Hey Guys! My name is Mari (Pronounced like Mary) and I love the Goddess Test series! You may know me for my series The Captivity Diaries, but while Kate is in jail, Henry is suffering at home and is waiting for the return of his beautiful Queen. I can't wait for you guys to get pulled into this brand new series: Another Sleepless Night, A story told in the point of view of Hades/Henry during the period of time while Kate is gone. I hope that you love it a lot!

The Leaving
I did not want to walk Kate out, but I knew she would be disappointed if I did not show up. This was too sad an event even for me, the king of sadness himself, but I did love Kate and I did want to see my wife before she left for who knows how long on a journey that would take her far away. How was I expected to see her off when we just saved the world together? It was no longer than a month ago that I had saved Kate and Kate had saved me and we were both very happy. I did not want to say goodbye, but I knew that she had to go off and save the world... again.
I walked in the direction of the portal to the real world, when Kate ran up to me and gave me a huge hug that I was not quite accustomed to. Of course, I hugged her back and she hugged me even tighter. This reminded me of what had happened a few nights ago in Kate's room, for it was important to me. She had trusted me enough to let go all of her feelings and just love. We were so happy together and I was proud of myself for being happy. I would have to wait until Kate's return for another night like that.
"I will miss you Henry! I really will," Kate said with truth in her voice.
"I know you will Kate. And I will be the same way towards you," I said, but I felt like I would break down in front of her. Instead I tried to convince her, "Kate, you don't have to go, I can do this if you don't want to."
"Henry, you know that I have to! Its very kind of you to offer, but I need to do this. Rhea is our only hope! Calliope and Cronos must be stopped forever and I can do this! Ava and I will be fine, she's a goddess too remember?"
"Of course, but I... I... uh... Just be careful Kate. I love you," I sighed. I was tired of fighting about it and Kate would not give in, so I had to let her go, no matter what my conscience said.
I walked Kate to the door, shutting out all my thoughts of doubt and letting her make her own decision.
Once we made it to the portal, Ava stopped me to say goodbye," Henry, I know you are worried about Kate, but she and I will be fine. I promise that I will communicate with you as soon as was make contact with Rhea. Goodbye uncle, we will miss for as long as we are gone. Especially Kate."
For a moment I felt a pang of suspicion. Why would Ava know that they would be gone for a long time? I know that Kate will miss me, but why would Ava know that I was worried? What was happening? But, Kate had told me to relax, so I stopped thinking about all my doubts.
The last words I heard were, "Goodbye Henry. You are my eternal husband and I love you!" She was gone. Kate was gone.
I did not know what was going going to happen, but I had a very bad feeling about this journey.
