The calm and quiet atmosphere filled the air as Will wanders off by himself into the nearby woods. He slowly walks down a steep hill, walking further away from the campsite where no one could see. He jumps down and makes his way to a tree covered in moss. A lady soon appears after moving her head, blending in her surroundings perfectly. She walks over to Will and holds his hands gently. She observes him carefully as she smiles. "You've been picking at them again." She confronts Will about his nails as she lets go. "Yeah.." Will answers softly. "Your to hard on yourself Will. You always have been." She responds while Will looks at the tree with a tunnel in it. "Don't be nervous..just be truthful." The woman reminds him as Will nods and slowly walks towards the tunnel that was glowing red. As they walk through the tunnel Will sees a whole community there, surrounded by a bond fire

He calmly steps on a stump as they all stared at him. "I want to ask you a favour." Will asks softly as the three people sitting on their stone trones nod. "There's this satyr named Ash and she sacrificed her life before she could meet her fate...any chance a god would want to reincarnate and claim her?.." Will proceeds as they all looked at each other with a blank stare. "Actually, there is a way. But it requires Persephone.." A guardian spoke up as the rest nod. "Anything." Will responds as his surroundings glowed around him. The sky turning dark green and grey. "From the darkness and shadows from the Underworld, given a second chance of life. I, Persephone, claim Ash as controller of ghosts, lurker of shadows. Renamed as Ashlee, claimed by Persephone. Ashlee, the claimed daughter of the Underworld's queen." The voice echoed through the woods as a strong wind blew almost everything. A beam of light shinned down onto a stump, Ashlee soon appears from the light as it faded away. "ASH- I mean- Ashlee!" Will shouts as he runs and hugs her. "What are you doing here!?" Ashlee yells as she looks around. "You were claimed and reborn. Persephone has decided to give you a second chance. Don't disappoint her." The guardian said as Ashlee was too stunned to speak. Ashlee was wearing the camp attire, she was in perfect health. She looks down and screams as she saw human legs. "WHAT THE FUCK." Ashlee screams as Will shushes her. "What? Never walked normally before?" Will sasses her as Ashlee rolls her eyes.
Chiron and Mr D were playing cards by themselves happily. "Sooner or later, you're gonna have to choose." Mr D chuckles as Chiron looks at him with a calm face. "Sorry to interrupt. Is now an okay time to talk?" Will rushes in and looks at Chiron and then Mr D. "NO." "Yes, go ahead Will." Chiron interrupts Mr D with a stern look. "It's Sally Jackson. I think I know what really happened to her. I never seen a minotaur crush a human to death but, I just..I assume they'd get really squishy? Or something, or like..like an old banana, maybe?" "Will." Chiron tries to chime into Will's explanation. "But she evaporated, like a monster would. So I- I went to the Cloven Council, and they had actually heard of this happening before. And that, when a mortal is really close to death, Hades himself can reach out and-" "Yes, we know." Chiron answers. "But you, haven't told Kim anything yet?" Will asks. "No. No one is gonna tell her anything." Mr D responds in a cold tone. "I'm..but doesn't he deserve to know the truth?" Will tries to justify his point but was immediately shut down. "Will, the truth can be very dangerous if it isn't handled carefully." Chiron answers. "I don't wanna lie to her, and I know Ashlee wouldn't too." Will replies in a nervous tone. "Ashlee?.." Chiron and Mr D both looked at Will as he signals someone to step into the room. Chiron and Mr D's mouths dropped open when they saw Ashlee standing in front of them. "You asked Persephone to revive her!? Do you know how dangerous that is? Especially when Kim's mom is literally held captive by Persephone's husband!?" Chiron said angrily as Mr D shook his head. "There are powerful forces at work here, boy. Forces that have laid waste to the Earth before, and are close to doing it again. So, you don't wanna lie to your little friend? Too bad. I suggest you steer clear of her then. Because you will say nothing to her about this. Do you understand?" Chiron commands Will and Ashlee with a cold glare as they both nod slowly.
