"… I understand, but, if the king of h.e.l.l didn't call me, then what did?" Asked Alfonso.

"I don't know about that, but I am sure that something called you here… but that thing hadn't come to meet you, so, It must be trapped somewhere, and the will of the Underworld have already began to reject you, soon enough, you are going to go back to the living world" Said Dante.

"And how do you know about that?" Asked Alfonso.

"Because…"

Dante looked below.

"You are already disappearing"

Alfonso looked below and saw that only his head was remaining!

"What the-!?"

"It was a pleasure to meet you, my friend, please, become more powerful, so the next time you come back, I can fulfill my responsibility and be at my beloved side~" Said Dante with a smile.

"I-"

Before Alfonso could end the faint sensation invaded him once again and the lost his consciousness.

.....................…

Back in Wasteland valley, the four G.o.ds were waiting in front of the black mirror, it had already been eight hours since Alfonso disappeared and everyone was still waiting for his return.

"Its already morning" Said Aphrodite.

Artemis looked at her with annoyance.

"So?" Said Artemis.

"I was just saying" Said Aphrodite.

"Both of you, shut up" Said Demeter.

"If you want to leave, be my guess Aphrodite, I wouldn't be the first time anyway" Said Dionysius.

"You-! I didn't say that I would leave" Murmured Aphrodite.

Suddenly, the blackness of the mirror trembled.

"Waah!"

A voice came from the mirror and a human was expulsed from the mirror.

"It hurts" Murmured Alfonso.

""Alfonso!"" The four G.o.ds ran towards and looked at him.

"Guys?" Asked Alfonso.

"Alfonso, are you okay?" Asked Artemis.

"Yeah, more or less" Said Alfonso.

"What happened?" Asked Dionysius.

"It was like this…"

Alfonso explained the events that happened before he went to the Underworld and how did he got out, of course he also tell his encounter with Dante, however, the four G.o.ds didn't know who the h.e.l.l was Dante.

After hearing Alfonso's experience the four G.o.ds, they though hard.

"I didn't know that there was an object so powerful that could drag you from the living world to the underworld, as far as I know the only objects that are so powerful to do that are the three G.o.dly objects" Said Aphrodite.

"Three G.o.dly objects?" Asked Alfonso.

"The three objects that were forget to defeat the t.i.tans, The trident of Poseidon, The Helmet of Hades and the Thunder of Zeus" Answered Artemis.

"I see" Said Alfonso.

"Alfonso" Suddenly a gloomy voice came from the furthest side.

Alfonso turned around and saw Demeter with a sad expression.

"Alfonso, I know that you aren't lying, but… perhaps… you didn't heard about my daughter from that Dante guy right?" Asked Demeter.

Alfonso looked at her and shook his head.

"I only heard about her causal encounter with mortal form the living world, but more than that…"

"No, no, don't worry, I… I already expected something like that" Said Demeter.

"…" Alfonso wanted to say something, however, he didn't know where to start.

So, he only sighed.

"One day, We will go and see her" Said Alfonso

"Yeah…" Said Demeter, she left the room with a sad expression.

However, Alfonso couldn't go and comfort her, because his feeling wasn't in accordance to her will.

"I know that your wish is to save her, however, does she really need to be safe?" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso knew about Persephone, since he met Demeter, he had recalled every piece of information that he knew about Persephone and her kidnap to the Underworld, and, as far as the evidence goes, Alfonso reached a conclusion.

"Persephone could have left the Underworld a long time ago, however, she hadn't do it, so, there must a reason for that, maybe… she is happy with Hades" Though Alfonso.

The causal encounters that Persephone had might not support this theory but… G.o.ds used to have love encounters every now and there, so, it wasn't that uncommon for them to cheat… but, nevertheless, it was still suspicious.

"However, how I am supposed to tell her that, I can't…" Though Alfonso.

He turned around to look at Artemis, she only shake her head and followed Demeter.

"Its been a long night, let's go and slept at least a couple of hours before meeting everyone" Said Alfonso.

"Sure, I am still sleepy" Said Dionysius.

"… Can we talk before you go?" Said Aphrodite to Alfonso.

"…Sure"

"I will be going then" Said Dionysius.

Dionysius left the room and Alfonso and Aphrodite remained in the room.

"You know the reason why I asked you to stay behind, right?" Asked Aphrodite.

"… You want to repeat why I did right?" Said Alfonso.

"Yes, I have been under this curse for far too long, so long that I have forgot my own face already, If by any chance… this was fated, then I can finally lift this curse, so… please" Said Aphrodite with a begging face.

"I understand your feelings, however… I am afraid that we will have to wait for some time" Said Alfonso.

"Why?" Asked Aphrodite.

"If I am not wrong, what triggered my way to the Underworld was the excessive use of the power of time… and, if I make a wild guess, the thing that called me from the Underworld… has to do with the power of time" Said Alfonso.

"The power of time!?" Said Aphrodite.

Alfonso nodded and showed her his cane.

"I am cursed as well, I have to find the items of time in the next 9 years, this cane is one of them, as for the other ones, I don't know their whereabouts yet, but, this give me a clue, MY guts tell me that the next legacy of time, is there"

Alfonso looked at the mirror with a serious face.

"IN THE UNDERWORLD!"
