It had been over a year since Tenma left with Dohko, leaving Italy to go to the Sanctuary in Greece, and training to become a saint of Athena. Of course this left behind Alone and Pandora, who without Tenma there became Alone's go to person. But Tenma did make a promise to return to Alone and let him finish the painting.
However, Alone was experiencing his own problems. At the church, Alone was experiencing the awakening of Lord Hades. Alone stumbled as he saw himself in the painting. Alone was in black armour and had wings, with a pile of bodies surrounding him.
The blonde haired teenager sobbed at the sight of him in the painting, he was even disgusted by it. Having enough of the painting, Alone stepped back, trying to get away from the painting. However, the same blonde haired priest from before, held Alone in place.
Alone turned in alarm, facing the priest. "Please don't be alarmed. This is a painting of our saviour," soothed Hypnos, while still holding the younger man in place.
"But I..." mumbled Alone, not understanding the priest at all. The image changed to the orphanage, were he grew up. Alone stepped inside, horrified at the sight of the deceased body's of the occupants inside. "Ah!" Screamed Alone. "It was only three days ago that I painted them! How? Was it because I painted them?!"
"Please don't torment yourself, my Lord. Death was their salvation. You should look at the painting," said Hypnos. Then, he conjured another image of Alone, who was happily surrounded by the orphans.
'If death was there salvation... then... I am...' thought Alone as his eyes fell to the floor, staring at the dead body's. He could fell himself slip, something was taking over him but he couldn't stop it. A small cruel smile placed on his lips. "I am Hades, Lord of the Underworld," whispered Hades, eyes turning back to Hypnos. "Its been awhile Hypnos."
Pandora stood in the background, watching with interest at the revival of Lord Hades. She smirked imagining the events that were about to unfold.
*****
Athena and Tenma were standing outside the balcony of her temple. The duo watched the moon change, Athena immediately knew the cause, the awakening of Hades.
Athena went straight to the Pope to inform him what had occurred. They organised a small party which consisted of two gold saints and several bronzes and silver saints. The saints were sent out to go and scout out the Lord of the Underworld and his spectors.

Pandora breathed a deep sigh as she watched the gathering of the spectors. It was a shame about Alone but what could she do against a hot God? But a God nonetheless It was better being a useful pawn than a traitorous one, better to be useful than killed.
She knew that Tenma would be soon coming to the village with his mentor and the other saints. Lord Hades would personally 'kill' the pegasus saint but will be disappointed upon finding out that Tenma was survived as he was protected by Athena's bracelet.
"I have recovered the painting that you have desired, Lord Hades. What do you wish for me to do with it?" Asked Pandora, already piecing together on who the painting was for."Place the painting here and be careful to not damage it," commanded Lord Hades as he indicated to the stencil, Pandora obediently placed the painting on the stencil, careful to follow his instructions.
'He is a good painter,' thought Pandora, looking at the painting. "My Lord what do you wish for me to do now?" Asked Pandora, keeping her face neutral. Her eyes moving away from the painting to Lord Hades.
