Dead Lights

Chapter 2: Going Back

My face slammed into a pillar as the marble broke around me, I really didn't care I'm getting antsy. I turned my wings down swan diving into the arena a few feet away from Jay. My wings perched up as I landed this time remaining on my back. I stood up straight and tossed around my hair getting it back into place.
"Kid you could have just used the door.", said Jason pointing towards an open mind you wooden door."
"My bad I was in a rush, not really in the mood for small talk, words not really work too much."
"Ah that's right your fallen angel wife is expecting ok what do you need?" Jay asked sternly.
"Two things one, " I winded up my fist basically falcon punching Jason back thirty feet to the other side of the arena a hole forming in his chest his still-beating heart dangling visibly. I ran over to Jay picking up my guardian bringing him back to his feet .
"Sorry I needed that it's all a lot to process."
Jay shrugged
"No worries bitch boy. You knew I could take it so uh what was the second thing?" he said looking at his chest as his body began to restitch itself back concurrently.
"Liking the efficiency Jay, that's what I like about you right to the point, so...."
I clapped my hands together.
"Portals are closed I wanna visit my Earth friends and try to get away from the I'm gonna be a father shit plus I got to pick the godfather."
Jay looked offended.
"Whoa whoa Ima stop you right there kid, why can't I be Godfather, I'm immortal remember?"
"Nope sorry dude you were my Godfather so therefore if I die you kind of already failed."
"Alright fine guess that answers that, kinda. So you want out during the winter season now I've got to warn you. The shutting was a spell created by Hades so there is a way but its not what you think it is and its like suicide to attempt this and and even if you do pull it off you have one month Underworld time to open your shit back up oh and if that's reasonable enough to you still in your own best interest you have got to be back here before the last leaf falls off of Hades' blood-red oak tree or you won't be back for two years."
I stared at the sky taking a moment to breathe that Underworld air, sometimes it is still a little harsh on the lungs so I'm glad Kat added a respirator what would it mean if the crowned prince of Underworld couldn't breathe his own air.
"So Jay you're saying if I miss this I won't see Angel for two years?"
"Two years's there time five ours."
"I'd miss the kid...no I think I can make it what do I have to do."
"Ok Kain if that's what you want I don't know much kid but I do have a name the only way out is to master one-dimensional travel."
I was confused and held up my arm showing the walk line tattoo.
"kid that's a key to it you gotta make your own door anyways I've got better shit to do so unless your hear to train get the fuck outta here ya little shit oh by the way they're called deadlights."
I walked down into the city part of Underworld looking around make my own portal. I put on my cloak and disappeared into the roads full of talking walls bustling demons, floating rocks and bright neon signs. There's only one guy who would know about ancient Underground knowledge.
I walked into a bar ordering a scotch.
"actually make it two."
I slid one down the bars smooth purple stone countertop a black glove caught it attached to white leather as he brought the glass to his chapped lips.
"zhat vas delicious"
"Fuck you Ivan"
