Chapter 17: Rest in Peace

Since waking up in this place, Haedes had a slight feeling that there was something else in his body, that his actions and thoughts had changed. Now Hades realized what was happening, somehow, to a small trace of the former owner's consciousness and personality was still, and that small part was enough to make Hades's thoughts and actions change, even if It has been a little.

'Well, if the original owner didn't want to have a name there must be a reason, let's just leave it, I didn't plan on using my normal name in this place'

Hades decided that he had better follow what the other's conscience had said, maybe there was a reason for it, or rather, Hades knew there was a reason, and that he would find out.

'From what I realize, the other guy's conscience won't intervene much in my way of thinking or acting, it should just help me in some matters that, I believe, can help me. But that awareness would not speak to me, it would be as if she took control of my body and did or said something. '

"Well, as long as this guy doesn't bother me, I won't mind that. Now, what I need is to find a safe place to awaken my lineage."

Luckily, Hades could control that, but he wanted to arouse his lineage as soon as possible. He believed that just as he awakened his lineage in Pandora, he would gain an increase in strength, reaching the 1st circle.

With that thought, Hades stood up and spoke to Lya.

"This demon will no longer disturb you, but I recommend you to be careful. People who put this demon in your friend's body will know that he was destroyed, they can retreat or attack you in this forest, since if it wasn't for me you she would be dead, and even if by some miracle she could free her she would be in a very weak state. "

After saying that, Hades shook his head slightly toward the others and began to walk north away from the others. Both Lya and the others were taken aback, they knew how dangerous this forest was, and for one person walking through it was very dangerous.

'Although he managed to get to this place and survive, it is very likely that his strength is greater than mine'

Lya thought about it, she knew better than anyone how dangerous this forest was, and for Hades to have survived all this time it showed that his strength was very high. And maybe the reason he passed out at the time was because of an injury.

'For him to be hurt by something shows that there may be a very strong creature in this place'

After some thought, Lya got up and ran towards Hades, she stood in front of him and said;

"Wait! I have a proposal for you, how about? If you help us out of this forest I'll give you a reward."

Hearing the girl's proposal, Hades didn't have to think twice before deciding to appeal, but before he could speak, Nashandra says he should help this group of people.

Sighing slightly, Hades looks at the girl and says:

"I can help but it will depend on what you have to offer ..."

Lya was relieved to hear that Hades was going to help her, so that her and her friends' chances of leaving the forest would increase greatly. With a smile on her face she says:

"Don't worry about the rewards, if we really get out of here alive I'll give a sword that was made by my mother, one of the best smiths in the world."

Despite trying to disguise and not show, Hades realized that Lya said that with a certain pride on her face. She reaches out to Hades and asks:

"We have a deal?"

Without hesitation, Hades shakes her hand and says with a serious face:

"I hope it's true about this reward, if it's a lie there will be serious consequences"

Lya adds a carefree smile, as if what Hades had said meant nothing to her.

"Don't worry, I've always been a person to keep my promises no matter what I have to do to keep her."

After finishing talking to Hades, Lya turns and looks back at Loney's body on the floor. With an expression of sadness, she says to Ralf:

"So what do you want to do? He was your friend, it's up to you to decide what to do with his body ..."

After some thought, Ralph gives a slight sigh of discouragement and says:

"As much as I don't want to do that, we have to bury him somewhere here. Bringing a body with us only worsens the situation and the worst may even attract more monsters. We'll bury Loney's body here in the woods when we get back." to the city I will warn his family of his death, so I will return to take his body and make a decent burial for my friend. "

"That ... I didn't think you would decide to do that, since even if it's the right thing to do, he's still your friend ..."

Lya thought Ralf would make a stupid decision like taking Loney's body with them, but to her surprise he didn't ask to do so. This made Lya's respect for Ralf a little higher.

Even though Hades was a little surprised by Ralf's decision, losing someone important to you was very sad, Hades knew very well what that feeling was like. And being able to think clearly at these times was what set ordinary people apart from the experienced.
