Cosmo and the party grind their way thick and thin squeezing through the reinforcement. He gave second thoughts of his brother's death. What could h.e have gained? Succeeding the throne or revenge?

They made it past the gates of Zelda landing themselves at the palace. The throne stood firm right before them Zeke marched down the isle with his scepter pointing out at Cosmo flashing back time . Brought up by Hades himself their mutualistic bound impacted the future of Zelda.

The sons of Hades seized territory over Tartarus lead by the decisions of the demi Kings each having their say on ones internal punishment.At their early days the two brothers accepted Hades's challenge whom the winner shall become the next successor of the throne. The first challenge is diving in midair through four hoops of fire. Young Zeke and Cosmo were so eager to be the next ruler of the underworld. The demi kings sat at the outlines watching two princes contesting each other.

The princes accomplished the challenge without any difficulty. King Hades thrilled to watch his sons redeem themselves. With age caught up with him his everlasting reign quickly approaching it's end.

Hades looks for characteristics like leadership and strength in them. Which he came with the decision to add a hardships on the remaining two challenges. The second challenge is to lead thier army despite raining flame arrows , each of them had a shield for protection forged Through iron ore with the edge crusted by precious jewel and orbes.

Each of them made sure nobody is wounded nor left behind. They Mount thier stallions kicking them at their sides racing thier army to the pole hoisting the Hades flag which was about a mile away.

Hades shot a triology of arrows at the sky, after the third shot the sky turned blackish in color, raining arrow with flame heads forcing both armies to utilize thier shields. Several men got injured while others lost their lives.

That still wasn't enough to stop the princes from reaching the pole. With numbers of his arm decreasing Zeke couldn't risk loosing the race to become king. He led his arm to a cave near the pole treating thier wounds, his ego has prevented Cosmo's army from entering the cave for shelter. Cosmo led his army dispite knowing that they might not make it, persistence drove him closer at the valley of a hundred hills.

As they moved closer Zeke and his army burst their way to the pole assisted by his speed magic. He'd reach there hoisting the flag down emerging victorious over Cosmo.

" How did you get there so fast?"asked Cosmo.

"You should have used your powers to win the race but you chose to be such a sympathetic fool and now you cost your self,"replied Zeke

" You cheated!" Cosmo said feverishly

" I'm declared the winner and I'll be succeeding father," said Zeke folding his arms and his eyes closed with pride.

Hades organised a ceremony to officiate Zeke as the crown prince of kingdom Zelda. Granting him new abilities as a bonus. After his coronation Cosmo became jealous, he couldn't stand to see his brother abuse his power before becoming King. Hades's days flew by till his time had arrived for him to get to his final resting place.

Hades died peacefully leaving his kingdom behind for Zeke to take over. Weeks after the burial Zeke's coronation as king commenced before the very eyes of the queen mother . Cosmo got more ambitious plotting to overthrow Zeke off the throne.

Newly crowned as king he began to choose his loyal subjects making one of them his protege. Orion, the king's protege fulfilled all his tasks which included gruesome acts like punishing the wicked souls at the river of Phlegethon .

Pearl Ranolds, became the second ever living mortal to escape the gates of Hades. Making her way to the countryside of Hungary she met a nobleman Dennis Patterman ploughing his soil in the heated sun.

He offered hospitality in a negotiable deal. She accepted the negotiations inorder to get a roof upon her head. Dennis started falling for her, he couldn't resist the beauty right before his very eyes.

Three months have passed Dennis sold his land at a decent price to buy a large mansion at the capital of Bucharest. Before moving into the mansion they exchanged vows and got married to each other privately.

" Thank you Dennis for accepting me into your life," she said cheerfully.

" You'll always be my wife forever till death do us apart," Dennis said as he held Pearl's hand tight refusing to let her go.

" A bound we share is like no other , we've been through so much in our lives and nothing can separate us my darling husband," replied Pearl.

Dennis brushed her silky burnette hair neatly rolling it into a bud. He gave her a set of gold earrings and a full heart necklace. It perfectly fit her neck. He caressed her from behind while trying to help her wear the necklace. Her Emerald green dress matched the gold color of the jewellery.

Dennis kissed her forehead and played salsa music down stairs. He escorted Pearl downstairs everything set up just the way he wanted to see her move her body and feet for the first time ever.

He turned on the music player inserted his USB with a playlist of songs produced at Latin America.

" Are you ready to do the salsa?" asked Dennis.

" amalgamation of Cuban dances suchย mambo,ย pachanga, andย rumbaย as well as American dances such asย swingย andย tap," said Pearl.

" C'mon honey you didn't answer my question," replied Dennis.

" I'm Ready!!!" said Pearl.

In linear salsa, dancers remain in their "slot", switching places from one side of the slot to the other, similar to West Coast Swing. New York style salsa and LA style salsa are both danced in this fashion.

The second style of salsa is circular salsa, where the dancers circle around each other, reminiscent of East Coast Swing. Both Cuban style salsa and Colombian salsa follow this circular pattern.

Incorporating other dance styling techniques into salsa dancing has become very common for both men and women: shimmies, leg work, arm work, body movement, spins, body isolations, shoulder shimmies, rolls, even hand styling, acrobatics and lifts.

Over the years many different styles of salsa dancing have evolved around the world. Many of them are compatible with each other, but others are different enough to make dancing between dancers of different styles difficult.

Incorporating other dance styling techniques into salsa dancing has also become common, with dancers of one style incorporating styles and movements of others to create new fusions of dance styles.

The duvet danced till their feet couldn't snaffled into trembling woods. Sitting down on the soft couch looking at each others eyes for a moment. Both wanting to speak first but found it hard to create words, Dennis teeth cricketed couldn't hold in for much longer.

" Want to say something ?" asked Pearl.

" Yeah-h, just wanted to ask you how many children do you want?" He said arkwardly.

" I want... Uhm... two girls, that's all" She said as her eyes smiled from her red cheeks.

" Twins,maybe lookalike, what should we name them?" he asked

" Our first child's name will be Valery, and her little sister's name shall be Olivia each of them will have inherited my abilities, " Pearl said calmly.

" Despite that I still love you and I want to start a new family with you," replied Dennis.

" We'll grow old together and watch our children grow into young women," she said.

Six months later, Pearl fell pregnant carrying thier first baby, Valery. At her third month of pregnancy she followed a diet at morning, noon including the evening session.

While the child grew in her womb Dennis ordered tight security around the mansion preventing harm from reaching her. All the preparations for the baby shower was done. Pearl gradually accepted gifts for her baby. She began to sleep a lot as the foetus demanded more than what it needs.

Nine months have passed the time's near to bear a new member for the Patterman family. Late noon she was in labour screaming her breath till an angelic cry could be heard. It was a baby girl, the nurse held little Valery on her Palms.

" Congratulations miss Patterman she looks so adorable just like you," said the nurse

" My baby, my world, please let me hold her," hesitated Pearl.

" why not ? look at how she inherited your beauty,come on now hold her," said the nurse as she gently hands the baby.

Pearl cuddled the baby between her arms to sleep. While the celebrations of a newborn undertook, Zeke and Cosmo rebuild the kingdom of Zelda. The new structure was two times the size of it's old self.

The boundary lines were filled with boiling lava insured for tight security around the palace. Werewolves working as slaves under the command of their vampire masters. Those who were against the vampires faced a harsh punishment despite having to choose. Public execution or crucifixion of the prossecuted.

" You pathetic dogs should learn how to to play fetch," said Zeke.

" You'll pay for everything you've done to me and my kind," replied the big grey wolf.

He later gets sentenced to death beheaded, parts of his body thrown into the river of pain.
