Episode 2

As the bright orange ball slowly lights up the whole of nothingness, it reaches where Hades was and was awoken by it. He sits upright, with a drowsy face, gently rubs his right eye with his right hand and yawned. He looked around. The once darkness he knew about was filled with something different, something bright.

"What?", he said confusedly, trying to touch the light with both of his hands. Couldn't feel anything, he swang both of his arms vigorously.

"ARGH!” he shouted angrily, “WHAT IS THIS... THIS THING?", trying his best to touch the weird light which woke him up from his deep slumber.

Moments later he lashes out an angry sigh and stops what he was doing to catch his breath. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, trying to figure out where this weird light came from.

"Hmmm", he mumbled, tilting his head to the right.

"Ummm", he said, tilting his head to the left.

"Emmm", he said loudly, tilting his head to the right again.

"ARGHHHH", he yelled as he scratches his head angrily.

"I give up.", Hades let out another sigh, lies down on his back and looked up.

“What could it b… wait a minute! what is that?” he blurted out as noticed something weird, something strange, something he never sees before. He stood up, squeezed his eyes to take a better look. It was a tiny circle but he could see its colour, a tiny orange coloured circle. Hades tilt his head to the right as his right hand is scratching his head lightly, wondering what that strange orange coloured ball is.

The earlier memory he could remember was looked around where he was now, saw nothing but darkness, got bored and fell into a deep slumber. But due to the strange tiny ball, curious and enough with guessing what it was, Hades made a decision that he never thought of many centuries ago, leaving the spot where he is right now.

“Ok. I can do this.” He said excited and flew up a few centimetres, but stopped and looked down on the spot he was on for many centuries.

“But…” flew back down to the spot. Then he looked up again, his curiosity grows.

“But but…” and flew back up to where he was. Hades then repeatedly flew up and down for a few minutes before forcing himself to fly up a little more than before.

He stopped for the one last time, looked down on to the spot, felt a little tinkly feeling on his chest. Clenching both of his fists, he looked away while saying goodbye softly before continuing his journey to where the strange orange coloured ball is.

As he flew closer and closer to the tiny ball he was so curious about, his curiosity becomes excitement and fear. He wondered to himself, maybe it’s something dangerous and he shouldn’t be close to it but the excitement of not knowing what it is kept him from flying back to the spot where he used to be.
