"Wuahh!" Alfonso jumped back for the fright.
He took several steps backs until he stopped; he saw that creepy shadow in the mirror.
After several minutes withouth doing anything, Alfonso notice that this shadow wasn't doing anything, so, he, slowly but surely, began to walk towards the mirror, of course, every step ca along with Alfonso looking at the shadow to see any small changes, just in case, Alfonso took out his eyepatch and was ready to lunch the power of ti if it was needed.
One, two, three,…
After ten steps Alfonso was at his previous position, looking at the mirror, his reflexing couldn't be seeing, only the shadow with its creepy eyes looking at him.
"What the hell is this thing?" Though Alfonso.
He lifted his cane and poked at the mirror.
Nothing happened.
"…"
Alfonso didn't close the distance and poked a few more tis just to make sure.
Nothing happened.
Alfonso took so deep breaths and, with all his bravery, lifted his finger and poked in the mirror.
Nothing happened.
"…"
Alfonso put his entire palm on the mirror; however, there was no reaction.
Alfonso took out his hand and though.
"This happened because I used the power of ti to stop it… right? It's the only logical explanation to this unusual pheno"
He used a little bit of the power of ti and put in his palm.
"Let's try it" Though Alfonso.
He put his palm on the mirror once again.
This ti, however, there was a reaction.
The shadow grow larger and larger until it finally taped the surface of the mirror.
Alfonso was surprised, this shadow was absorbing the particles of ti.
His curiosity surpassed the fear and he still 'filled' the shadow.
He wanted to see what the hell was going on.
The surface of the mirror beco pitch dark, it was so dark that it seems more like a vortex than could shallow everything.
Alfonso was about to put out his hand when he notice that his hand didn't touch a hard surface, instead, his hand entered the mirror.
Alfonso was alard and tried to retrieve his hand, however, to his surprise, his hand wasn't retrieving; on the contrary, it was being swallowed by the mirror!
"HELP!" Shouted Alfonso.
Little by Little his body was being swallowed by the darkness.
.............................................
"WHAT IS HAPPENING!?"
Deter and Artemis ca running when she heard Alfonso shouting.
To their surprise, Io was already there, however, when she notice both of them she shake her head.
"I don't know, when I ca here, my lord wasn't here, however…"
Io turned her head to the right, Deter and Artemis looked at the direction of Io and saw a dark mirror.
"What the hell is that?" Said Artemis.
"What's all the commotion?"
"Ahh~ my head, I need more wine"
Two voices ca from behind; they were Aphrodite and Dionysius, who were woken up by the yelling.
"Alfonso's soul power is gone, I can't feel it" Said Artemis.
" neither" Said Deter.
"Auntie's man is gone? How co? I felt his aura here just a couple of minutes ago" Said Dionysius.
"I don't know, however, there is sothing strange in the room" Said Artemis while signaling the black mirror.
The four gods walked towards the mirror and looked at it. In that instant, Deter face changed, she touched the mirror and put so of her soul power on it.
She bitted her lips so hard that blood ca out and her usual cherry face changed into a fierce one.
*PAM!*
She punched with both hands the black mirror.
"FUCK!" She shouted.
"D-Deter?" Asked Aphrodite in surprise.
"What is going on, Deter?" Asked Dionysius who sobered up in that instant.
"Deter?" Said Artemis.
Deter stood there for so seconds before turning around and saying with a shaking voice.
"That's an entrance to the underworld, to the Hades!" Said Deter.
Everyone was surprised by this revelation.
"An entrance to the underworld!? How is this possible?" Said Aphrodite.
"I don't know, however, Alfonso has entered from here to the underworld, I am sure of it" Said Deter.
"How could this happen? The entrances to the underworld can be counted with one hand and most of them have been sealed through the years, why an entrance to the underworld would appear here!?" Said Artemis.
"I don't know, however, if Alfonso is there, we must follow him" Said Deter
"We can't" Said Dionysius.
"With our current powers we can't force our entrance to the underworld, and, even if we could, we will die in an instant, we aren't welcod there after all" Said Dionysius.
Deter looked at Dionysius in anger, however, after so seconds, she cald down, she knew that he didn't an it in a bad way, he was just stating a fact.
The four of them looked at each other and furrowed their eyes.
Then they looked at the black mirror
Deter looked it with a fierce gaze.
"YOU ALREADY TOOK MY MOST PRECIOUS THING ONCE, IF YOU DO IT A SEOCND TI, I SWEAR THAT I WILL GIVE A FUCK ABOUT OUR AGREEDNT BACK THEN AND I WILL BE SURE THAT NOT EVEN YOUR SOUL ESCAPES FROM MY PALMS!" Shouted Deter.
"I SWEAR IT!"
.............................................
anwhile…
"Where am I?" Asked Alfonso.
When he was swallowed by the shadow, he fainted for so ti, before waking up.
When he looked at his side, he could only assu that he was in a sort of cave, and not any cave.
"It seems to be an underground cave, for all the humidity in this place" Though Alfonso.
He walked and walked for who knows how long and nothing.
"This cave is huge, however, funny enough, I don't felt any tired despite the fact that I have walked for hours" Though Alfonso.
He kept walking for so more minutes before he saw a silhouette in the dark.
"Who is there!?" Shouted Alfonso.
"Ho? How strange!? To see soone walking in these parts of the underworld, I thought I was the only one! A happy surprise, a happy surprise indeed!" The silhouette shouted while waving his hands to Alfonso, like a happy child.
The silhouette walked towards Alfonso and it beca clear when it was a few centiters away from him.
"Bongiorno!" Shouted the man.
Alfonso looked at the man; he was tall and handso and had a sohow childish face despite being an adult. He was a wearing a classic red outfit from the late dieval age.
He had a happy smile on him and looked at Alfonso with curiosity.
"He- hello" Said Alfonso.
"My friend, how co you also ca to this place? Are you also looking for your beloved one?" Said the man.
"Also?"
"Yes! You see, I ca here a long ti ago in a odyssey to find my beloved one, and I found her up in the skies! She was still as beautiful as I rembered, no, she was even more beautiful! She seed happy and enjoyed every day to its fullest, I couldn't bear to told her to co with and I wasn't worthy enough to enter that place just yet, so, I talk with the person in charge and he told to atone my sins here, waiting for those who seek the underworld for different proposes, so, my living friend here, you are my last visitor! This is indeed a happy occasion!" Said the man.
Alfonso was utterly surprised, not only because of the history of this man, but because, he, based on the appearance and way of talking of this man, knew who he was.
"Excuse sir, may I ask for your na?" Asked Alfonso.
"Sure! My friend" Said the man.
"Il mio no é, Dante, Dante Alighieri"
