"Fire is invincible"

Luna did not know why Arabella forgave her but she knew that she would not survive without her forgiveness. It was tearing her apart from the inside out when she had no idea about it. "Why?" She asks. The fear of her hating her was too great inside her body and she feared that Arabella would hate her. She doesn't notice that Thalia is around and neither does she care, all she cares about is this moment with her friend, her only friend and the one that has stood by her when no one else did and for that she will forever be grateful.

"You may not understand yet even the darkest of sins can be forgiven. In my eyes, you did what you thought you had to do. And it all worked out in the end. I am alive and my brothers are alive. The world always has a path for everyone and yours is taking the path to goodness after a long path to darkness. I think that this was the thing that truly turned you around and made you become the good person that I know you are and now the rest of the world will see so too" Arabella tells her with a smile.

The midnight haired girl stood there confused as she did not expect her to say those words, she did not know that even when she had murdered her brothers in cold blood, she would be this kind and forgiven to her. Then she smiles at her. "I don't know what to say" Luna speaks, in reality she is shocked about all of this. Looking at the young Queen that truly has the kindest heart that the world has ever seen as she is able to forgive one of the worst sin to ever exist.

"You do not have to say a thing" Arabella tells her, the fire haired Queen is the kindest of them all and she does have a kind heart, though none would want to mess with her for she will become deadly when someone threatens her family and those she loves the most. "Now, let us go to see your brother and father, there are things they need to explain. I have been told who my father is" Arabella says. It is hard for her to think about the man that is her father and believe that he is a King.

Luna and Arabella along with Thalia (who walks a bit behind them) go to the throne room. "Your father? I do not understand" Luna asks. The young girl has never mentioned her father, yet then again she barely spoke of her mother and she turned out to want to kill her. "Yes, it would appear that he is a King in the human world" She answers, saying it out loud makes it real it for her, it aren't just thoughts anymore and is reality. "That would mean that by birth you are a Princess and your birthright is to be a Queen" Luna realizes.

"That would only be if I am the firstborn which I do not believe I am, yet I already have a kingdom that I am the Queen, I don't think I will need another one. Yet, I wish to meet the man that is my father" She says. She wonders if she got any of his looks or if she behaves like him. She doesn't know but would like to find out. Though, her father would not have fire hair or eyes. However, before she became the one she is now she had Arctic blue eyes and fire colored hair or what people in the village believed to be the Devil's hair for it was red as the color of fire from Hell.

When in reality she knows that the Devil does have the blackest hair. That she does know and all the times that some made fun of her because of the way her hair was colored. Her brothers did not have fire haired colored hair and it made her stand out. Perhaps that was the reason why people did not like her nor wanted anything to do with her. Then again she is lucky to have found people that she can be herself around.

"He does not know I exist and it frightens me to meet him and he would throw me away" She confesses when they're close to the throne room. Luna makes her stop and look at her. "I may not know much about the human world now for I have been locked away yet I know that any man would be a fool to reject a Queen, and you are his daughter. It may take time for him to accept yet I believe he will not turn you away" She tells her.

The midnight haired girl knows that Arabella is the daughter of a King yet Kings can have bastards and they do not have any claims to the throne. However, Arabella doesn't know that and she fears the time that she will know. If the King is unmarried then there is a possibility that she will be able to be on that throne, yet highly unlikely. "Will you be with me when I go to meet him?" She asks Luna, and wanting to ask Thalia but as she is a Demon she cannot leave the Underworld to go to the human world as she had been banished from that place.

"It would be a pleasure yet I must ask you to promise me one thing" Luna says to her. Taking the hands of the girl into hers and holding them tightly. Arabella gives her a confused look but also one of worry for Luna is her friend and she does worry about her. "What is it?" She asks her with a comforting smile. Knowing that she would promise her anything after she made the promise to her in the cave by the lake when the two of them went there together.

Luna sighs before she smiles weakly to her. "If I begin to do bad things, I wish for you to stop me before anything. Now that I am free I do not wish to return to the prison I was in, and I fear going to the human world will make me do horrible things once again and I do not want that" Luna tells her and just in that moment Arabella realizes that Luna has come so far since the moment that she met her. She is kind even when she doesn't see so herself.

