"The flame means nothing without emotion"

Luna rushes to help Arabella stand on her feet. "Are you all right?" She asks the girl who only nods her head. Her foot is stinging with pain yet she can take it. She has dies and come back to life two times already, a little wound on the leg will do nothing to her. Also she is the most power being to ever cross the world and pain is something she should laugh at. "I did not mean to hurt her" Arabella says as her eyes are cast down at the place where the floor had ripped open and taken the woman in chains.

"I know you did not but she does deserve this" Luna tells her. Arabella then turns around, only to see her brother dead and Thalia wailing as the tears continue to stream down her cheeks. Both of them are still stuck to the wall. With a small gasp, the fire eyed girl feels the salty tears prick her eyes as she stands there in shock and sadness. Her heart nearly shattering by the sigh she's seeing. Luna goes over to her and wraps her arms around the grieving girl who takes the hug as she lets out a sob.

"Please, no" She continues to say as the tears roll down her cheeks. The sadness and sorrow hangs over her and has her tied up as she continues to look at her older brother. She only wished he and Grayson would live happily like she did but because of her they will never get that change, neither of them. She cannot feel Grayson's presence anywhere in the Underworld which makes her believe he too has fallen like his younger brother. She continues to sob as she falls to the ground with Luna still hugging her yet it is clear she has no idea what she is doing.

Her fire dress has turned into light blue in sign of her sadness and even when it burns Luna she does not move from the hug that she is giving her, perhaps it is the guilt that she was the one that killed them in the first place or the fact that she does not like seeing her friend in such pain or any pain at all. A couple of minutes passes before Luna decides to let them down, slowly she removes her spell and Thalia as well as Jaxon fall softly to the ground.

Thalia is not long at crowing to his side and cradle the man that she has fallen in love with. Her tears falling on his skin as he lies there limp and motionless. Slowly Arabella breaks the hug and makes her way over to her brother where Thalia holds him. Looking with tears in her eyes towards his face with so much sadness, she takes his hand and holds it tight. To a girl that does not feel the cold, his hand feel freezing to her. Luna sits back where they had been before and sees the glowing tears in the ground, Arabella's glowing tears.

None had really known why her tears glow and when she has seen this before she only now wonders what they mean, yet also knows this is neither the time nor place for such thoughts for she should be busy trying to comfort her friend after what she did to her but she had to, she had to kill them in order for Arabella to come back to life because she knew that without her, the world nor neither of them would survive and that is why she had to make the tough choice that she made.

Arabella takes her brother into her hands and hugs him tightly as she wails and cries. The fire in her dress has grown smaller from her grief as it feels her emotions and it feeds of it. But her dress isn't the only fire that is feeling her emotions, it's all the fire around Hell and each and every Demon can see it and feel it inside of them that she is hurting and she is grieving yet no one knows how to help her, yet they feel for her, they wish they could help their Queen.

Poseidon and Hades have noticed the fire too and seen how pale blue it has become. They stop their fighting and while Poseidon studies the fire with confusion, the fire King himself knows what it is and what it means. He smirks. "It seems our sister has indeed become successful of awaking my Queen, however her sadness mirrors the flames" He says as the anger inside him only becomes worse, only now it is directed at the reason why the love of his life cries and feels this sadness wash over her and holds on to her and doesn't want to let go.

His older brother watches him with confusion. "What has happened to that lovely girl?" He asks him, and attempts to walk over to him but after hearing his brother growls at the way he put his words he backs away and rolls his eyes. "I do not know, not yet. We must go back. I can feel her energy and it's strong yet weak" Hades says, though it is almost as if he's speaking to himself of this and thinking out loud. Before he does anything else he heads back for the castle, avoiding anything and anyone who stands in his way of seeing his Queen.

Then he feels something that always puts a wicked smirk on his face. "Two human souls have entered Hell and are on their way of become Demons" He says to Poseidon who has followed him since he began walking, however he still holds his sword as if he will use it again. Though Hades is now done inflicting pain and misery on his brother, he has other priorities, mainly Arabella and can't worry about anything else beside her and getting to her. "Why tell me this?" The water King asks.

