Hades decided to see if the pact he had was still active, he was quite in doubt if it would still be active, after all he had gone to another body. He believed that the pact he had made with his master had been broken the instant he died.
'I hope the pact is still active, if it was broken I had big problems and my strength would be greatly reduced'
Hades wasn't that worried for two reasons: the first was that even if he lost his covenant with his master, he still had some skills, of course his strength would be greatly reduced, he could only reach about 30% of its original strength. The second was that he didn't know how these things would work in this world, he had a chance that with his current strength he would be extremely powerful in this new world ... But he could be extremely weak.
"Damn, if I only had my old strength I wouldn't have to worry about it ... Although even with my current strength, I would either be a king or a servant in this world ..."
Hades shakes his head slightly. He decided to put that aside, as he knew absolutely nothing about this world, he should find someone to answer his questions.
"I should find a tavern or something"
Hades decided that he should first find a way out of this forest, then find a town or village, and then go to a tavern or something.
"Drunk people always turn out to be great for asking something simple."
Only that before Hades decided to see if the pact with his master was still. He had several ways to figure it out, except that all but one of them would need something he didn't have.
"My luck is really bad, I'll have to use the worst method"
The method Hades would use was quite simple, he would try to communicate with the tower of Ivrit, where all the demons in the circle lived. Hades could only communicate with them if he still has the pact.
Hades gives a slight sigh and closes his eyes. He bites the pulse of his left hand, causing a lot of blood to begin to sneeze. He clenches his hands and starts muttering.
"Great Nashandra, I ask for your prayer. Bless your children with blood and death, I serve you now and I will serve you for all eternity. And let the unworthy be baptized with blood. "
Finished speaking, Hades does not move and continues with his eyes closed. He stays like this for a while.
After about 15 minutes, Hades hears a voice. A voice he never forgot, a voice unlike any he has ever heard.
"My child..."
Hearing that voice calling to him, Hades couldn't help but shiver. That voice seemed to be the mixtures of various people's voices, he could hear voices and adults and children. There were few times when Hades used this method to communicate with the circle. Every time he heard that voice he always felt a slight tightening in his heart, he believed that no one would be able to keep calm when he heard that voice.
He didn't know much about the circle, his master said that when the time was right she would reveal some things to him.
Even though he didn't know much about the circle, such as its leader, Hades knew that they were an organization for the purpose of serving its creator, Nashandra, the only goddess of darkness after Hades went mad.
Hades once asked his mistress if this voice he heard was from the goddess Nashandra herself, but she said she could not know that, except for their leader, no one ever heard or had any contact with the goddess. And since Hades never saw the leader of the circle, the doubt he had was never resolved.
Of course, he tried a few times to talk to her when he heard her voice, only that he was never answered.
After hearing the voice of the goddess, Hades's heart calmed a little. Listening to her voice meant he still kept the pact with his master.
Only when Hades opened his eyes, his vision was not of the forest of sins, but of a place wholly from that place.
He was in a verdant field, where there were various kinds of flowers around him, the sky was clear and a magnificent rainbow was seen.
"Where the hell am I?"
Knowing he would have no answer, Hades said this with surprise. He started looking around to see if he could find anything.
As he looked around, Hades's eyes fixed on something, to be exact a person.
This person was only a few feet from where Hades was, she had her back to Hades under a small tree.
Hades could see she was a woman, she had very white skin and her hair was huge and black.
This woman wore a long black dress, which as the wind came swayed. Hades decided and slowly approach this woman. Of course he was aware of any movement of this woman, he did not know if she was a friend or enemy, so if he noticed any suspicious movement of her, Hades would retreat.
When Hades was close to this woman, she turned her face back, so that Hades could clearly see this woman's face. When Hades saw this woman's face, his brows furrowed slightly.
This woman's face, if one could say she had one, was totally black. She had no mouth, nose or anything, the only thing she had were the eyes.
Her eyes were all red, and she looked like she was crying, but instead of tears coming out, blood was coming out.
When Hades saw this, he felt a sense of enormous danger, it seemed his body was screaming for him to get out of there.
To make matters worse, the sky turned completely black and the flowers and trees began to die quickly. Before Hades could realize, any vegetation had been destroyed.
Hades began to retreat quickly, he did not know who this person was, but knew that if he stayed still he would have major problems. Only that Hades couldn't get away much when currents left the earth and grabbed him. Hades used all his strength to try to get those chains off, but all of that was unnecessary. The chains pulled him to where the woman was, stopping a few feet.
The woman, who until now was still, began to walk slowly towards Hades ...
