Forest of Light

Periwinkle was in a field of flowers--the clearing in the Forest of Light. It was her sister, Blossom's, birthday! Since Blossom was named after a flower, Periwinkle decided to pick some the prettiest ones for Blossom. This field was known for its gorgeous flowers, so Rosemary, Periwinkle's mother, took her here.

As they walked along the cobblestone path while picking the most appealing flowers, the blossoms in the field got more and more attractive. They kept walking until they reached one particularly enchanting red flower in a patch of similar ones. Periwinkle desperately wanted one, but something was holding her back.

Note: Now you and I know that's exactly what happened with Persephone, but how was poor Periwinkle and her mom supposed to know? Actually they heard about the myth before--all fairies have in fact--but who knew it was real?

"Periwinkle, you don't pick those flowers. I sense something wrong with them," Rosemary lectured.

"Well I don't sense anything! My powers are stronger than yours!" Periwinkle lied.

Now, her powers were more powerful than her mother's, but the thing was, she did sense something odd about that flower. But Periwinkle wasn't the type to take caution, she just did most things that came to mind. That was going to be her fatal flaw, but how could've poor Periwinkle known?

So, she picked the flower anyway. The earth shook and a black chariot pulled up with Hades--who was apparently real--in it. He was a tall man with greasy skin wearing a shiny bronze helmet. He had jet black hair.

"Hey beautiful. Wanna be my girlfriend? Then my wife? How about a kiss? Then maybe another one. Oh and a bunch of kids! How about that?" Hades flirted. I guess Hades was pretty lonely down there with only a bunch of dead spirits for company, cause he was really eager to wrap Periwinkle around his little (and smelly) finger.

"Eww..." was all Periwinkle could think of, "Don't you already have a wife?"

"Oh we broke up, well kind of. She's just mad. Not really a big deal. I have you now. What do ya say? How about a nice romantic dinner at my place?"

"No."

"Perhaps this one needs a little force..." Hades trails off thinking what he can do. Perhaps a little trickery? No, Hades was really awful at trickery. Strength was more his style. He decided on just grabbing Periwinkle and pulling her into the chariot if she refuses to cooperate. That would be simple, and efficient.

Periwinkle wasn't that strong, so all Hades needed to do was drag her into the chariot (just like his plan) and drive off. Periwinkle fought and kicked, but it really did no good. Down into the earth she went...

When she could see again--it was really dismal and gloomy on the way down--Hades had a large and juicy pomegranate in his hand. Periwinkle desperately wanted to grab it and eat something, but one bite of Underworld food, and you stay forever. She politely declined.

Hades looked angry. Correction--Hades was looked like he was going to strangle everyone in sight--including dead spirits, whom if you think about it, didn't nothing to get strangled. He went overboard and used some of his godly power to whip up a handkerchief that could make someone fall asleep. They can't be woken up unless someone goes and wakes her. But who could? The underworld's security system was the best in this millennia.

Little did he know, that he might be wrong.

A/N: Sorry if these chapters are a little short. This just seemed like a good ending point--don't you think so? (Comment on your thoughts) I will try and make the next few chapters longer. How is it so far? Let me know in the comments!
