It had been 15 years (to the day) since Gregor and Luxa had been to the Underworld. Luxa had been queen, when Gregor had came down, it was (although she didn't admit or show it) love at first sight. She had come up with Gregor on his last visit to the Underworld. Every so often she would send a letter down to Vikus (her grandfather).

"Gregor?" Luxa said while washing dishes. Gregor looked up from his volume of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. "Yeah?"

"I want to go back." She said, and then she braced herself for his reaction.

"What?" Gregor couldn't believe what he was hearing. They were happy in their little cottage, they had a life that didn't involve killing things on a daily bases!

"I'm really sorry, but," She couldn't say anything more because she was sobbing for the first time since 2 years ago when she found out that Aurora (her flyer) had died in battle. Gregor ran over to try to comfort her.

"It's ok," Said Gregor as he knelt next to her, "We can go back for a few weeks." At this Luxa just sobbed harder, Gregor knew it wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to be home, her home wasn't here; it was the Underworld. All he wanted to do right now was give her what she wanted, his parents had died from a car crash 5 years ago, lizzy and Boots were somewhere in northern Lithuania, so there was nothing keeping him here. But if he did leave what would his friends think?

It had been two days since that incident, and in that time Gregor had devised a plan, a clever plan. It would look like Gregor was caught in an explosion! The plan was simple( but brilliant), Gregor would have one of his friends set a time bomb in his house set to go off after Gregor and Luxa were safely hidden underground.

The plan was going smoothly so far, Gregor was about to set the bomb when, "are you sure you want to do this?" Asked Luxa who had walked in soundlessly. Gregor took a deep breath, "Yes, yes I am."
