Even when leaving, he refused to offer his hand, but when he did on getting on the chariot, I happily obliged.

Not.

This brought a frown to the otherwise void face, and he sported it almost halfway back home.

"Is there where I will go after I finish treating you?" I looked back to where my memories will no longer be mine to remember.

The flames of ember danced with amusement. "And why would you go there." Was his short answer, leaving me in a fearful smile.

Is it really as I feared what it is that I had done? I hadn't given much thought while breaking my cousin's nose nor his curses. My mouth hung open.

The misuse of power on the weak. That must be it.

"Is there really no way? I am dead and now I...."

He almost seemed to have wanted to laugh. "You are not dead mortal." The matter of fact tone made it harder to believe.

"What?" The question was a weak murmur. But as I drew near to hyperventilation I could no longer seem as calm.

"What?!!!?"

"Your soul and your body haven't parted." The words were uttered slowly with careful calm as if to prevent the breaking of the fragile mind of a child.

But I was lost, like in those never-ending corridors. "What about the fall? The prison I woke up in?"

"You were a creature of unknown origin and living, the guards only followed protocol in keeping in prison till you gained consciousness."

Creature? Did he just call a girl a creature?

Ignoring my accusing eyes he continued. "The well was a gateway used by Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, and was left forgotten for centuries. The only other to know of its existence was the High Priest of the Temple built to guard it, even he was never given access and neither did he dare."

"Is there really a curse cast over the place?"

"No, it was only a tale woven by the inhabitants of the village which existed close to the temple." He looked like he was remembering an incident of the past.

"Why isn't it sealed, people, may find it," I commented, forgetting about the revenge I ought to extract for hiding the fact that I was alive from me.

His slit pupils focused on me, the amber in them growing darker and divider and ones again I found myself to be the recipient of the rage and coldness that brew behind them.

To my luck, it quickly went away and his usual indifference replaced it as he went his way to embarrass me. "People rarely go into those parts of the forest."

I noticed the cunning, evil like light flashing in his eyes. "But I believe normal people do not jump into wells or fall asleep in other's bed. Or neither tries to undress someone without their permission nor be impolite enough to ignore an offered hand."

Every word struck home, leaving bloody holes in my self-esteem.

I did not try to undress him....without his consent! I felt my cheeks warming up to display my embarrassment in a shade of red.

It was practicality and logic were the ones who stopped me from punching him. Managing to cross my hands and turned away trying concentrate on the sense of happiness of realizing that I was alive.

The moment the chariot grazed the ground at the palace gates, a soldier rushed forward bowing deeply before engaging in a conversation with Hades who was already off.

I picked up the reins not wanting to get off just yet. The moment I held it in my hand and made plans to ride off into the blazing sun, Hades' voice startled me.

"Get down." Seems like he saw through my plan and I obliged without a word of protest.

I bid goodbye to the glories of Hell' steeds.

As I followed him in, a suspicion of sorts urged me to hold his hand and my brows furrowed with concern.

"How did the fever get back up like this? You said that the light in paradise doesn't affect you. Then how?" I asked stretching my hand to his forehead.

Through hooded eyes, he looked down at me. "Being a God my presence isn't restricted to this body. In a way, my soul spreads everywhere in the Underworld and worlds beyond it and I cannot remain ideal."

My legs tapped uncontrollably with impatience and frustration.

"Okay you are a King and have things to do, but that doesn't mean that you can cross out your health from your 'to take care of' list. You should be thankful that I made a little more of the medicine."

Now, where in this hell did I get the confidence to scold him? Maybe he noticed my fear of being turned into a roasted duck for pictured me as if like I just did.

For a long slender finger tapped my forehead and the stagnant lips stretched into a soft smile.

"I believe you would like to leave. I will make the arrangements." He said before turning swiftly to disappear into the crowd of awaiting soldiers.

It was only a few seconds later that I recovered and noticed the awful amount of people who had gathered. There were many who looked out of place and I clearly saw a maid try to hide her spatula dripping fresh dough.

How did they get here so fast? Seems like word travel faster here than a rumor in high school.

"Yu," I called out to the black haired guard, someone I was literally scarred from our meeting. His lean muscular figure walked over and his eyes searched for the small bump of my forehead left after my accidental detour into his armor.

