Hell's Spark

Hades Decree er mission

Phaedra's heels clicked as she walked down the grimy back water streets of the isle. The crystals on her shoe's bottoms glinting in the barrier's light reflecting in a nearby puddle. Phaedra idly wondered what they would look like hitting direct sunlight without the barrier blocking it. She shook the thought away as fast as it had come. It didn't matter. She wasn't leaving her home. If her family in Auradon had wanted her then they would have came and gotten her by now. They knew she had been born on the isle hadn't they? They must have because supplies were set in when Auradon found out that the villains were procreating, but the barrier hasn't opened since.

Finally she reached a gate in the shape of a skull. She made sure no one was around before she pulled her skull key from her pocket and inserted it into the lock. Once it was open she stepped through locking it behind her. Taking one last quick glance over her shoulder at the light around her she descended into the darkness of the mine.

Cereberus's bark echoed around her as she walked along the cart tracks. She avoided taking the bike that hadie and her had made to have fun while keeping out of their father's way. While bike's were usually a faster mode of transport it was a two pedaler and she didn't feel like pedaling extra hard today. Especially since the rust that covered the pedals would stain her tights.

"Phaedra! I thought you were never coming back!!" A small blue demon cried latching onto phaedra's leg coming out of a tiny tunnel that hadie had dug when he was younger.

"I haven't been gone that long, Despair." She lifted the crying demon up into her arms the chains adorning her clothes rattling all the while.

"Yeah, I wasn't worried." A skinnier green demon looked away from Phaedra as she crossed her arms leaning back against a wall the purple feathers on her dress swaying lightly.

"I have a free arm still." Phaedra offered her waggling her fingers.

"Fine, But it's not like I want to or anything." The green one scoffed adjusting her feather headpiece sitting on Phaedra's other arm.

"Whatever you say, Denial." Phaedra shook her head knowing full well that she always said the opposite of what she truly meant continuing her walk to find her father. Once outside his room Phaedra set the two demons down gently.

"Oh, this is going to end so badly! Don't go in there!" Despair pleaded pulling on her blue sheer sparkly tights. "What if he gets angry? You could get smashed to bits!"

"Everything is going to be fine." Denial placed her hands on her hips. "Nothing to worry about."

"You two go to my room, and wait for me. I'll meet you there." Phaedra ordered the two fixing her now messed up tights. It was one of the worst feelings in the world for sure.

"Yes, your vileness." The demons obeyed scurrying off to Phaedra's room.

"You know you keep treating them like that and they might get the wrong impression." Hades commented lifting up his sunglasses wide awake and not asleep in his chair. He slid a hand through his Mohawk. His tone turning to one of scolding. "A goddess should be feared, Love is-"

"Love is weakness, and for the common mortal. Not for someone of our status. I know, I know. Got the concept the first twelve hundred times you've told me." Phaedra crossed her arms leaning back against the wall. "I'm just trying something different with them, yeesh."

"Different? Why-why why you gotta do something different? There's nothing wrong with the old ways." Hades protested.

Phaedra raised a brow. "Pain and Panic couldn't even kill a baby properly on their own. The huntsman the evil queen sent to kill Snow White let her go, Maleficents goons were complete imbeciles that the prince fought through like canon fodder, Iago betrayed Jafar going to the other team and your attempting to tell me that there isn't anything wrong with the old ways?"
