"Ew," Six said.

That was the word that broke the heavy silence in the whole room as Seven light his flashlight and pointed it to the head. Six made a disgusted face while looking down on Medusa's head, blood pouring out her neck while the snakes on her head slowly slithered and convulsed to death. Her body disappeared into monster dust and still, the head stayed.

"Uh, the body left why didn't the head?" Seven asked still holding the sword he just got from literally a stone hand, whoever who that person was Seven thanks him/her for holding out their sword.

"It's a spoil of war," Mono explained and Seven nodded, looking down at the head, "I'm gonna pick it up, we can use this right?" He asked and Mono nodded, "Yeah, the eyes still work, but you have to be careful or you'll accidentaly make yourself a statue. We need a sack or something to carry it with."

"I don't have a sack," Seven said while slowly poking the snakes with the tip of his sword, making sure that they were dead.

"Ugh, no. I don't wanna go anywhere with a dead stone snake lady's head," Six interjected while frowning down at the head.

"You are a Hecate child right? Do your magic and make a sack. It's not good to leave a chance behind," Mono said while pointing down at the head, "What if we meet a monster that all of us can't beat?" He pointed out while folding his arms.

"Okay fine, but the one who killed it carries it," Six said while urging all her power to create a sack. A cloth and rope plopped out of no where and plopped down on the floor with a clink. Seven turned the flashlight to see the contents, no sack.

"Well, sometimes my magic doesn't work well so wait for me to create a sack for that, uh, head," Six said as she picked up the contents on the floor, she wrapped the cloth around the head and tied up the ends of the cloth with a rope. She then handed it to Seven, "There, have fun carrying a dead head," she said.

"Okay," Seven mumbled, he let go of his sword and accepted the sack, slunging it over his shoulder. He was about to close his flashlight when it directed to Six's footprint, one giving off a bloody print. His eyes widened when he remembered back at the Cage Room, "You're bleeding," he pointed

Six lowered her arm and looked down to her feet, "Oh right- I think I'll be okay."

"Uh no, you also have a scratch on your neck," Mono pointed it out while rumming the inside pockets of his trenchcoat. Six sighed, "I'll be fine," she said.

"If you suddenly die from blood lost you're not, and also your blood would attract us attention. Probably the reason Medusa found you first," Mono said as he continued to rummage, Seven turned to him, "What are you looking for Mono?"

"Just... the..." Mono mumbled while he continued rummaging, "Here," he said then pulled out a tiny pack wrapped around a cloth. Six tilted her head to the pack in his hand, "What is that?"

"Ambrosia," Mono said as he unwrapped it, it was about the size of his hand and looked like a lemon bar. He carefully cut off a peice with his fingers and handed it to Six, "Eat it and you'll get healed quickly."

"Oh right," Six nodded while accepting the lemon bar - ambrosia - and slowly the scratch on her neck disappeared, she lifted her foot and saw the wound from the bar of the cage was gone too.

"Woah," Seven mouth hung agape, "How did that work?"

"Ambrosia is the food of the gods, Newbie. When a mortal eats an ambrosia they would burn up quickly and die. Since we are demigods, ambrosia can heal our wounds, but eating too much will burn us too," Mono explained and Seven frowned, "Quit calling me Newbie."

"Never," Mono said jokingly while wrapping up the ambrosia and storing it away in his pocket.

"How did you manage to steal ambrosia Mono? I know they are so hard to steal since they are heavily guarded," Six asked while Mono shrugged, "I have my ways."

"So," Seven said as he directed his flashlight to the door, "We should get out now right?"

Six nodded, "Yup, and don't forget the sword," she said while walking off and turning on her lighter, Mono following behind. Seven stowed away his flashlight and picked up the sword, then followed the two.

Six reached up to open the door, and they went out the Surveilance Eye Room and into another cold, dimly lit, and damp hall.

====================

.: Seven's P.o.V. :.
.: Third Person-ish :.

The sword was tiring to carry around.

That was the only thing on Seven's mind, the sword was tiring to carry around. Not the fact they might meet up some monsters, not that the Janitor could be anywhere, not that another Big Myth Monster like Medusa could show up and eat them.

It was how his sword was friking tiring to carry around.

Six walked on first with her lighter, lighting the way for them. When they entered the dark hallway, the sword Seven is carrying glowed like his flashlight and offered up light for them.

But it was so frikin tiring carrying it around.

It was a silent escapade, sometimes stopping when there was a shriek of empousai, caw of the griffins, bark of the hellhound, or the Janitor grumbling, cleaning and all that jazz. Aside from that, it was a silent and safe cruise.

That is bound to be jinxed. He wasn't told but Seven knew from his past escape adventures that when he says or think that everything is going splendid, the Janitor comes by and catches him. There is some cage, or he nearly dies from the monsters he accidentaly meet.

