"The flames carry beauty as well as death"

Queen Arabella walks out of the room in her pure white dress. The tight-fitting Queen Anne neckline covered with diamonds hugs her body as the sleeves are cape ones that by the wrists take on an ombré color of orange and then it is lined at the edges with small fire shaped rubies. The waist hugs her tightly but she can still breathe. From the neckline there is a slit with a fabric underneath yet it creates a dimension. Lining the edges of the slit are diamonds and they also cover the waist in a fire pattern yet the diamonds are silver yet also transparent.

The shirt flows gracefully down her legs. The front stops just below her knees while the back goes down to the ground and even further than that. On the back of the dress the same ombré affect takes place and from the height of her knees the pale looking yellow goes down to strong yellow to orange that eventually turns into red and goes all the way to the end of the dress. On the pattern, rubies shaped like fire decorate it and form the illusion like real fire is on her wedding dress. She does not wear heels as she doesn't like them very much and goes barefoot.

Around her neck there is the red stone necklace that she refuses to take off as that is connected to her and what she doesn't know is her soul. She carries no rings nor bracelets even when she was offered yet she refused as she finds them heavy and while she does like the jewels and other thing she doesn't want to have too much. Her hair also carries nothing as soon she will be crowned Queen, officially that is even when she along with everyone else recognizes her as their Queen and the Queen of the Underworld as she truly doesn't need a coronation to be the rightful Queen.

A veil covering her head as she walks down the hallways, her eyes standing tall as she goes. Having a hard time even breathing from being nervous yet the nervousness inside her body is slowly disappearing as she walks the hallways. Some would imagine that she would feel even more nervous as she will get married in less than five minutes but she does not. She has never felt better and her body is slowly becoming better than it had ever been before. Luna's words running around in her head.

Her fire eyes begin to flash between fire and black until the black takes over and she walking down the hallways yet her mind becomes blank and a wicked grin comes across her face. Arabella finally makes it in front of the doors that lead to the throne room. Two guards on either side of the doors open it for her and she's met with the throne room that has been decorated for the wedding. Music flies through the room as her eyes stay on one person.

Something inside her doesn't want her to see the beauty nor anything else. She does not even seem to notice the people in the throne room that are watching the wedding and all eyes on her. Not does she notice that her own father has come to her side and has taken her arm and hooked it on his. He says something to her but she barely hears it. All she can hear is the whispers that have come around her and this time they don't hurt, she doesn't feel pain from them now, she feels comfort somehow without knowing why but she doesn't care about that.

Her body moves as she walks over to the man that she loves and she doesn't welcome reality until she is standing in front of him and looking into his eyes through the slightly see through veil that she has over her head. She notices the smile on his face and the happiness inside his crimson red eyes that almost shine with joy. She can see inside her soul and how he feels and he can see the love in his eyes, the love that should mirror her eyes but her blackened eyes can't seem to show any sign of the things that she feels inside her.

Arabella does feel happy, deep inside her heart. Though the feelings inside her are confusing to her, she does know that she loves him and when the darkness inside her wants to take over her, the love inside her balances it out but perhaps that is not enough to stop the darkness as it does spread throughout her whole body and it flows through her veins and poisons her mind in the worst ways possible and there is nothing in this world that can stop it from happening.

Luna, the younger sister of Hades will be the one that marries them as only she and Arabella's father do have the power to marry to people together and there was not a change that Luna would not be the one doing it for her reasons are that she was the one that helped with the wedding and did the devotions (with the help of Thalia who did this alongside her. Though, Luna would not like to admit that out loud) and she stands in between them with a smile of joy on her face.

Just as Luna was about to open her mouth to speak, she notices as well as everyone else that the bottom of Arabella's dress and the fire colors suddenly start to darken and turn pitch black and her whole dress slowly but surely turns completely black and it is not until that the dress as well as the veil turns black that people panic and everyone (which is not that many) are thinking that something must be wrong that this is happening. Hades included as he removes the veil to see what is happening to his beloved soon to be wife and the girl that he has fallen hopelessly in love with.

