The Glassy Sky

MORPHEUS: Kingdom of Hell

I saw that Hypnos is hiding something from me, so I tried to confirm if something really is behind the force field that is almost invisible to the naked eye, but I can sense everything that he did. He told me "I won't let you pass. As long as I'm here, you won't dare touch them." So, I summoned a sword that materialized from the shadows in my hands while Hypnos summoned his angelic blade. I know that Hypnos was infamous for killing his enemies when they sleep and that very blade was the one, he used for many centuries to kill unworthy people. "You can't outshine me!" Hypnos said. "I was born in this world long before you became what you are."

"You angels always underestimate humans and their capabilities."

"But you're no longer human, you've became a monster ever since that day you killed an entire city in their dreams."

"I know who I am, and you don't need to remind me of what a monster I've become!" I said. I used my hands to summon tentacles made out of shadow and I was able to fend out the sword from his grip and stabbed him in his heart. Now that Hypnos is dead, nothing can stop me. I took his sword so I can use it to fight as it has powers beyond my capabilities. I know for the fact that angels like him are known to make their own weapon of mass destruction for he himself told me that story when I was trapped in this world. And they even created weapons for the Gods to use, that's the history that he thought me and never expected the history to be so different yet similar to what were thought to us by the Greek philosophers. Now that the force field that he created suddenly disappeared and all my suspicions were right. They were here and they are going to that giant portal in front of the tree. I tried to fly as fast as I can because the portal is shrinking as if it disappears in the thin air. I saw them all holding hands together, so I tried to shoot one of them. They all got separated and I was knocked unconscious because of that nasty dimensional warp. In the moment, I'm on my human form, old aged, wearing a suit and tie. I don't know why, but I'm somehow resting in a castle. "Wake-up my child!" Someone said. I recognize that voice. I think that person might be Hades. I stood up and asked, "Are you Hades?"

"You know me well, but as you know I go by Lucifer now. Funny how humans can change our names throughout history base on their beliefs, but you can call me whatever you want."

"Where am I?"

"Well, technically you're in my room, but you're in hell or the underworld as your knowledge would like to call it, my friend."

"Why are your wings different from when I saw you?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Hades changed his appearance from a tall muscular man with blonde hair and bright blue eyes and he also changed his wings from a bright white dove-like wings that shines light on every edge to dark bat like wings that exudes fiery aura and also turned himself into a demonic like creature that everybody fears. "I can change it to my liking, but I do prefer my old wings and my charming devilish looks. It is what demons fear me after all. By the way, did you get the sword that I asked you to get?"

"No, I tried but they escape me from time to time."

"You mean children manages to escape from you? How incompetent can you get if a mere child can get away from you?"

"I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter, since you're trapped in the dream world then a portal may open-up in a few seconds. It's nice to see you again, my child." Hades said. And he was right, a portal opened from where I stand. And it sucked me back to the dream world. I guess I'll wait for the right time and once they got back here, I'll be waiting. But for now, I'm tired and I need to rest in my castle.