"It's fine now." My hand reflexively touched the stop which was no longer as visible and painful.

He closed his mouth killing the question with it. "Can you help me find Will because Hades seems to have abounded me." I motioned to where the lonely God was last seen.

"I will help you" His phoenix eyes turned crescent as he smiled and one simple motion of his hand made the rest of the curious onlookers leave.

"This way Lady Elizabeth."

The honorifics made my face crunch involuntarily, but he had stuck to using it even when I had said otherwise.

"So did you have your lunch, Honorable and renowned Lieutenant general Yu of the army of the Underworld?" I smiled in triumph watching his expression change. "Yeah, I know who are Honorable and renowned Lieutenant general Yu of the army of the Underworld."

"Lady Elizabeth you do not have to recognize me by my tile." He sincerely said.

I shook my head, disagreeing. "No Honorable and renowned Lieutenant-general of the army of the Underworld, I will. Not as long as you call me Lady Elizabeth." The phoenix eyes were given a fright.

"I am afraid I cannot do that, you are our Lord's Doctor..." Before he could add Lady Elizabeth I interjected. "Then I am sorry Honorable and renowned.."

"Elizabeth."

"Huh?" I arched an eyebrow.

"Elizabeth." It was a plead.

We found Will within a small time span for it turned out that he was searching for me. Without giving it another thought I hugged him, and after a startled moment of inactiveness, he hugged me back with twice the strength.

"I heard that you even made him smile." He patted my shoulder like a proud parent when he pulled back.

"Yeah, with my life on the line." I pointed out. "Hey, why didn't you tell me that I was alive?" I asked with a sparingly sweet smile.

He raised his hands in defense. "I didn't know that you thought that you were dead." And in an attempt to change the subject, he pointed at Yu, who had quietly excused himself. "Why did he look so scared?"

"He got to know me." Was the only explanation I provided.

Will walked with me as I said my goodbyes. The cooks were kind enough to prepare their special coffee. Every now and then I asked around for Hades, but none knew of his whereabouts.

I concluded that he was busy and that I had to leave without a word of farewell when one of the guards informed me that the means of transport was prepared. It was time for me to leave.

With Will's help, I got the required items to make the medicine again and left it in a basket by his bed. The hot pink bow tied to it was Will's idea.

The charming friend of the God of the Underworld held onto my hand tightly all along the way and my heart bugged me to ask him if he was upset with me leaving. I knew I was.

This gentle warrior made it harder to leave; his kind blue orbs that evoked a sense of comfort would be missed most. His face morphed to form a smile before pushing open the reveal my awaiting ride.

My eyes immediately narrowed turning its ice-cold gazes to Will, accusation and the murder intent clear behind them. But Will had the gut to appear innocent, pretending to have not known the fact that it was the Lord of the Underworld who was my assigned driver.

"You should be resting."

Will found it to be the right time to present forward his excuse in a rushed whisper. "You would have asked for a new driver if you knew it was him."

Following immediately after was a set of domineering blank words."Little girl, I am a God, I can do whatever I please."

Knowing there was no use in waging a war of argument I helped myself into his chariot, a pout taking form as I did. Coming up the sides of the magnificent chariot, Will, found it necessary to ruffle my hair, but this I decided to go on the offensive and messed up his platinum locks into small sand dunes.

"Hey!" It was his pleas that were heard this time around. I grinned in true happiness. "Now you feel me."

He laughed and when it died down he looked at Hades, words in silence passed through his eyes. Turning back to meet my eyes, he said. "I will miss you." Painfully they felt as they were spoken with formality and politeness.

I knew that I held no importance in his world and that I must have been only one of the hundreds who he meets and forgets each day.

Trying to keep the hurt away, I used a tone of coolness and calm. "Me too." I do not know whether my true feeling passed through as he smiled, never finding it too late to tease. "Stay evil, kitten." I smiled the smile of a perfect poster child as the chariot went into motion.

It seemed I could not overcome the excitement each time the magnificent black beasts took off. Even when the horses slowed the chariot did not fall under the force of gravity but remained levitating.

We flew across the breathtaking lands of the Underworld to reach a cave well hidden under the curtain of creepers. Upon entering, the world went dark, only to be lit up by the ancient torches at each of the carved walls.

