Chapter 11

"Where...Where am i?" Soul struggles to talk as she slowly open her eyes. "What is this place?" Soul said feeling confused, and wondered who took her to this bedroom with roses all over the floor and  of the bed.

She also saw some terrible and strange imagines of demons in the walls of the room which can frighten any mortal. "How did I get here?" Soul who was not too afraid asked herself and then slowly get up from the bed and walk to the window to get some fresh air in order to think. "Oh great lord!!" Soul screamed after getting to the window and seeing what was outside. "It's this place hell? I am ready died?" Soul ask herself and started to panic. "No! I can't stay here" Soul said to herself and head straight to the giant door in the bedroom. 

On getting to the door, she realized that the door handle was cafted in the shape of a snake, but that didn't bother her because at this point noting scares her anymore. "No! I need get out of here." Soul said as she opened the door with full force and rushes outside to the hallway of the strange building that she found herself in. "Why is the place so scary?" Soul ask herself and walk straight through the hallway of the strange building, holding herself tight and praying that no demons will come outside from his hiding place to grab her. 

Princess Soul saw some light in the end of the hallway and ran straight to it. She eventually ran into the room filled with candle light and realised it was actually a huge throne room just like that of her father's. "Wait! father!" Soul shouted as she remembered her father's place and also him too. "I see you have woken up!" A man's voice shake the palace as he spoke. "If you want to kill me, just do it now, I am already in hell" Soul screamed back at it with all her might. "Who said I want to kill you?" The voice said and a man appeared in the throne far from where Soul was standing. "Who....who are you and how did I get here?" Soul ask the mysterious figure. "You talk too much....." The mysterious man said and vanished from his throne to where Soul was standing in a heartbeat. Princess Soul was frozen with fear and didn't know how to react to what just happened. "Please don't kill me!" She said while closing her eyes in fear. "Hahaha, why will I kill you when you are a gift from my father, and also the must beautiful woman I have ever seen" the man said as she hold Soul's hand. Soul open her eyes after she felt his human hands holding her's and she then look up to see he's face. 

"What!... what are you?" Soul asked as she see a tall handsome man with long black hair, red color eyes, and short black horns, coming out of his head. "You ask a lot of questions" the man said as he carried one of soul's hand and put medicine in it. "You didn't even notice that you were bitten by the snake handle in the door" He said as he slowly pour the medicine in her hand. "You know, the bite from that snake doesn't bring pain to it's victim at all, but it kills them by damaging their organs slowly." The man explain what the snake handle can do to Soul as he continue treating her. "Enough please, how did I get here and why is this place like hell?" Soul ask desperately as she withdraw her hand from the medicine the man was giving to her. "This place is the underworld not hell!" The man faced is palace and shouted while carrying his hands up. "If this place where hell, you will be hearing noise of people being tortured by our demon slaves and all that nonsense" the man added as he drop his hands. "This place is far better than hell or my father's palace because this place is mine palace." The man said, feeling really proud of himself. "Okay! But how can I leave I need to go back to my father and Ero....." Soul said as her memories about Eros came back to her. "My father did said I should give you the blood fruit so that you can forget your life as a human and be bond to the underworld, but I refuse because I don't want a puppet who I need to think for." The man said. "Okay! Thank you about that, but please can you let me go" Soul ask him. "Sorry about that human, but I don't think I can do that because you are my bride now and you have to do anything I ask you to do" The man said. "What do you mean by anything?" Soul ask feeling scared. "Hahaha! Don't get me wrong human, am not going to force myself on you, but you are going to fall in love with me again" the man said. "What do you mean by 'again'?" Soul ask him. "Forget i said that!" He replied her immediately.

"You are going to be my human bride who will stay with me in my palace because I am really lonely in this place." The man added. "Why don't you find someone apart for me" Soul begged him. "Well... You are the only human bride I have gotten who isn't a puppet and also you are very beautiful" The man said as he turn back and face Soul. "So what's your name?" The man said as he lean to close her. "It... It's princess Soul" Soul tells him. "So that's your new name now!" The man said while moving his mouth but not saying any word.

