"Fire is not meant to be played with"

The wind throws her fire hair back as she has taken flight on the back of the Dragon. Laughter escapes past her lips as she finds the happiness rush through her body. She holds as tight as she can around the scales yet they never seem to harm her but she doesn't have a second to think about that for she cannot stop thinking about the fact that she is flying. She is sitting on a Dragon and riding it. "I never knew flying would be this cleansing" She speaks yet it is like her voice becomes lost in the wind.

She might not be that far up in the air and the Dragon has not even left the spot that he was in before, only he has higher up and away from the ground yet this is something that Arabella has never done before and being up in the air with the wings moving and slowly flapping she finds herself in excitement. "Flying will always defeat the purpose of the ground" Fire Raven speaks in her head when she had thought none could hear her voice. Even when the Dragon has not gone that far from the ground it does create a force of air as it flaps its wings.

Her fire eyes search the world around her, not trying to look around but to try to find the man that she has fallen in love with for she has realized that he's not where he was before. Arabella had becomes lost in the excitement of being off the ground that she had not realized that he was gone. "Look up, my love" Hades speaks above her and with a smile on her face she looks up to see that his Dragon and himself are upside down. Once again laughter comes from the girl.

His hand reaches down and without thinking she lets go of one of the scales and reaches up to take his hand and when their skin touch she feels the blush rise to her cheeks as they warm up. "Having fun?" He asks her and she can't help but smile the brightest smile she has ever put on. "Of course" She speaks. With the wind around them she can't be sure if he did hear her but she has a feeling that he did hear her. "Now, where do you wish to go?" Hades asks the girl.

He looks at the fifteen-year-old girl and can't help but see how much she has changed over the last couple of weeks. Proven herself over and over again that she is the rightful Queen and that she is the girl that he loves and now that she is safe with him, he would never left her go. But he does let her hand go and his Dragon turns around to be beside Fire Raven. "Is it all right that we visit the lake in the cave?" She asks him for she has been eager to go back there, the place that she feels safe and protected.

That place is the only place in the Underworld that she feels like nothing can harm her. Yet she does feel safe with Hades, the only problem is how many times she has died. Even through that she still loves him with all her heart and that will never go away as long as she lives and even if she were to die the love she holds for him would be too strong. "For you, I would go anywhere" He speaks. Somehow through the wind that the wings from both Dragons make is unable to stop them from speaking and they can hear each other.

Hade's goes first and then Fire Raven follows behind. "How can the world be so small yet so large?" She asks though it was more of a thought to herself more than a question meant for anyone to answer but her question is answered. "The world from above will always be smaller yet you can see places that you can't see on the ground. It never changes how large it is but from the way that you see it for you are looking from a different perspective" Fire Raven speaks.

When she thinks of his words they are correct. The world itself has not changed at all, only the way that she sees it. The crimson red ground of the Underworld is the same yet it looks different when looking above it and the fires that sometimes erupt from the ground look smaller when seen above and as the Dragon flies above the ground she finds herself looking at everything. Not knowing why yet she does want to see it all. The Underworld is a place that she is the Queen but she doesn't even know everything about it nor has seen it all.

Not before long Fire Raven lands on the ground and she notices that Hades is already on the ground and off his Dragon. Letting go of the scales and seeing them go back to their normal place she moves her leg over and then she stands up on the wing that she had walked up before and she walks down, making sure to not fall while she's at it. When looking around there is nothing, no sign that the cave with the lake is even there at all and everything looks the same, yet then again looks can be deceiving.

"I will wait here for you, my Queen" Fire Raven speaks in her head and she goes over to his head and looking into his fire colored eyes. When others might see fright and terror and evil, she sees kindness, light and goodness in his eyes. His appearance is nothing compared to his heart. "Thank you" She speaks to him. Thanking him for the flight that she had had and it is one that she shall never forget as long as she lives and that life could be a long one.

