章 70: Chapter 70
They three got off at their stop, which was at the very edge of the city and Percy quickly pulled up a map and lead the group away from the city.
"Ah Percy I think you might be going to wrong way," Luke said pointing back at city, "the train station is that way."
"Remember the errand we need to do?" Luke nodded while Grover looked confused, "well it's near here and after that only are we going to the Underworld."
"I'm all for taking our time to reach the Underworld Percy," Grover said, "but what exactly are we doing?"
"Have you ever heard of the chains of Hephaestus?" Percy called as he took a left that lead to a road leading into the woods and further away from civilization.
"Ah...they were chain made by Hephaestus?" Luke guessed.
"Right. Anyway when Hephaestus stuck his mom, Hera, on her throne for hundred's of years to get back at her for kicking him off Olympus he used these chains."
"Wait I thought it was the throne that fixed her to the spot and took her powers," Grover said as the group walked further into the woods and quickly came to a stream. They then began walking up stream.
"You're half right. The chair did hold Her in place for all that time, but the chains were the ones that stopped her from using her powers. Basically they were the cuffs why the chair was the jail."
"So we are out here," Luke then swatted a fly, "to try and find these chains?"
"Yup."
"Percy that was thousands of years ago!" Grover cried out, "heck they probably would have been lost to the sands of time!"
"Grover if you had a chain that could bloke a God's power would you ever let it get out of your sight?"
Grover looked surprised and then began to think while Luke caught on, "so you think Hephaestus still has it?"
Percy nodded, " like Grover said it's been hundreds of years so he might have just thrown it into one of his old forges for safe keeping."
"But Percy he is the god of forges he might have a forge in every city."
"True but after I braided a couple of Hephaestus kids with a few drachma's they mentioned one of their dad's favorite storage places was his forge outside of Boston," Percy then stopped as he came face to face with a rock wall under which the stream came out off. On the surface of the rock wall was a hammer carved into the stone.
"I-is that-"
"The entrance to the storage room of Hephaestus? Yes, yes it is," Percy then pressed the hammer and the symbol started to glow red. The rock wall broke apart in the center leaving a large opening for Percy and the others, "you guy's coming in or what?"
Grover gulped and looked afraid, as always, while Luke smiled nodding his head. The trio entered the forge and as soon as Percy set foot inside this happened;
Ping!
You have entered the dungeon: Forge of Hephaestus- Boston edition,
Recommended level 12
Do you still wish to enter;
YES/NO?
Percy quickly pressed yes and continued forward. Inside was a long corridor with pipes and the sort lining the wall with steam leaking in the corners, blocking their view. Percy waved his hands forward, trying to push the steam away, if only he could move it all back…..wait. Steam is water and so could he do that actually control it?
Percy put his hand up, "wait guys I want to try something here," Grover and Luke stopped and waited for Percy to move. Percy then channeled mana out of his hands and tried to grab hold of the mist surrounding them. It was a strange feeling as his mana spread out like a spider's web and circled around the mist. Percy then felt something tug in the back of his stomach, so he concentrated on that feeling and he pulled.
The steam in front of them then split away and went up against the sides as the slowly condensed and fell down as water drops.
"Wow Percy I didn't know you could do that!" Grover exclaimed.
"Nowhere did I."
Ping!

Percy smiled at this and quickly closed the box. "So let's get a move on,," Percy said as the group began to walk again.
The deeper into the forge they went the hotter it got. Soon it was so hot that Percy started to sweat enough to fill buckets, but hey at least if a monster attacks Percy can use his sweat instead of water to fight them off.
Eventually the tunnel they were going through took a right turn and as soon as the took that turn the group was confronted by their first monster. It was a machine, because duh we were in a forge of Hephaestus of course the monster were all going to be bloody robots. The machine looked human with wheels for legs and golden blades attached to it's arms. It's face and body were marble with several symbols etched on it, which looked vaguely familiar.
Percy held up his hands and slowly took the group backwards away from the view of the monster. Once they were away from the bend in the tunnel Luke spoke up, "that must be a guardian for this place. Any ideas?"
Percy peaked a little from the side of the wall and observed the robot;

Percy sighed, it wouldn't be too much trouble. Sure it was crazy strong and pretty quick, but Percy had faced stronger foes than him. All he would have to do is summon Zed and….oh fuck!
