"When fire is defeated it shall rise again, stronger than ever"
The music plays in harmony all around her as she smiles. Her eyes closed as she lies on the soft grass. The sun shining on top of her and joy in her body. She hums along with the music as she finds it so beautiful. "My love, come. Dinner has been served" A familiar voice of Lyell, her husband calls out to her with happiness ringing through his tone. Smiling even widen Arabella opens her electric blue eyes and sits up. The white gown she wears covering her body beautiful and flowers have been brought on top of her by the soft breeze.
Standing up and feeling the soft green grass under her feet she walks towards the farm house. The hours is surrounded by a grassy field and a forest nearby. Arabella and her husband live far away from the village for peace and quiet. Her seven months pregnant belly gives her nothing but joy as she makes her way inside. There her husband has set the table for the two of them and the food that smells and looks delicious she can't wait to try. "You have certainly outdone yourself, my love" She tells him. He helps her sit down, takes her chair back before she sits and then adjusts it for her.
"For you, I would do anything" He tells her with a smile that she kindly returns. "I love you" She says to him as he leans into a kiss and captures her lips against his. The kiss doesn't last long as he too sits down in front of her. The table is small a and can only fit the two of them but soon they shall have to get another one for a baby is on the way. "This little one has been kicking all day, of course missing his father like I have" Arabella says.
He cuts her a piece of the rich steak they're having, cooked by him of course. He smiles at her when he hands her the plate. "Our son is as smart as his mother, I do not doubt for a second that he can't wait to meet us" He says. Smiling at him, her electric blue eyes look with wonder into his hazel brown ones. "Believe me, our son will be much more like his father. A handsome and a strong man" She says and winks at him, almost flirting with him.
Lyell chuckles lightly at her. "My dear, aren't you a flatterer. Perhaps the bed shall get another turn" He whispers to her so the baby doesn't hear him. Arabella only giggles at him. "I cannot wait, my love" She says with her sneaky eyes going down his body that she knows does things to him. A smile makes it onto their faces and a hint of wickedness on his face appears. The two of them finish the food rather quickly before they've gone to their bedroom to do their intimacy that they've been craving for a long time.
Lucifer and Poseidon had fought a great deal in the throne room but at last Lucifer gave in as he had realized that many hours had passed and she was still asleep. It had been over thirteen hours and he has begun to worry for her as it might not be as normal as he thought it would be to sleep that much. At first he had blamed the fact that she has died twice and is gaining back the energy she lost, as she was a bit weak and the way that he saw her before was just a fraction of what she can really do.

However, he would never admit to his brother that he does worry for her now and the two of them walked up the stairs to their bedroom which he takes great pride in her sleeping there, shows the world that she belongs to him and only him. The beast inside him begging to tear his brother limp from limp for even thinking of her sleeping form. Women don't sleep in much clothing and her see-through white gown will not help him much, his only hope is that the covers are covering her body enough.
"Brother, will you calm down. I'm not rather fond of fire and it's getting hotter" Poseidon says as they are ascending up the stairs, Lucifer of course walking first as this is his castle and his world and his bed chambers and his Queen sleeping there. "Calming down is not something I'm good at, dear brother" Lucifer answers through his gritted teeth. The only reason he slowly begins to calm down is how he is nearing the presence of his love and being near his makes him calm and happy. Soon they are on top of the staircase and walk to the door that leads to the room where Arabella sleeps in.
"When we go in there, you will see she is soundly asleep and safe. Then you shall leave and not come back" Lucifer tells him and looking at his brother with wary eyes, telling him that he will not do anything else or there will be consequences that he would not like to find out. "Don't you believe it's rude to go into a Lady's room when she's asleep" Luna's voice comes from behind them, shocking them both but neither would admit it. Both of them turn around and Poseidon finally sets eyes on her after so long.
"Hello brother" She says as she smirks and her violet eyes glare at him and their other brother. "Luna" He greets and nods at her but doesn't say anything else even when he wants to. He knows what the fifteen years old girl did to his brothers and he would rather not fall prey to her, as it would ruin his handsome face which he would rather not. "She is in danger. You must see for yourself" Poseidon then speaks, trying to put his family issues behind and focusing on the problem at hand.
