Suddenly I opened my eyes. I don't know where I am. Maybe I'm dead or jus drifting in the water.
I looked around and reality collided with me. I survived. I got mixed up in shipwrecks.
There was an island nearby. I hurried to the sandy shore of the Island.
The sunlight, glistened on the sand. The weather was good. And I was very happy to have survived .
I tought it was a miracle. I set out to look for other survivors as well.
I walked on the shores of the Island. I saw man probably the water washed ashore.
I want there quickly. And I noticed that was Alex.
"Alex wake up we survived." I shouted at him.
"Alex please wake up."
I checked him heart rate. He died because of me.
I was too irresponsible. In turn I am the elder.
Tears ran out of my eyes. I felt like I lost everything.
"This is my fault." I cried myself again.
"Yes it is your fault." A foregin voice spoke.
"Who are you?" I asked the foregin boy.
A thin boy with black hair was standing in front of me. He had a grim expression.
And he certainly was no more than 20 years old.
I tought he also survived the ship accident.
"I'm a Hades." He offered me a hand politely.
"Hades as the god of the underworld?" I asked back in surprise.
Such name is rare that's why she was so surprised.
Quite an exotic name.
"No not is the lord of the underworld only Hades lord of the underworld."
"Of course and I believe that. Okey I don't have time for a such ridiculous jokes.
He now died because of me" I shouted at the boy.
"You know you don't look like a wise and old god. You're just a boy. And the existence of the gods is a mere myth." I told the boy my opinion.
"You don't believe in me in turn true what I said. I am 19 years old in human years but in divine years I very old. I have been alive since the beginning."
He looked deep into my eyes. I read self-confideence and truth out of his eyes.
He has gray glitter eyes, gray and cold like a cliff.
"I still don't believe you." I answered him looking him straight in the eye.
"I know but I prove I promise." He stepped one closer.
He clapped his palms. And with his gesture he killed a butterfly. I tought he's was crazy.
Why did someone hurt a little butterfly? Who is so cruel?
I can't believe there are such people.
The boy took a deep breath. Highly concentrated, he closed his eyes.
All of a sudden everything got colder. As if the wind was blowing.
For a moment everything went dark.
The boy opened his eyes. The butterfly came to life again
"It's a trick?" I was amazed at was happened.
"Oh my god , you still don't believe me?" The black-haired boy asked.
"I believe you just I don't believe you are a lord of underworld. Okey?" I searched his gaze nervously. But he didn't look me in the eye. Just came closer and took my hand.
At that moment it was as if I had reached another word. A slightly darker and more brittle word.
I think souls surrounded us. They were like a fading spell.
It was incredible like a fairy tale with beautiful magic. They hovered around us.
Sometimes they I felt became one with me. It was wonderful.
And an unforgettable experience. Now I know he is Hades the god of the underworld.
Suprising but true. He proved it to me.
He let go of my hand and stepped back and everything I've seen so far is gone. As if it were just a dream but I know it wasn't.
"I can bring your young brother back." Said Hades.
I didn't answer anything. And he continued what he had to say.
"I recommend a deal. I'll bring it back and you help me in return. You will be my ally. We agree?" Hades asked.
And I was just idle. I didn't know what to answer. I didn't know what decision to make.
"You said it, you killed him. And than you owe him that much. Could you live with the knowledge that you killed him? Your own young brother. True, there is no way out of here , but if it were you should tell your parents that he died because you didn't pay attention. Or you could choose my help." Hades raised his voice. Completly hatched by itself. He really wanted me to accept his help.
I thought a lot and I got results.
"Okey, I accept the offer." I declared for fear.
"Smart decision." He smiled kindly at me. This eased the tense mood a bit.
Hades closed eyes and began to concentrate again. The air got colder again.
Hades touched Alex's face.
The lord of the underworld suddenly opened eyes.
He looked at me. He connected his gaze to mine.
"He lives again." He looked at Alex.
"When will he wake up?" I asked even catching Hades gaze.
"When he ready to come back." He replied calmly and ran his fingers along the black lock of hair.
We didn't even talk for the next few minutes. For I was too busy with my thoughts.
"What are you thinking so much about?" Hades asked with laugh.
"Why do you need my help? I mean I'm happy to help I owe you but you are a lord of the underworld. I think there are no boundaries in front of you. Why exactly you need my help?"
I asked the big question.
Hades took a deep breath. He sighed heavily.
"I need Zeus scepter. It is on this island in the woods and you help to get it.
Need your hep because you are special. You are special for you are the only mortal who survived crossing the gateway. You are the only mortal who came to this island alive."
He looked at mine with his deep gray eyes. His gaze scared me and amazed me same time.
