Alessandra's P.O.V.
June 30, 1991,- Kyoto, Japan
My name is Minamoto Takara; I am just an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl who loves school, martial arts, hanging out with my friends, gardening, pottery, and writing. I found out recently I am anything but ordinary.
My parents died six months ago, in a freak car accident. I am not confident it was an accident. I remember seeing a figure with a scythe before the crash. Yes, I was in the car too. I came out with a few bruises and a broken left arm.
Hmm.
Shortly after that, the freaky, weird nightmares started. It is a reoccurring nightmare of me killing two older men whom I have never met before. A strange man congratulates me on doing my mission well. It chills me that I could do something so vile to anyone.
Hmm.
The sightings of a strange man with golden hair and eyes of indescribable age have been watching me for six months. I found this odd because this peculiar man started stalking me after my parents die. The strange man would move on if my friends, sensei, or I noticed him.
Okay, what's up with that? Why am I being stalked? Why do I have this feeling I know this man somehow?
Hmm.
It is two weeks since I've seen my stalker, but my nightmare has changed from murdering to the weird dream. Night after night, the same reoccurring dream comes to me. I am waking up in a cold sweat questioning myself. Who am I?
-Dream Flashback-
Ishikawa Koichi challenges me to a duel, and as we took our stances to square off. A dimensional time vortex opens between myself and Koichi. Then two men came out of the vortex. One had dark hair and eyes while the other had golden hair and eyes. The two men have the same strange star upon their foreheads as I sometimes did. Are they twins?
Then chaos ensues with everyone around me, screaming and running in terror. I'm paralyzed by fear of the unknown as the black-haired man approaches with a soft expression and whispers softly,
"Alessandra, I have finally found you, my daughter."
I screamed in disbelief as Chi growls in a warning.
-End Dream Flashback-
What on earth is going on with these weird dreams of late? I'm feeling uneasy about something wicked coming my way. I do not like this feeling. I do not like feeling afraid, especially of my dreams.
I could not stop the trembling of my body or the fear of the unknown or the fear that radiates from my heart and soul, telling me something is coming. I did not dare go back to sleep.
Today is my fifteenth birthday; I shook off my frustration and my fear of the last six months, especially the last two weeks.
I went on my day like a champion.
My friends surprised me at lunch with a little party and gifts. I enjoyed myself immensely.
Later that afternoon, I went home to get ready for kendo practice despite the feelings of dread that had suddenly creep up. I took Chi with me like I always do. I'll feel better once I've worked out all this pent-up frustration.
I get to the dojo, did my warm-ups while Chi sat on the side and watched. Sensei Ishikawa Koji's son Koichi challenges me to a duel. I, of course, accepted. Koichi and I are best friends, and we always challenge each other in just about everything we did.
We took our stances, and the dojo shook violently. Suddenly a dimensional time vortex opens up between Koichi and me. Then two men came out of the vortex one has a sinister look with dark hair and eyes while the other wasn't evil-looking, but I'd be foolish to trust with golden hair and eyes. The two men have the same strange star upon their foreheads, just like in my dream.
Everyone around me is running and screaming (things like an alien invasion or it is the end of the world) in terror except for me. The kendo sticks in my hand slowly slipped out of my hands — the sinister-looking of the two smiles wickedly at me.
I gulped in fear. I tried to will my body to move, but fear has its icy grip on me. Chi stands between the sinister-looking man growling in a warning and me. A look of pure joy replaces the look of evil on the dark-haired man's face.
The dark-haired man stood in front of me whispering,
"Alessandra, I have finally found you, my daughter."
I scream in fear to get a vicious slap across my face. The dark-haired man growls venomously at me while Chi growls at him in a warning.
The golden-haired man pushes the dark-haired man away from me, and he hands me a handkerchief to wipe away the blood.
"Easy Thanatos, it is not Alessandra's fault that she does not know you. Try and be patient." Hypnos murmured.
"I suppose you are right, Hypnos," Thanatos said quietly.
Thanatos turns to look at me with a soft expression as he gently strokes my bruised and cut lower lip.
"Alessa, if you come with me. I'll explain and answer all your questions," Thanatos said, "No more screaming, it grates on my nerves."
I stood there, dumbfounded.
"You are Thanatos, the god of death from mythology and my father," I said, pointing at one called Thanatos.
Thanatos nods to confirm.
I looked and pointed at the golden-haired man and said, You're my uncle and my father's twin brother Hypnos, the god of sleep from mythology.
Hypnos nods to confirm.