The air around them is intense and three of the most powerful people in the world are standing together and the hate between them is extraordinary. There is only one person who stands in between their arguing. A girl the've all formed a connection with and a girl they would rather die than watch as she suffers. She means everything to them and protecting her is their first priority. Lucifer sighs before he opens the door of heir bedchambers and they all look inside of it with interest and pray that the girl is unharmed in there.
The room is exactly like it was when Lucifer left it, not a single object his been removed or even moved. On the bed, Arabella softly sleeps, her chest going up and down, telling all that she's breathing. "See brother, she's safe and she's just asleep. Her body needs rest. Now, I'd leave this room if I were you before I will show anger" Lucifer speaks. All their eyes are on the sleeping girl who he has fallen deeply in love with and on the outside it doesn't look like she's in any danger but how wrong he is on that.
"You have to believe me brother, she is in danger. I know it" Poseidon says, arguing with his brother. Luna ignores her brothers and only rolls her eyes at them and walks inside the room and towards the girl on the bed, seeing that she truly looks beautiful and calm and safe. However, it does remind her to recent events when she held that fifteen years old girl that she has come to care for in her arms, dying. Never again would she want to relive that moment or let it happen again as she does not deserve death.

Coming back twice was lucky but third time or even fourth, she simply doesn't know if it is possible. In theory, the girl should have died yet she came back and none have figured out why. In the background her brothers begin to argue and soon leave the room but are still arguing and fighting in the hallways. "I might not know why he says you are in danger or if you are, I just know this, I will do anything within my power to protect you. I too, have a promise to keep and you fulfilled yours yet I have not" Luna says to the sleeping girl, not knowing if she can hear her or not.
She sighs with sadness as she sees the girl sleep. Then she sits on the bed, tuning out her brother's loud voices that she has come to loath. "I wonder what a human dreams off, as a immortal being and a criminal I do not have dreams. Though my magic can bring slumber, I cannot provide the dreams. I do hope yours are not tainting your heart as you are pure" Luna speaks. The violet eyed girl feels salty tears form in her eyes.
"I can feel how powerful you are and if it were any other I would envy you but I do not" She continues as she wipes her eyes to get rid of the water that she doesn't want to fall down. Then her hands makes its way over to Arabella's hand which is resting on her stomach alongside her other hand that are holding each other. Sighing she takes her hand but then she feels this dark energy flow through her and she instantly takes her hand away, having felt pain and darkness she looks at the girl in shock. "He was right" She whispers before she hurries out of the room to find her brothers and hoping they have not murdered each other.
But on her way down the stairs she bumps into the two human brothers, one of whom she has shared a kiss with. "Well, if it isn't the handsome one and less handsome one" She says and rolls her eyes at how they are looking at her in fear and shock. "Who are you?" Jaxon asks, as he has not met her before and doesn't know who she is. She sighs before she looks at him. "Why should my name matter to humans such as yourself?" She asks.
She truly doesn't like humans but there is one case she does but what she doesn't know is that Arabella might perhaps not even be human after all. "Now, have you seen my two idiotic brothers. They should be fighting right about now, you cannot miss them?" Luna ask them, having had enough of them looking at her strangely. Grayson looks at her in confusion but he also remembers the kiss they shared but then again they have bigger problems to deal with them a girl that won't even tell them her name.
"No, we have not but have you seen our sister. The Queen, you cannot miss her?" Grayson says, mocking the words she had spoken before and she rolls her eyes at him. "You really do annoying the very girl that can and will torture you in the most painful ways in the world. Most of them coming from me or my brother" She says, standing in front of the older brother and she takes pleasure in watching him gulp in fear and can't help but smirk. "You have brothers?" Jaxon asks, still very confusion in this conversion and doesn't know if he even belongs in it.
"Yes, Lucifer or Hades as humans prefer to call him and Poseidon and there are of course two others but they will not be showing up here, you see, your sister made sure of that" Luna speaks, her voice filled with annoyance at the talk of her brothers. However, the human ones are in her way and she does need to get to her own brothers as Arabella's life could or is in danger, judging by the dark energy that she felt, she knows it is bad.
