Hey guys! I want to start quickly, but before that, read the IMPORTANT Question I have at the bottom. Let's get started!

"Now," he continued, grinning. "We shall see if my dear Bianca should go to Elysium or the Fields of Punishment."


"Now," he said to me. "We must summon the three most important and influential people in your life. They will judge where you will reside for the rest of eternity." Hades clapped his hands, and three faded ghosts appeared behind them. One was a short plump man in a stereotypical chef outfit, an elegant woman in an all-Chanel outfit which showed off her shapely figure perfectly, and a tall gawky man in an expensive suit. They were monochrome, even their features. They stepped forward. "Alfonso" he shook the chef's hand in a friendly matter. "Maria..." he said when he saw his beloved star- crossed lover. They awkwardly shared some form of a hug, and Maria let go before Hades. Bianca was not aware of this due to her memory wash at the River Lethe. But if they could blush, Bianca knew they would both be scarlet red. "Gregorio"." Hades said as if he was annoyed. When Gregorio walked away, he bumped Hades' shoulder. A wicked smile stretched across his face as Hades clenched his fist. All of them seemed to know Bianca from their facial expressions; Alfonso joyful; Maria nostalgic; Gregorio bitter. "We shall decide where Bianca will go." Hades said. "Rhadamanthus, you may start." Hades rose from his obsidian throne, while the other two men rose from their seats. Everybody stood in line with Hades, so Bianca quickly got up and stood next to the man whom Bianca had mistaken for a homeless beggar. He chuckled, and placed his hands on her shoulders. He pushed her opposite Hades.

Rhadamanthus began talking. Again, his striking blue eyes analysed her. They were blue like the unnamed boy from her dreams during the quest. Bianca never told anybody about this, for she was afraid of being shamefully exiled from the Hunters. Or even worse, suffering an exruciating death. Neither sounded like good options to her. But the way he analysed her reminded her of Annabeth; she had seen a photograph of her from Percy's pocket while he was sleeping. He drooled a lot."My Lord, I think that this young heroine is eligible to go to Elysium. The poor thing deserves it for the sacrifices she has made."

"Thank you, Rhadamanthus. Minos, you may state your opinion." Hades stated.

"I think this weak hero must go to the Fields of Punishment." he replied.


The whole room was deathly silent. He had said hero with such sarcasm. The aura of death surrounded Bianca, since she was a demigod of Hades in the Underworld. The temperature dropped suddenly. Rhadamanthus wrapped his robes tightly around him. The three ghosts hugged their arms. Bianca breathed in, and white frost came out. Icicles formed around the feet of Hades. His hands were clenched into two fists. They became so pale they were almost blue. A flickering green fire burned in the eyes of the god. Snow started falling from the ceiling. It was like a Winter Wonderland- minus the 'wonder' part. Fear entered Minoss' eyes. Hades raised both hands and closed his eyes. Suddenly, his hands were around his throat. He started choking, golden ichor leaking down both sides of his mouth. Purple bruises appeared on his neck. But Minos calmed down, but still strangling himself. He realised that this pain was only temporary, since he was fists unclenched and relaxed. He took a deep breath. "Thank you, Minos. But the most important opinion is of the three souls."

"Elysium" Alfonso said dramatically.

"Elysium" Maria said in a strong Italian accent.

"Meh. She did some bad things during her stay at my hotel in Split, but I guess she should go to Elysium." Gregorio replied as if it wasn't a big deal. Bianca was overjoyed, as well as everyone else. Alfonso & Maria hugged. Gregorio was more modest and clapped corners of his mouth again tugged at his face. Rhadamanthus stayed modest and shook Bianca's hand. He then patted her head, then sat down on his throne and put on his reading glasses. He was reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Only Minos was miserable, slumping on his throne.

The noise died down soon. Hades spoke. "Congratulations, Bianca. You have achieved Elysium. But you, yourself must make one last decision. Do you want to know your past, or just move on?" Bianca thought for some time, but eventually came to a conclusion. "Yes, I would love to know my past." Hades raised his hand, like he had done with Minos. Bianca became terrified, reviving the horrid sight of Minos strangling himself. Hades really did have all power in his realm. But instead of strangling herself, she collapsed to one side in agony. It had felt like a hot needle had been embedded into her head firmly with a hammer. But she felt so cold. This caused more pain than the piece of shrapnel had caused during her death. Soon, this burning sensation occured several more times. She flinched each time. Memories started to enter her head permanently, even the faces. Before, the faces in the documentary of her life had been blurred. Withing a few minutes of the memories entering, she had known 10 years of her own life. The pain subsided, and she got up. She almost fell down a couple of times from the dizziness. She ran to Maria and hugged her. She was her mother. She hugged Alfonso, the kind baker who had given them free bread in Split. But she slapped Gregorio. "Thanks" he admitted. "I needed that." The three figures disappeared slowly like morning mist.

"Time to take a joyful tour of Elysium!" Minos said sarcastically.

I'm sorry this is short. Cba to write a lot, plus I have homework to do. I also apologise that I keep re-uploading some content. I spot mistakes sometimes, plus I also do this when the document life is like 10 days. I'm struggling to think of a character for Bianca's foster parent(s) because I'm struggling to think of one. But if I think none of the entries are suitable for my story, I'll make one up. Also, please write a review! I need tips on how I can improve my story.

Q: Should I keep updating each Saturday, or take a short break WITH NO REGULAR SATURDAY UPDATES but post 10+ chapters with around 2000-3000+ words. Private message me for the reply please :)

Have a great day/night wherever you are! :)
