"Fire feels sorrow like all beings do"

The roof comes crumbling to the ground as Fire Raven lands on the ground near Arabella. All but the King and Queen fall down as Fire Raven's head is in between the two of them and is ready to strike at anyone who tries to even touch the Fire Queen. Screams echo through the throne room as stones and rocks start falling from the ceiling and even when there are immortal beings there, they can still get hurt and they can still die. Luna is the first to stands up but dust is in her way and she cannot see.

None can see what is happening around them. Hades takes the hand of his love to keep her close to him and out of harms way even when the Dragon is also there to protect her. Dust and dirt swirls in the air and some of them are even coughing from inhaling it. Arabella looks around with her fire eyes to try to see anything at all, but all she sees are shadows and she has this dark feeling inside her, a feeling that screams at her that things are going to go sideways from this point on and she doesn't know how or why or even what will happen.

Thalia stands there in shock of what has happened yet is quick to find the love of her life and hold onto him, the feeling of knowing that someone is about to fall prey to death only grows stronger. Figuring that the one that will kill will most likely use the dust in the air to their advantage and murder the one that shall die, knowing this she tries to see everyone. Seeing if someone attempts anything. She doesn't know who will die, yet can only pray that none will fall. Her feelings tell her that either Helen or the man that calls himself God will die yet at this point she doesn't know anymore.

A blood curling scream startles everyone and everyone tries to see where that scream came from. Arabella and Hades are the first to find the one who did scream and once Arabella sees why she gasps. Tears form in her eyes as she goes on her knees to hold the person that is dying. Helen. She has a knife in her chest and that knife is going to kill her, and she will not heal. "I did that right thing" She whispers over and over again.

Both Arabella and Hades are confused at that but as the dust is slowly clearing away they see what she meant. A but farther away from her lies God, dead. Arabella, not knowing what had taken place in that short period of time is both shocked and confused and even sad. "You did it and we shall be forever grateful" She whispers back. Helen might have tried to kill her and she was the one that married the man that she loves, and she tried to take everything away from her.

Yet, Helen was also a human and she was also someone who had a life. The human in Arabella feels sorrow and sadness for the dying woman in her arms. As everyone gathers around Helen everything becomes blurry to her, she can't hear a word that people are saying as she is only focused on Helen. Knowing that she will not be able to safe her, not now. It is not until that Helen takes her last breath that she is taken back into reality where Hades picks her up and hugs her. The dust is clearer and she can see her Dragon, she can also feel the pull towards him.

Perhaps it is for the best that she doesn't know what truly happened yet she wonders what Helen did for now Hades' father is dead and the God of the world is dead, that does shock her. This whole thing shocks her to the core. There has been so much death around her, yet then again she is the Queen of Hell which is the place of the dead or at least the sinners. Arabella is only a fifteen years old girl and has seen more death than she should at this age.

Without knowing it she starts walking over to Fire Raven and when she looks into his identical fire eyes, she feels calm and relaxed. Somehow he is helping her deal with the feelings inside, the feelings that she doesn't understand nor know what is. "I had to protect you" He says in her mind and his voice does comfort her in ways that no one thing can do and as her hand touches his scales and strokes them, she feels calm run through her like never before. "I know" She whispers back to him, her voice only meant for him to hear.

The tragedy that happened was one that she doesn't know how to deal with and she doesn't know what she will do next or what to believe. The man that she used to believe was the image of goodness turned out to be the most evil being in the world. It doesn't make sense in her mind, she can't understand how God was evil and perhaps she will never know the truth, or perhaps she will find that out as she does everything else. Arabella knows now that she can wed the man that she loves yet the cost that came with it.

Not knowing if she will be able to live with that or not, she turns around to face the man that she love, as he had been standing behind her. Keeping her safe even when the danger has passed. "How did she do it?" She asks him as she looks at Helen. Seeing everyone gather around the one that saved them all, mourning her death. Even Luna, who is trying her hardest to be good, for Arabella and for herself. "He gifted her the abilities she had, only she could kill him, I do not know how yet I know why" He answers her as he takes her into his arms.