"Arabella, what is happening to you?" He asks her but he has a feeling that he knows what is happening to her right now as this has happened to him before yet it was not like this that it happened with him. He went through this and he had hopped that she would not have to go through this pain that he had go go through yet now that she us, he doesn't know if he will be able to watch her go through it. However, it doesn't look like she is in any pain at all.

In fact she is pretty calm right about now, a wicked grin plastered on her face and a wild look inside her black covered eyes. "I am better" She speaks, her voice darker and more evil. Never to be heard from the sweet Arabella that is more kinder than any other living being in the world. "Arabella, I do not believe you are. Perhaps we shall delay the wedding" Luna speaks as she reaches for the young girl's hand but she lets out a evil chuckle as she looks at her future sister-in-law.

"I shall marry my love now or I will have someone's head" Arabella's dark and wicked voice rings through the Thorne room and all that are they're can sense the power in her voice and the power in her. The power that can rip apart worlds or give life to worlds. She is all powerful and they feel it and they know it. The power inside her is too great for anyone else and no one can stand against her. "We shall continue on then" Luna speaks though she is unsure of this yet none of them know what to do about this.

And so it was done, Luna married the two of them. Arabella and Hades finally became husband and wife and when Arabella was in sort of a trance because of the darkness inside her, it looked like she enjoyed it and she wanted this as the love for him was always the one that wanted him and it craves him more than anything in the whole wide world which is a large one. As soon as they were wed it was her coronation but she has other plans in mind yet she is not the only one.

Through the crowds that have gathered outside the castle is a woman. She wears rags as most do but that woman is more important that one would imagine and she breaks through the crowd. Her mind set on the castle and getting there as soon as possible. The road there is a hard and a long one for the whole kingdom has gathered outside the castle. Not only to celebrate the wedding of the King and his bride but also to celebrate that the Queen is officially getting the coronation that she deserved the moment that she stepped into the world.

The woman goes past people, pushing them aside as if they were nothing at all as she goes to the castle, not knowing what she will be facing yet at the same time knows exactly what will be waiting for her there. "Excuse me" She says to the people and then apologizes when she goes past them. The castle is within her eyesight and she is so close yet so far away at the same time that it is unreal to her yet she is going there and soon she will be there and she will not stop until she has arrived there.

Arabella walks away from her husband, Hades and she walks until she reaches the doors. Her black dress following behind her wherever she goes and the evil inside her is slowly taking over her mind as well as her body. Her head has cocked to the side as she walks down the hallways of the castle. Her black hair and black eyes mirroring her black dress as she walks. The red stone in her necklace is the only thing that remains of what she used to be before she was like this, evil.

Whoever her bare feet step, the floor darkens to the point of it looks like it is darker than anything, darker than any black color. Vines from right under her feet come up from the ground and go up the walls and go along with her. The vines black and thorns appear that are wine red and sharp. Sharper than any man made sword. As Arabella walks the hallways with Hades behind her, he notices that she may be going to a place that she will not be able to get out of and her mind is growing lost.

"Arabella, I understand what this is and I only wish to free you from this dark spell that pulls you away from me" He speaks but it is as if she did not hear him and she did not. All she hears are the whispers that still echo in her head and she doesn't hear anything else and she follows them, they are leading her somewhere which she doesn't know where but she would like to find out and when she does, she knows that she will have found peace. She doesn't know why she needs to find peace but she knows that she needs it.

Her mind is confused and she has a hard time focusing on anything but the whispers but somehow even when she did not hear the words that he had spoken, she could sense them and understand them. As if her mind had taken the words and rearranged them until she is able to understand. It might not make sense to Arabella now but her mind is maturing and it's becoming something else. More intelligent. "A dark spell would mean I was in danger yet I do not need to be free when no danger has taken me. I am... free" She speaks.

