Hades - The Black Robe

Part 1: Hellhound (239 words)

I am taking a tour of this city, despite the dark and rocky roof, my domain looks so bright. Townsfolk offers me some bread, but I refuse. Food supply is scarce in Hell, something I am still trying to resolve.

A loud disturbance stops me. In an alley, some red Hellhounds are beating a young kid. He must be a lesser demon or a human ghost. Another fault in my reign, "Inequality!"

"You Bastard!" I stop the punch before one of them could kill him. "What do-do... Lord Hades?"

"You know what death means here!?" My body emits blue flames, as my waist jacket turns to ashes. "Death here means Eternal Void. Zero chances for Reincarnation."

"Sorry Lord, this is a misunderstanding. My boy here says he doesn't want to serve under you despite being blessed with blue flames-" The men stop speaking as my eyes are full of bloodlust.

"Get out!" The men immediately transform into burning dogs and run away. I extinguish my flames and kneel down. "Are you-" the boy grabs his hands back.

"Don't touch me you evil king!!" The boy loudly demands, "I don't want to serve a monster."

I smile and rubs his little head, "Bigmouth you got there!" I offer him some water and sit beside him, "Can I tell you a story?"

"Story of what? How you slaughtered an entire town?"

I laugh and answer, "Why I chose Hell?"
