บท 548: Hades Leaves

Just as we were about to scrape the bottom, we activated our wings, instantly breaking the fall. And upon feeling our feet land against the ground, our wings furled back into our bodies. They made a creaking leathery sound which was a bit disgusting, but we didn't mind as we were completely used to things like that. 

Hades and I had different ideas as I began to walk down the hallway whilst he somehow phased through the impenetrable wall. So, I quickly followed him through and found myself in yet another hallway, quickly attempting to catch up to my son, who began to run faster and faster. 

It was one wall at first, then two, then three, then four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen… and then finally, seventeen, where a gaping hole almost welcomed us with glistening rocks inside. 

"How did you find these shortcuts?" I asked Hades, and for the first time since coming down here, he finally responded.
