"Holiday to Elysium" Chapter-6

COURTROOM?


As we entered the courtyard of Hades castle. I could here thunderbolts somewhere near by.

"Doesn't seem like mom is in good mood today". She said paying rather no attention to the black bolts. 

"Really?" I could not imagine the flower goddess causing  all this lighting (Hi I know you might be thinking that lightning is Zeus's stuff, my guess she is daughter of Zeus)

"Yeah, mom has issues with Uncle".

"Wait, what Uncle..... oh! I see".

Persephone must have demanded from Hades, to let her spend some time with her daughter on her birthday but since it was winter she could not visit her. So, to solve the issue Hades must have blasted Cadence to bits. Just another day in the life of a god.


As we reached the courtroom my ghostly spine started getting chills, i really didn't want to end up in fields of asphodel. Man I wish Persephone had given us same VIP pass of some kind to get us directly to Elysium. But seems like we are out of luck.



We entered the main hall and joined the other souls in the queue for getting over deeds configured.



Have you ever visited a court before? If you haven’t then it is great, because you wont like this once I tell you the details. Just like the train the courtroom of underworld was no exception. When we entered I saw 3 dudes sitting on office chairs, wearing formal clothing with VR headsets on their eyes. A display over them gave me glimpse of what they were watching but I didn’t understand a bit. The video was running so fast that my mortal brain(cough… sorry dead brain) couldn’t process it. From what I did saw was a first person video probably of the soul who was now standing in square box. After about 5 sec the guy in purple shirt removed his VR
“I don’t approve him for Elysium” he said
“Same goes for me” the one in white
“Alright the decision is done he is going to fields of asphodel, for stealing a jam bottle in grade 1 and not completing his homework on day 4/5/2016.” 

The poor soul was dragged out by guards, it tried to resist but in vain and was thrown into to the fields of asphodel right in front of us
(Really, you are sent to fields of punishment for not completing homework. Dude I’m so screwed)
Well it just hit me, these guys are the judges of courtroom in the underworld. 

Minos, and some other random names that I don't remember.(What, do you expect me to know everything, just look it up on google)

Alright where were we? 

"Cadence grey, your turn" a dude in white shirt shouted.   

 As soon as the judges finished watching her life, it was pretty clear that they were not impressed.

All of a sudden we heard a loud thunder and the ground shook. I did a 360 degree back flip and hit the wall. And then there was a sound booming through underworld.

"What do you mean you can't do it?" A female voice, probably belonging to Persephone.

"But darling rules are...."

"Do you think I care for the rules, you better do this Hades or I will make sure you have a pollen sneeze for the next 1000 years"

And with that everything went back to silence. A door opened behind the judges and a man in black robes entered the hall. He was followed by three furies. He signaled one of them.

The last one went to Minos and whispered in his ear.

"Alright guys change of plans, " Minos said while pushing a red buzzer.

"Candace Grey and Daniel Drake please enter the room leading to Elysium" a sign board read.

Well I will have to say, Persephone did grant my wish for the VIP pass.
