"Just make sure we’re not going to hell." Brooke insisted once again, she was terrified that we might end up in hell, after all we all believed it was where Hades lived. The place where Hades was hidden wasn’t exactly on earth, it was between our world and the underworld, according to Will and Kalina there was only one way to access this part of the universe, traveling by magic. "No, that’s not true! I can still feel what’s happening to her, Bridget is weak, but she’s not gone!" "Quanah, she didn’t mean it that way. I loved that woman with all my strength, with every atom in my body and until the day of my last breath that would not change. My world would end if someday Bri was no longer here. For a second the air lacked me and the floor seemed to no longer exist. When Denah made me come back home, horrified that I was bleeding through my eyes and nose, but I knew what was going on, it was Bridget and she was dying! "I need to go after her! How can this fucking connection not be working? Because I can sense what’s happening to her, but I can’t locate her!" The healers were there, as were the ancestors, who tried at all costs to medicate me or to calm me down, but I couldn’t do it, couldn’t calm down, not when I felt Bridget increasingly weak and bleeding even more."Because she is not in this plan!" Irma, a former healer said. "Bri felt something before she blacked out, she spoke of the baby." One that obviously knew what was going on with Bridget and her biological father, but claims they couldn’t interfere. I took Bridget inside, hoping it wasn’t a complete mistake to bring a crazy goddess there. Now take her inside." she was categorical, leaving no room for discussion and this time I could only trust. "Let’s get this baby born!" "You can’t! It’s not time!" I protested at the idea of bringing our son to life, him wasn’t nine months yet. "No, she needs to lie down and let me do the rest!" Hera ordered and knowing who she was I did not do otherwise. "She lost a lot of blood, she needs to go to the hospital!" Kalina spoke above all the buzz around us. So helpless, fragile, it hurt me not to see her beautiful eyes, her smile, or even her cheeks getting flushed by something silly. I ran to her, tearing her inert body from the arms of the unknown man and my heart broke when I saw her state. And Quanah stood there beside me, drooling on our enchanted boy with the small, fragile being in my arms. "When do you think you’ll get tired and give it to me?" Quanah questioned, complaining about what seemed like the fifth time.He hadn’t left my side since childbirth, everyone congratulated us and left, one by one until he left us alone. I couldn’t say how happy I was, I knew I should be surprised and go after Hera asking everything she had done, how time had passed only for my son and why, which led her to accept to help me.But they were questions for another time, because I was tired of the confrontation with Hades, tired of all the problems and emotions I lived on the last day and especially tired of gods, for now I just wanted to stay with my family without thinking about problems. I couldn’t believe I was finally holding my son in my arms, Karl was beautiful, he had a lot of his father’s especially golden eyes, but the hair was mine at least. "You don’t think just because you’ve become underworld commanders you can bring whoever wants to live, do you?" Well I wouldn’t deny that I thought of it, but it would be too easy and nothing with a "We need to talk about Nikolai." "I was afraid it would happen one day, just didn’t think it would be four ladies." he snorted, coming out of character right and showing his real side. Hades is dead." he looked at each of us, as if he didn’t believe. "What do you want now?" "Let it be known that we are the new ladies of the underworld. "Well, well, you again." the man appeared before us, the same as always, the black overcoat and the combat boots in the same color, but this time he looked younger, the hair had been cut. He was still afraid of what had happened in the last days and I couldn’t even blame him for it. And that’s what we did, Kalina created a circle calling him to be in our presence.I tried to insist that Quanah stay outside to protect Karl, but he refused and stood by me.