I sank to my knees and buried my face in my hands, trying to wrap my mind around all this new information. I'm curious and confused at the same time. I decided to go with the two strange men.
Thanatos kneels beside me and takes my hands from my face as he whispers to me softly,
"Alessa, I would rather you come with me on your free-will rather than us forcing you to come."
I gave him a look that spoke volumes as I look over at Chi.
Hypnos laughed and said smiling,
"You can bring your pet with you, but keep her away from Cerberus. I'm not sure if he will like the idea of having another dog in his territory."
I smirked at Hypnos then turned to look up into Thanatos's dark eyes,
"I will come with you, Than-err, I mean, Father, and hear what you have to say."
My father smiles and nods while Hypnos opens the vortex. I stood up and followed Father and Hypnos into the vortex with Chi following behind.
It feels like three centuries had passed before we came to the other side of the vortex. Hypnos and my father led me to a dimly lit throne room.
I hid behind my father as I grabbed his hand instinctively and held it tightly as a small child would. My father only offers me a small smile, but he did not pull his hand away. Chi is tailing us quietly.
In the center of the throne room, there sat a man of indescribable age and beauty. His hair was as black as a moonless night while his eyes were so blue that not even on a clear day could rival. I openly gaze on him.
My father and Hypnos drop to one knee and bows their heads. I followed their example while still holding my dad's hand. Chi sat down beside me with her head bowed (Color Me Surprise!). I could feel the intensity of his stare, but it was my father whom he addressed.
"Thanatos, I see you have recovered your lost treasure.," The young man said, "Does Alessandra know everything?"
My father and Hypnos both nod their heads in an answer.
Then the young man turns his intense gaze upon me without saying a word.
I scooted closer to my father and hid my face against Hypnos's shoulder. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze and a little afraid.
"There's no need to fear me or this place, Alessandra," said Hades as if he were reading my thoughts.
I still didn't move away from my father or remove my face from my uncle's shoulder.
"But what shall you do in my service?" said Lord Hades quietly.
I raise my eyes slightly to meet those of Lord Hades. I did not know what exactly I could do to make myself useful to Lord Hades.
"I am under the impression that you and my father have already decided for me," I said frankly.
Lord Hades looks taken aback for a slight moment as I continued,
"I only came here out of mild curiosity. My father and my uncle told me horrible things that I have a hard time believing. I will aid you in any way I can. Don't lie to me, or I'll find a way back to the century I know, and I will make sure you will never be able to open another dimensional time vortex." I said in a cold but deadly voice.
I could hear my father sigh in disbelief, and Hypnos groan dismissively.
Lord Hades regards me for a moment and begins to laugh uproariously.
" I see, you are very forthright just like your mother and deadly like your father. However, everything Thanatos and Hypnos told you is the truth. Lord Hades whispered.
I sigh heavily.
"So my mother did get seal away by her father and uncle because she would not give me up. Mother sent me away, trying to protect me. It is all true." I said, my voice breaking slightly.
"Alessa!" my father calls my name softly.
I wipe away my tears and look at my father with a wicked smile.
"I will make those bastards pay for this, and I will make them wish they hadn't separated me from my family." my voice cold and deadly.
My father only smiles at me.
I let go of my father's hand, and I stood before the throne. I knelt on one knee before Lord Hades.
Hades smiles as he stood from his throne, approaching me. Lord Hades laid his left hand on my head. I looked up at him and took his right hand and kissed it.
"I, Alessandra, swear my loyalty to you, Lord Hades."
Lord Hades smiles triumphantly.
At that moment, a man with blonde hair came walking into the throne room. I gaze at him in wonder.
It was my uncle who introduces us.
"Rhadamanthys, this is Alessandra. You'll be training her tomorrow."
We regarded each other for a moment. I finally nodded my head in greeting. Rhadamanthys only nods toward Thanatos and Hypnos.
Lord Hades dismisses us.
So begins my life in the eighteenth-century.
Epilogue
In Thanatos private rooms
Meanwhile, Thanatos releases Siria from her prison.
"I have found my princess, and your vision shall come to pass," Thanatos smirks wickedly.
"Nay, you and your Lord lied to her when Alessa finds out the truth. You'll lose her forever."
Thanatos laughs bitterly.
"Bullshit, I will just use you to control our daughter to do Lord Hade's bidding as well as my own."
"Nay, you scum," Siria yells.
A vicious slap across her face was his only reply.
Thanatos snaps his fingers, and Siria returns to her prison.
