"Fire wishes only to serve her"

"Celestial? I do not know what that means" Arabella says to him. She does not understand what she is, then again she has never heard that words in her life before. He only smiles at her as if he is glad for her confusion. "It means... that I was the one that created the prophecy and I was the one that created you" He tells her and her jaw drops open as her eyes widen. Speechless and unsure of what is happening to her. She stands in front of the man that told her that he created her and it does confuse her.

He only smiles at her. "You, my dear, were created to balance the world and the to fulfill the prophecy. Yet, it does not change the way that you are... you are kind and the goodness inside you is true. This is why I had to tell you about how the world was created for you must understand that in order to understand. Though, I do sense you simply don't have the time for that. Now, a celestial being is a creature that God creates yet I believe you would use the term Angel" He tells her and her widened eyes widen even further.

The fires all around the room are still reaching higher but now it is Hades that stands up from his throne and walks over to her and his father. "How hilarious do you want to be, father? Creating an Angel to love the Devil" He says as his hand wraps itself around Arabella's waist and pulls her towards him. She looks up at the man she loves and all the shock and surprise just washes away from her, like it had never been there at all which brings her even closer to confusion.

His father laughs. "Do you still not understand, my son, I do not come here just for the information that I hold but I did come here to finally wed the two of you in marriage. I believe that is what you have been doing from the moment you brought her here but never had the change and then there is your wife which I've already severed your connection to her and the marriage you had with her is no more" He tells his son. Arabella gasps as happiness overtakes her, she would like nothing more than to marry the man that she loves.

Though, she still does not understand why his father would be coming to the Underworld to only wed the two of them. After all they have been through, what she has been through they are finally getting married. It does surprise her and it does bring her shock, though somehow it does make sense to her for even after all the things that they have been through, they still have each other. And their love is still as strong as ever. Perhaps marriage is the best way to express the love that the two of them are feeling inside.

"Do you not think marriage is too soon for us?" She asks, knowing that she is in the right age for marriage, yet even with the love she feels for him, she just does not feel as ready as she would have hoped. Perhaps it is because she is the most powerful woman in the world or perhaps it is because she only now found out she is an... Angel. That changes things for her and there are still so many things that she has to discover about herself and about the worlds. On the other hand she has all eternity for that.

Hades looks down at her, seeing her unsure look on her face. "Marriage will only bring us closer to each other. Do not worry, my love. It shall not change a thing unless how we shall finally belong together like we were always meant to" Hades tells her, and looks down into her fire eyes. His eyes slightly darkened eyes have softened as they always do when he looks at her. "Arabella, love without marriage is frowned upon in this time period, yet I can tell you that there will be a time where a woman can choice who she loves. However, you do have a choice in the matter" His father tells her.

"You can wait for a hundred years before your wedding yet neither of you will be able to seal the bond until you are wed. But you, Arabella can have a say in this. None will force you and if you wish to wait for a hundred years then that is what we shall do. Besides, a hundred years will go by in a second for me" He tells her and grins at the last part. It does put a smile on her face.

She thinks of it for a small moment and she looks with her fire eyes on the throne that is meant to her and then she looks up at the man she has fallen deep in love with and it is love that she can't explain but knows she feels it. "I wish to wed you now" She finally says with a smile on her face. "I knew that would be your choice and that is why I must tell you to go to the dining room for I believe there is someone there to give you away to my son" His father tells her and Hades lets go of her as he knows what she will be met with there.

Arabella walks over to him and stands in front of him. "What about my father? I do not know who he is" She asks him. She does know who her mother is and who she always has been but she has never known anything about her father and perhaps he is somehow connected to him. He only smiles at her. "Your father, was not some man that your mother was with. He is the King of the human world" He tells her and shock takes over her again.