"You're welcome" He says in her head. His voice makes her feel calm when her adrenaline should be over the roof yet she doesn't feel it. Arabella goes to Hades where he stands and he takes her hand. "Shall we do this together?" He asks her and she smiles to him. Their hands are together and it makes her want to hold him forever. Nodding her head, the young Queen stares at the place that she can just feel is the right place. Somehow deep inside her heart she knows the right words to the spell. Though she has heard them a couple of times but she feels as if she just knows it and knows what it means.

"Ignis flammae venice portae tuus porta" They begin to chant together. Their hands still holding tightly together and they never want to let go of each other. Their love shining through one another. "Ignis flammae venice portae tuus porta" They say again and chant it over again as the ground begins to open up and the familiar golden staircase comes into view. A smile forms on the young Queen's face as they stop chanting when it has opened up. She looks up to meet his crimson red eyes.

In silence the two of them walk towards the stairs and go down it. Her fire dress lights the way, not that he needed any light but her human eyes cannot see in the dark but then again she might not be human after all. Memories of their first visit in this place flashes before both their eyes and how far they have come since that time. So many things have happened in only a couple of weeks yet now that they are together and their love is stronger than anything they can defeat all that threatens to destroy them.

Soon they make it to the opening of the cave and like always she is the only one that can walk in there. Hades waits by the opening while he watches the girl walk inside the cave with a smile on his face. The cave looks the same, the crystals and the lake that bring her memories does make her giggle. She sits down by the edge, making sure her dress doesn't touch the water itself. "I can never believe how much beauty this place holds" She says more to herself than to Hades and it's the truth. Each time she's there she's met with the beauty over again.

Memories of her other visit with Luna also comes into mind and she remembers the promise that she made to herself and to Luna and she will do whatever it takes to uphold that promise. "Remember when you told me how you met my father?" Hades asks her as he had made himself comfortable by the opening of the cave, knowing that he can't enter that place. "Yes" She answers and looks at the man she has fallen in love with. "He is here in Hell" He tells her.

Her eyes widen and she turns to look at him, not just her head but her whole body. The air is thick around them as he said those words. "What?" She softly asks. She had met his father when she came back before, it seems so long ago it there only have a couple of hours passed and the pain that followed is one sh truly wishes she could forget. "I can feel his presence here. I'm surprised you cannot feel it too. Though, you are still adapting to this world you have yet to discover how you can feel every force that is in this world" He tells her.

Arabella's eyes furrow in confusion as he speaks. They fact that his father, the man that she met in that white world is unreal to her. She knows he is powerful but she doesn't know just how powerful. "What could your father be doing here?" She asks him. Thinking back to his words, about how he said that she has not discovered to feel others in the Underworld but she does feel something, only she ignores it for it's not a comfortable feeling inside her and doesn't want to feel it.

"That I am afraid is a question that I cannot answer for I've not seen my father for eons. Perhaps it is time to reconnect with the man that gave me life but also the man that did indeed exile me and never cared for me at all" Hades says, the anger in his body wanting to release itself but when Arabella walks over to him and touches his face, cubs his cheeks and makes him look at her, his anger just washes away like it was never that all. "How about we find out, he cannot be here for no reason. I suppose it would do not harm in seeing what he wants" She tells him with a soft smile on her face.

The violet eyed girl joins her blonde haired brother as they are walking to the throne room. "Dear sister, it would appear that our father has paid us a visit" He tells her as they are walking together. Both of them equally as confused at the fact that their father is there. "Yes, it seems so. I will take great pleasure in seeing the look on his face when he sees what he has done to me" Luna says to her older brother. The throne room in front of them and the look of evil never leaving her face.

"Sister, as much as I would want you to destroy our father, I believe this is a time where we do not need any more blood shed. It has been enough of that" Poseidon speaks. To say he is not nervous would be a lie for his eyes are on the brink of filling with tears from fear and terror of seeing his father once again but he must remain strong. That is what is expected of him and that is what he will do.

He opens the door of the throne room to see the man that they call father, only he is not even a man at all. He's a creature that is unknown even to his five children. He stands in the middle of the throne room and turns around to look at Poseidon and Luna who are trying their hardest to remain calm as it truly is him standing there. "My darling children, it is a blessing to see you" He speaks. His voice filled with calmness like never before and peace.

