Drottningholm Palace Sweden

December 13, 1890

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate; instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union, which is holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but revently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."

"I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgement when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful."

"Prince Hades Alexander Damon thou have this woman thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Will thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking a others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"

"I do."

"Princess Ysabella Dawn Clesten thou have this man thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"

"I do."

"With this Ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit Amen"

"With this ring, I Prince Hades Alexander, take you Princess Ysabella Dawn, to be my beloved for the rest of my life. As I stand by your side, it is with the knowledge that our lives together will realize the promises that we have made today, and it is to this future that I humbly submit. I submit my life even in afterlife I will take you in my arms even if I die. I ask everyone present to witness that I take you as my partner in marriage. Today I become your husband and you become my wife. I promise to respect you as a whole person with your own interests, desire, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no less important than my own. I will help you raise our children to become loving people, and support you in the fundamental role of parent. In this beautiful palace I dedicate myself to you. Although our lives may change like the seasons, I will love you. As our love grows like a seed to a beautiful flower, I will love you. When the winds of doubt blow through, I will love you. We will stand together, strong, nurtured by each others love until the end.All that I have, All that I am, All that I will ever be is yours. Forever."

"I Princess Ysabella Dawn affirm my love to you, Prince Hades Alexander as I invite you to share my life. I vow to trust you and respect you, tell the truth and embrace you, everyday. All the time and always, I vow to honor and protect you, encourage and celebrate you, everyday. All the time and always. Today I take you to be my husband. Together we will create a home, becoming a part of one another. I vow to help create a life that we can cherish, inspring your love for me and mine for you. I vow to be honest, caring and truthful, to love you as you are and not as I want you to be, and to grow old by your side as your love and best friend. On this day, I give you my heart, my promise, that I will walk with you, hand in hand, wherever, our journey leads us, living, learning, loving, together. Forever."

"Forasmush as Prince Hades and Princess Ysabelle have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and therto have given and pledged their troth, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a Ring and by joining hands; I pronounce that they are Man and Wife, In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. You may now kiss the Bride."

Friday 12:31 am

The dark sky appeared to be approaching a thunderstorm, but the midst of air was subtle. The December darkness has betraying shadows that conceal predators' intended brutality and disasters. Since King Helios' arrival, this year has been a disaster because he believes Prince Hades stole his woman. King Helios declared war, and until now, all of his people, including innocent children, have been stunned by his shambles, his war.

His rage reached a boiling point because even the poor were dying for him.

"Prince Hades, your carriage awaits," a young soldier says as a man in a red coat walks towards him.

"Prince, I was asked to give you this letter, and only you can read it," he exhaled, fogs under his breath.

"Who gave you this letter, and why didn't they send it to me personally if it's so important?"

"The letter will respond to you," he replied with a sly smile before turning his heels and leave.

Slowly, he read the red clay that stamped the letter 'infernum,' but Prince Hades knows who wrote him the letter, and it is none other than King Helios, his greatest rival.

He opens the letter gradually, his eyes widening at what he has read, and he quickly locates the man in a red coat who has given him the letter. His eyes darken and his knuckles whiten. He clenched his teeth and cursed discreetly.

'She has a delicious flavor.She has a wonderful taste.She's far too delicate.But I have such a good grip on faith.She makes a small movement.She will perish.You make a small movement.Both of you will perish.Run, your kingdom, run!Run, your people, run!Her moan is like music to my ears.What a piece of music her pleading was in my ears.What music I hear in my ears as she yelps in pain.I enjoy observing your little wife.Come see me, Hades.

"No, not my wife, you have to kill me first before you can hurt and get my wife," he muttered under his breath, and within seconds, a man wielding a silver sword approached him slowly.

"King Helios," he gritted his teeth as he gave him a sly smile.

"It's twelve o'clock at night, Prince, and it's such a disaster for you to be here at this time; may I ask why?" he arched his brow as he lit a cigar in his hand.

"It's none of your business, it doesn't matter what time it is; I'm the one who runs my time," he muttered under his breath, letting a cold fog escape with each breath.

"No wonder your little wife is alone," he remarked sarcastically of his wife.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, his teeth clenched.

"Nothing, I just wanted to get what I own, you'll see," he said, a vicious smile crossing his lips as he held the sword.

"You bastard, you own nothing!"

"How do you know that, my prince?"

"I'm thinking of cutting your head, but I'm hoping not."

Screams filled the air as Prince Hades examined his stabbed chest with King Helios' sword.

Blood was dripping.

Raspy's voice moaned.

"I will return...and in the afterlife you will see yours," Prince Hades said before passing out.

"Hope is a bitch."