"Because we walk in silence and the silence makes me wish to slice your throat, you do not want that, I take it?" He asks though one cannot deny the glint of evil in his eyes. The evil that has been locked away for so long has resurfaced when Hades took control and now he is back to who he was before. "Of course not, I'm not much for the bloodshed around here, but why say about those two souls? Do not come more then that at the same time?" He asks his brother, of course confused, then again he does not understand a lot of the Underworld and his brother does not understand his kingdom.

"No they do not, some don't come until days or even years after their death. It takes a time finding the right spot to enter this world and some torture themselves trying to find some place on going inside of being in endless darkness forever. That's the beauty of, they are being tortured the moment their soul leaves the body" He says and chuckles wickedly as he his eyes catches one Demon village, knowing that they will stay hidden from him.

The Demons fear him and they can sense his power around him and their fear that, they fear the pain and agony they will give him. His Queen, Arabella, they might see that she is kind and will show mercy but he will certainly not show any mercy to anyone. "I did not know that" Poseidon says. His blonde hair going over his eyes but he uses his hand and takes it away. "Of course you did not, all you have to think of is how many fish the ocean holds or how many glasses of water can be filled with all the water in the world" Hades says in a mocking tone.

"Funny, truly it is. The ocean is harder to control than you know and as these humans explore doesn't make it any easier" Poseidon tells him, but know his brother is not listening to anything he's saying, not only because he is not interested nor does care for it but because he has his mind of a certain fire haired girl that he can tell his brother loves. "While we have nothing better to do, I would like to know what you will do about the beautiful Arabella?" The older one asks.

Hades lets out a low growl, still not liking this. "What about her?" He asks him though he can already guess where this conversation will soon be going. "You are married, my dear brother, and I do take it you do not take two wives. I wonder how you will do this, one wed to you whom you do not love and then the one who you do love and is the one you were destined to rule side by side with" He says. It will be a long walk to the castle and they need to find something to distract themselves from worrying about the worst.

"Yes, while that may be true, I know how to deal with them" He says. He really has not thought much of his wife for some time as she has been put into the dungeon once more and hoped she would become a forgotten memory that no one would speak of again. After all, she does have forever. Poseidon rolls his eyes as he uses his sword to walk as a stick as he's tired of walking and the heat of the Underworld is starting to get to him.

"Women who are jealous of each other can often be found age each other's throat and do not forget that one is immortal with healing properties and one can summon Hellfire and is literally a mystery" The older one says. While he cannot known how powerful Arabella is, he can tell that she is powerful and none have come to the conclusion that she is not human at all as they believe her to be. "A mystery? Yes, I believe she is a mystery, however she wears a crown on her head and rules the world with me, what more does she want?" He asks, though the question does seem insane even to himself.

"I believe she wants your heart, your love and being wed to you. Marriage is for life for humans and the fact that you have had many wives will only cause her harm and not mention that one of those wives is still alive. I would guess that the stunning Arabella will not agree to marry you while your wife still breathes" Poseidon speaks, not knowing that his words would inspire horrid actions from his brother, then again none can tell what the ruthless King will do next.

He doesn't see the evil smirk in his eyes and he doesn't know how his mind has already solved that obstacle in his life. "Now, I would also like to discuss your leave" Hades says and chuckles as he can see the castle yet it is still far away from them and they have enough time to talk over things that they need to talk about. "My leave, forgive me brother but I do not know what you speak of?" The blonde King asks confused. "I do not wish to have you in my kingdom forever and you also have yours to rule over, can't be all the time here, now can you?" He asks his older brother.

"I must say the ocean can survive without me present, however I do have found a girl that I am itching to get back to" He says and smirks, referring something that his brother can easily guess what is. "How fun it would be to have that meet me, I'm sure she will leave you like they always do. The heroic brother, always to the rescues yet can't bind himself to a woman" Hades says. Of course, mocking his brother who only laughs and rolls his eyes.