Luna's anger is boiling as she stalks towards her father but with the wave of his hand she falls down to the ground and is stuck there. "Release me!" She yells at him. The rage inside her begs to be released out of her and attack him but the magic that he has is much powerful than hers. "That is not a way to speak to your father, child" He tells her as he walks over to her. Bends down and goes on his knees in front of her. His hand goes to her face and under her chin where he makes her look at him.

"You shall behave and respect your elders, little girl. Do we understand each other?" He asks calmly yet his calm tone is even more frightening than anything. The girl that believes herself not to be frightened of anything is trembling with fear as she slowly nods her head, the tears picking her eyes as she looks at the ground. "Use your words, Luna, in this time period a girl is supposed to use her words to speak and only speak when spoken to" Her father says. The Underworld does respect the women population and believes them to be the superior but the rest of the world doesn't.

"Yes, we understand one another, father" She speaks. Her response masking the pain and the anger inside her. And she is suddenly reminded of the fact why she is the evil girl that she is today, all because of the pain in front of her. He throws her on the floor and lets her chin go before he stands up and walks over to Poseidon. "Now, my son, I have come here to speak to your brother and that Queen of his. It would appear they are not here, so you two will just have to keep me company while I wait" He speaks.

"Yes, father. What is that you need from Hades?" Poseidon asks, when their father isn't looking he gives Luna a sad assuring smile but he sees the rage in her eyes and how much she wishes to destiny their father right before his eyes but the magic that holds her on the floor doesn't allow her too. "It is not what I need from him, but what he needs from me. For many centuries he's been waiting for that Queen, Arabella" He begins to explain to his son.

"He is about to learn the truth about her" He finally says before he begins to walk over to the thrones. Walking up the steps until he reaches the thrones that stand there. The King and Queen thrones and then Luna's that is a bit further back. He touches his son's throne with his hand. "Father, what does that mean?" Poseidon asks as he follows his father to the throne. The water King is confused yet frightened at the same time. Their father is not one that he would want to cross.

He then moves to Arabella's throne and touches it. "This world is finally stable because of her and now their destiny is being fulfilled one step at a time. This was all meant to be. The prophecy does not speak of it all and though it might not so everything it does know that she is the rightful Queen and the world will bow before her" His father speaks. Like Poseidon, Luna is confused and has no idea what their father is speaking of. The magic that kept her stuck to the floor releases her and she stands up.

Just as the door bursts open and the ruthless Devil of Hell has entered with his Queen by his side. The wicked grin on his face is there to mask his true emotions that he feels now that his father is there. "Father, what a unfortunate surprise. The door is the same way you left and I would like it if you used it to leave my kingdom as you have no authority here. This is my kingdom and I will not allow you to rule here as you do every other world" Hades speaks. The anger inside him is almost bursting out like Luna's.

Arabella watches how the tension is thick in the room and how the three siblings are angry at the man that she has only known kindness from. She has not forgotten the time that she herself met him and he was kind to her. Showed her the way and told her how he still cares for his children, even if he doesn't show it. They might not know but he does care for them and he only wishes the best for them, like he had told her and Arabella knew that he was not lying to her.

"Hades, please, let him explain yourself before you throw your own father out. He is your father and he must be here for a reason. What harm can it do to listen?" She asks him as she takes his hand and makes him look into her fire eyes. Arabella doesn't know it but she is the only one that can tame the beast that is Hades. His father walks down the steps. "I knew you'd take my advice and stay true to your kindness. It is a pleasure to meet you again, fortunately these are better circumstances" He speaks to the young girl who stands beside the love of her life as he ignores the words his own son had spoken before her.

Hades softens when he sees her face and it's impossible for him to stay mad when she's with him. He turns to face his father with a dark look in his crimson red eyes that are slowly darkening. Putting up a devilish smirk on his face as he looks straight at his father with daggers buried in his skull. "Well, then father. I believe it is time for us to have a long overdue talk" Hades tells him.
