Hades moved forward in the direction Nashandra had pointed him northward. He was also approved to see what this forest looked like. As he walked, he realized that the vegetation he had grown accustomed to, large dry, leafless trees, had disappeared. I just need him to walk a little, about half a mile, for this vegetation to disappear.
What came into Hades's vision was normal forest vegetation: medium-sized trees and green grasses that hit Hades's leg.
One thing that Hades alien in this forest was that, as much as the vegetation made it "normal", he could not see any animals let alone any signs of life in that place. Whenever he found it very strange, because this forest could open many kinds of life, if he were in a destroyed place and had a heavy death that he could understand, then that was not the case.
This made Hades arouse suspicion of this place, so he could set it aside and move on.
"It looks like this forest is bigger than I think"
After walking for many hours, Hades gives a slight annoyed sigh and speaks. He is already walking a lot, but found nothing. The environment remained the same, and there were no signs of change.
It was already dusk, looking at 2 suns that should be between 18/19 hours. After some thought, he decides to stop resting today and continue tomorrow, and his body was already beginning to show signs of hunger and thirst.
"I think for today enough, I'll try to find a place to rest and continue tomorrow. I think it was not so difficult to find food while walking I realized that many trees had some kind of "fruit" so it remains to be seen whether they are edible or not ... "
While thinking about whether to eat these "fruits," finally Hades wasn't sure if they were poisonous or not, Hades and surprised by Nashandra's voice again.
"My child ... Take the fruits of a tree that is marked with a cross on your left."
Surprised to hear Nashandra's voice again, Hades gives a slight smile and says:
"Looks like you're watching me, my goddess. Either way, it is an honor to be helped by you. I am happy knowing that I am not alone in this world ... "
Of course Hades knew that he received no response from Nashandra, in fact he wasn't even sure if she listened or was talking ...
With a slight smile on his face, Hades was in the direction Nashandra had failed. He doesn't have to walk far to see a mark with a cross mark, that mark was no different from others, at least Hades couldn't notice anything different about it. The only thing he could see differently was the size of the tree. He may notice that this particular tree was only half the size of the others, making it stand out. Hades climbed into her easily, and without much effort managed to pluck the fruits he had in her.
Looking at the fruit in his hand, Hades noted that the appearance of these fruits was quite peculiar. The fruit had a round circumference, the rind was green and was full of thorns. Judging by appearance alone, a normal person would not doubt that it was poisonous. But trusting Nashandra, he first stretched a finger and used the flames of purgatory on that finger. He used this finger as a knife and opened this fruit. The inner appearance of this fruit was totally different, it seemed to be totally different from the outside, what Hades saw was something akin to red jelly.
Without hesitation he took this jam and ate it, the taste was average, nothing that caught his eye. After eating a few, Hades felt full. This fruit besides quenching hunger also quenched the thirst of Hades.
After eating, Hades decided to look for a large tree to go to sleep. He believed that the chances of being attacked while in a tree would decrease.
Hades climbed some tree, as they all looked the same size he didn't care much and chose a random one. Looking up at the sky, Hades supposed it was already dark. It was a full moon night and the sky was full of stars.
Hades was sitting on one of the tallest branches in the sky while looking up at the sky and was stroking the ring in his hand. Inevitably he began to think about his past life. In order to become a king, Hades had to give up many things.
His life was all about war, he lived practically his whole life having to be aware of the things he did, if he took a wrong step not only would he die but Lize, Fargus and the others. As cold-blooded as Hades was, he cared about these people. After all, they were part of their army and had been with them for a long time. If he had no confidence in these people, who would he trust?
Especially when his master disappeared. Hades never quite knew what happened, the only thing his master said was that her work was done and now there was nothing left for her to do. This happened when Hades was seventeen. With no idea what to do, he was right for 5 years serving the circle of demons, he believed he could find a clue or anything to indicate where his master had gone. During these 5 years he has done several missions for the circle:
Missions where he needed to kill someone, protect something or even look for something. Hades planned to serve the circle all his life until the day he met Lize. He was doing a mission where he would have to kill a young girl who was destroying villages around a mountain.
After an intense fight against her, Hades managed to beat her. Except when he was about to kill her, the circle contacted him via telepathy and said that the mission had been changed, that he should take this girl. Hades didn't think much and did that, he followed the orders of the circle, if they told him to kill someone he would not hesitate. And if they decided to change an order he believed there would be a reason.
His role was to do everything the circle told him, without question or anything. When he arrived in the circle, he was ordered to take care of this girl. And that's when their relationship started, Hades started doing circle missions with this girl.
Because of facing death several times, the two began to trust each other. Even the day they both decided to leave the circle to create their own army. The circle leaders agreed with this, they could leave the circle, but when there was an important mission they should do.
