Chapter 52: Darkness of Night allowed me to climb on him and the rest of the hellhounds made way for him as we made our way towards Fang of Blood. As we passed by, hellhounds always stopped what they were doing and dipped their heads to him. It was obvious he had some respect or leadership here. “Done?” Fang of Blood growled in my mind. It was obvious whatever information he discovered was not pleasing him. “Depends on you and Phoenix.” “I better find Phoenix before she loses track of time. Meet you on the outskirts of the lair.” And with that he exited my mind. “I can take you to the outskirts. But from where will you enter Hades’s palace?” Darkness asked me. “No idea. Absolutely no idea.” “You better figure it out soon. It’s almost sunset up above. And Agatha’s troops are already getting close to Moonrise.” Author's Note: Let it to Artemis to get like the first class ride -Jenna
Chapter 53: I’ll give it to Darkness, he was fast. In what felt like three minutes, we were at the outskirts. Fang of Blood was already there with Phoenix, and he whisked his tail as he saw us approaching. When we arrived, he appeared a little startled though. “Darkness of Night?” “Yes, it’s me. Been a while Fang of Blood. I have decided to take a rider once more.” Fang growled and dipped his head. “I found out that Agatha has recruited some of the hellhounds. They are covering their trail too. There is no way I can find her now. Hades is our only hope.” Darkness muttered a shadowy word that I doubted was a praise. “Including whom?” “Call of Death and Spark of Wrath, as well as thirty others.” “Oh they’re going to get it. If Hades permits us I will personally thrash them.” “First we have to get to Hades,” Phoenix noted. “The Trail of Floods. It is dangerous, but it’s the fastest way,” Fang said. “What exactly does ‘dangerous' mean?” I asked. “Only dangerous as in constant fire floods and Cerberus guarding the entrance to the palace,” Phoenix responded. “Well,” I said recklessly, “Let’s get through it.” Author's Note: MORE RECKLESSNESS!!!! -Jenna
