Dance of the dead

[hades]

Stares at the man standing before him. Standing imposingly on the skull throne befor him. Around him hideous specters hissed at the man and flitted about whispering things into there gods ear before floating off. Around them the carrion birds circled lower cawing and cackling in anticipation though for what only they could rightly say.

As for Hades himself he stood upright and rigid against his throne one hand reaches out to pet a crow that had landed on his armrest before shooing it away the othe stroking the hair of his beautiful companion a sign of things to come. He looks up briefly and gives a raspy sigh as dionyssius leaves, pity, he had hopes to speak to the god even of he found him a tad.....annoying at times. He shifts back to eying the man before him his eyes fixing him with a gaze that spoke of horrors witnessed and eons gone by " you have come" he says simply "speak your peice ...and I will listen"

[Damla]

Damla stood there listening, she couldn't help canting her head to the side a little as she saw the man from the forest here and the girl who she had seen before, yes the naiad knew who the girl was but she remained silent about it since she wasn't asked anything. Her dark eyes shifted to the man once more very curious as to what would bring him here this day

She gave Matthias a playful smile and heard her sisters giggle and whisper about how it was nice to see the handsome mortal again

[Matthias]

Matthias approached, standing firm. Hades was not the first of the Olympians he has met and he doubted it would be the last time he met any of them. His was not phased by the god, not entirely. He figured it was because he had seen death many times on the battlefield. When the god spoke to him, Matthias took a step closer.

"My wife was taken from me when our home was burned by an enemy army," he stated. "I have come to terms with the loss of her and the fact that certain entities chose not to aid me and my men, but what I want to l know is my wife is at peace." His voice was strong and firm and he waited for the answer.

[Eris]

Eris disguised as a mortal girl, still hid behind Matthias as she listened, her deep blue eyes looking around at the others gathered as she waited to hear the reply, she always wondered if the god had the power to see into his realm even if he was not there and if he looked this time he would see that Matthias' wife was no longer in the Elysian fields also that the underworld was in chaos

she bit her lip trying so hard to keep her excitement on the inside hoping others would mistake it to be nervousness

[hades]

He says nothing merely closing his eyes extending his will down to his realm. What he saw caused him to grip his throne as the ground shakes around him spirits wailed and darted in the air "WHATTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he roars his eyes blazing with fire "who is responsible for this!" he says his rage manifesting as a aura of shadow

[Damla]

Damla watched the girl hid a small coy smile on her lips because she knew who it was, her shinny dark eyes drifted to Matthias again the look she gave was as though she was seeing straight through him. She swayed a little as she listened to the music

damla then jumped and fell back at the lord of the underworlds sudden outburst, she fell with grace as if she ment to do that. she looked up at him a look of concern on her perfect face "my lord what is wrong?" she wasn't afraid to ask but there was some fear in her eyes.

[Matthias]

Matthias felt something in the pit of his stomach as he heard the Lord of the Dead's outcry. Anxiety, fear, sorrow... anger. It was one of those or maybe it was all of them. This was not what he anticipated or hoped to hear. He was wanting the question to be in vain, to almost get a look from Hades that suggested he was a fool for asking.

"What's going on?" he asked in a low and uncertain voice, as much as he was a little afraid to even ask.

[Eris]

Eris knew he wasn't going to be happy so his rage didn't surprise her and she was sure it wouldn't be long before he found out but for now he didn't know.

the disguised goddess quietly tried to quietly back out of sight and went to hide in the shadows so she could continue to listen and anyone who may have seen her do so would have seen the girl she pretended to be back away perhaps out of fear like any mortal girl would do.

[Aphrodite]

***NPC Character***

Danika emerged from the shadows, her expression one of cold calculation. As she had come into the amphitheater, she had heard Hades' outcry and wondered if her timing was off. She went further until she saw him at his throne, and a soldier before him, a mortal if her guess was right. Not many who were not mortal dressed as a soldier. She tried to listen in. Maybe there was an opportunity for her in all of this.

[hades]

sits back in his throne though his eyes still burned with an intense fire. as he began to calm down his mind began to race, how did thIs happen? Unimportant for the moment, could it be fixed? Yes as few of the ghosts would get past Cerberus an with a bit o work he could easily get the proper ghosts back into elysium. And finally the most important question of all who did this? That the dead god did not have an easy answer too though the list of possible suspects was short.

He turned back to the man before him" your wife is....gone" he say with a pensive look not happy about this at all "she is no longer in the Elysium fields...or anywhere else in the underworld for that matter"

[Damla]

Damla approached his throne tentatively as she canted her head a little at his words, she would try to touch his shoulder in the hopes to help calm him that is if he allowed "i have no douts you will fix the situation" her voice was calm and sweet. she then turned her eyes back to Matthias curious as to how hes going to react

[Matthias]

Matthias could only look forward at first as his mind tried to wrap itself around what he had been told. Once it all started to sink in, he went from a sort of numb state to one of more frustration, disbelief and anger. He shifted his weight as he leaned to one side, his arms crossing over his broad chest as he looked up at Hades.

"What do you mean she is not in the Underworld?" he asked. "If she is not there, where is she and how did this even happen?!" His faith in the gods, already being thin and broken as it was was hardly helped by such a revelation.

[Eris]

Eris stood by a darkened archway still hidden in her mortal disguise, she couldn't help but look over at Danika and give her a smirk, she wondered if Danika would recognize her mortal form as the one that helped the new girl escape, she then returned her attention back to Matthias. the disguised goddess' eye shifted around to each person there, she suppressed a giggle at the commotion it caused but she did have a reason to creating such chaos

[Aphrodite]

***NPC Character***

Danika watched, an eyebrow cocked at the mention of someone not being in the Underworld who from what she gathered, should have been. How interesting that one who had been sent there has managed to leave. Of course she had herself managed to avoid it but this was news. She was curious to hear more.

Looking to see those around her, she noticed the disguised goddess and scowled at her. The way Danika saw it, she lost a meal to this one. A damn good meal too. "You were so high and mighty addressing me, why cower now?" she sneered as she mistook her hiding for hiding in fear.

[hades]

sighs as damalas touch calms him considerably the rag flowing from his body as he settled back in his throne " it seems I cannot go a day out o my realm without someone attacking it someone has attacked the underworld nothing serious thoug it will be a pain to fix " he sighs "as for your wife...I can sense where every ghost in the underworld is at all times ...but I cannot sense her no doubt she wa taken by whatever caused this" he looks over and spies Danika "oh good your here ..we have something to discuss@
