We flew under the stars, who knew that the underworld is such a beautiful place when it is at night time? It was like the night sky was reachable. The stars and southern lights were very visible. It was so beautiful.

He was holding my hand, and he still is, while we're flying.

I was gazing up in the sky.

"Who knew that the underworld has such pretty night skies." I whispered.

"I created it for the souls whom loved looking at the stars that Hypnos have made. I decided to give them that." He said softly.

"You did a great job. They are beautiful." I stated. Staring at the moving constellations.

Aquarius definitely caught my attention.

"Beautiful indeed." I heard him say.

I looked at him. He smiled when I met his pierced gaze. I couldn't help but blush. He chuckled.

"Hold me tight love, we must go through Tartarus in order to arrive our destination."

My brows furrowed.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"Somewhere only we know." He whispered in my ear.

I felt shivers as we were now approaching tartarus. Lava dungeons and never ending torture chambers was present. Burning souls were crying. Cerberus was also present. I hugged Hades nonchalantly. Scared that I might fall because the mist wasn't that big. I heard his light chuckle but when I looked at him there was no chuckle evident on his face.

I thought Tartarus was never ending until we stopped at the mountain of Lava. I looked at Hades suspiciously. Is he going to kill me that's why he was acting weird earlier?

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked in a childish tone.

He laughed.

"No love, I will open a portal." He said.

I just shrugged and continued to hug him. I liked the feeling of my body slammed into his. It was a wonderful feeling. His body heat and mine. He chanted words that I can't understand and a portal indeed opened.

"Hold on love."

He said as we dived in. I couldn't help but to close my eyes. I felt the pressure of entering the portal.

"Open your eyes now love." He said as I felt our feet touched the grass.

My mouth gapped from what I saw.

It was so beautiful. It looked like paradise but night time. Magical creatures were flying around such as fairies and pegasus', unicorns and elves. It looked so magical. It was as if we were inside a fantasy storybook. I didn't know that this kind of place existed.

"Wha—how?" I asked Hades.

He smiled.

"A boy can also dream." He replied.

"C'mon. Let's go up on the great tree of life. I want to show you something." He said. I nodded.

We flew towards the tree of life. It was so beautiful. Huge but beautiful. It had golden woods and stems with silver leaves. We flew to the top wherein it looked like a magical meadow of gold yet they're leaves.
