Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was once a wealthy kingdom. This kingdom had a lonely King named Hades. One day, Hades came across a beautiful foreigner named Maria Di Angelo. After months of hanging out with her, he eventually married her. They had two kids together: a girl, Bianca, and a boy, Nico.

The two siblings were the best of friends. They always played together with their parents always around them.

Then she got sick. Maria was eating dinner one night with her family until she collapsed onto her food. The doctor said that she has been poisoned and that there was no known cure for it, she has to fight it and win, or die trying. Hades didn't want to see her in so much pain, but he didn't want to loose her so soon either.

She died when the kids were only at the age of six and eight, leaving her family devastated.

Hades, filled with grief, had many envelopes on his desk filled with wedding proposals from different countries. Even his brother was offering his daughter, Persephone. Hades, knowing that Zeus would never give up and might actually kill any other girl than his daughters, accepted this proposal.

Even after his marriage to Persephone, Hades's mood didn't lighten up around her, though he did seen a little happier when he was with his children.

Nico and Bianca were about 10 and 12 when Bianca died. She was playing in the garden with Nico when she was crushed by a pillar that was knocked down towards her by someone unknown. Her death took a toll on the remaining family members, except for Persephone who feigned sadness since she was never really that close to her.

Sometime later, when Nico was moping in the woods near the kingdom border by himself to avoid his step-mother, he met a boy. This boy had shaggy blonde hair with cerulean blue eyes. You could see that even though he has a slim, lean figure and looks no older than eleven years old (Nico's age) he trains. His name is Will Solace.

That's when it all started.
