Jeez Hades. That was ugly. I look at Ash, he looked like he was going to piss his pants, and I can't blame him. I feel my throat. I can still feel his bitterness. His darkness. Am I like him? I can't even do a fraction of what my other brothers can. They control the very planet. They control everything. One controls the sky, one the sea, and one the blackest of the underworld. So... what does that make me? Am I little more than a jokester?
I look around. Are we in a sewer? It feels like an old sewer. It smells foul in here. I look down and I see scurrying rats. The walls made of old stone and brick were breaking. I look up and I see the candles flickering as well as the light bulbs. It was a hideous mix of modern and old. Seriously, she needs a better real estate anent.
"My patience is fading your highness." Hades calls.
"How? Isn't dark and spooky your thing?" I ask Hades.
"Refrain from the snark little brother." Hades hisses.
"Have you not known of me?" I ask offend.
"Please understand, the Eye of Chaos has to be kept under lock and key." Queen Meghan says.
"I know. I made the eye of Chaos." Hades says.
"Why?" I ask him.
"Don't ask that question little brother, it would ruin the surprise, and I know you'd hate it." Hades says.
I nod. Why am I still treated like a baby? I'm treated like a child. I am older than everyone here, except Hades and maybe Mabe. Actually, we're around the same age. I'm famous throughout the world. Yet... why do they not look at me like I am more than a prankster? Am I only a caged beast? Or am I just a jester sold like trinkets? Stop thinking like this Goodfellow! It ain't healthy and it ain't me. Think positive.
"Hurry up and show us." Hades says.
"Be patient brother, you scared them enough." I say.
"Fear is the only true motivator in life. You know this." Hades says.
I look down.
"Yeah, I know." I sigh.
"Puck, please, listen to me. This is a really bad idea." Ash whispers to me.
"And has that ever stopped me?" I glare at him.
I pull my dagger out.
"For the last time, stop calling me puck." I hiss.
