Yui wandered down another hallway, looking around at all of the architecture, mouth falling open and eyes wide and tingling with curiosity. The hallways were beautiful, despite all being the same. Her gaze was drawn to the window. She turned on her heels and headed to the glass pane, staring out into the city below. She looked around at all of the lights that glowed in the dark cave, making it seem like a city made of crystals and light. She watched as people moved too and fro below her, watching them move around on the outer areas where she could see.
She focused on a mad by the gates of Hades' mansion as he walked by. Yui leaned in, curiously checking the man's face out. He had a sturdy face with a black beard. Yui's eyes widened in surprise as the man's eyes narrowed in disgust as he looked up at Hades' castle. Yui's heart fell when she remembered that the spirits down here don't care much for Hades and even cursed him with their grief. She frowned at such thoughts and turned away.
"I wonder if anyone likes Hades down here, if he has any friends..." Yui asked aloud as she headed down the hallway on her way to who knows where. In fact, now that she thought about it, she didn't know where she was going... and didn't know where she came from either. She looked around for clues but didn't know what kind of clues she could find. She sighed and sat down. What a disaster. Where was she to go when she didn't know the lay out. She stood back up, shaking her head. This was no time to get discouraged, she had to move and keep hope that she could find her way out!
Yui kept walking down the hallway, hoping to find something, anything that would tell her where she was. Perhaps she could even find Berna in one of the hallway, she seemed nice enough. Yui kept twisting down hallway after hallway, finally finding something. Stepping forward, she found herself face to face with a strange, wooden door with golden handles. It seemed early and looked brand new. Perhaps a new area built or maybe... something had broken it before. Yui gulped, a shiver running up her spine. Still, she marched forward and took one of the handles into her hand and pushed it down. A terrible creak was thrown into the room and she flinched back, causing the handle to turn back up. She gulped, looking around wildly. She was now completely stolen by fear, every bone in her body shaking. She hadn't even seen what was on the other side and she was terrified. What if nothing was there at all? Taking a deep breath, she turned the door handle and finally pushed the squeaky door open.
Light blinded her as she stepped into the new outside arena area. It was large and round with a big, black rock sitting in the middle, covered in a black fur. Yui looked around, feeling her fear leave her. She was right, nothing was behind the door at all, it was completely vague of life. Smiling she stepped forward, stepping into some large hole in the ground. She threw her arms out, balancing herself before taking another step down into the shallow hole, looking down at it. It was almost unnaturally round shaped with four smaller holes around it. Yui paused for a moment. She was right, it WAS unnatural to say the least. She bent down and looked at it closely, squinting her eyes to see the bigger picture. But the closer she looked, the more a feeling of dread came over her until something snapped in her mind. She slowly got back up and stepped out of the hole. She backed up just enough to get a good look at it. Yep, she was right, it is was a giant footprint in the ground.
She heard a light growl and peaked up, seeing three pairs of red, glowing eyed bearing down on her as the large rock turned into a beastly creature. Yui backed up, feeling fear welled up in her gut. Based on what she knew, this was Cerberus, Hades' guard dog. It rose it's lips in a snarl, shoring it's long, razor sharp teeth the side of her arm. Yui backed away from the giant beast thirty times her size. It was bigger than described, must have grown a bit. The large, three headed dog took a step forward, all three heads growling angrily at her.
One of them barked in a ear splitting strength and Yui screeched, setting the beast off. The large dog pounced forward and Yui ran to the side, letting the dog crash into the door. No wonder it had been replaced recently, this dog was mad! Yui kept running around the circular room, but the dog chased after her. She could hear his huffs and puffs as it chased her down, she tripped and fall onto a wall, hearing one of the heads howl in victory. She looked up as the dog boar down on her and it pounced forward. However, to Yui's surprise, the dog had a chain on each head and after running around in circles, the chain had been pulled short and the bog was pulled back mid pounce. The dog charged her, yanking viciously on it's chain as it barked loudly, glaring at her in hatred.
Yui balled herself in the corner, hugging her knees close to her body as a tear slipped out. She shook as the dog began to chomp down on air, creating a horrible scraping sound with his teeth, causing Yui to reach up and grab her ears at it's jaws blasted in rage. There was no way she could get out of this mess, not with that dog barking at her- it would kill her the moment she was in range. Well... kill her a second time around, but she still didn't want to be hurt anymore that she already had been before. She sat there in the corner, trying to block the dog's barks out. She knew that chain couldn't hold him forever, it would break eventually and then it would be all over for her.
But just as she was about to give up hope, the door smashed open, causing Yui and Cerberus to look up. And in walked Hades, his red eye glowing in anger. Gripping his teeth, he glared up at Cerberus, causing the three headed dog to whine in fear, lowering it's heads. Hades stomped forward, yelling out:
"Back Cerberus, back! Now!" He yelled, causing Cerberus to back away from Yui, leaving the sobbing girl in peace. Yui nearly bursted into tears. She was saved!