We progressed forward till we were directly below a circular film of water. Indulged in curiosity, I was startled by the sudden command of a voice of power and authority. "Hold on."

I vaguely registered the sight of the horses flying upwards, their long tails tangling with the reins as a pair of strong hands pulled me forward and against a warm chest.

Moments later, the chariot followed behind vertically from the ground. I had the urge to scream from where my head looked over his shoulder at the distant growing ground.

I obediently executed his order and wrapped my arms around him and found his arms that held me to be my tragic heroes, but my footing was greatly-off-balance. I felt like I was laying on a bed with a large hole below my knees.

The strangest thing was my heart that beat at the speed of fifty miles per hour and I prayed that he did not hear it. I tried to calm down by reminiscing on the fact that I only reached up to his collarbones.

My unbound shoulder-length hair blew into my mouth when I asked. "Why are there no seatbelts?" I regretted opening my mouth when one of his hands let go to ruffle my hair.

It was out of reflex, and maybe the haziness caused due to shock that I ended up punching him in the stomach.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Did I just punch a god? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I blame Will for this outcome.

"You do get annoyed by that." My face which had ironically hidden in the clothes of the same person it was hiding from, peaked out, on hearing his remark.

I paged in shock of what I saw, so close to my widen eyes. Hades was smiling. There was no crease below the eyes, no movement of the cheeks, only a faint curve to the lips and the top row of aligned teeth showing, but on this face it made me wonder whether I was vaporized.

From under his messy hair peeked eyes of hazel that shown like sunlight on polished stones. And within such close proximity, I finally noticed the blue within the ambers which rimmed the inner edges of his eyes.

Infinite streaks of Deep sea blue lining his pupils.

Straining my eyes elsewhere, I managed to reply. "It does annoy me." But my eyes were drawn back to his when he said.

"I thank you, Elia Rain Airlea "

How...how did he know my name? Have I told him my name and if so why call me Elia instead of Elizabeth?

The entrance of the well grew closer and I missed the movements of hands that took hold of my face. "When it is time for you to be judged, show this King a life worth pride." My legs were already on solid-ground and his hands left me to the cold air.

Giving me only a cursory glimpse of his haunting smile, he faded away like a forgotten dream I woke up to.

Is this the end?

    I circled the well, my hands running through my hair as I did. I stretched to peak in, finding the evermoving water reflect the light.Here goes nothing. With two fingers pinching the bridge of my nose, I jumped in, my internal voice screaming. "Cannonball.""At least ask for permission." A guard complained after I succeeded in infiltrating the palace. I would like to believe that I did so by my unparallel set of skills, but if it weren't for most of the guards turning a blind eye, I doubt whether I would have been able to go past the gates.To suit the scenario, I chose an all-black outfit and tried to blend into the shadows as I advanced further into the palace, but I knew Hades would see me coming.It was guard1 and guard2 at the doors of Hades' bedchamber who gave me the stinkiest of skink eyes.

    "Didn't Hades kidnap his wife?" I had a feeling that my trust towards Wikipedia was going to tragically change."That is far from the truth." He shook his head, and with a patronizing smile pinched my nose. "Judging from your expression, No, Hades didn't get kidnapped."He soon laughed imagining the scenario as I did."Then? Is it confidential? If it is, you don't have to tell me." He looked at me pointedly, his brows forming crescent moons. "That was the formality part. If you don't tell me you would have to deal with puppy faces."From his replying smile, I somehow felt that I looked like three-year-old ready to hear her bedtime sorry. By the way, I like my milk with cookies."Let's sit somewhere shall we?"I nodded happily and skipped up the stairs that Will lead me by to a balcony. The moment we came through the doors, winter-like wind cocooned us. But the chills of the cold breezes were forgotten by the view of the river it opened to.The river was like a sleeping cobra. It laid

    Olivia had rushed over but did not question the sudden summon or my tear-stained face. By the time Will was back, I had already suffered internal injuries laughing at her "What the hell?" jokes.When being informed at the arrangement of transport, Olivia hugged me goodbye."Do you think Hades will let me come back here, I am willing to apologize a hundred times." Will suddenly stopped walking and made me face him by my shoulders."You are misunderstanding, Hades isn't angry at you, get it into your head, or should I go round asking for a driller to get it past your thick skull."I shook my head, trying to believe him as I did. "Hades, he's complicated, you know being an unfeeling, ancient...""Stone." I finished when he searched for an alternative to God. "Exactly, I am going to keep that." He grinned, but his face sank when the floor we stood on shook, vibrations brought crack to the walls and the lights and lamp shook violently flickering.At first, my brain was unable to make sense

