Up A Creek Without A Paddle

I Should've listened to Eris…

A rather lost looking figure continued to meander about the endless tunnels of the labyrinth as he stared about with a puzzled expression. “I don’t think this is the way home…” His voice softly commented on the situation with a hint of worry as he continued to drift about without any real sense of direction.

“I shouldn't have gone to Zeus’ party… I didn’t want to.” The negative thoughts continued to flow as a deepening sense of despair began to well within the titan due to his own shortcomings. It was a bad habit Briareus had developed, especially once things started to go astray. Shoot, the man could already consider himself extremely lucky for not stumbling across any monsters yet… but more pressing thoughts had occupied his mind.

His footsteps slowly grinding to a halt, the god crouched down and leaned against a wall deep within the first floor of dungeon. “I wish Apple was here… she’d know the way.” A heavy sigh sounded as he propped his head atop his knees and rested for a moment or two. Perhaps after clearing his mind, the way out would make itself known?

Despite clearing his mind and taking the time to think things through, no answers had found their way to the isolated god. Growing all the more frustrated at his inability, the titan paused with contemplation as a certain, forbidden solution had come to mind. “Why can’t I just use a little bit of power to escape?...” Though clearly not an acceptable approach, the thought continued to encroach on the deity’s mind, swarming it like ants upon sugar.

“Just a little bit wouldn’t hurt… right? Nobody would find out...” The thoughts continued to fester as miniature voices continued to echo within the man’s head, arguing the pros and cons. It was then that a dangerous decision had been made. Staring about once or twice to ensure the surroundings were clear, he’d begin to channel a small bit of power in order to ascertain the way out.

The floor began to abruptly quake however as even the tiniest sliver of divinity was called upon. Immediately halting his transgressions against the dungeon, he’d watch the earth upturn with wide eyes of dismay. “Oh god… I should have listened to Eris.” With each second passing, a hideous amorphous creature of the shadow began to manifest before his very eyes.
With little time to spare, the titan began sprinting with all his shackled might towards what he had discerned as the exit. “I’ve got to warn the others… got to tell Zeus…”
