"What do you mean she is dead?" Joey asked perplexed.
"Why do you think she is in the underworld then?" Mushik asked.
"How can a God die?" Joey asked confused.
"Exactly. God's don't die. They are immortals. They become powerless or get contained. You should reincarnate Isis," Mushik said.
"It is impossible to do that. It will take Eons to do it. Do we have so much time?" Ara asked.
"No. Just five and a half hours more," Joey said checking his watch again.
"Mushi, is there another way?" Joey asked concerned. Mushik pulled Joey's ears from his shoulders, "Mushik," he corrected.
"Mushi, Mushi, Mushi," Joey said playfully and Mushik climbed on his head. He started to munch away his hair.
"No. Not my hair. I spent a fortune for this hairstyle," Joey said taking him from his hair and placing him on his palm.
"We are going to the underworld and there will be fire every side you turn. All your hair is going to burn down and you will become bald," Mushik cursed.
"Thank you Mushi," Joey smiled again and Mushik hit his own head head giving up.
Ara was watching their playful behavior with astonishment. She came near Joey and hesitated, "shall I touch your hair?" she asked reluctantly.
"Of course you can," Joey bowed and she felt his silky hair. She smiled.
"Let us start now Mushi," Joey said commanding the Unicorn to go to the underworld.
"What is this three headed beast like?" Joey asked Ara.
"I don't know. I haven't seen. I have heard it is so fierce and breathes fire from all the six nostrils. Fire hot enough to melt the biggest iceberg in a second," Ara said.
"And it is so ferocious, that it hadn't been won over in ages," Mushi added.
"Is there a plan to conquer it?" Joey asked. Mushi shook its head, "not that I know."
They reached the underworld and Joey saw the fierce beast chained to the gate at the entrance. He jumped down swiftly and turned to Mushi.
"Hide in the Unicorn's mane. I don't want to endanger you," he said.
"How will you defeat it alone?" Mushi asked concerned.
"After all I have the power of thousand elephants. It is time to use it," Joey said and walked forward. Cerberus, the beast was resting when Joey approached it. He took a good look at it.
"Oh my God! It is just a dog," he thought, "I should have guessed it when it was tied to the gate."
"Three heads," he monitored it closely. "There will be three brains which will work in three distinct ways. No wonder everybody failed to conquer it. It will be a triple attack," he thought.
Cerberus woke up sniffing a human. The first head that lifted was the smallest. Joey tried to increase his size. He grew enormously dwarfing the dog. "Attack it," Ara told Joey.

Joey did not listen to her. He started to small talk to the small head, "hi beautiful, I missed you so much. Look how you have grown." The head looked utterly confused and then breathed fire from it's nostrils.
Joey fully expected this attack and guarded himself expertly using the shield. The second head woke up. Joey pulled treats from the air and started to feed it, still baby talking to the first head. The third head too woke up now and his hand started to pat it's head involuntarily.
Ara was taken aback. Even Mushi and the unicorn watched with astonishment. Joey handled all the three heads like a mother handling her pestering children.
"You eat now. No, don't scratch me. Won't you give me kisses. Look here beautiful, you never listen," he rolled with the dog, ran with it, whistled to it, gave numerous treats, petted it, baby talked to it and finally bought it to his Unicorn holding it by the chain. Cerberus was not breathing fire. It was all calmed down and wagging its tail happily.
"This is unbelievable. It is a miracle. How did you do this?" Ara asked.
"Oh it is not even a task. I have three little demons in my house. Lark, Storm and Wolf. I handle them everyday. I just treated all the three heads as I treat my three dogs. They love me. I am an animal magnet," Joey said proudly.
"What happened to using your power and fighting it?" Ara asked smiling.
"I thought it was unnecessary. I would never be able to bring myself to kill a dog. They are the most adorable creatures in the world. Aren't you my darling Cerberus?" Joey asked the dog and all the three heads nodded in agreement.
"You are a half-wit and so is this bloody dog. Now can you make it lead us to Isis?" Mushi asked.

What you think about the way Joey handled Cerberus? I definitely think Wolf, Storm and Lark combined together is equivalent to Cerberus or any other fierce dog in the world? What is your opinion?
