All Hope Abandon, Ye Who Enter In!
Between Marlow and Dawn the Defenders had managed to track the shadow demons who had abducted Svalin to the gates of Hades. Countless shades wandered on the shores of the river Acheron. These were the paupers and the friendless, those who did not possess an obolus to pay Charon.

A small boat floated on the dark waters of the river and the cloaked figure of Charon stood in the boat waiting to ferry souls across the river. A skeletal hand clutched a pole and the other was outstretched waiting to receive a fare for crossing.

On the other side of the river stood a large three headed dog and a large two headed dog. Cerebus and Orthus guarded the entrance into Pluto's realm.

	"Gotta start somewhere," Dawn reflected. Was every afterlife so depressing? Between this and what the godlings had said about Hel... well, it really seemed like a lot of the world would end up in pretty crummy places. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, first place to head would be the spots with the best security, right? So she's in there, or she's in Tartarus, and either way, we're going to kick some asses." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. I agree with thee Vernique," Aridis said in a tense tone. "I hope she ist not in Tartarus. I doth not imagine it being healthy for your child." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow simply headed toward the palace. The place was depressing enough without her adding a verbal agreement to their discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The souls all around paid the living no mind. There appeared to be no problems between their current location and the palace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Keep thine weapons and spells ready," Aridis ordered in a deathly calm tone. She was ready to fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique looked around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Griffen narrows his gaze as he looks around. This place feels unnatural to him. "We're making everyone carry their ID cards at ll times from now on. I believe ..... Mrs Barton once mentioned they all have a GPS stuck in them. I'll ask her about that latter. It would make tracking Svalin down so much easier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-08-07 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	"It's a magic place. Your tracker thing might not work." Marlow carried no weapons but she had her spells ready. Her lessons from Clea and Doctor Strange on dealing with the souls of the dead focused on respect. She slipped between them, doing her best to disturb nothing and gain no notice. She noticed everything so she could talk to Corey about it later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The souls wandered around, but none came close to the small party. They walked unmolested to the gates of Hades' palace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique shrunk down. "I'll take a look ahead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aridis nodded. Her expression hadn't changed at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Be... be careful," Dawn said. Mostly because if she didn't say something, she'd realize how insane this all was and panic would set in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2011-08-07 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Griffen echoes. This place is weird and he doesn't want anyone on their side hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-08-07 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow reached out to touch Dawn's arm. "You have spells ready?" she asked in a soft voice. "It'll happen fast, when it does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pluto's throne room was a dark and dreary affair. Pluto sat on his massive black throne and the smaller throne next to him was empty. It was summer and Persephone was with her mother.

Hellhounds paced around the room and demons lurked. Some were made of shadow and others made of fire. Svalin was off to one side with mystical chains around her and a very large hellhound lying at her feet.

	When Vernique slips back, "Okay, people, we've got sahdowy demons, firey demons, and lots and lots of demonpuppies. Then there's Pluto, and he's got Svalin chained up near the corner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2011-08-09 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Dawn nodded to Marlow. "Got some good ones all set," she said, quietly. She fought to control her breathing. No panicking now. Not when Svalin and her baby's lives were on the line. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Franklin geared up for the confrontation. At least this wasn't Mephisto. "Point me in a direction and I'll shoot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-08-09 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow didn't do tactical planning, but she knew she didn't have the power to confront a god in his home. The demons were fair game, though. "Is she close to the throne?" she asked Vernique in a whisper. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-08-09 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Close, but not right next to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2011-08-10 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"So what's our plan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2011-08-10 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"Well, somebody is going to need to distract Pluto. Those chains on Svalin are probably magic. And the demons and hellhounds need to be rounded up, especially the big hellhound in front of Svalin." That was pretty much everything. "I can round up the masses to clear a path. After that, all I can think of is to fight god with gods." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
