"Let the fire rage on"

The young fifteen years old Arabella has suffered a great loss yet as the Queen that will rule the world she knows that she must move on. Believe that one day she will see her brothers once again but doesn't know how soon that time is about to come soon. For now she grows further away from them as she accompanies the man she has fallen deep in love with to see Dragons, creatures she never thought could exist yet she is about see them with her very own eyes. After the pain she has been through and the craziness in her life, she needs something to make her feel alive.

Not knowing if she is even alive anymore. She has died a couple of times and come back to live, things like that can change a person. When no one is looking all she wishes to do is break down yet she has to remain this strong Queen that they believe her to be. "Are they tall? I have heard stories of how Dragons are taller than any castle and I do not know if that is the truth" She says awkwardly as the two of them walk together.

In truth she's been wishing to grow closer to Hades yet she can sense he's different or perhaps it is she who is different and she does not know how to act. "The oldest one is about the same size as our castle while the smallest one is on the size of your old house" He tells her and she gasps when he hears his words, and she does ignore the fact that he said her old house since in her heart it will always be her house and it will always be her home. But the size of those Dragons are bigger than anything she could ever think of.

"Will they try to eat me?" She then asks, knowing that Dragons that are larger than the castle that she lives in now and she thinks that is the largest thing she's ever seen in her life. "No. Like us, they are creatures of magic and therefore do not attack us" He answers her and then takes her hand into his to calm her down. His crimson red eyes meet her fire ones and the smile on her face is impossible not to see. "Are you happy?" He asks her.

The girl has suffered through a lot and the evil King knows this and he will do anything to make her happy, even if that means taking her memories of her brothers to ease the pain. He has found a great plan to do that. She bites her lips when he holds her hand and though she does like it, she has a cut on her palm from where Luna had cut her yet she doesn't know any of that. "Yes" She whispers to him, no amount of pain could destroy her happiness and her love for him for her heart belongs to him.

She has thought about saying no yet she knows that she is happy but the pain is still there. Then she must remind herself that she is strong and must remain the part for sovereigns are often dethroned if they show the slightest weakness that they have and she is not about to become dethroned because of the love she held for her brothers. She doesn't tell him about the slight sting in her palm and in truth she's trying to forget that pain and the fact that she's feeling it. "I do have a question" She says.

He looks down at her and meets her eyes once more and never wanting to let them go, they lure him in like she herself does like a siren lures in a sailor but this time he doesn't feel like he's being lured in to death, yet he would happily die for her and he would gladly kill, murder and slaughter for her and to keep her safe and protected. "Anything you wish to know, you can ask" He tells her and in her eyes he can tell that she's nervous and perhaps that is because of what they have been through or perhaps because he has snapped at her when they first met for real.

"What am I?" She asks him. That question has been running through her mind since she was a child. Her brothers thought she did not know, yet she knew she was different from the other children. She could not get hurt by fire, in fact she found it comforting and she could not even grow cold for the fire in her veins kept her warm when she did not even know it. The sun never burned her. She noticed it but pretended not to. He sighs.

"You are my Queen" He says to her and he can see the fall of her smile, after not getting the right answer of that question. In truth he doesn't even know what she is. She is the Queen that will rule the world yet she is also human or so they think. None know what she truly is and it is clear she may not be a human after all. No human can handle the magic inside her veins and no human can come back to life. It is not possible. Except for Helen who he doesn't want to think of and she only came back to life with the help of magic gifted by his brother.

"What more than that? I do not understand it at all. I do not even look human anymore, I do not even believe I've ever looked human. I was born with hair red as fire and now the color of my hair resembles fire and my eyes were blue, I know that yet they are fire now and I keep thinking. What am I? If I am not a human, then what am I?" She asks. The Queen is scared and the tears in her eyes that she doesn't allow to fall says it all.

This question has always been asked by her brothers throughout hr childhood as this is not a normal behavior and as humans themselves they did not understand this situation nor understand her. Luna and Hades and even their brother Poseidon have wondered what the young girl truly is yet not even the oldest creatures in the world do not even know this mystery that has fallen upon them. "I fear I do not yet why should that matter? You have me and that is all you need" He says.