Perhaps she doesn't know it but she has changed, for the better and she isn't evil anymore, yet then again one might argue she was never evil in the first place, only hurting and could not deal with the pain any longer. "Of course, though I do not think that it will be necessary for you are good and there is goodness in your heart. Now, we are here" Arabella says as the three of them realize that they stand in front of the doors to the throne room where the King and his and Luna's father are. "Where are my brothers?" Arabella asks out of the blue.

She has not seen them but somehow she can feel them for a strange reason that she doesn't understand and they are close to her, yet she cannot know where they are as the feeling inside is a strange one. "It does not matter now" Luna says, smiling and grinning and for the first time her grin is one of happiness and not one of wickedness or evil. Thalia goes over to open the doors for them but as soon as the door is open something is revealed to them. Hades, Arabella's brothers and his and Luna's father are fighting.

All on different sides and all fighting for their lives. Seeing this the fires of the room light up and the spikes go higher than they've ever done before and the hints at the tip of each one starts to turn light shade of blue. "What is the meaning of this?!" Arabella calls and as she speaks a force field escapes from her body and pushes everyone back and forces them to stand down. All eyes turn to look at her but the anger in her fire eyes is enough to make them stop fighting.

The fire shapes in her eyes have started moving as they are only activated by the anger that lives inside her. As stated before, when one messes with her and those she loves, she will not hesitate to harm them. Hellfire will do whatever it takes to serve her, even hard one of its own as she is the Queen that goes above the King for she is the Queen that will rule the world. No one says a word as she walks inside with Luna and Thalia behind her, one smirking while the other one looks lovingly at Jaxon.

"Arabella, they wish to marry you without our consent" Grayson tells her and she walks in the middle of the four men. "In the future, a woman can choose to marry without the consent from a male in her family, this will be the choice of young Arabella, what she wants to do and if she wants this" Hades' father says and everyone gives him a confused look but most of them shake that off as they know who he is and how he knows everything. "I will not marry a man that is already wed, even when I do love him with my whole heart" Arabella whispers.

Her voice may only be a whisper but each one heard it. The fires have calmed down and returned to their original size but still shine brightly and the flames dance like never before. Hades sighs as he walks over to her. "My father can annul the marriage and we can be together" He tells her and she looks up at his father with a shocked look on her face. "You can do that?" She asks him but regrets it afterwards. He is the man that was inside her head and created her and is the father of the creatures that are the elements of the world.

He can do anything and annulling a marriage will not be hard for him to do. "Helen Persephone was never supposed to get the powers that she has, but yes, I can do that. Yet only if she is here. Where is she?" He asks and then turns to face his daughter who only chuckles for she realizes that he knows that she has been torturing the woman. "In the dungeon" Hades answers. "No, there she is not. I believe she is on her way over right now as I've already freed her from her chains and the cell" His father says to him.

As he finishes his words, the doors to the throne room is flung open and a woman in rags, looking as she has just come from the grave walks inside. "It would appear that she has arrived" His father says and Hades smirks. "Yes, we see that, thank you" He says and rolls his eyes. Everyone is looking at the poor woman as she walks closer to them all. Thalia and Arabella's brothers stay silent as they watch all of this.

None of them understand what is happening as they aren't used to being with so many creatures. And the two brothers aren't used to magic. They are still in shock because of the fact that Arabella is the Queen and how she handles fire, even when they always knew that she could manipulate fire her whole life, but they just did not want to accept that fact. "Before this marriage is annulled, I would like you to tell my lovely the true reason why you wish this marriage to happen" Hades says as he raises an eyebrow at his father.

"What is he talking about?" Luna asks before anyone else could say anything. She walks over to Arabella and takes her hand but she never looks away from her father and narrows her eyes at him. "Tell them father, the truth this time" Hades says. The smirk on his face is not hard to see and the crimson red eyes darken when he looks at his father. Knowing now he needs to tell the truth. "A marriage is a sacred bond that binds two people together but that is not only what it does" His father begins.