 "So you are a princess that's a plus" He said to Soul. "What.... What's your name?" Soul stammer. "Well, I have been called many names like Sin, hatred, greed, Destruction, envy, corruption, but the name given to me by my mother was Zagre meaning god of hate and all things evil." Zagre told soul. 

"That was a lot of names" Soul said to him. "....Okay! god of hate, can you help me get out of this place I really want to see my father and my real husband again. I miss them" Soul said as tears drop from her eyes. "Don't worry I am going to make you want to stay here" Zagre said as he conjure up a cloth in his hands, and gave to Soul to wipe her tears. "You don't get it!" Soul shouted as she hits off the cloths from his hands. "I don't belong here, and I can't live without seeing my father or Eros again." Soul said with anger in her eyes. "Nockni!" Zagre said a spell and Soul immediately feel asleep. She almost fell to the floor, but Zagre got her with his arms and he hold her tight. "I will never let you go again Dusa" Zagre said as he hugged Soul.

IN HADES PALACE........

"Father I have Dusa but she don't remember anything about her pass life as Dusa" Zagre said to his father as he sat in his palace for a drink. "You know she was reincarnated to a human, of course she wouldn't remember anything about this place." Hades enlighten his son. "Okay! How fast can we make her remember me and the life we shared together" Zagre ask his father in desperation. "You know the fruit that was suppose to restore her memories isn't yet stolen by my minions, so you need to exercise patience" Hades said to Zagre. "Why don't I fly over their and take it from the mother of Fate garden myself" zagre said in anger. "We talk about this before boy. You will do no sure thing!" Hades shouted at Zagre. "....Doing that we only compromised our plans and we wouldn't be able to defect the upper gods and take our place in Olympus" Hades said while raising one of his arm up. "Okay father." Zagre said. "So where is human?" Hades ask. "i place a spell on her, and she is currently asleep" Zagre said. 

"But how wonderful that the reincarnation of Dusa, the goddess of lust and my dear wife actually came back to us" Zagre said in excitement. "Yeah! But she didn't came here by her own free will, she was kidnapped and brought her by the goddess of trickery." Hades revealed to his Son. "What! Where is she, I will kill her for that!" Zagre said in anger. "No no no! Son you don't have to act rashly" Hade calm him down. "....I am guessing this was all part of the prophesy, and am pretty sure the goddess of trickery didn't know that the human she kidnap was actually the goddess of lust" Hades said to himself and laughed. "What's that father?" Zagre ask. "Noting Son, just wait for the prophesy." Hades said to himself and laugh even more. "What prophesy is that dad?" Zadre ask feeling really curious. "just wait son, just wait." Hades said. "Okay father whatever you said" Zadre said as he stand up to leave. "You are leaving? Hades ask. "Yes father, my sleeping spell will wear off and I don't want soul to wonder off my palace." Zadre said as he's black wings appear in his back and he flew off. "The prophesy is at hand boy it's all up to you!" Hades said as he watch his son fly out of his palace. "Don't fail me, or i meant....." Hades mumbles to himself as he watch Zadre fly away.

HADES' POV

Since the beginning of time, they were always competition for which god is the strongest and who should rule over the universe. My brother and I fight for the position, but I failed because I wasn't blessed with the power of a upper god like my brother. Even though I had seniority and should be the king of the all the gods, he took the throne with the support of his fellow upper gods and become the ruler of the upper gods in Olympus while I was made the god of the underworld, the lowest and most undermining position any god can have after they banished me.

 "The prophesy will change it all, it will change it!!" Hades shouted to himself. "That witch brought a human girl as a gift to me without knowing that she was actually the key I needed to rule the upper gods in Olympus and the universe" Hades said and pour wine into his cup which he the   drank. "Lust will always be constant and when hate and lust comes together, the world will be in chaos" Hades added and laugh even more.

They all think they could hold their position as higher gods forever. If they haven't stopped Dusa and Zadre the first time, they both will have help me taken over the whole world and I wouldn't be forever confine to this waste land. "Now another prophesy have come and this time I will make sure that the upper gods are completely destroy by lust and hate" Hades said as he laugh with all his might.  "Let's me wait for the god of love, things will get interesting soon" Hades added as he pour more wine into his mouth.