She looks away from him to hide the hurt and anger that she feels by his words. They walk out of the castle and she can't help but wonder where the Dragons are for she has never seen one before, then again a couple of times that she has gone out of the castle she has either died or gone to the cave with the lake, where she longs to go once again. There she feels peace and can be by herself without everything on top of her shoulder.

Neither of them know what to say, there is tension between them yet their love for one another is strong. She does not even know how she fell in love with him, only that she has fallen and she has fallen deep in love with him. She doesn't know what to say to him and with her brothers dead and Luna not wanting to speak to her for a reason she doesn't know yet, she feels alone inside. Lucifer has become Hades. Everything is changing around her and it confuses her and she has a hard time keeping up with it.

"Where are they?" She finally asks after they have been walking for awhile. She has this feeling inside of her that she can't understand yet she feels as if she needs to be in the castle, that there is something there that is waiting for her. Only she doesn't know that the thing that is waiting for her is actually her two brothers who are now Demons in Hell but she will soon find out and when she does she's in for a big surprise. Hades however has felt the same feeling, only he knows exactly what it is and what has happened to her brothers.

And doesn't want to tell her for obvious reasons, he truly doesn't tolerate them and would be fine without them around her as he wants to keep her all to himself, even sharing her with his siblings is hard enough for him to do. "Just a little further" He tells her with a smirk on himself as he thinks on how to torture the two brothers for they are now in Hell and it is his job to punish those who have sinned for all eternity. "When you do see them, do not scream for they might be horrifying at first glance and then when you do get to know them you realize they are just horrifying in general" He says to her.

She lets out a small giggle, the very sound is like heaven in his ears and the irony is real. A heavenly giggle from the Queen of Hell. "They cannot be that horrifying, can they?" She asks though she was mostly asking herself, she has never seen a Dragon yet in all stories they are the magnificent creatures that can breathe fire and perhaps that is why she does not find it believable that they are horrifying for she is also a creature of fire like them and like them she can survive the flames.

"You shall see, yet there is nothing better than sitting on the back of a Dragon. The feeling of flying is unlike anything. You shall see, my love" He tells her. She has never flown before, no one has yet she finds herself exited to fly. "Hades?" She asks him when she suddenly hears a loud growl in the distance and she can guess from what creature that growl came from and it shocks her to the bones but she cannot help but feel drawn to the growl or more importantly the creature it belongs to.

"Yes, my love?" He asks her as he holds her hand tighter, and keeping her closer to him to protect her. Knowing that they would not dare to harm the girl that they feel power radiate over but he can't help himself. He can't have her hurt. He swore he would protect her with his life and he intends to keep that promise, even if he hasn't exactly done that great of a job at it, then again he was cursed before. "Am I a just Queen?" She asks him.

Shocking the King greatly with this question. "Of course you are, I stand beside you with pride in my eyes for I know you will do right with our people" He tells her. It might not be that often that the ruthless King is honest with someone yet he would never lie to her. At least he tries not to lie to her then again he is also evil in his bones so the trying to be good for her is going to take time but they do have forever together.

"I want to rule but I do not want them to hate me for doing the wrong things. The last time someone hated me I died and then I died again. And it frightens me that they might rise against me and I will be thrown of my throne" She admits. They still walk over to a large gate which she did not even know was there yet can blame that on the fact that she doesn't know the Underworld as much as she thought she did as there are Dragons and she never knew it.

He stops her before she could even walk any further and makes her turn to face him. His arms wrap around her waist and hold her close to his chest. She laughs at this and he loves hearing her smile and laugh like this, she needs it after all the pain and suffering that she's been through. "No one will dare challenge you and if they do try I will show them my worst and punish them in ways that they deserve" He says and his crimson red eyes blacken when he spoke those words. In his possessive state he pulls her closer to him but she smiles and goes on her toes to capture his lips.

