The Envelope

As Georgy came to the door of his apartment, he saw a letter on the floor that was not put inside. He picked it up and turned it around. It was dark blue with his name inscribed in gold in the front. He stood there confused and opened the envelope.


Inside was an invitation to go to the underworld! It said the recipient was Hades and he wanted to talk to him. Hades? He thought of this as a joke and put the envelope in his bag. He took his keys and opened his door. He walked inside the dark apartment, closed the door and put his coat on the rack. He took his bag again and turned on the lights. Click. Nothing happened. Click. Click. Click.


Nothing happened and he looked around. He walked to the living room and saw a massive chasm. He saw skeletons and spirits in the walls trying to claw their way out but they could not. He saw floating rocks making there way to no where. He saw great fires at the bottom lighting up the room. Finally, he saw a osbidian castle in front of him.


Georgy was at first frightened and tried to go back out of this place but he ran into a black stone wall. His apartement was no longer here but he was in the underworld. He saw the bridge that led to the castle and he walked over it.


As he came to the door of the castle, they swung open; revealing a throne room. He looked on top of it and saw a huge man, wearing black robes with black wings resting behind him. He had a black crown on his head and he grasped a crimson spear.


“Georgy!!!” Bellowed the man, his arms out gesturing for him to come closer. Georgy waited and the man’s gaze grew hard. He stuck his hand out and brought it back to him. Suddenly Georgy was pulled to him and he was at the steps of his throne.


“How are you doing?” He asked.


“I was good before this,” Georgy responded fiercly.


“What ruined your good day?”


“What do you want, god of the underworld?” Asked Georgy.


Hades eyes narrowed and shrugged. “Right to the point, are you, son?”


“Yes, get this over wi—“ Georgy paused, what did he say? “Son???”


“Yes, that is why I brought you here! You are of age to rule with me!” Said Hades happier than ever.


“No, no, noo! I have a life, I don’t want to spend my life in a dark pit.”


“Here have some food. I am sorry,” said Hades sympathetically.


Georgy at some of the pomegranates that were in a bowl next to him and felt better. Hades smiled and cheered, making him confused.


“What ever is born of the underword, stays in the underworld, son. Those pomegranates are from here. Woooohhhooooo!!!!” Hades exclaimed.


“You tricked me!!” Georgy grew mad and went for his neck but was sent flying into a cage on the side of the building.


“You will calm down. And you will rule with me.” He calmly said.


Georgy sat in his stone prison and despaired. He was stuck here and that was it.
