The three made their way through the allys of the isle. Sneezing whenever ther saw or heard another being. The whole way Mal was notably tense and Ben wasn't sure weather it was due to the pain or the situation as a whole. It was a slow move to Hades part of the isle and the conditions were horrid. The housing was in dire need of renovation at best. The streets were dirty and not a plant was in sight. Children were far to thin. The royals were shaken to the core, wishing to help on the spot.

When they finally reached their destination Mal stopped them.

"Okay" she said takeing a big breath "To get into the Underworldyou need an invitation and you'll receive that from me".

She straightened up as good as she could and turned to both of them.

"Hearby I allow you King Ben of Auradon and Queen Belle of Auradon into the underworld" Mal spoke with a firm and steady voice and as soon as the words left the young faes mouth Ben and Belle felt a tingle flow thour their body.

"How much of the magic is actually blocked?" Ben wonderd. He was alwas told that all magic was obstructed on the isle till Mal told them about the spell.

"All but bloodmagic." Mal answered fully knowing neither Ben nor Belle knew what that meant but Mal was preoccupied with her own thoughts at the moment. The young Fae knew that her Mother was a tiny lizard, currently living in an terrarium and cared for by Evie. So she knew her mother could not reach her here a the moment but she still was shaken up by the outcome of her last visit at her dad's.

"Let's go" she breathed out and stepped towards the entrance.

It did looke like an opening to a cave hung closed by some old, ripped and dusty cloth. Mal pushed the fabric aside tho let the tree through. The tunnel was dimly lit with only some light signaling the end of it.

As soon an Mal steppt into the light she shouted out"Hello? Dad! Hadie!" And before she could even finish a litthe blue whirlwind came running towars her nearly knowing her over.

"Malli" he screams, verry happy to see her.

"Hey smal fry. How you doing?" Mal asked her brother. He clearl had grown a bit since she last had seen him. His hair was still the brigt blue you could see from miles away and his eyes the same green as Mals.

Bevore Mal could stop him to ask were her father was the ramling begann. He had to tell her absolutely everything that happened since she last saw him. Starting with is breakfast, going over to the time when he saw a rat steal a piece of bread from a merchant and not to forgett the time Gades nearly burned the kitchen down because he was so angry at the egg that cracked and then dripped down the counter.

Belle chuckled hat the little boy's antics. He reminded her of her own son when he was far younger. Always so eager to tell her all about his day.

"Whats all this comotion about?" A voice coming from a farther corner of the cave asked.

"Dad! Malli is back!" the little boy shouted.

"What. How in the Gods name did this happen. What the hell did she do to get her kicked out of Aurodon! " Now it was clear that the voice belonge to Hades as he stoped into the main Hall of his cave-home. The cave was cozy. There were many rugs littering the floor. And wven some kind of fire place with a worn sofa in front of it.

"Hey dad" mas sheepishly said, grinning at her father. One of her hand was gently laid over Hadies schoulders while the other one was holding her side. The pain of the wound still present.

"Explain now! All of it!" the God of the underworld demanded. He stood there tall, crossing his arms. His hair slightly aflame.

"Well... first of all im not bannded from Auradon" Mal begann while looking straight at her father. Hades features slightly relaxed as if relived that is doughter was not bound ones again to the faith of the isle.

"I'm here to visit and celebrate Hayden's Birthday" he explained. Before going on she took a breath, holding her hand out to Ben who promptly took it in his own. "And I brought King Ben and his mother Queen Belle"

"You did what?!" Hades should. His flaiming hair explodeing. "You can't just kidnap royal! Mal this will surely banish you to the again. You had a future there Malli a now you blew it!". The God was visibly worried. Angry. But worried.

"She didn't blew it." Ben exclaimed while stepping forward and was now starting beside Mal still holding her Hand.

"She did not?" Hades asked, his flameing hair dying down.

"No she didn't" Belle confirmed. She too hat thaken a sep forward. "We are here so she can visit and so we can get to know you."

"You are? " he asked questioning this whole stiuation.

"Yes Dad, we are." Mal laughed. Her das was beeing is usual self protective and suspicious of everting. "But before we gan go to the visiting part I may need some bandages" she continued sheepishly.

"What!" He screamd again, looking like he was about to faint. And before anyone could say anything he rushed into the deeper parts of is cave takeing Hadie with im

"That was interesting."Ben quibbed up.

"Yeah well thats how my Das is." Mal chuckled

"I expected this big and scary man yelling at me as soon as I stepped throughthe door" the young king explained."And insted weg got a guy acting like his kid has just been born and he has no idea what to do"

"Thats one way to put it" Belle confirmed.

"Come on lets sit down it can bee a while till he ise done stressing over and brings the stuff we actually need" Mal told them while walking towars the old sofa.
