Hades' Caverns in the Preserve - Saturday Morning

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

The crack that Andrew had helped to open, that Hades had come to admire again this morning, was now wide enough for Hades to walk through without crouching. More and more spirits were floating through. The immediate rush was over, but every now and then more spirits would float up from the pit and out up through the caverns and tunnels to the surface.

Today, the streets of Fandom were going to be cluttered with the spirits of the dead.

Hades clapped his bony hands together. "Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" He stuck his head through the hole through to Tartarus. "PAIN! PANIC!"

It only took a moment for the two demons to come running. "Yes, Your Miserableness!" Pain yelled, barrelling through to Fandom's side.

Panic wasn't far behind him, looking very nervous about having Hades around again. "I thought he was gone." Pain elbowed Panic hard in the rib cage.

Hades rolled his eyes. He preferred the teal deer as minions. "Go to the surface and rustle up some native livestock. Take them down to the catacombs and let the Nightmares loose on them. They'll put up a fight, so take some back-up."

"Yes, Your Viciousness!" they replied in unison.

"Make sure you get the Mountie." Hades watched them go, then smoothed back his hair. It immediately flared up again. He whistled for his chariot. "Let's get this party started!"