"She did it for us, in order for us to wed and have a happy life as husband and wife and as King and Queen" Arabella whispers and he nods. Knowing that Helen will cease to exist, she will not come back to the Underworld as a Demon, she does not exist anymore for her soul has been destroyed. But she knew that and she knew the sacrifice that she made and what would happen if she were to sacrifice herself in that way.

When the roof had collapsed and the dust was everywhere, Helen stood before him with the weapon in her hand, unknown to her she was not the only one that was planning murder. "The future has no place for a human like you" He speaks to her, taunting her and the tears are running down her face as her grip on the weapon tightens. Yet the stone she knows will not kill him but she knows what will. As her grip continues to only tighten on the rock in her hand she draws blood that leaks down to the floor yet she does not care for that.

"It does not have to be" She answers back as she walks over to him. He attempts to back away from her but then he stands his ground as he holds a knife. "One nick and your soul will forever be dammed to no longer exist" He threatens her as he holds the knife closer to her. Helen knows very well that that knife will do horrible things to her yet she has to do this, she knows deep down that she was never supposed to live this long and she was never supposed to be the Queen.

No matter how much she had wanted it, she was never meant for this life. She was meant to live like a normal human and she was meant to die a mortal death, not marry the King of the Underworld and become its Queen. Her eyes find Arabella through the dust and she looks at her and smiles. She is the rightful Queen and she is his rightful wife. She might have started by hating her and wanting her dead, yet not she wants her the best and wants her to live the life that she is meant to live.

For Helen knows that Arabella will forever be the being that the world needs. "You shall not win" She whispers and before he could even react she pushes the weapon in her hands with full force into his chest. Gasping he falls down death in an instant for her blood was on it and her blood was the key to his death for he gifted her a part of his own spirit. Yet as she did that he was faster and had stabbed her in the stomach with the knife and as the pain takes over her she cannot do anything else but let out a scream from deep down in her lungs.

All she could think of when Arabella came to her is that she will soon be free, that she might never exist again yet she had fixed the things that she had ruined and she has made things right. She did it. She saved the Queen and she saved the King and she saved the world but most importantly, she saved herself. And as she takes her last breath and welcomes herself into the deep darkness of nothingness she only feels comfort and happiness after the kindness that she has done.

Arabella's fire eyes go over to Hades' father to see him dead but she does notice the stone in his heart and she walks over there to take a better look at it. Through the blood she sees the stone in the arrowhead shape and then she looks back at Helen, knowing that she was ready to kill her or Luna or them all but she did not. She did the one thing that no one had expected her to do, and she did it knowing that she would fall for it.

Sighing Arabella goes over to her brothers and hugs them. Wanting nothing more than to wake up from the nightmare that has taken over her life, yet she does not want to wake up from this. There is so much death that she has seen and witness and she feels that she will not be able to handle it any more, but she is the Queen of Hell, death is the thing that she will forever be around. The two brothers don't know what they can say after seeing a Dragon bust through the ceiling and two deaths.

Though Grayson knows that he is never letting his sister go after this, he knows that he has to protect her. Perhaps that is the Demon side of him that wishes to protect her or the brother side of him or perhaps both but he only knows that he needs to keep her safe. Yet somehow the older twin knows that she can take care of herself, after all she is the most powerful being in the universe. "Forgive me for the poor timing, yet can someone explain how my brother and I are alive?" Jaxon asks.

Luna lets out a chuckle as she walks over to the brothers, yet she feels awkward that she has taken a liking to Grayson and he rejected her, she doesn't know what she should do now. "Brother, explain to these Demons" She says as she goes over to the siblings who are still hugging and Thalia that watches the siblings with a smile on her face. Hades smirks as he walks over to Arabella and pulls her away from her brothers. "You two did not commit a sin, yet here you are and you question how that can be?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

His crimson red eyes look at them with amusement as they nod their head yet are confused. While he has known this whole time how they are in Hell when they truly did not commit any sort of sin in their lives and the answer is rather simple. "Your lives were connected when my sister killed you and because your lives were connected you both died and were on your way to the world after death other known as Heaven yet not long after you died your sister, Arabella touched one of you" He speaks.

