Chapter 16: Lord Of The Underworld

Once we reappeared, Helena and I were in a library that looked ancient, and I could almost feel the Magic in the air. Helena walked over to one of the shelves and started scanning it with her hand before finally pulling out a book.

 

"This is one of the oldest books in existence," she said as she handed it to me. "It was written by an Astral Being who lived during the time when our world was first created."

 

The book was called 'Teleportation for Dummies', and I just stared at it for a moment before sighing and opening it up. The first few pages were just filled with words that meant nothing to me, but there were also pictures that looked like someone had drawn them by hand.

 

I flipped through the pages until I found a section that looked like it might be helpful and started reading. It was slow going at first because I had to keep stopping to look up words that I didn't know, but eventually, I started to get the hang of it.

 

"Teleportation is essentially moving your body from one place to another instantaneously," Helena explained as she leaned against a nearby table. "It's a handy skill to have, especially if you want to travel short distances quickly."

 

"How does it work?" I asked curiously as I continued reading through the book.

 

"First, you need to have an idea of where you want to go," Helena said. "It can be anywhere in your view; all you need is an image in your mind."

 

"Okay, that I can do," I said, nodding my head in understanding.

 

"Good," Helena said with a smile. "Now, once you have that image in your mind, you need to focus your Mana into your feet."

 

I did as she said and focused on the thing that felt different inside of me, assuming that it had to be my Mana into my feet like she had instructed. Suddenly, I felt a weird sensation as if my feet were no longer touching the ground.

 

"Woah!" I yelped as I started to float into the air.

 

"That's normal," Helena said with a chuckle as she watched me flail around in the air for a moment. "Now, once you have your Mana focused into your feet, you need to think about where you want to go and visualize yourself there."

 

I did as she said and focused on the image of the other side of the library. Suddenly, I felt like I was falling, and then everything went black.

 

I opened my eyes to find Helena standing over me with a smile, and I was lying on the ground, my head hurting. I sat up slowly and rubbed the bump on my head.

 

"Are you alright?" Helena asked concernedly, and I nodded my head.

 

"I think so," I said as I pushed myself to my feet. "What happened?"

 

"You pushed too hard and hit the shelf. I guess I should have told you that you need to be very precise, and this might not be the best area to try, but now you understand. It is just going to take some getting used to. I really wish that I could spend more time with you on this, but you are welcome to come and visit me when you come back. I still owe you a favor, but the use of my training facilities and library do not count for that since we are friends now, right?" Helena asked as she helped me up, and I stood directly in front of her. 

 

I could smell her sweet scent and feel the warmth of her body. I wanted to reach out and touch her, but I knew that would probably be a bad idea, probably. 

 

"Yes, friends," I muttered as I stepped away from her. "I should get going now."

 

Helena grabbed me by the collar, stopped me, and pulled my face to hers until our lips nearly touched, making my heart nearly explode in my chest from shock and excitement. "If you ever need anything, just let me know."

 

I didn't answer. I had second-guessed myself the first time, but this time I pressed my lips eagerly to hers and wrapped my arms around her waist as I pulled her close.

 

We kissed deeply for a few more extended moments before finally breaking apart, both of us breathless. Helena looked like she wanted to say something, but I just shook my head and turned away from her before she could say anything.

 

I had a job to do, and I couldn't afford to get distracted by Helena. No matter how much I wanted to stay with her and smash her heavenly box, this was not a luxury that I could afford right now.

"When I am back, and I have helped Aquaria, then we can talk about this, but I have a job to do so you can get what you want," I said, and then took a deep breath, trying to calm the raging hard-on that was trying to rip its way out of my tight pants. "Now, where is this guy that I have to kill?"

 

Helena just stared at me for a moment before she turned and walked away without another word. I followed her out of the library and down a long hallway until we came to a stop in front of a large door. Helena placed her hand on the door, and it opened without any resistance.

 

"When you are done with your job, come back here, and we will talk," Helena said as she turned to me. "I will be waiting for you."

 

With that, she walked away from me, leaving me alone in front of the door. I took a deep breath before walking through it into what looked like some kind of throne room. Sitting on the throne was an older man with graying hair who looked vaguely familiar to me. He had cold eyes that seemed almost soulless as he stared at me.

 

"Well, considering how that woman felt about you before, you do quick work, Halberd. You are making quite a little stir in the Heavenly Realm, Chaos Trigger. This name is one that even gives me a slight pause," The old man said, but I was confused as to who this person was. They kind of reminded me of Zeus, but almost twice his size, and on closer inspection, the wrinkles in his skin were black cracks. "I am Hades, the Lord of the Underworld."

 

"You are not who I was expecting," I said as I looked at him. "What do you want with me?"

 

"Ah, so Helena did not tell you? Well, let's just say that we have a common goal. You see, there is someone who has been causing trouble in my realm, and I need someone to deal with them for me," Hades explained. "In return for your help, I will grant you anything that you desire."

 

I just stared at him for a moment before shaking my head. "No thanks. Helena already promised me something in return for my help; she doesn't need to give me anything else."

 

"Yes, I know that you are helping my daughter and little Aquaria, but this is something that I need of you after that. While your main job as a Trigger is to trigger events for the heroes that are sent to our worlds, sometimes the heroes become the very thing they swore to destroy. In this case, we have very few options on what we, as Astral Beings, can do from here. Abandoning the world is one option, but I would not only lose my Mana for taking care of the world, but I would also have to pay for a Cleaner to reset the world to before the hero entered," Hades explained, and I nodded.

 

"Alright, I will bite, but what is in it for me? you say anything I desire, but if I say all the Mana in the Heavenly Realm, then you would not be able to fulfill that, right?" I asked, and Hades laughed.

 

"You are a smart one, Chaos Trigger. I like that about you. Very well, I will give you something that you may desire more than anything else in the world," Hades said before he snapped his fingers, and a beautiful woman appeared next to him. "I give you my daughter, Helena."

 

This was my turn to laugh as Helena whirled on her father. I could see this coming from a mile away the moment the world left his mouth.

 

"I am not your prize to give away! If Halberd wants me, he does not need your permission!" Helena snapped as I slapped my knee, laughing. Funniest shit I had seen all day.

 

"Calm down, Helena. I was just trying to help the boy out," Hades said with a chuckle as he waved his hand, and Helena disappeared.

 

"What did you do to her?" I asked as I glared at him.

 

"I sent her back to the library. Now, are you going to help me or not?" Hades asked impatiently. "I do not have all day."

 

"I don't know, Boss Man. You really don't make a very appealing deal. Not to toot my own horn, but I don't need help with women. What I need is a place to stay on my own and one of those Transporters," I said, and Hades gave me an incredulous look.

 

"You know how much Mana those things are?!" Hades snapped, but I pursed my lips, turning my head slightly as I nodded my head.

 

"Yeah, pretty fucking expensive, according to your little girl. Look, I am not here to shake you down, but I also know that I am probably a hell of a lot cheaper than whatever a Cleaner is. Scratch my back, and I will scratch yours," I said, and Hades sighed.

 

"I do not have time for this," Hades muttered as he waved his hand, and a contract appeared in front of me. "This is a binding contract that will state what you are to do while you are in my realm."

 

I took the contract and scanned over it quickly before nodding my head. "Alright, I am in. Now, how do I-"

 

Suddenly a box dropped down on me, and before I could react, gas filled my nostrils, and I was out again. I was really getting tired of this.
