Once Upon a Dream

A Meeting with Destiny

Underworld

The hair was no more flaming blue and did not sparkle as it used to, as did the eyes that took on a look, which in his opinion were too mortal. These factors seemed superfluous next to the feeling of weakness he felt. He never knew what it was like to be a human, generally they were thrown into the river, and when this happened they no longer had their bodies full of weaknesses and limitations. Pain, this he knew, however, not physical pain. From his new hair to his toenail, everything hurt intensely

"It's your body, it needs to get accustomed to this new nature." Hestia who was the one to safely carry him away from Olympus saw how exhausted he looked. "Hades, I want you to know that not everyone agrees with Zeus."

"What's the use of talking like that now, little sister?"

He scoffed, even though even to speak hurt.

"Do you know I've never come here before?" she tried to draw a subject, as he put away his few things "It's an interesting place."

"Who will take care of here?"

He asked worried about the kingdom he had cared for so very long.

"I don't know yet, really." He might never have loved living there, but Hades knew that the Underworld should be taken care of. "You don't have to try so hard." His sister warned seeing how hard it was for him to stand, "You can take it easy."

"Hestia, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, of course."

"Let me see Moros."

His voice was barely coming out. The strength that was still in his body was fading. However, even though it was like this Hestia heard the request well.

"Hades..."

"I have lost everything, there is nothing left for me. Let me know at least what awaits me."

"All right." Her brother would stop being a god, that being so, what danger could he cause her or anyone on Olympus? "But, let it be short."

Isle of the Lost

"I don't want to see him and you know it, why make me?"

Mal complained, as she walked around the Island not sure which way they were going.

"Because I want to have peace again." Rashid grumbled. Internally he wanted to use his powers, but he couldn't do that now, which was a real shame. "You complain too much, why don't you think about what you're going to say when you see him?"

"You have nothing to think about, I never thought I would meet him."

"I doubt it, we always want to know where we came from."

Walking around the Isle of the Lost was almost like unraveling Wonderland, except that no one was smiling, everything was gray and the sun didn't shine.

"I am the daughter of Maleficent what more should I want?"

"Question, your mother who banished him?"

"No, I believe not, if she could she would have killed him long ago."

"What about you? Have you ever wished to kill him?"

"No, how can I wish to kill someone I don't know?"
