As Cul ventured deeper into the cave he found himself in the Olympian underworld he could feel the change in the air as every breath he took felt like it took so much more effort than before, but this did little to phase him as he kept going looking at all the thing he passed which was basically skeletons and rocks as the place was dark and as Cul continued to walk he finally reached the river of Styx finally stopping at the bank.
Looking at the river Cul couldn't find the words to describe what he felt when he saw it, it took hold of his entire attention as soon a boat soon came into vision with a skeleton wearing a robe rowing it across the river, and Cul immediately knew who this was Charon the ferryman, as Cul waited for him to arrive near him.
"You have guts intruding on the territory of Hades."
"I'm just taking a stroll."
"How about you take me across the river and we all be on our way."
"I have no reason to listen to your demands."
"I would have loved if you had just done this the easy way instead of having me force you, but you leave me no choice." saying this Cul uses his fear manipulation taking a spot in Charon's mind as his worst fears start playing out.
(IN Charon mind)
Charon was currently going through the different visions of one and only one thing happening to him over and over only in different ways as his fear only included one thing his death and this made sense as working so closely with a god of death while having really nothing else one would really cherish their life as they know what's to come.
As Cul had caught him off guard and Charon was already engulfed in his fear as his body kept shaking as he began to mumble.
"Plea....please stop."
"Let's go," says Cul as he boards the boat
"Carry me straight to Tartarus."
Cul had intended to search the underworld until he found Tatarus but since a quicker and better choice had appeared he would rather take this route as Charon started rowing the boat along.
AS they advanced Cul, kept an eye on his surrounding as they got deeper into the underworld Cul knew normal there would be three paths where sports that entered the underworld would go after being judged, Those who were neither truly good nor truly evil in life are sent on the road back to the Asphodel Fields. Those who were evil are condemned to Tartarus, a dark place of terrible punishments; where the Titan warriors are confined. The virtuous travel the path to Elysium, a beautiful and peaceful realm where they dwell happily
Cul had thought that it was all just one big separate dimension but now it began to look like Tartarus and Elysium are both smaller separate dimensions attached to the underworld.
"We are here," said Charon snapping Cul from his thoughts as he looks around and tries to sense the space around him which proves what he taught to be true Tartarus is a smaller separate dimension in the underworld.
"I'll be leaving now," says Charon
Cul knew that he would inform Hades of him being here and that hades would come but Cul didn't think Hades had the strength to kill even if they fought in the underworld and he was also wanting an opponent to try and use his devour on.
Cul had no intention of visiting the whole of Tartarus as he cast a spell and he disappeared and appeared in front of a giant cave opening, Cul walked in without fear as it got darker and darker as he when deeper when suddenly.
Swoosh!!!
BOOM!!
A giant club was sung through the air and collided with Cul now outstretched right hand as he slide back three meters as he noticed the strike in the last seconds before it connected, as he turned to face his attacker he immediately spoke when he saw who it was.
"My friend calm down I mean no harm," says Cul as the Cyclopes walks out of the shadows and look seriously at cul with it one eye
"What are you doing in our home?"
"I just want a weapon forged."
"What makes you think that we will do that for you?"
"Because I will give you freedom."