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself amongst the giants whose roots hugged the earth, and the streams and birds who sung a never-ending song. The richness of the life that dwelled in this forest made me feel at ease, enough to make me forget the knife that was held to my throat when I subconsciously stepped forward."I don't think so kid," Greene whispered into my ear.Now's my chance.I stopped thrashing and pretended to have fainted which made him support my weight. And am no feather.I whipped my head back taking advantage of his startled self and following the sickening sound of bones cracking, his iron-grip loosened.

    "Aedees." Cold amber orbs locked with mine, They softened before regaining their double-edged sharpness.Darkness hung over him like a tailored made cloak as storm clouds blocked away the sun's light. The still rational part of my brain warned me that I wasn't the one going to fall prey to his fit of range when I realized Greene's hand was still around my neck frozen.From a certain angle, it would seem like he was chocking me.I drew back, but it was too late, Greene was no longer there. Listening to the screams, I turned back to see him suspended up in the air while clawing at the invisible hands crushing his windpipes. Judging from the height he was raised to, I couldn't bring him down even on my toes.So I wobbled towards Hades who didn't seem to able to hear me. And as the power that he emitted threw me down each time I got up, I knew he was beyond the planes of rationality. In the last effort, I lunged forward and held on by his clothes and I tugged at then as I shouted his nam

With willful concentration she checked my pulse, evidently losing count twice or thrice.Completing the examination with a triumph smile her hands reached up to my neck, obviously not in its best state when her childlike face morphed with concern.I obliged to turn my neck to the side when she motioned me to do so and was yelled into stopping when I winced. I snuffled my chuckles while she decided whether to ask me to turn it back or just let it remain the same, facing away.Taking pity, I turned my face back to her keeping the pain from revealing through my expression.

    My eyes flew open when I distinctly heard Olivia's screech. Blinking away the dizziness, I waved to find her in a startled trance as he realized who exactly was carrying me. I pushed back from the person's chest making him tighten his grip."Hades?" Tilting my head I tried to recollect the past incidents, but my head pounded as if it had a heart of its own.His fingers draped around the nape of my neck and lead me to rest on his shoulder.

It seemed the best option, but I remembered Olivia was round.As I searched for her in the dimly lit halls, I felt fear surge forth by instincts when he an amber-eyed predator whispered to my ears.

    "Father!" "What do you think you are doing Zeus?" The chair scraps back in a rush as Izumi is up on his feet."What?" Seemingly nonchalant Zeus looks around in confusion, very visibly unused to such reaction.Frozen over in shock, I could still register how the speakers kept glancing at me and how the silent King never lifted his gaze away."What do you mean by what?" Will' tone is neither calm nor loud and I realize that I have never once seen him worked up as much."You stepped out of line." Izumi steals the words right off my tongue but none of us has the chance to see how it ends as a strange tune fills the dinning. "Wait" Zeus gives each of us a look of apology and fish out a phone from his pocket.Holding it to his ear he nods twice and cuts the call soon after."You have a phone?" I finally speak out of curiosity. "Yeah but it's a lot different from your mundane phones." He answers carefully t

    Without sparing any of us a glance Hades takes his seat at the head.And soon the large room is flooded with butlers and maids who deliver us enough food to feed twenty or so.When they scurry back out I take my seat but not without jabbing Zeus's thigh under the table with the fork I had not surrendered. For a while I searched for the proper position for placing my weapons and during that time I noticed that it wasn't only me who keenly observed Hades for a sign of a reaction. But all we got was nothing. And when I finally figured out where to place them one went crooked and the other fell right off the table, a little too far from where I sat.It was as it the forks had grown wings, nasty naughty wings.So once again I got off from my high chair to pick it up. But as I bend I feel something soft and rather ticklish brush past my hair.By the time I realized what exactly happened Hades had already gracefully

    I find myself shrinking under those amber eyes which settled upon mine after a brief inspection of his beloved garden."I am not responsible." I blurt out feeling oddly guilty. His lips mould to speak and probably mock but I beat him to it declaring.  "Am a nature lover you see I wouldn't do such a thing and I am not a fan of pointing fingers."Hades seemed to want to comment but I cut in raising my hand."But.""As the situation calls for it, it was your brother and...and another guy.""And I don't think, any one of the two can be held responsible individually for they are equally to blame and should be brought to justice and be punished for the destruction of this very garden.""That' my conclusion your honour.

