Summary
In the end, it’s simple. All it takes is one quick, clean swing of his sword and it’s over. The sarcophagus disintegrates, red-gold dust crumbling around him, seeping into the floor of the Labyrinth.
He runs as the room shakes in his former master’s impotent rage. The floor cracks beneath him, the walls tip forward, and the ceiling shakes, plaster raining down like ash. He breathes in a mouthful of that red dust, but he doesn’t have time to retch. He runs like he did when he was seven and his mom was reaching for him, all green-sick eyes and hissed poison, her hands twisting into claws, like he did when he was fourteen and the small weight of Annabeth in his arms was the only thing keeping him from looking back to where Thalia fell, like he did when he was seventeen and a dragon was looking to make a meal of him.
He makes it out of the room right before it collapses. Of course he does. Luke’s always been good at running.
[In which Kronos may be dead, but the revolution isn't.]