The ones handling destiny is the Three Fates right? So Seven is gonna thank them so much about this and gift them some nice snacks and yarn. (That was sarcasm)

His thoughts were cut off when he slammed straight to some crates, he shook his head dazed and looked up to see the other two climbing up to the planks above, since there was electric bars in the entrance of the room.

Six turned back and looked down on Seven, "Hey are you okay?" She asked from up above the crates. Seven blinked and rubbed his head, "Yeah I'm fine," he said, tossing the sack up and climbing the crates. Doing that again and again until he reached the planks where the two are waiting for him.

"Congrats, you've made it," Mono jokingly said before turning around and walking past the plank. Six chuckled a bit and smiled sheepishly at Seven, who just rolled his eyes and gestured to Six, "Ladies first," he said and Six chortled, walking past the planks next and Seven last.

On the other side was a vent and the three went in. Once again a cold and dark vent - what's new? The Maw is cold and dark - and on the other end of that one vent was a grille.

Six stretched out her arms and looked at the grille. Mono pushed it, the screws were a bit squeaky, you needed to push it very hard so you can open it up.

"How are we gonna go to the other side?" Seven asked and Six shrugged, "It's not that tight, but we need brute force to open it," she said and Mono perked up.

"Hey I got an idea, but you guys better back up," he said, Six and Seven looked at each other and nodded, slowly backing up from the grille and Mono.

"Farther more- yup there," Mono said as the two stopped with confusion on what he was about to do. "Mono what are you gonna do?" Six asked as Mono backed up a bit from the grille, "Brute force," he said before turning into a black bear and charging to the grille, slamming it with his two big paws.

The grille flew off like a toothpick and landed with a pang on the other side. Mono peeked out his head from the vent, turning left and right and scanning the area for any monsters before turning back to human form.

"Okay, coast is clear," Mono said as he hopped out the vent. The two just stared at him and he turned to them, "What? C'mon!" He said as Seven rose his eyebrows, "Well then, let's go," he said while heading out the vent and Six following behind.

In the other side of the room was a library. The bookshelves reached up to the ceiling, filled with countless of books. It seemed that wasn't all the books, since there was books on the floor towering over them, tilting in one side alarmingly that one push could make it fall off.

"Woah, when did the Janitor's library became bigger?" Seven pointed out while looking around. Mono shrugged, "Probably isn't his, let's get out of here" he said while walking off to the right, Seven and Six following behind.

Seven looked around while the smell of the musky dusty books wafted into his nostrils. He didn't like reading much, since he had quite a trouble reading any book at all. One of his friends was the true bookworm and would help him - even if it's not really going anywhere.

Seven frowned, his felt nostalgia remembering old friends back at the old Nursery. Did they miss him? Or did they thought he was now dead? Or were they dead now?

It was just wrong, so wrong to do this to children. Both mortal or demigod. The Lady is really just letting them off to their deaths, only for some fat grotesque pigs to drink up like water instead of meat.

They continued walking on, the Library seemed to go on forever as they turned and walked back when they reached a dead end. It was like some kind of maze, Seven thought as they continued their journey, the books over towering them and alarmingly swaying from side to side.

Suddenly Mono stopped and let a hand out to stop the other two from walking any farther, Seven bolted back to reality when Mono suddenly did that. He turned to him with an annoyed face while Six looked confused, "What is it Mono?"

"Do you hear that?" He asked while looking over to them and lowering his arm. Six shook her head, "No, what is it?"

Seven looked around and tried to focus on his surroundings, then he heard a huff and books being toppled. He jolted and turned to Mono, "What was that?"

Mono's face may be covered from his paperbag yet Seven could see him giving him a sarcastic face, "You think I know everything?" He asked sarcastically.

Seven shrugged, "Oh I don't know from your cocky attitude," he spat back sarcastically. Mono glared at him through the eye holes and Six sighed, "Boys," she said.

Seven raised his arms up in defeat, "What, have nothing to say? Perhaps I'm just sayin the truth," he said sassily as Mono only gasped.

Author: oH mY gOD sEvEn *wHeEzEs*

Seven 1, Mono 0.

"Boys," Six said more firmly, "Quit your ego raising and insults for just one minute? If you did hear something, aren't we supposed to be focus on that rather than on weak burns?" She said and Seven said, "Okay fine. What can possibly be in this maze like Library anyways-?" Seven trailed off while looking ahead of them.

Mono and Six turned to where Seven was looking. Mono gasped while Six covered her mouth from shock. The monster was like any other monster, was big and burly. He had a bull head and a torso of a man, his horns were pointed shiny and he only wore a wrinkly old loincloth. His red eyes bore into them while he huffed out from his nostrils.

The monster gruffed before running up to them.
