‘ hc ‘ + chris and the labyrinth
hc + word = me word vomiting || accepting
okay, so some of this stuff may have already been touched up on, but, i’m going to touch everything and put it in one place. because i have a lot of feelings about chris & the fucking labyrinth. here we go;
chris was a very loyal follower of kronos, of luke. he is loyal to those he cares about, and who care about him and that is what kronos offered up, a better life then going unclaimed in the hermes cabin, and luke helped voice this to chris, and chris already trusted luke, so it wasn’t hard for him to follow luke. he had been one of the few people to actually offer himself up to go into the labyrinth. and was happy when luke agreed.
he was a solo searcher. at first, the maze seemed okay. everything was going fine, but, then of course it didn’t. he started to lose his footing, lose where he was going, which is actually a new thing for him. there was a room where he had came across another scouter, named mary. they had to perform a task, a deadly task by the monster that was lurking in the room so that they could get pass. they managed to defeat the monster. and they worked together for a bit, until, their third room, where it was a sphinx, and mary… happened to be a daughter of athena who never mad it to camp. so much like her sister, took the stand against the quiz.
mary was too stubborn, and chris had to watch as the sphinx tore mary apart right in front of him. this was his trigger, for the underlying mental illness that was in him. he started to feel very lost, not knowing where he was anymore. feeling lost was a foreign feeling for chris. he then stumbled upon the arena, and was forced to watch a fight, and forced to participate if he wanted to leave the arena. he had killed a fellow demigod from the ship.
his mind, it couldn’t take all of this happening within a few months above ground, days underground. he started to talk to himself, to calm himself down. there were times, where he swore he saw mary again, and saw his mother. but.. they were dead. he was losing his mind, he needed out of the labyrinth, he didn’t find an entrance. and sat himself down in an empty hall. letting the maze take over him, he was sinking into a depressive episode and was piled on with a bout of madness. he doesn’t even know how much time had went by before someone got him out of there. all he does remember is waking up at camp with clarisse by his side, and mr d walking out of the room.
