Hayden and Mal raced to his house on the Isle making Maleficent shocked and followed them inside as they busted inside. Hayden showed his planning room taking the sheet over the mirror doing the chanting to reveal King Leopold in the mirror.
Mal stared at the mirror with her jaw dropped as King Leopold stared back at her, "hayden how long have you knew about this?"
"Why do you think I never told you why I disappeared before leaving to the Island of Titans?' Hayden spoke staring at Mal who was so shocked she couldn't respond.
#flashback#
Hayden was in the Underworld minutes after King leopolds death as the titans kept attacking the Isle. He woke up in a armchair confused, staring at Hades.
"I see you are finally awake son." Hades commented as he looked his reflection on the mirror.
Hayden saw that Hades let the ember on his table unsupervised as well as the door of souls kept opening due to the titans unleashed on the Isle. Hayden ran towards the door taking the ember jumping with it on his hand inside the pit of souls, looking for his mentor's soul. Hades panicked looking for his son thinking he would die in there until he noticed the ember was gone.
"Hayden... " king leopold stared at him as he left the window for the world of the living.
"Let's get out of here! Your daughters and wife will need you." Hayden shouted dragging the soul with him as the ember was shinning really bright burning his hand. He got out of the pit opening the door with the ember. Hayden seeing his father attacked him with his eyes glowing bright.
"Hayden Stefan!" Hades defended himself but Hayden didn't want to listen and kept fighting against his father. Hades out of envy was about to destroy king leopold's soul when Hayden pulled it and dragged it inserting it inside of the mirror. "What have you done?" Hades facepalmed and then saw his son in tears and on his knees. And not to show his real emotions he vanished to another part of the Underworld crying.
Hayden left the ember where he found it and dragged the heavy mirror all the way to his small place in the Isle, he curled up in tears. Then King Leopold revealed himself.
"Ouh boy if I only knew half you must going threw your head right now." King leopold smiled as Hayden finally let his emotions out.
"I wanted to save you but I only did worse." Hayden cried all curled up in his old bed sheet.
"You'll only do worse if you stay here and cry for me. Go and fight with the Originals end this madness. You are the protector of the Isle of the Lost. Go ahead boy. I am safe and only come back here when the Isle is safe from those monsters!" King leopold shouted making Hayden get up and jump off the window letting Cerberus out growling like a beast echoing around the Isle along thunder. "Get them boy!!!" King Leopold celebrated listening to the growl slowly fading away.
"I envy you Leopold. At least my son listens to you." Hades stated staring in front of the mirror.
"Your way of approach to make your son listen to you is quite questionable." King Leopold spoke solemnly staring at Hades with a straight posture.
"I know what you have seen... this time I won't blame Hercules for my jealousy of you becoming the father I always wanted for both my kids. When you accepted your daughter breaking the law for being in love. I felt a terrible father that would do anything so his son would not replace him as Mal did. A useless man she said about me her father to her brother." Hades sighed staring at the mirror, "I miss when I arrived the only place I would call home, open the door and see my boy wobbling around the house with the biggest cheeky smile while the only person that wasn't my blood held our little queen of Evil. But hercules decided to make decisions on his own and nearly killed my son, my daughter and my wife. He destroyed my family that was innocent over a stupid attempt to conquer the universe before I fell in love with Maleficent. Hayden would take thousands of years to be born. He should have not been the one to suffer I wish he made his life as easy as Hercules gave to Mal." Hades leans on the wall crossing his legs.
