《Prince of the Underworld》Chapter 12

Haden POV
I stood in the ocean and peered down at Uma. "Show me what you got, big guy!" She yelled. Mal fired at Uma again. Uma slammed a tentacle into my chest but it didn't phase me. All it did was just make me angrier. I conjured two fireballs in my hands and threw them at Uma. Her eyes went wide as she went under water to avoid the blast. She came back up and attack the boat. The yacht moved the to side as everyone unsteadily moved back and forth. "" I boomed thunderously as I opened my hand. A two-pronged bident appeared in my hand before I pointed it at Uma. "" I commanded aiming the gold bident at her. "Haden! No!" Evie cried out. I turned my head to her and looked down at her. That moment of distraction allowed Uma to get a hit in. 6 of her tentacles slammed into me and I lost balance before falling into the water creating a giant tidal wave. There were screams from the yacht as I hit the floor of the sea. I saw the yacht rising into the air as it was taken by the tidal wave. I reached out and grabbed it gently before setting it back down on the water. I stood to my full height slamming the bident into the ocean floor with a scream.
"" I roared as I let go of the bident leaving it in the crust of the ocean floor as I walked to Uma. I reached out towards her when Ben dove into the water. "Mal! Haden! Come on! Stop! Back down!" Ben shouted. "What are you gonna do, Ben? Splash me?" Uma asked. Mal lowered herself to hover above Ben. "That's enough! It's got to stop. This isn't the answer. The fighting has got to stop. Nobody wins this way. We have to listen and respect each other. It won't be easy. But let's be brave enough to try. Uma, I know you want what is best for the Isle. Help me make a difference." He said outstretching his hand towards Uma. Uma extended a tentacle towards Ben and dropped a ring into his hand before turning away and descending into the water. Ben swam back to the boat as Carlos and Jay let down a ladder so he can climb back up. The others helped him inside and congratulated him as he was given his crown. Mal transformed back as she landed back on the boat in the same dress pictured in the stained glass portrait.

I turned around and walked to the bident that was imbedded into the ground causing the earth to shake at each step. I grabbed ahold of it and pulled it out of the ground and made the gold weapon disappear. I turned around to look down at everyone that were staring at me. I closed my eyes as I looked to the sky as outstretched my arms. I began to glow as I was enveloped by a ball of fire. The ball of fire snaked towards the yacht as I transformed back into my normal self. I fell to one knee as my eyes went from glowing bright blue back to their normal light brown. I was no longer wearing the other suit but instead a pitch black silk tux with neon blue velvet accents, a electric blue silk tie and black button-up, a flaming neon blue skull and crossbones embroidered onto the back. I was wearing black pointed leather shoes with blue laces. I wore my sapphire ring on my right middle finger. I got to my feet and looked around when everyone began to applaud. "I think this belongs to you, Your Highness." Carlos said holding the Underworld Royal Crown. I grabbed it and placed it on my head. "So...I had no idea that I could do that." I breathed before I watched Evie walk Mal towards Ben. I zoned out as I leaned against the edge of the yacht and stared out at the moon.

If you’re reading this. Not cool Dude! Or Dudette. Hashtag Resist. Seriously though, it’s not nice to read other people's diaries. Yes, it's a diary, kind of. The only men who call their diaries journals have an issue with their own masculinity I think. Well, I guess I can’t be too angry, considering if this is in anyone else’s hands I’m probably dead. Or I lost it. I lose stuff a lot. Since you’re here, regardless of the reason, I guess I’ll tell my story, such as it is. I know, why tell my story when I could tell you about the Fall of Killianor, or the story of when Micha the Bold banded together with his underdog group of misfits to destroy the Pallantine Regime. Hell, even the tale of Tulsa and Gran’s star crossed love affair would probably be better. If you don’t think so after finishing this you more than likely have poor taste. Weird taste, at any rate. Hello RR! Welcome to the greatest work of fiction you will ever read! ... .... Did you believe that? Cause its not. At all. This is my first work that I will have published in any fashion, and to be completely honest is more to gain practice for my real story. That is not to say I do not care about it. I do. I will do my best to finish it in, if not satisying, at least a conclusive manner. I will warn you however that updates will be infrequent at best though chapter length will not be under 2000 words. I work third shift currently, and at over 40 hours a week I do not have much time to really devote to this at the moment. I DO have an outline for the novel complete, but currently only about 5 actual chapters written and edited. There will be mistakes, including grammar and continuity, plot holes, etc.. If you see these please either comment or feel free to message me directly, and I will get it updated asap. Aside from a fledgeling authors mishaps, expect to find a somewhat comedic slice of life, with a mish mash of xianxia and western fantasy themes, tropes and the like. There will be some gore, network tv levels of sexuality, and absolutely no harems. There will also be COPIUS amount of swearing and drug use and while I said there would be no harems already he may find people in polyamorous situations. I hope you enjoy this, and as a last aside I beg of you not to rate it super low without justification, and if you give a bad rating please leave an actual review so that i know what I need to work on. *Original cover as of 09/01/20. Mishmash of stock photos and edits. HAVE FUN!
