"The Dragon breathes the fire that can destroy the world"
"What does that mean?" Grayson asks Poseidon confused. The two brothers are rather new to this world and like their sister don't know a lot about it. "It means that Hellfire is not just a one object or a person. It is its own life force but in order for it to survive it had to create creatures. My brother is the first one, the second this world, third Dragons and fourth your sister. However, she is the strongest of the all" Poseidon says to him. "Before we continue on, we have made it into the dining room. You can eat as much as you want" He continues and opens the door to the dining room.
Jaxon and Thalia don't waste a second on going to the table where, as always food covers the long dining table. Food that not many would recognize. "I will not eat until I have understood what is happening to my sister and how she is connected to creatures such as Dragons" Grayson speaks. His voice is filled with anger and confusion as none of this makes sense in his mind, then again he is human or was human. Poseidon sighs as he sits down and gestures the older twin to do too.
"Hellfire is a force that I cannot explain myself, yet I can tell you that it lives in Arabella and for that alone, she is powerful but that isn't the only thing that makes her this powerful. I, nor anyone truly know what she truly is. Though, I can tell you this, she might have it in her veins she is still your sister no matter what" He explains, only wishing that he could say more for he can see how much the older twin wants to know the truth, if he were in that position he would want to know.
Grayson's confusion only grows and doesn't think that his words helped him at all. "What about the Dragons? What part do they play in this?" He then asks when he had realized that he hadn't said much about the Dragons themselves. He has never even seen a Dragon, no one had or that is what he believed yet now he knows that Dragons as well as other mythical creatures are real and it doesn't make any sense now to his (human) Demon side. "Dragons were what we called protectors of the realm" Poseidon starts but it cut off by laughter coming from Jaxon and Thalia who are in their own world eating and being in love.
Smiling softly at the couple he then turns back to look at Grayson. "A long time ago Dragons were in the human world to protect the elements, which is my brothers and I, when we surfaced as humans wanted our power for themselves. Every world has its own species of Dragons, however my brother went too far with his Dragons and created them with Hellfire, a fire that is alive yet cannot live on its own. He wanted to rule with them and he wanted everyone to see how powerful he was with them" The water King says.
"But, the Dragons had a mind of their own and while their original instincts were to protect and serve their master, they went rouge with the Hellfire inside them and wanted to burn down all the worlds. You see, fire is necessary but the power that comes with it cannot be just anyone that controls it and that is why I believe your lovely sister is so important. For without her power and her love this world and every world will soon fall" He continues.

"The Dragons learned to obey their master in time yet the Hellfire inside them always wished to destroy all that lived and bring fire to the world. Like when your sister was born and formed a bond with Hades, then Dragons did too and a bond unlike any other was created between my brothers and the Dragons and soon both parties showed respect and the fire settled, as it no longer craved to destroy and bring decay. It wanted to protect like the Dragons were created to do" Poseidon speaks.
His voice says boredom yet Grayson does not pick up on that. Of course, the one that is water does not wish to speak about fire, the enemy of water. "That bond will also be formed when Arabella meets them and I believe it will be stronger. And perhaps it will bring us closer to figuring out what your sister truly is for none knows now" Poseidon says and he was about to open his mouth and speak when another presence has welcomed itself into the Underworld and he can feel that presence. Anger boils inside him as he stands up and walks to the throne room, leaving the three of them in the dining room. "Father, you truly picked a wrong day" He mutters angrily to himself as he walks down the dark hallways.
Arabella breaks the kiss but the blush that had formed on her cheeks doesn't leave her face. "Shall go we in, I do sense they are eager to meet you?" He asks and and she cannot do anything but nod her head as the words have literally all disappeared from her mind after that kiss. He removes his arms around her yet still holds her hand in his and he doesn't want to let go of her any time soon.
They walk towards the gate and he puts his hand that he doesn't hold her and puts it on the gate door itself and under his touch the gate begins to glow brightly and soon the gate begins to open before their very own eyes. She gasps when she can feel something pull her and the young girl doesn't want to deny the craving to be in there any longer. Her fire eyes are watching what is in front of her and when she sees them her jaw drops open.