Her voice is still as dark and twisted yet there is something deep inside of it, the person that she was before is still inside there and soon she will be both and it will be the same person. The darkness and the light. Soon they will vibe able to co-exist in the same person. "Arabella, I love you and I cannot allow anything to happen to you. Please forgive me" Hades says before he walks in front of her and takes both her hands and before she could react he puts a chain on both her hands, locking them together.

The chains are ones that he has not used in a long time and when Luna put them into his hands, he knew what had to be done and he knew what was to come. Arabella looks at him with a look of shock yet then it hardens into one of hatred when she sees and feels for the chains. The chains begin the only thing that stops her powers and is the only thing that prevents her from using it. She stops right in her tracks and glares at the man she loves.

Make no mistakes she will do whatever it takes to get out of these chains, even when it means hurting him, hurting the man that she loves and even when there is darkness inside her that she has a hard time controlling, she does feel love and she did marry him for she does love him more than her own life. "Release me!" She orders and not once has he heard her be so angry at him, it does make him feel horrible that she is this angry at him, though he did put chains on the hands of his new wife.

"It is for your safety that I do this" He says to her and she only takes her arms away from him and pushes him out of the way. The chains are making her feel weak, weaker than she has ever been in her life. The betrayal is real to her that he would do something like that to her and she doesn't know why it is. If only she knew what he is trying to prevent her from becoming, he doesn't want her to become the same as he was before, he only wishes to save her.

He walks to her and goes in front of her once again as she walks down the hallways once more. "Take these off or I will do what you wish me not to do!" She threatens and for once in his life he is actually frightened of her, not for her but of her. Arabella is more powerful than him, more powerful than he could ever be and he doesn't know how to deal with that. He shakes his head but then he smirk. "All right, if I take these off then I wish for you to do something for me" Hades offers.

A plan has formed to the cruel King and he knows exactly what to do. "And what is that?" She asks raising her eyebrow but it is clear that she is rather annoyed with him. Perhaps they are not the best newly-weds in the world yet then again they aren't the most normal people in the world either and perhaps this is just their way of starting their marriage. Then again they did things in a different way than most as most people marry when they their parents or themselves have arranged it and get to know one another after that while they did the opposite of that.

"These chains hold you and are the only thing that can make sure no magic is used by you while they are on but if I were to take them off, you would unleash your power into the world. Commanding it and owning it as you want and desire now. However, if I were to offer you something greater, something that even you cannot resist. What would you say about that?" He asks her but she rolls her eyes, though it is barely seen for her eyes are completely black like the raven.

Arabella doesn't need him and she pushes him out of the way, he slams harshly into the wall and then she just continues her way down the hallways, still wearing the chains around her wrists. Though, they do not stop the whispers and they are calling her, calling out to her and now she answers the call with all her might and she will get there, even if it is the last thing she does. Her heart may crave Hades and her love for him is strong but her body needs this.

Without knowing why but she does and she will not stop until she has found what the whispers want her. She ignores Hades that tries to follow her as she walks the hallways. Somehow she knows where she is going when she doesn't know where she is going. The whispers lead her on and they make sure she goes the right way. The vines and the black in the floor stopped in the place where he had put the chains on her but she would not allow that to stop her. Even powerless, she will not allow anything to stop her.

The woman has broken through the crowd and is now in front of the gates where guards hold it and make sure none pass by them but the woman smirks as she waves her hand and they open the door before her yet close when she has passed. Still making sure that none pass. The woman walks down the hallways, knowing exactly where she is going. As if she has been there before and she has. Her eyes look around, searching for something without knowing what it is but as soon as her eyes lay upon it, she will have found it.

The woman walks quietly yet quickly as she is in a hurry and it is not until she has frozen in her tracks that she has found exactly what she's looking for. Right in front of her as she stops stands the two people that she has been waiting to see for a long time. Arabella and Hades are there. Though, the situation is not the best, she does smile at them. "I do hope I am not late" She speaks and both their heads turn to the woman. "Mother?" Hades asks confuses as he looks at the woman in shock.
