Underworld.
Hanging Fortress of Pluto.
Hecate summoned her lamp, and a purple flame quickly flickered to life.
With a wave of her hand, the flame danced and drifted into the wind, carrying her message to all patron gods of Hades.
She sighed, "...I hope those guys won't make things difficult for me."
She have lived in Underworld with those guys long before Hades was even born. So she knew their temper better than Hades.
Although they are submissive and loyal to Hades, that is only because they respected him and acknowledged his power.
In truth, they are selfish, arrogant, hedonistic gods who care for nothing but their own interest and pleasure.
With Hades gone, she doesn't even know if those gods would respond to her summons.
"Hades... Please come back soon, underworld will be doomed without you."

The rivers of the Underworld wound like veins through the realm of the dead.