Creatures taller than anything she's ever seen stand there before her. Arabella lets go of his hand and slowly her feet begin to move towards the Dragons that have stopped what they are doing to watch the King and Queen whom they've bonded with yet no bond has been created between the girl and them but the fire that they all share together is enough to have them long for each other like Hades and Arabella. "They're beautiful" She whispers not even caring if no one can hear her, she cannot believe what she is seeing.
The smallest Dragon is in front of her yet to her it is not that small as to her it's so large and big. The scales black as the night yet the ends of the scales have a hint of deep red in them. The tail long and sharp and even when the scales grow smaller she can tell that they're sharper by the tail than anywhere else. The head is smoother to her as the scales aren't that sharp and they are smaller. Teeth sharper than any human made sword yet what catches her the most are the eyes.
The eyes that mirror hers and the fire colored eyes that the Dragon has stares back into her fire eyes and with a smile on her face she walks slowly over to the Dragon. It doesn't object to it nor does it move, only stares back. For a normal human fear should be creeping in but Arabella doesn't find herself afraid, no the feelings inside her are not of fear but of excitement and happiness and the tears of joy in her eyes. Her body stands by the head as the eye contact has not disappeared. The thought of the Dragon harming her has not even entered her head.

"Hello" She slowly whispers and as if the Dragon understand what she said he nods his head at her but doesn't break the contact. She slowly reaches her hand out to touch the Dragon but in that moment she doesn't know if the Dragon would want that so her hand just freezes in the air. The Dragon moves his head until her palm touches the snout of the creatures and she smiles brightly to him. When she touches him the bond was formed and with that bond new abilities have been created.
"My Queen, I shall serve you for as long as I draw breath and I shall protect you for as long as I live" She hears his voice in her head and she giggles. She can see in his eyes that he truly means it and when she should be shocked she is not. Everything is different in the Underworld yet she is getting the hang of it and shock is not something that bothers her anymore like it did when she first came there. "What is your name?" She asks the Dragon in front of her, she doesn't see that Hades has walked off somewhere else nor does she care, this is all she can focus at the moment and all she wishes to have.
"I do not have a name, my Queen" The Dragon spoke to her in her mind and she feels anger wash over her at the port Dragon for he doesn't have a name and no one bothered to name him. However hearing his voice in her head makes her feel calmer and even when his voice is deep and scary it does not frighten her at all. She feels calm and relaxed through it all.
She thinks for a moment and looks over him on his scales until she meets his eyes once more and she has found a perfect name that fits him well. "Fire Raven" She whispers to him and his eyes grow larger as if resembles a smile that has gotten wider. Her hand still sits on his snout and she feels his soft hot breath on her body and her fire dress responds to it as the spikes grow higher then lower and then higher again. "I accept your name and I do believe it's unique" His voice says in her mind.
Her smile widens. "When I was a little girl and when the winter came crashing, I would see ravens all around me. I've always been fascinated by them and when I look over your scales I see how much the color speaks to me like theirs did" She explains to him and she can remember the time where when the snow softly fell to the ground she would see the birds that most spoke about being part of witchcraft for they always knew when a tragedy was about to take place around them yet she could not help but admire them.
"I have never seen a raven but your memories of them are enough for me to know that they are beautiful creatures" He says and she is surprised that wen she painted her memories in her mind that he could see them. She opens her mouth to speak but a gust of wind comes her way. She turns around to see that on the ground a little further than she is a Dragon too and what surprises her the most is that the love of her life, Hades is sitting on top of the Dragon like he belongs there.
She lets out a laugh when she sees it and she cannot believe that he sits on a Dragon. His Dragon is also black but unlike her Dragon he doesn't have any other color to him as he's just pitch black. His Dragon does seem a whole lot scarier than hers does and it is also bigger and larger in size but that doesn't scare her, none of the Dragons scare her. "Take him for a ride, my love. You shall love the feeling" He calls out to her and her eyes widen by his words.
"I can ride a Dragon?" She calls out to him and she can hear him faintly chuckle at her question. "Of course, that is why we are here, are we not?" He asks her and she looks down to the ground in shame as she had forgotten about that. Being with Fire Raven made her go into another world where they are just the two of them. Arabella then turns around to face him once more. "I have never ridden a Dragon before, I do not know how to" She confesses to Fire Raven as her head hangs low.
