As far as I could tell, they were identical. “Which way now?”Īnnabeth swept her flashlight beam over the archways of the eight tunnels. None of us could decide which way led back to camp. We each turned toward a different tunnel. “Um, which way did we come in?” Grover said nervously. We found ourselves in the middle of a circular chamber with eight tunnels leading out, and no idea how we’d gotten there. Unfortunately, as soon as she said that, the left wall disappeared. “If we keep one hand on the left wall and follow it,” she said, “we should be able to find our way out again by reversing course.” She had this idea that we should stick to the left wall. I thought I heard voices on the other side, but it may have been just the cold wind.Īnnabeth tried her best to guide us. I shined a light through one of the portholes out of curiosity, but I couldn’t see anything. Now it was round like a sewer, constructed of red brick with iron-barred portholes ever ten feet. The tunnel looked nothing like the one Annabeth, Percy, Andy and I had stumbled into before. We made it a hundred feet before we were hopelessly lost.
