| Defeated, Cerberus falls down, then runs away. Hades reappears.
 
 
|   |  |  | That's right, run! Tomorrow, I'm getting a real guard dog!
 One with four heads, who breathes fire!
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Why is everyone against me today!? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades turns red in anger.
 
 
|   |  |  | I swear, I haven't had this much trouble since the ferryman went on strike.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades calms down.
 
 
|   |  |  | No. No. I'm cool. I can fix this. I just have to think... Think!
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Eureka! I am a genius! All I gotta do is talk some sense into this kid...
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades walks toward The Player.
 
 
|   |  |  | Hey, my friend. My buddy. My chum. Who woulda though you'd defeat Cerberus?
 Trust me, nobody woulda taken that bet.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | But hey, you know what they say? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Don't judge a scroll by its roll. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades places his hand on The Player's shoulder.
 
 
|   |  |  | Now I'm thinkin' you wanna be stronger, right? Well I know just the guy to help you.
 Me!
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Come on, don't be shy. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | You'll be mentored by the one and only lord of the dead. Waddaya say, pal? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player nods.
 
 
|   |  |  | Great, it's a deal! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades slaps The Player on the back.
 
 
|   |  |  | Well, long story short, darkness is the only real power in the world.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | "Why?" you ask. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Because everything was born from darkness. So if you can control the darkness, you can control everything. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Take it from me, the expert on all things dark and deadly. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Oh! Almost forgot. I need proof that you can handle the darkness in the Underworld.
 You know, like a little test.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades thinks.
 
 
|   |  |  | I got it. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades points behind The Player. The Player turns to look.
 
 
|   |  |  | Your first job as my underling is to get to my office. Alive.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Hades disappears.
 
 
|   |  |  | Little advice: don't keep me waiting.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player starts walking, but Chirithy appears.
 
 
|   |  |  | So you're really going... |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player turns to Chirithy.
 
 
|   |  |  | Remember where you are: the Underworld. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Wielding darkness may be the shortcut to power, but you might not be able to turn back
 once you head down that road...
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | But in the end... what you do is up to you.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Chirithy jumps and turns the other way.
 
 
|   |  |  | I'm here to watch over you. That's all.
 |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Chirithy disappears.
 
|  | Traverse the Valley of the Dead and head to Hades' Chamber. |  |