END OF HADES' POV

"Soul! Soul! hang on to me!" Soul hears Eros voice in her dream but continue sleeping. "Am coming for you just wait" Eros told soul and disappear. "Please don't don't leave, please!" Soul Shouted and the pain of Eros leaving her in the dream woke her up. "How did I fall asleep again?" Soul said and get up from the bed. "I need to get out of this place" Soul said to herself and walk towards the door. On getting to the door she notices that the snake handle was also there. "Nope! You are not gonna bite me again." Soul said as she hits it of the door with a table in the room. 

Princess Soul opens the door immediately and ran to the throne room. "He isn't here" Soul said with excitement and ran outside the palace. "What is that smell" Soul yelled and then close her nose with her arm. "The underworld is quite scary and smelling" Soul whisper to herself as she slowly walk away from Zadre's palace. "Ah! Look at that fresh human" A huge demon said from a distant after he sighted Soul. "I think we should eat her" the demon said to another one and they both stare at soul. "Don't come close to me you demonic freaks" Soul shouted back to them as she see them waking close to her. "I have to get out of the underworld immediately, but which way is the entrance?" Soul ask herself without realizing that the demons were already closer to her. "Oh! You will taste delicious" One of the demons said as he tries to grab Soul. 

Princess Soul who was already frozen with fear, stand and wait for her death, but Zadres who was flying in the air at that time saw what was happening and came just in time to save her. He slice off the hand of the demon using his finger and then cut off their heads almost immediately. The rest demon who accompanied it ran away after seeing their bravest members dead. "You shouldn't have left the palace" Zadre scolded Soul. "But I don't belong here, can't you see that?" Soul shouted at him. "Take my hands!" Zagre suddenly reach out his hands to Soul. "Why should I do that?" Soul ask in fear. "I want to show you something" Zagre replied her. "No! I don't want to go anywhere with you" Soul said as she turn away from him. "I just save your life, the least you can do is to trust me" Zagre said while still reach his hands to Soul. "Fine!" Soul gave in, turned back to him and gave her hands to him. "What are you doing!" Soul screamed as Zadre drag her close to him and hold her tight. "just relax, you talk to much" Zadre said as he's black wings grow out of his back and he flew Soul far from his palace and the underworld. As they fly through the underworld, Soul could see thousands of demons with different size, shape and colour, fighting and killing each other for food. "It's this place always like this?" Soul ask Zadre as they fly through the sky. "....It's neither day, or night. Why do you choose to leave here?" Soul ask Zadre more question. "Don't worry you will find out soon" Zadre said and he continue flying. 

They eventually got to a place where a single apple tree was, and Zagre drop soul there. "What is this place?" Soul ask Zagre. "Are we still in the underworld!" She ask again. "No we are not in the underworld, there is no life there" Zadre said as he touches the branches of the tree. "We are at one the entrance of the underworld" Zadre revealed. "So I can leave from here" Soul said excitedly as she looks for the entrance. "You can't find it because you need magic to open it" Zadre said to her. "Damn this!" Soul said angrily. "Soul, please tell me have you lost someone before?" Zadre ask Soul as he continue touching the branches of the apple tree. "I lost my world when you people kidnapped me away from it." Soul said with disgust in her eyes. "You know, I once had a wife name Dusa who was the goddess of lust" Zadre revealed to Soul. "She was the one who planted this apple tree and when it grew, both of us will always come to the tree to talk all day" Zadre said with a sad expression in his face. "What happened to her?" Soul ask. "I lost her!" Zadre said. "She died protecting me" Zadre said with a cold tone. "We both almost conjured the world by combining our powers, but all that was stopped by the upper gods." Zadre continued talking. "Am so sorry!" Soul shared her condolences. "Don't worry about that because they was a prophesy that she was going to be reincarnated and both of us will accomplish our dreams again." Zadre said as he turn back and walk closer to Soul. "So is she already reincarnated?" Soul ask him. "Yes! and she is you" Zadre revealed to her as he raise her face up with one of his hands. 

"WHAT!?"