Her father? A King? She shakes her head. "No, it cannot be" She whispers as tears prick her eyes. She can't believe that her father is a King. That would make her a Princess and she is no where near a Princess. True, she is a Queen yet by birth she is Royal born. "It is the truth, my dear. My son can bring you to meet him someday" He tells her and she nods her head, though she's not sure what she just signed up for.

This does not make any sense to the young Queen. All at once she is being told that she is an Angel and then her father is a King. She doesn't understand it. "Why did not want me?" She asks. If her father was a King then she wonders why he never went to get her for she lived poorly her whole life. She did have her brothers with her which does make her rich, yet she had no gold or money. They did not have much but each other. She also wonders if her father knows of her existence.

"Your father did not know you were born nor has any clue that he has a child and your mother faked her death before she could explain to anyone who your true father was. It is rather fitting for you to be my creation for not only are you born of Royal blood but you are born of Hellfire. Make no mistake that I may have created you but you do have parents that sired you" He tells her. Tears are rolling down her face. The fires around the room have calmed down yet are ready to strike when need be.

Hades takes her hand and she looks over to him. "Go to the dining room, there will be someone there that is able to wipe your tears for they will continue to come" He whispers to her and she might not understand it but she nods her head and he lets go of her hand and she walks out of the throne room into the hallways. Her whole life has been turned upside down yet the more she knows the more it starts to piece together. Even when she might not understand it. She is learning who she truly is and that has been what she has wanted all along, that and be with the man she loves.

Her thoughts continue to run through her mind and she wonders about the whole thing. All her life she has been wanting to meet her father, she often dreamed about knowing who he was but she did grow up with her brothers and to her that was enough. She had them by her side and she could not ask for better, they raised her and she is who she is today because of them and she shall forever be grateful for what they have done for her.

As she walks down the hallways she finds this feeling inside her start to rise, a feeling that is unknown to her but she knows that she is about to find out what that is for it is as if she is being taken to the dining room, that the feelings she has inside is leading her there. Somehow there is something there inside that is calling to her and she doesn't understand it but Arabella is about to. Chatter is in the dining room when she stands in front of the doors, unsure what she will find in there.

All Arabella knows that there is something pulling her there and she can't help but want to go in thee. Fear is also inside her and it runs through her bones. After everything that she has been through she should be able to ignore fear yet the young fifteen years old Queen has realized that fear is important. Taking a deep breath she opens the doors and walks inside the dining room but stops right in her tracks when her eyes land on the two people she thought she had lost, her brothers that she believed were dead.

Tears spring into her eyes and they fall down like waterfalls. The fire on her dress calms down and grows colder even as she approaches Grayson, her eldest brother and her hand reaches out to touch him. And as soon as she feels his cheek she knows that he is there, it is not a trick nor any magic. He is just there, in the flesh before her. Her mouth drops open as she doesn't know what to say. Her eyes run over to her Jaxon who stands there with Thalia and she sees the love between the two of them.

"I-... h-how is this possible?" She asks shocked. She might be a creature of magic and now she has been told that she is an Angel and even when she feels nothing can shock her anymore, she finds herself shocked at everything and the world of magic and power never seems to run out of things to surprise her with. "We are Demons" Grayson slowly tells her as he pulls her in for a hug. The fire in her dress does not harm him nor would it ever for she controls it and she can keep the flames away from him.

She does hug him like her life depends on it and perhaps it does. Though she does feel shock, happiness is also something that is inside her and she can't believe that they are standing there before her yet she does feel relief that they are alive. "How?" She asks as they break the hug and she walks over to Jaxon, the younger twin brother and she does the same as she did Grayson and hugs him. The hug meant for all of them as one part of her is unable to believe that they are there at all, that this is only an illusion meant to trick her.

What sin could the two of them committed. She doesn't understand it but nor does she need to, all she needs to understand is the fact that her brothers are now with her and she knows that they are now never leaving her again. She could not bear it, she could never bear her brothers dying again. "We do not know, we were hoping you or that man could answer that" Grayson speaks to her, clearly he does not like the man that she loves.