    "Take your hands off of her!" Zeus and I instantly freeze by the blade like hostility. Never once have seen such an expression upon his face, never such rage as he advances forward while we stand rooted in lasting shock."Why? Because you can't?" Zeus is the first to regain but provocatively chides and maybe he had already foreseen the consequences for the shield was up even before the attack was decided. An orb of lightening engulfed the King of Olympus protecting him from the invisible dangers which nudged at the force field with terrifying might that the ground around it caved and the air froze to a foggy mist.But standing only centimetres away, I felt I was a world apart without even a cold breeze blowing past my face."It's been a long time, Death." Zeus nonchalantly says."Not long enough Lord Zeus." And suddenly the honorific was a mean word rolling off his tongue."And I am the magnificent Elizabeth." I mutter

    In the lingering moments as we stared at the other, it was debatable who could be considered the most shocked.Years have passed by since I met those haunting eyes and my mind is pulled back to the past, into the vivid memories of a grey eyed boy with mischief hiding behind every smile.There was no way I could ever not recognise that boy, who always stood so close to me till the day he was too far for me to reach.There were thousands of questions I wanted to carve in wood and smash in his face but plagued in worry, I could only ask."Are you dead?" But long before I could roll out the last word he had moved. His steps turning into impatient strides as he crossed the crystal waters like it were solid ground. But it seemed he was unable to answer for he only stared, his eyes fearful and brows furrowed in alarm. Enough for me to turn back to confirm whether there was a monster standing behind.Suddenly half way past, he seem

    My consciousness hits the moment there's no longer a bed to roll over. And only god knows how I managed to even roll to edge of such a large bed.Strategically balancing myself in the nick of time, I save myself from instant pain and snuggle back into the silky sheets.But am unable to fall back asleep as my brows furrow in thought. Large bed? Silk sheets? With my eyes now open wide, the frame of a canopy bed focuses into view, and all my doubts come true.How can this be? I don't remember entering this room, was what I thought. But my brain as if offended by my memory being questioned gives me a presentation on the events of the previous night.Something cold and mettalic graze my cheek bringing me back from the realm of sleep. I shift my head against the warm chest to find a familiar gold-medallion. Peeking up my eyes seek the amber orbs of the King of the Underworld but they were set on the path ahead. He cradled me like a baby and unlike the expected discomfort, i felt rather

    Adorned in ancient greek armour, hundreds of palace guards lined the stadium sized hall on each side.Zeus had fallen silent as Will leads us along the side of the great hall. I look past my shoulder at the humongous door of cold metal with the width of two buses and height of pine which opens without a creek to let a single soul enter at a time.Each time it opens my eyes strain to focus on the tens of thousands gathered at its entrance. A woman in her late twenties steps through the door and am shocked by her appearance. Dressed in a simple off-white dress, her body was transparent in a manner that one could make out her features while still seeing through.After taking notice of my dazed eyes Will took it to himself to lead me. A few seconds later he tugged at my hand while I stood rooted in spot with my mouth agape.Suddenly the door, the delarted and the guards were no longer an domineering presence.Cold, hard glacial stairs lead up to the Golden throne of the Underworld.

    "Are we there yet? Zeus whined evidently in disagreement with the humane motion of walking."Only a little more okay." I smile in encouragement knowing full well that my plans would fail if he were to teleport us. When upon reaching the scared grounds of the deserted temple I exclaimed under his narrowed gaze. "Ah I am so thirty." I wipe the sweat from my forehead and rummage through the contents in the small sling bag I took along. "You have got to be kidding me." I facepalm."What is it?" He asks, his stormy orbs letting down their guard. "I forgot my bottle."He took little of my misery and simply suggested. "I can make it rain.""No!"He looks down at me wide eyed and I realise the need to explain my outburst. "I will get soaked. So no rain.""Then I will.."I held up my hand. "Don't.