"Always the flirt, but forget that your lovely Queen will not be happy if you do flirt with other women. Besides, you should be thinking of how to explain to her that you can't get rid of your marriage with your wife for the only reason a marriage can be broken is through death and as she cannot die, there is a problem there..." Poseidon says, trying to distract his brother from his own problems, but what he doesn't know is that it will only make him think of more cruel and wicked and evil ways for Helen.

As the castle draws nearer they continue on their way, neither had spoken after that and neither knew what to say, though they may be brothers, they are not that close even if they do seem like it. Neither of them could say anything about the other as they really don't know each other. They enter the castle and they are instantly greeted with negative energy that both of them can feel, and they can guess who it is without even uttering a single word and the two head for the bedroom where they already know that is where everything is happening.

The closer they got to the bedroom the more the energy they felt when entering the castle became, a mixture between negative and positive energy and neither could understand what it was, only knew who was responsible for this feeling. Arabella. Only what they don't know is why she is experiencing that feeling yet they are about to find out what has been going on and they are about to witness it with their very own eyes. Neither of them can tell if she is awake or if she is dying, they don't know.

Her tears continue to fall down into his shirt as she cries for her brother, her brother that she has lost. She fears for her other brother and she is frightened that he might be gone too, never to be seen again and she has only now got them back. She fears she has taken their lives herself for she is the reason for why neither of them had a family of their own or happiness and now one is dead and she fears for her oldest brother. Arabella doesn't care for anything else beside her brothers now, she's not much aware of Luna nor Thalia as they are in the room with her.

While Thalia continues to cry along with Arabella, Luna just stands there watching them with a curious eye. She keeps wondering how one can love someone that much that they cry long after they are dead, and they can no longer hear them or see them, they are gone. She wonders why she has never felt this way before. Luna has felt horrible when Arabella passed away, yet she did not cry this much. She responded with violence, the only thing she truly know.

Her whole life violence and murder has always been the way of things but ever since she met the sweet and kind-hearted Arabella, she has begun to see that the ways she has known for more than ten thousand years may not have been the right ways. It confuses her terribly that only kindness can do so much yet it can also bring nothing but pain and misery just like she is witnessing right now. All the young Arabella has ever done is show kindness and she has been kind to even Luna, who most could deem evil and dangerous which she is yet this girl does not fear her.

It does mean that if the kindness girl that she has met and the only girl she has met in a long time or at least a girl that she does not want to murder, then perhaps there is hope for her. Yet deep down she realizes that there is no hope for a person like her. Not after what she has done. Even when Luna thinks that she does have hope she still doubts it for she has done terrible things and she even brought sadness to her only friend, the only one who cares about her.

Perhaps because she has murdered two of her brothers in cold blood that there is no hope for her anymore, at least not after what she has done and for all eternity there will be no hope, she is hopeless to help. She thinks that maybe she should go back to that prison, at least there she would not harm anyone, yet what she does not know is that if she were to go there then there would be a young girl that would feel sorrow for her, because she cares.

Luna backs away into the shadows and disappears, going somewhere else, knowing that no one would want her around when Arabella learns what truly happened to her brothers. Not wanting to be anywhere near the girl when she learns of this betrayal yet she does not know the full truth on why she did it and Luna doubts she would ever be informed of it. With a tear running down her cheek she goes where most would not be looking for anyone there. The dungeon, the most death like place she can find and a place where she feels she belongs.

Hades and Poseidon enter the room to see the two girls on the floor cradling the human boy who the two of them have come to the conclusion is dead. Realizing why they were feeling that energy and it is the strongest in the room. But there is someone else that they feel too, only neither can know what it is. They are just happy that she has woken up from her deep slumber as they believed it would be the end of her, they Luna had woken her, what they don't know is that Luna may have had a hand in waking her, it was not Luna herself that did wake Arabella up.

Arabella is crying too much with her heart heavy and the pain inside of her that she can't handle. She has never felt this grief to her and it brings her down, and as if it pulls her to the ground she feels as if she needs to let this emotions out and she does. The fire Queen stands up and let's out an ear-piercing scream, bringing everyone around her to their knees holding their hands over their ears for her voice is so loud and powerful.