"Without trying to she brought you back, her magic gave you life once more. Your souls were taken back and brought into your bodies but because the mortal soul cannot live for a long time in the Underworld without dying, her magic did the only thing she could do to save you" He finishes and it all makes sense to them, they finally know how they came to wake up after dying and they now know why they are Demons. "Why did it take so long for them to wake up?" Thalia asks as she takes Jaxon's hand and stands beside him.

The love that she feels for him is undying and it is eternal. "The connection was severed" Arabella speaks, finally relaxing what truly happened that day and how she did. "I touched Jaxon but it was not for a long time and I assume to bring a soul back takes time" She says to them all. Poseidon who was in the room walks away from them for he knows that he has done all he can now and he also needs to go back to his love for she will not be pleased if he is far away from her in a long period of time, then again she can't stand him.

Fire Raven looks at them speaking and if he could smile he would for the Queen is finally safe and everything is all right, all danger is past them and hopefully all the death is now finished. Yet, when it comes to the Underworld there will always be death. Taking his leave, he flies away but knows that he will soon see Arabella again for their connection is only beginning and they have forever to go. "I wish to bury her" Arabella speaks as she turns to look at Helen.

Feeling sympathy for her but she does also feel pride and happiness because she finally accepted who she was and she did the right thing, she followed the path to light and she sacrificed her life. Arabella will make sure that her sacrifice will never be forgotten by a single person. "And we shall" Hades tells her as he pulls her even closer to him. "And then we shall get wed as I have been wanting since the moment I held you in my arms as an infant" He speaks and she rolls her eyes but the smile is still there.

"That does not count" She tells him. The six of them share a laugh as she says that. "You two are made for each other" Luna speaks and then the courage builds up inside her as she goes over to Grayson and she pulls him in for a kiss. Shocked, he kisses back and pulls her towards him. "If you are lucky, I might kiss you again" She speaks after she breaks the kiss and backs away for she is not one to go for the second kiss right away, in truth Luna has never been with anyone.

The feelings she feels for Grayson are confusing and she cannot wait to tell Arabella about them yet she does know that Arabella knew about her feelings long before she did. "I suppose I shall have to grow rather lucky" He whispers and as Luna and Grayson leave together, Thalia and Jaxon are not long behind them. Leaving the King and Queen together in the throne room. Guards have already walked into the room and took the bodies away and are preparing Helen for a burial that will soon take place. "Before we are wed, I wish to meet my father" The fire eyed Queen speaks.

She has never known her father and soon she wishes to meet him and she wants to meet him before she will belong to another man, then again she has belonged to him since she was born. "We shall go after the burial" Hades tells her as the two of them walk up the steps towards their thrones. The feeling that runs through the young Queen when she sits on the throne is unlike all that she has felt and she will never grow tired of it, knowing that she belongs on that throne.

He takes her hand as they are seated. "We are free to wed not, I would have thought you would have married me on the spot by now since you have been wishing it since you took me" She says with a soft smile on her face, joking of course. Hades chuckles as his crimson red eyes run over to her with amusement. The young girl making jokes with him hands come a long away from the girl that she used to be for when she sat in that throne and begging to go home the first time that she met him, that girl is long gone.

"I suppose I have gone soft as they say" He speaks and she giggles. Now that things are calming down they will be wed soon and when they do, he cannot wait until he has finally claimed her as his, and she will be his, fully, soon. That he will have to wait for, though he wants to make sure that the young girl is comfortable with the whole thing. "Yes, I believe you have gone soft, you do not yell at me any more" She says with a smile, clearly remembering the same moment that he did.

"Perhaps I did not go the appropriate approach that day" He says and she playfully glares at him as she sits on the throne, she raises her eyebrow. "Not go the appropriate approach? Hades, you yelled at me and I was scared" She tells him and he rolls his eyes as he takes her hand and kisses it. "But you love me now?" He asks her and she can't help but smile at him, knowing that she does love him, more than she could even explain. "Yes, I do love you now" She answers. Now that evening crazy is over their lives can finally begin, but we know better than that.
