Demigod.
OOC: Now is fine

Nikolaos' eyes began to focus as he slowly woke up. "What just happened?" He murmered. He tried to push himself up with his hands, but found that his arms and legs were bound. He looked at his wrists and saw the silver tape. "What is this?" He asked angerly. "What are these silver ropes?" Nikolaos tried to catch the tape on fire, but wasn't fully awake, and couldn't concentrate hard enough.

Zexion put his hands on Nickolaos's shoulders to hold him down. "Don't struggle," he said, "You'll reopen the wounds. It's called duct tape. It's not rope. Where are you from?" He got off and got more water. "Do you want some?"

Nikolaos calmed when Zexion touched him. "I come from a small village by Mykenae." He said, taking the water in his bound hands. "Can you tell me about the maze?" He asked, as the tape binding him started to smoke.
Ooc: Mykenae is an ancient Greek city that is now an archeologial site (Super nerd)

"Where is that?" Zexion asked then. He had heard of it before, but never found out where it was. Then he answered his next question. "The Labrinth is streached all under the United States, or America. It's desighned to confuse and hurt the people within, most don't make it out alive. You better be lucky your exit was here."
OOC: Duct tape isn't flammable

Nikolaos stopped trying to burn the tape and thought about the location of Mykenae. "Umm... It's by Argos, I think." He said, concentrating. "Its been so long, it's hard to remember!" Nikolaos listened to Zexion talk about the Labyrinth. "I guess I'm lucky my exit was anywhere if nearly everyone dies! What's America?" He asked.
Ooc: Oops

"What year is it?" Zexion asked, point blank. He didn't respond to the half-blood, and his eyes grew hard. Something wasn't right about him. This was odd.

Nikolaos took a sip of water as he thought about the date today. He eventually shook his head and set the water down. "I don't know!" He exclaimed. "I was in that hellhole for so long, I lost tract of time. It couldn't be more than 4 or 5 years though. It hasn't been very long, I would have died. I'm lucky to be alive now." He picked up the bottle again and drank the rest of the bottle.

"Four or five years..." Zexion leaned back, a certain, odd look in his eyes. Perhaps simpathy? Helios; Labrynth; four or five.... years? The god of the sun....faded.... thousands of years ago. A minute passed before the son of Morpheous met his yes to the son of the faded god. "Your father.... Helios..." he said, his voice barly a whispher, "faded.... Thousands of years ago.... Trapped in the Labrynth.... Time passes...." His steely eyes did show simpathy, then, they seems to say "Sorry", but they also warned him that he would put up with any rough behavior. He's delt with so many people who are overcome with grief, or fight. He was ready fro anything.

Nikolaos stared at Zexion, not believing what he was hearing. After what seemed like for ever he finally took a deep breath. "You LIAR!" He yelled, lunging for his sword, but the duck tape stopped him, as did the explosion of pain in his leg. "Take this 'tape' off, so I can kill you!" He snarled, fire in his eyes.

"No," Zexion said flatly, his eyes hardening, using his abilities to make the orphan tired, but not sleep. "You can't kill me," he said after a moment, "Not if I'm an illusion." He could make an illusion of himself, unlike all other kid's of Morpeous, but it would cause a huge headache, and tire him.

A wave of fatigue washed over Nikolaos and he collapsed onto the ground. "Not again!" He mumbled. "Okay, let's say you are right. Then what happens to me?" He asked, trying to reach for his sword so that he could free himself from the duct tape.

"You live, obviously," Zexion replied quietly, putting his hand on Nikolaos's arm, "And I'm no illusion, though I can be. Your father has faded, but you still live. You have messed with time, in the Labrinth. You can't go back, or you risk changing the whole future, not that you probably could go back.Even if you wanted to."

Nikolaos sighed, confused. "Ok, just to sum it up. I have been trapped in a maze for thousands of years, I can't go back in time, my dads dead, and I'm in some place called America." He twisted around and pulled the sword towards him. "Anything else?" He asked, trying to cut the tape with the less-than-sharp sword.

"Do you know Chiron?" Zexion then asked, "He could help explain it for you. Or Dioysus, though he probably wouldn't care; he'd probably be less-than-happy to see another Demigod."

Nikolaos, about halfway through his makeshift handcuffs, smiled. "I don't know him, but Chiron sounds better than Dionysos." He said. He resumed sawing at the duct tape with his sword. "Dionysos doesn't sound like the 'Yay, more children' type of guy."

Zexion nodded. "Correct," he replied, "Want to go meet them?" He stood up and pulled Nikolaos's hands with his own. He took a part, not the part that was already partly cut, and ripped it. He would let him take the sticky tape off of his own hands. "You can get more water, there, too."

Nikolaos nodded as he peeled the tape from his wrists, then bend down and unraveled the tape around his legs. He looted around until he found a fairly thick branch lying on the ground. He limped over and picked it up. He closed his eyes and the leaves and twigs burned off. He opened his eyes and smiled; he now had a cane. He walked over to his broken sword and picked it up. "Ok, let's go, I guess." He said, wondering what was going to happen to him.

Zexion lead the way though the forest. "Remember, if you run, your leg is hurt," the blue/grey/silver hair boy began, not facing him, "And I won't hesitate to cut up your other leg and drag you to the Big House." He began walking, silently, so he could hear if Nikolaos was following or not.

Nikolaol followed Zexion.. "Lovely!" He exclaimed sarcasticly. They walked for a awhile until Nikolaos spoke up. "Say, um... Sorry about earlier. I was scared..." He muttered, limping along.

They had walked silently untill Nikolaos had spoken up. Zexion simply shrugged in reply. "It's ok," he said, remembering his own past, "I understand." He wasn't even born with the name Zexion. Neither was Axel or Demyx, with their respective names. They had all undergone the same sort of thing. They had all been scared. But they stayed together. He understood.

Nikolaos smiled as he followed Zexion. He started creating balls of fire infront of him, something his did to entertain himself. "Wait, my dad was the sun... Did the sun dissapear with him?" He asked, making the orbs fly around his body, careful nit to start a real fire.

Zexion shook his head. "No," he answered breifly.
