Chapter 9

The east wind flew straight into Eros palace undetected and he heard the plans of Eros and how he was going to send Soul to the mortal realm Inorder for her to see her father. The east wind didn't hesitate to bring what he heard to the goddess of trickery, and she herself plotted how she will kidnap Soul when she comes to the mortal realm and give her to Hades as her revenge for taking her favours. So back in the palace, Eros gave Soul a magical necklace and told her to keep the necklace on her neck the whole time because it will protect her from the watchful eyes of his mother when she is in the mortal realm. He also gave her a little flute which she should blow if she is in trouble, and he will come to save her. Eros also told the west wind to look after her at all times and make sure the goddess of trickery doesn't trick Soul with her magic in doing something that may put her life in danger.

Well, the goddess of trickery already knew that the deity of the west wind will be protecting Soul, so she told the East wind to distract him on the day of the kidnapping and make sure he don't notice that Soul was missing until she reaches the underworld. The deity of the East wind happily followed the command of the goddess and because he always hated his brother for being the most liked deity in all the realms, he was going to take that position from him by fighting with him. Eros and the deity of the west wind arrange their plans on taking Soul to the mortal realm and bringing her back safely, while the goddess of trickery plan on kidnapping Soul. Well, the goddess of trickery didn't tell Eros mother that Soul was alive because if she does this her plan on kidnapping the princess will definitely not work out. The goddess of trickery knew that the goddess of love will just give Soul another minor punishment which will not lead to her death. So... by taking Princess Soul to the underworld as the new bride of Hades, she can have the opportunity to take the two favours from her and after that she can give her body to Hades if she is still alive...........

The day Soul was going back to the Mortal realm eventually came and she was really anxious to see her father face to face after so many years. Soul knew that she should be careful when moving around in the mortal realm and not to allow anybody to see that she is alive because if people know that she was alive they will be more convinced that she is a goddess who can come back after dying. So, when Soul was ready to leave, she and Eros looked each other and kissed passionately, then after their kiss the west wind carried Princess Soul from Eros palace to her father palace without being seen by anybody. He left her at the balcony of her room and told her to use the equipments Eros gave her carefully. "I will be watching you from the clouds, be careful princess" the west wind said and then he flew up and station himself at one of the clouds to keep an eye at Soul.

Princess Soul who knows the root of the palace very well didn't find it hard to pass all the guards and enter her father's quarters without being seen. As she enter into her father's quarters, she saw the place filled with liquors, and her father at the balcony of his room wasting himself away with some wines. She called out her father's name, and because he was a little drunk he taught he's daughter ghost have come to haunt him so he started to panic and tried to jump from the top of the balcony but Soul stopped him as she explained what truly happened to her. It took over 2 hours for Soul to explain what happened to her and why she haven't come back to visit the kingdom. Her father was beyond amazed that his daughter a mortal princess was the bride of the god of love and so he fell on the floor to praise the god for saving his daughter life. 

Soul's father explain what have become of the kingdom and how he drinking habits and not having a heir force him to give the throne to his friend, the commander of the soldiers. "It's sad that now that you are alive you can't rule because you need to go back to the god of love" Soul's father said. "Don't worry father everything will be oka...." As Soul was about to finish was she was saying, she noticed that the necklace Eros gave her was blinking. Eros told her that if the necklace does this it means that the magic from the necklace was wearing out and she should immediately call the west wind to take her out of the palace

On remembering this, Soul explain to her father what was going on and why she needs to leave the mortal realm immediately. Her father let her go and Soul ran as fast as she can to the balcony where the west wind left her. She call out his name more than one time, but he didn't come to pick her. Well, the west wind was currently battling with his brother in the sky and he didn't know that it was a distraction planned by the goddess of trickery. Soul who is still in the balcony try calling out the name of the deity even louder, and she even sing but he still didn't come. As princess Soul panic she remembered the little flute Eros gave to her so she took it from her garment and as she was about to blow it, the goddess of trickery appears as a dark Shadow over her back and drag her into it. Soul's scream as she was being dragged into the shadow and the noise from her scream entered into the flute and send a signal to Eros. Eros who immediately knew that Soul was in trouble flew down to the palace with lightening speed, and landed on the balcony were Soul was supposed to taken by the west wind. He noticed that the West wind wasn't around and the little flute he gave to Soul was laying on the floor of the balcony. Eros also felt the Aura of a goddess in the balcony too, and then the heartbroken god with tears in his eyes immediately knew that his love have been kidnapped and he must do, kill or destroy anything to get her back.
