Chapter 299: Tartarus
"Arsene!" Melino? hastily shouted, rushing to my side. Circling me, she sighed, "Thank the Stars. If Nyx knew I lost you, she would have killed me."
"Kinda hurts you were more worried about crossing Nyx than you were about my life."
"But of course, do you have any idea how hard it is to pacify Aunty Nyx? She is a monster when she is angry." Melino? justified grinning from ear to ear. "The was a time Zag and I snuck into her room to play and ended up fighting one another. when she returned and saw the devastation, she had us roasting in a pit of flames for ten years."
I genuinely have no words for that. What the hell is going on in the Underworld? I know they are immortal, but that seems a little excessive.
Coughing into my palm, I waved towards the faceless, for him to bring me Mimir. Gripping his silver hair, I turned to Melino?. "Come on, take us to Tartarus. I want to speak with Hephaestus and the Titans."
Scrunching her ashen brow, Melino? snorted, "Father may be helping you, Arsene, but meeting with the Titans will not happen. He has no love nor trust for those things."
"Exactly why I believe he will help me. We also need to be quick," I lightly said, turning to my faceless, "There will be some fools apparently coming to our kingdom. Ready the pits, and how is the list of demons and Devils that shown since I was gone?"
"Twenty Demons so far, your grace. They appear to hold a deep loyalty for both Lilith and Ezra." Said the Faceless lowering his head when he spoke. "As for Devils, none have appeared as of yet, apparently from the words of the demons, the Princes and Kings are fuming slaughtering everyone who they deem traitors."
I will assume Asmodeus is doing nothing more than watching. He seems like a devil who remains silent on many matters, simply watching those around him dig themselves into a grave.
"Good, then have them situated. Also, I need to be brief upon my return of the situation regarding the War." I said as Darkness blanketed both Melino?, Mimir, and myself. Fully entering the Shadow Realm, I was greeted by Night, leaving nothing to be seen or felt.
"Give me a minute," Melino? solemnly stated as a powerful Magic, unlike Qi, began to overflow from her body. Feeling an ancient power slowly cover me, I waited while Mimir began to speak.
"To think I would be able to see the power from the Plane of Oblivian." He stated as the Darkness around me began to feel a little threatened. "Amazing to think Hades loved her so."
"Plane of Oblivian?" I repeated, hoping for an answer.
"Sorry lad, I am afraid I do not know much about it, just that it\'s found within one of the Twelve Plane. It\'s a rare essence that was lost since the Great Change." Mimir stated as our bodies began to fade away from the Darkness.
Widening my eyes, the scene around me began to shift and change. And with a snap, we appeared within a magnificent castle. The walls were lined with the finest material of scarlets cloths engraved with the emblem of a decrepit Helmet, with an odd emblem of a strange cross. The Cross was pointed at the bottom like a fang, and while the top layer a crescent moon layed up. Resembling a trident with only two forks.
Suddenly the echoes of growl resounded into my heart, sending chills from the pits of my soul. Slowly turning around, a scarlet beast with three heads and a muscular body covered in fur growled. Taking a sniff, the other two heads bared their fangs as a thick saliva began to trickle over the ground.
"Good luck!~" Melino? sweetly said, waving as a cute giggle exited her lips. She left vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Wanting to curse, I remained still as Cerberus\'s ruby red eyes sparkled with hunger. Raising my hand that was gripping Mimir, I quickly waved it like meat. "Come on, boy, you hungry?"
"Arsene, you bastard!" he screamed in tears as Cerberus sniffed him!
"AAHHH, PAPA!" A voice I had not heard in a while echoed as a small bun leaped upon my head, rubbing her cheeks against mine. "PAPA!!!"
Hugging the little girl with one arm, Ty giggled, "I missed papa, Cerb say hi to papa!"
"Woof!" Barked Cerberus, licking me to my surprise. Noticing the fear within its eyes, I smiled, knocking Ty upon the head,
"Was someone a bad girl!" I asked, watching the little Dragon nod without shame.
"The Baddesst, just like Papa wanted!"
Giving a menacing smile, I patted her head. Did Hades think I would forgive him for killing me so many times within the Shadow Realm? Fuck with me, I fuck with your dog, although I can\'t explain how I was able to die and still be alive.
"Now does Ty know where Hades has the Titans locked up?"
"Now Now Arsene, no need to ask for death," The shady voice of Thanothos said, sending a chill down my spine, "You would not want to anger the King, would you?"
Twitching my lips towards the incarnation of Death, I sighed, "when did you arrive?" I reluctantly asked?"
"I am Death itself; I can be anywhere at any time. An with the souls of the dead being everywhere within the Underworld, there is no place I cannot go." Thanatos gloated, placing his lifeless eyes upon Ty, "and you, Little Dragon, should you not be in school, I would not like to tell mother you skipped due to your father visiting."
Gripping me tighter, Ty gazed teary eyes towards me, "Papa!" She called out for help. Yet with the eyes of Death glaring at me, I turned my head... This bastard was also one to kill me quite a few times.
"Ty darling, go to school. I want my little girl to be the baddest and the smartest. Ok?" I shamelessly said, patting her head singing inwardly.
Taking her hands, Thanatos smirked, his long dark hair rising as a mist of Darkness covered Ty and himself, "Will be seeing you soon, Arsene. I quite enjoy decapitating you."
Clitting my tongue, I sneered, "One day, you fucking prick. You are lucky your mother is Nyx," I muttered, watching them vanish in a vortex of darkness.