Fire Raven then moves his wing on the ground where there is a straight way for her to his back. "And I have never had a rider. We shall learn together, my Queen" He tells her and his voice is comforting enough that she feels as if she can do this. In truth she has only ridden a horse and nothing else and a Dragon is a major step from a horse that is for sure. She takes a deep breath before she goes over to the wing. As she takes a step on the wing she realizes something. "Will it hurt for you, I do not want to harm you?" She asks him and looks at him with worry.
Riding him won't mean anything if she hurts him. "I do not feel pain" He only tells her and she does give him a confused look but makes a mental note to ask that later as now is not the time. Her bare toes touch his wing and like when her hand touches him she feels the connection. She has thought it would be rough but his wing is smooth, smoother than anything she has ever touched before. Her hands reaching out to balance herself as she climbs slowly up his wing.
She wonders how she has not fallen before as it's smooth and slippery yet she doesn't want to think too much about it and then she will fall. "You have nothing to fear, my Queen, I shall never let you fall" He says in her mind and something annoys her. "I do want you to call me Arabella" She tells him and then she realizes that she has made it onto his back.the scales are scarlet red and go all the way from the back of his head to his tail. She had not seen this before as he is so tall.
Arabella goes with her legs on either side of his back and sits down. And she smiles and laughs with happiness. "I'm sitting on a Dragon, I don't believe it. This is a dream. All of it" She says to herself as she can't even imagine that this is happening to her. "You should believe it for it's the reality that you live in" Fire Raven tells her in her mind and she already knows that none of this would be possible if he were not there with her.
"What do I hold onto?" She asks him when she looks around to see that there is nothing she can hold on so she won't fall down because as of now she truly believes that she is about to fall down. As soon as she has uttered those words scales on his back lift themselves up and it might not be much, sharp scales that are pointing up but it is something to hold onto. Slowly Arabella's hands reach out and she grabs the scales and holds tight. "Now, are you ready to fly?" He asks her and she laughs. "Yes" She answers with a smile on her face.
The midnight haired girl had gone to the dungeon once more where her brother's wife sits. The cell dirtier than anything she's ever seen before and the woman that once tried to win her husband back is in chains. "Do you feel it?" The violet eyed girl asks as she sits on a chair that she had put there. She smirks as she looks at the woman in her cell, looking as miserable as ever and she does love watching someone, especially one who she hates in misery and pain.
"The girl you had tried to kill is riding a Dragon" Luna tells her with a faint smile, all she wants to do is smile and be happy but she has another thing coming for she does not want to show what she is feeling inside, showing her enemy that she is happy for Arabella. "What do you want? Surly not to talk about the child that is trying to steal my husband" Helen says with venom laced in her voice that doesn't hide from anyone. Luna scoffs with hatred at her. "Steal your husband? Trust me, the only one stealing him is you and you shall regret it for the rest of your immortal life or until I find a way to kill you once and for all" She tells her.
"However, that isn't what I came here to speak to you. I came here to torture you" She continues before the other woman has a chance to speak. She narrows her violet eyes in hatred and disgust at the woman in the cell for she would rather see her dead body than her alive and breathing. "You can try but you shall never be able to get rid of me. Even for some miracle you were able to kill, I would soon become a Demon and be here forever" Helen says with a sly smirk on her face.
"While that may be true, however have you heard how Queen Arabella banished her own mother to the deepest depth of Hell where she shall never see a single soul for the rest of time. Believe me, she has the power to chain you to a place where only darkness rules but do you know the best part?" Luna asks as she stands up and walks closer to the bars of the cell.
A dark and evil chuckles escapes from her throat as she stands near the woman in the cell and the thought of torturing her is still lingering in mind and she has a lot of thoughts on that. "Darkness is my speciality and we shall have so much fun together" She speaks, and then laugh evilly as she sees Helen's face fall. Then she turns around and walks towards the door. "I shall leave on that note, cannot spoil all the fun now. Besides, I must greet someone who has decided to give us the pleasure of seeing him. I wonder how my dear old daddy is" Luna says and let's out a high pitch laugh that is a mixture between evil and wickedness before she walks out of the dungeon.