Breaking the hug with Jaxon, Arabella turns to Thalia. "You are perfect for my brother" She tells her with a smile as she sees the love in both their eyes, the same love that she shares with Hades. "My Queen" Thalia says as she bows before the girl. Even though Arabella is filled with shock she now knows that all of them have forever and nothing can break them apart anymore, nothing can ever harm them ever again. She will make sure of that. The three of them are a family once more and will forever be a family.

"Now, I believe all of us deserves an explanation and there is a man that knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. He told it to me himself only moments ago. We should ask him how this is possible for I know both of you did not commit a sin" Arabella says and her voice is her Queen voice, meaning that they should do as she says or else, though she does not mean anything by it and does not even notice she spoke with that voice. Her brothers feeling the crave to protect her agree and then the four of them with questions in mind walk out of the dining room.

Arabella finds it odd how little she has eaten and barely has lost any weight since she came there in truth she has died a couple of times. The dark hallways are lit up by her dress that still has flames burning and raging all over the place, yet still the spikes and the flames are calmer. "We shall understand this soon enough" Grayson speaks as he walks beside his sister. Thalia and Jaxon in love behind them and do not know of their surroundings nor want to.

The love that they have is on that would make anyone jealous and want to have. "Yes, I believe we will, yet I fear that the answers that we do get are not going to be enough. You will spend the rest of your lives in Hell, a place where you are supposed to be tortured for all eternity. I could not have that happen to you. I love you, both of you" Arabella says. Knowing that as long as she is Queen which is forever there would be no way her brothers would suffer in any shape or form.

When Arabella had left Hades stayed with his father but he did go back to sit on his throne. "Why not seen a letter with your explanation of who she is? Why come here?" Hades asks, eyeing his father. Believing that there is something wrong with him and he does find it odd that his father has just appeared out if thin air only to tell Arabella what she is. His father chuckles and then smirks. "My son, always expecting someone to stab you in the back is not a good habit but you did guess right. I would be able to send a letter or a email or text as people will speak in the future" He says.

Bringing his son only closer to confusion as he raises an eyebrow at him. "If you could do that then what is the true reason behind your visit for I do know it is not to see your children, as much as I believe you love us, you do not. It is truly ironic, how the being that created everything and every feeling that the universe has, is unable to feel emotions" Hades says with an evil chuckle and a wicked grin on his face.

His father rolls his eyes as he grows closer to the stairs that lead to the thrones. "There is a reason that has nothing to do with you or my other children, though it does have everything to do with that young girl" He says and Hades looks at his father to try to figure out what is going on and why he just does not tell him why he is here. "I might be the one that created everything like you said but I do have emotions. After all, if I did not then none of you would be able to" He tells him.

The anger in both of them is clear as the fire that roars around the room. The fire begs to be in the presence of the Queen and wants nothing better than to have her close to it. The fire is alive and breathing and it will stop at nothing to find the Queen and have her there. "And what do you want with her?" Hades asks. His mind begins to think back to everything that his father said to him and everyone else. He needed to get his siblings out of the room, why? He doesn't know yet it is suspicious.

Also the fact that he told Arabella the truth about her father and where she does come from, it does surprise him and one would not think he were to tell him that. It is almost as if his father wants Arabella to go into the human world for some reason. He doesn't know what it might be but if it has something to do with his father, it cannot be good. "I see you have figured my plan out, except for the rest of it. Think, Hades, think" He whispers to his son, but even in the throne room he did hear him.

He thinks for a moment, trying to figure out why his father would want her to go into the human world where there is nothing but chaos, wars and murder happening. The sinners of the world are only growing with every day that passes and it would become fun once they do enter Hell. Then he has the right idea and his father knows that too. He knows what his father has planned for the love of his life. "You plan on using her to stop the violence in the human world but not only that. I know now why you wish us to be married" Hades smirks when he comes to realization.