Thalia stands there with her jaw dropped on the floor and her eyes widen to the limit that they might pop out of their sockets soon if she doesn't stop. However the tears are quick to come into her eyes as she stares at the two brothers in shock, not even believing what she is seeing in front of her. "Thalia" Jaxon says and she backs away from them as he walks over to her. "Y-you're not real. You died. I watched you die!" She says with tears streaming down her cheeks.

The sadness that she has tried to take her mind off returns all at once and her chest feels like a thousand knives have cut her heart. "Thalia, I swear that I am real" He says as he takes a step closer to her, this time she doesn't react but she does watch him in surprise and shock. Fear creeps into her bones as she sees him standing there with his brother and for a moment she feels as if she has seen a ghost or if she has officially gone insane.

"How?" She asks as he comes even closer to her. He stands in front of her and takes her hand. She feels his touch on her and she can feel that he is real, yet it does not make any sense to her. She doesn't understand how he can be alive. She saw him die in front of her, she held his dead body in his arms and she cried for him because she has fallen in love with him. "I do not know. I believe we are now like you, Demons" He tells her as he still holds her hand.

Neither of them wanting to let go of one another. Grayson watching his younger twin brother hold this woman with passion and love, it is clear that he has fallen too yet does not want to admit it to anyone, not even himself yet he can see it in his brother. He smiles at his brother and remembers the girl that he has felt feelings that he did not understand, Luna. The same girl that killed him. "We must find my sister, do you know where she is?" Grayson suddenly asks Thalia as she looks over to him to see all the blood on him, she gasps when she sees it.

But she does shake her head. "No, I do not know. Yet, I was on my way to find her. I now serve her and I will do whatever I can to protect her from all harm" She says, the shock is still written on her face and it is clear that the shock is not going to leave any time soon. The tears have stopped but her face is still puffy and her eyes are red from crying. "I do believe I can help with finding that young Queen" A voice behind her says and she turns around.

Only to Poseidon standing there, no shock on his face as if he knew that the two brothers were alive or he just hides his shock well enough so they can't see it, either way he can help them. "Tell us where she is, we must see her at once" Jaxon says as he faces the water King, still holding the hand of Thalia as he never wants to let go of her and he truly doesn't want to let go, he might not have realized it himself but his actions do speak louder than his unspoken words.

"The lovely Arabella has gone with my brothers to the Dragons and before you panic, they are perfectly safe and shall return shorty. However, might I offer you some refreshments, I do believe I have a lot of things to explain as I do know what has happened to the two of you and I might be able to shed some light on the matter" He says calmly and Grayson wonders how he can be so calm through this whole thing yet needs to remind himself that this is Hell, anything is possible.

"All right, lead us the way, I fear I don't know this castle well enough to know my way around" He says as he looks back at his younger brother who looks to be lost in the beauty of the woman he holds hands with. Poseidon gestures them to follow them and Grayson does so and pokes Jaxon to follow them too as if he would not have done that he would not have followed, been too lost in Thalia. "Dragons are real?" He asks Poseidon as he walks beside him. He doesn't seem that surprised, at least not as surprised at his little sister when she found out.

"Yes, they are, beautiful creatures too yet too much fire for my taste. Though, perfect for the Queen of Hell as I do know she will connect with them on level that none can explain" Poseidon says, he remains calm throughout everything and he finds it so odd how that can be. The blonde water King is also a creature of magic and not much surprises him anymore but what they don't know is that he is hiding the surprise that he does feel. "What do you perfect for Arabella?" Grayson asks.

Poseidon doesn't stop walking as he leads them to the dining room. "You see, your sister is a force that has Hellfire living inside of her and the Dragons are creatures that breathe fire themselves. Like my brother and Arabella, the fire they have is connected and it is the same with her and Dragons. They will have the urge to protect her and care for the and she them. She will in time begin to love them as her pets" He explains yet to Grayson it doesn't make any sense and he still doesn't understand it at all. "Arabella and Dragons have the same fire inside them" Poseidon then says.
