Chapter 5: The Underworld
Astra and the others arrived at Hades' residence and met with him. Astra now realized just how dire the situation was for the Greek Pantheon.
Astra: "But how could this happen? Why does it seem like the Tartarus prison is weakening?"
Hades: "The prison of Tartarus has been weakening for a long time."
Natch: "But why?"
Satya: "Hmm, I once read in a book that Tartarus can weaken if a powerful being is imprisoned there, causing the prison's power to focus dominantly on that single entity."
Hades: "Exactly."
Satya: "Then what kind of creature could force Tartarus to focus its power like that?"
Hades: "They are the two strongest humans in all of history."
Astra: "Humans? Who are they?"
Hades: "Nostradamus and Rasputin."
Astra: "WHAT?!"
Suddenly, the Titan Menoetius appeared, but Hades swiftly defeated him.
Astra: "How do we get to Tartarus?"
Hades: "What do you mean? Do you have a death wish? Powerful Titans are there right now, preparing for war."
Satya: "That is exactly why we must go there immediately. Since the Titans are still preparing, this is our best opportunity."
Hades: "Are you sure about this?"
Astra: "We are sure."
Hades opened a portal for them, and they stepped through.
Hades: "Forgive me, I cannot join you. I must stay and protect my people."
They entered the portal.
Meanwhile, in the human world...
Ralcin: "Where is Vozz?"
Vina: "I have no idea."
Ralcin: "He always disappears without a trace. Sigh... I have a strong feeling that he isn't Vozz, but... he looks exactly like him"
