Legend of the Immortal

Denial, Hate and Other Afflictions

Trinity Hub.

Belle was at her home, the Trinity Hub.

The central trading point for only the most outrageous people where virtually anything was purchasable.

They come here to intermingle with others planets and to receive blessings from the deities'.

"To understand my feelings...I must understand myself! I finally get it!" Belle shouted.

Calling one of her closest friends, Hestia, Belle finally revealed her intention of calling her.

"I need to understand myself so could you ple-" Hestia hushed Belle with a finger.

"I understand. I'll talk with them and we'll figure it out for you." Hestia replied.

"Thanks..." Belle replied.

Hestia, who was walking out, turned her head and smiled,"If we can't do such a little thing for our master, and more importantly, our closest friend, how can we face you as a master and a friend?"

Belle looked down on the floor and murmured a quiet 'thank you' which Hestia caught.

She smiled and walked out.

-----

A few days later.

Belle was lazing about on her bed, reading a few books when Hestia barged in and shouted,"It's done! Come quick!"

She pulled Belle's hand and brought her to another side room where inside, there laid a hundred doors exactly.

"This is what we, the deities have come up with! A hundred of us containing the biggest portion of your personalities have made a trial each for you to pass! If you can make it through all of them, I can guarantee that you'll understand yourself through and through!. Step up to the very first one!" Hestia said excitedly.

Belle walked into the portal and was transported to a world similar to the previous Sun realm she had been in ages ago.

Only this time, the heat was hotter, there were no cities and the screams of people were filling the air.

A man wearing a suit, dressed smartly appeared in a puff of red smoke, a devilish grin on his face.

"Welcome! Welcome! Hades greets Belle, his closest confident and master. I have formulated a trial for you to pass. This trial will be about accepting the past and overcoming it. Are you ready?"

Belle smiled,"Yes."

"Very good! I shall explain. This trial consists of three screenings of the most painful things you have gone through. All you need to do, is to accept it and you will pass. First up!" Hades shouted.

Belle saw a screen appeared before her very eyes.

It was the sight of August being beaten nearly to death because of her.

Her heart grieved at the sight but she stood steadfast, not breaking, nor crying.

"August wouldn't want me to cry because of him...I have her now...I have her now..." Belle whispered as the screen shattered into pieces like fragile glass.
