You woke up. You looked around. Your surroundings didn't seem normal. Instead of being in the busy city of ancient Greece, you were in the deep, dark, gloomy underworld. The moaning and groaning of deceased echoed around the area, as well did the loud barking of the three-headed dog, Ceberus. You were scared half to death. After wondering around, you spotted three hooded hags cackling together. Thinking perhaps they could tell you what you were doing in the underworld of all places, you approached them slowly.
"Ahem?" you tapped the tallest hag's shoulder. "Oh! You shouldn't scare me like that, dearie!" she laughed. "Who are you?" you asked them. "We're The Fates!" they said. "Past, Present and Future!". As bewildered as you were, you still needed an answer on where you were. "Can you tell me where I am?". "Well dearie, you are in the underworld and the only answer to that is .... you died." said the Present. What?! You died?! You couldn't believe what you were hearing! "I what?" you said in disbelief. "You died. But you always desired a second chance to live. But in order to get that chance, you must agree to a deal with the king of the underworld himself: Hades." said the Future. "Hades?" you thought.
You were still perplexed. How did you die? Why did you want another chance to live? And who was this 'Hades'? "Where can I see him?" you asked them. "Down the hall and to the left." said the Past with a smile.After leaving The Fates walking down the long and dark hall, you entered a room and saw Hades sitting on his throne. He wore a black toga, his skin was a sort of blueish gray and his hair was on fire.... no seriously, his was literal fire. Then, while he was in the middle of enjoying a bowl of slimy, juicy worms when he noticed you standing there. And when he did, he almost choked.
"Who the heck are you?!" he said.
"PAIN!!" "PANIC!!" he shouted before you could even reply. Then, you saw a fat pink imp trotting down the stairs. "Coming, your most lugubriousness!" he said as he was being followed by the scrawny blue-skinned imp who looked like he was about to lay an egg. "Pain and Panic reporting for duty!". "Fine, fine, fine. Just tell me who this crazy chick is and what's she's doing wandering around here!" said the god of the underworld. The two imps took a good look at you. After a few seconds, the fat, pink imp said "She's a new member of the underworld, boss!". "Hmmm... okay, but we still don't know what she's doing here so let me know when the fates arrive.". "Oh! They're here!" said the scrawny blue-skinned imp. "WHAT?!! THE FATES ARE HERE AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!!!" yelled Hades blazing up with red fire instead of his original blue flames. Pain and Pain cowered. "We are worms! Worthless worms!" they sobbed while transforming into worms. You chuckled a bit at this."Fine, whatever. Just call them over here to tell me about our new guest." said Hades.
