Chapter 3
Erebus
Yamizaki's point of view
I woke up in a strange land. There was a girl looking down at me with a little concern. "Do you know where you are going, sir," she asks.
"I wish I knew," I answer, "it would help if knew where I am, though. It would help me figure out what happened."
"You are at the Gate of Judgment," a deep voice says, "in the realm of Hades. My name is Minos. The two next to me are Rhadamanthus, to my left, and Aeacus, to my right." Minos then turns to the girl next to me, "Bianca, you said that your father wishes to speak with him."
"Yes, Minos," Bianca replies, "father said that it was required that Yamizaki Yoshimada come to the palace before he gets judged."
Minos spoke with his fellow judges for a few minutes and then spoke up, "You are fortunate, Yamizaki. Hades rarely calls anyone to the palace before being judged."
"Agreed," Rhadamanthus confirmed, "Hades has been in a bad mood since he came back from the battle in New York. Bianca, let your father know that Yamizaki still needs to be judged."
"If Lord Hades has other plans for Yamizaki, be sure to have him send us a message," Aeacus informs Bianca.
"Aeacus," Bianca says, "you know how my father is, but I will tell him to send you a message letting you know if Yamizaki still needs to be judged." Bianca and I started for Hades' palace. I made sure to stay close to Bianca, I didn't want to get lost and cause more problems.
We were walking for I want to say an hour or two before the silence was broken, "Yamizaki," Bianca asked, "you seem very young to be dead. How did you die?"
"I am not sure," I answer, "I believe I drowned."
"You drowned?" Bianca questions, "Did you have bad parents?"
"No," I answer, "Miki and Sasuke were amazing parents. I didn't die because of bad parenting. I died saving my twin sister.
"Sister?" Bianca asks, "looks like she survived." Bianca smiles and I see how cute she is, but I don't know if I still can fall in love because I am dead, not like it really matters anyway.
We arrive at the palace of Hades, and I hear two girls arguing, "You know, Zoe," I hear one of them say, "I told you nine years ago that I wasn't going to have a man who I didn't know and trust help me with the twins. Besides there was no way I could handle raising two kids by myself."
Zoe sighs, "You are right about raising two kids without help is difficult. However, I don't think that you needed to have a man help you with the kids, Miki."
Miki, that's mom's name. "Is that mom?" I ask Bianca.
"Probably," Bianca answers, "Zoe said that she had a rival for being Lady Artemis' Lieutenant before we died. I am trying to remember what her name was though."
"Was it Miki Kaoru?" I ask.
"I believe so," Bianca replies, "but I don't remember because Zoe said it at Camp half-blood right after I joined Lady Artemis and her hunters."
I am getting tired of hearing the childish name calling the former hunters are calling each other, "That's enough, ladies," I call out.
They look over at me, Zoe looks extremely pissed, "Men have no business in the affairs of Artemis and her hunters," Zoe says testily.
"Maybe not," I reply, "but when my name is said, do you really think I will stay out of the conversation."
"He has a point, Zoe," Bianca chimes in, "besides I don't think Lady Artemis would approve of you two fighting. Besides, hasn't Dad asked you to not fight in front of his palace in the first place!" Bianca was getting more irritated and pissed off with Zoe with each word she said.
I could could see it in Zoe's eyes that she was not about to let this go; however, she hesitated. This Hades person must be the person at the top of the chain of command here, clearly something big must be on if the leader wanted to see me. I am not sure if I could be of any help though. Miki turns around to see me and the look on Miki's face matched the look Sakura had when she saw Prometheus leave the night before everything became crazy. "Yamizaki," Miki says, "what are you doing here?"
"I drowned, Miki," I answer, "I managed to get Sakura out of the plane before the plane started sinking. However, I got stuck on the door and couldn't get myself free before I ran out of air."
"Does Sakura know that you are dead, Yamizaki?" Miki asks me.
"I don't believe so," I answer, "however, I don't think she will be ignorant about my death for much longer." It was clear to me, that somebody wanted Sakura and I dead. I had a lot of questions and so few answers and I still want to know what knocked the plane Sakura and I were on out of the sky. I was running ideas about who to ask for answers. Miki will not have the answers I need. Perhaps Hades will have the answers I seek…
Sakura's point of view
I wake up in an absolute fright, "Please no," I say as I start to tremble, "please don't let that dream be true. By the Gods of Olympus, please let Yamizaki be alive." I say as I start to cry.
Victorialyn begins to stir, "Sakura," she asks me, "are you okay?"
"I don't know, Victorialyn," I manage to say without breaking up, "I honestly don't know." No other words would come. Victorialyn pulls me close and we fall asleep in each other's arms. Sleep doesn't very easy for me after that horrible nightmare about my brother, but I have no way if the dream is true or not. Maybe Artemis can help me understand what that dream meant and why did I have it in the first place?…
Author's note: Hi everyone. This is your Elvengoddess. Ok short chapter this time, but sections involving Yamizaki come to me in the form of dreams. Most of the time these segments with Yamizaki are short. No worries I have a longer chapter on the way make up for the short chapter. See you next chapter.
