#shadowtravel

“We’ll have to shadow-travel,” Hazel said.

Nico winced. “Hazel, I can barely manage that with only myself. With seven more people—”

“I’ll help you.” She tried to sound confident. She’d never shadow-traveled before, had no idea if she could; but after working with the Mist, altering the Labyrinth—she had to believe it was possible.

An entire section of tiles peeled loose from the ceiling.

“Everyone, grab hands!” Nico yelled.

They made a hasty circle. Hazel envisioned the Greek countryside above them. The cavern collapsed, and she felt herself dissolving into shadow.

Annabeth: Open the door slowly, step in.

Piper: Charmspeak the door open

Nico: Shadowtravel in.

Frank: Become an ant and sneak in.

Hazel: Use mist to pretend the door is still closed, then walk on.

Jason: Fly and crash into the window.

Percy: Make the toliet explode and then walk in.