"Please allow a Lady to pass or I shall claw out your eyes from the sockets and feed them to you" She threatens with anger laced in her voice, and getting angrier by the second. She does have a temper like her brother. The two brothers in fear step away from her and she walks down the stairs and to the throne room where she sees her brothers at each other's throat. Literally. They're choking each other. "Seriously? Is that how men always deal with emotions, battle it out?" She asks disappointed in her brothers.
They instantly stop when they see her but Lucifer does raise an eyebrow at her. "What has gotten you anger, little sister?" He asks smirking as he already knows she hates that nickname. She has lived for more than ten thousand years and she's not little, sure she's about the same hight as Arabella who people might consider little. "Why should I tell you that when we have much bigger problems?" She asks though it was not a question that she invented to get an answer for. "What problem? Can't you see I'm busy proving myself right over here?" Lucifer asks and she rolls her eyes at how childish they are acting.
"It's about Arabella, she is in danger as our brother previously said. Only he failed to mention that dark magic is involved. Darker than anything I've ever seen and as I am dark magic in the living form, this is new territory for me" The midnight black haired girl speaks, her brother filled with fear when she told them. "How is that possible. The black magic should have been destroyed when you went to prison" Poseidon says to himself but his siblings did hear him. They all look hurt and confused at this.
Lucifer walks up the stairs to the thrones and touches Arabella's Queen throne, deep in thoughts until he turns around. "I just recently learned that her brothers, the humans that somehow found their way into my world are protected by magic and if I'm correct I say that the same person who protects them is harming her. I may not know who but when I do they will regret ever being born" He says as the anger in him rises and the beast is ready to come out but he does keep it down but soon her shall unleash it on everything and everyone.
Poseidon goes over to Luna. "How can someone have dark magic?" He asks her and she does give him a guilty look. She sighs. "I did not want to speak of it again as I had forgotten thanks to you and our other brothers for sending me to that awful prison but before I went on a killing spree, I met a interesting group of women in a small village that only females were allowed. They were kind to me and gave me place to be and food to eat, even showed me their culture" She speaks as a smile forms on her lips, remembering those time.
Her brothers give her confused looks as they had no idea about it, in truth they barely know their sister, she has never been the sharing type. "I felt safe and I was happy there. But, one day the village was raided and each and every one of those women were slaughtered. I stood alone bathed in their blood. Controlled by grief and anger I realized that if humans would murder their own just because they can then why should not kill them. And right there I swore revenge" She whispers.
"Those women were only trying to keep me safe and protected even when they had no idea what I was and they did not care, they accepted me for who I was and never even asked where I came from and neither did I care where they were from. But, on that day I used black magic to bring them back and one by one they all rose back from death and because whole again. It wasn't until later that I realized those women were not the same as they were before and would never be again" She tells them.
Forcing the words out of her mouth like it were painful to even talk about it. "Over time their appearances began to change, they grew older in matter of days but in the eyes of humans they were young but I saw them clearly. They brought death to all they touched, the nature and animals fell prey to their touch and became victims of the dead. I was angry at the humans for slaughtering their own that I used to women to bring destruction to the world but none knew they were always there with me" She continues, becoming more and more vulnerable with each word she speaks.
"They were powerful, yet were not witches. They were something else and they served me and would continue to do so for all time. Yet, I was captured and sent away and I never saw or heard from them again. I believed death had taken them once more and it was all over yet now I think they did live and had their own off springs. It has to be the only explanation because when a creature of black magic has a child the magic grows stronger and became wilder" She says, as they are finally catching up with the story.
"And for ten thousand years that magic has evolved and has become something that you don't even recognize. Now, they're off springs have come to serve you one more. Only I don't understand why they would harm Arabella and protect her brothers" Poseidon says but Luna has already figured that part out by herself as she's holding something back on her story and would keep that within herself forever, her brothers can never know the things that she now keeps, the secrets that could tear them apart, as secrets always do.
While the three siblings talked and discussed all about this in the throne room and tried to figure out how to safe the young girl that does not deserve any of this and has been nothing but kind to others, they fail to notice that hidden in the shadows is a shard that is not larger than the size of an apple, from a broken mirror. The mirror shard shows a woman far away from the Underworld what is taking place and watches them with with evil in her eyes and a smirk on her face.
