Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Cerby wants to play

Draken: *steps out of the portal and looks around *

"So this is the Underworld. Dark, foreboding, and eerily silent. Shadows dance across the cavernous landscape. Well I guess I should move forward.

*start to walk forward*

Draken: *hears a loud snore and looks to see a big dog*

Cerberus: *snoring*

Draken: *walks passes by Cerberus slowly and talk very softly and low* "So that the guard dog Cerberus. He looks like a big black fluff ball"

Draken: "Better not wake him up, though. I've heard too many stories about what happens when you do."

Draken: *accidentally steps on a squeaky toy*

Cerberus: *wakes up and slowly gets up growling, then looks at Draken*

Draken: *slowly turns around and see Cerberus* "Oh hi boy you want to play fetch."

Cerberus: *growls and roars*

Draken: Point taken *screams and start running*

Cerberus: *runs after Draken barking.*

Draken: *keeps running and hide behind the left side of a wall while catching my breath*

Cerberus: *growls and looks at the left side of the wall at the right*

Draken: *reach slowly into my bag and grab a pod with paint and throw it away from me*

Cerberus: *hears the impact of the pods are rushed toward while barking*

Draken: *takes a look and sees that Cerberus is gone and also see a black armor gate and start to run towards the gates*

Draken: *stops at the front of the gate and screams out* "Hades! I have came to train with you! Open up the gate!"

Cerberus: *instantly stops barking and stands at attention, looking back at the gate*.

Hades: *voice echoes from behind the gate* "Draken, your arrival is expected."

Cerberus: *starts charging towards the gate*

Draken: *look behind and see Cerberus coming and looks back at the gate* "Come on Hades!! Open up!!"

Cerberus: *getting closer to Draken*

*gates opens slowly*

Draken: *runs in and hides behind the right side of the gate*

*gates closed*

Hades: *steps out from the shadows, his eyes glowing with a menacing fire* "Welcome to my domain, Draken. Did you enjoy your first day of training?"

Draken: *breathing heavily* "Training?! Your dog tried to kill me! You called that training!"

Hades: *laughs* "Oh, you talking about Cerberus. He won't hurt you. He just wants to play. "

Draken: *rubs his temples in frustration* "Play? That beast nearly tore me apart!"

Hades: *smiles* "But he didn't. In fact, Cerberus chasing you actually increased your speed and stamina. Which was indeed needed at the Grand tournament."

Draken: *mutters under his breath* "You've got a twisted sense of humor, Hades."

Hades: "Well thank you. Now why don't you settle in at your room that you will be staying"

Hades: *points at the tower on the left* Your room number 207. Your belongings are already there.

Draken: *looks suspicious* ummm… thanks. *starts walking towards the tower*

Hades: *breaths slowly and mumbles* I hope you are right Persephone. I hope this boy is the key to defeating my bastard brother.