While he spoke Hades had walked over to Arabella and taken her other hand and stayed with her, Luna on the other side of her. "It can combine rival families and even cities but also kingdoms. However, in this case, worlds. This marriage will not only bind the two of you together but also bind the human world to the Underworld and the connection will be strong" He tells them all. Mostly all look confused, except for his two children who understand perfectly his reasons and why he wants this marriage to happen. This makes the violet eyed girl incredibly mad.

"This is what this is about, using them to bind two worlds together. Because you're losing the Underworld. You aren't connected to it anymore. And you want it to be bound so the connection to you will be restored. Honestly, father, I truly believed you wanted to do the right thing for once!" Luna yells at him, she had let go of Arabella's hand and walked over to her father. Chuckling he stands his ground. "Be careful, daughter, for your freedom can easily be taken away as it was given. Do not forget that I do have powers beyond anything" He tells her in a warning tone.

Showing everyone his true colors and now Luna is not the only one mad but the others are as well. "Yes, you do have powers that none of us can compare to. Yet you forget that we also have a young beautiful Queen on our side, one that has more power inside her than you" A voice from the door says and everyone turns around to see Poseidon standing there with a smirk on his face as he walks inside. "I thought you left, brother" Hades speaks as his brother approaches. "And miss the fun, I do not think so" He says and the smirk never leaves his face.

"I thought it rather odd our father wished to be rid of our sister and myself so I staid behind. And may I say, Arabella, you look absolutely stunning in that dress" He says and winks at her, always flirting with her like he has done from the moment that they met yet now it has gone from a attempt of flirting to a friendly flirt and then a sibling jokes, though he mostly does it for it does annoy his brother whose eyes darken even more when he says those words.

Arabella wears a golden colored dress that is a strapless off shoulder one. It tightens around the waist and then it continues to the hips until the skirt expands a bit and flows gracefully downs to the ground. Hiding the fact that she is barefooted as she did not like heels and never will like them. "Thank you, now what is this connection, I'm afraid that I do not quite understand?" She asks, her head is high and without trying to she acts like the Queen that she is, of course the gifts are after all in her blood.

"My father does nothing if it does not concern him. We were foolish to believe he would help us, such a shame that the already ruined relationship that we had is worse than ever. He is not what you believe him to be, Arabella, he only wishes to use people for him to gain. I have learned that and my siblings have too that he will only use those who he needs something from. You see, despite your beliefs, he is not invincible and he can be killed. Only if he loses connection with all the worlds" Poseidon says to her but also to them all.

"Do not listen to him, he lies. All to impress the Queen for he seeks after her love and approval for she is the most powerful o-" Their father begins. "More powerful than you" Luna states with a smirk on her face. What the three siblings know is unknown to Arabella, the twin brothers and Thalia who all look as equally as confused at the situation that they're in. While the three siblings had cornered their father, Arabella had gone over to her brothers and Thalia followed as they watched.

"As much as I do hate to admit yet I already knew that my brother is not after my love for he has already fallen in love with another. And for he only sees Arabella as his sister" Hades tells his father. When all he wanted was to tear them apart, they found away to stay together and are even stronger than ever, all because a certain Queen touched their hearts with her kindness, it is because of her that they managed to put their war behind them and focus on building their family bond like it should have been.

"The connection we speak of is the thing that ties him to every world ever created, of course he created it. Through the eons, one by one the connections become broken. To tie them back to him, he needs one of the Royals from the worlds to marry a human. However, you made one mistake, father" Hades begins. "In your attempt to get him married to a human, you succeeded and it was very well done" Luna speaks as she refers to Helen, as everyone had forgotten about her in the room with them. "Our brother did make her immortal, it was you" Poseidon tells them.

"You made her immortal to connect the human world, your world to mine. Yet you forget the prophecy and you found another way. Creating Arabella was also part of your plan so the connection would never be broken. Now we come to your mistake, because Arabella is half human she could connect this world to the human one and the bond would never be broken by anything. Yet, you forget one thing. If she is killed by my hand, the human part of her will die and she will be the immortal being that is being dominated by the human" Hades finishes.
