The blonde light skinned son of Hades traveled through the caverns of the underworld. The place had different locations from Tartarus, Asphodel Meadows, and even Elysium. All around the underworld, the River Styx flowed seven times around the darkened lands to the brightened world of Elysium. Sam Golbach liked to explore his father's realm. It had been rare that his father ever let him out into the mortal world, after what happened with his sister, Bianca di Angelo. Hades warned him not to go too far, but he couldn't help but get curious.

Through his travels, he came across a dark tunnel. He paused and checked his small leather pouch full of pomegranate seeds that came straight from his stepmother's garden. The pomegranate seeds helped any child of Hades survive in a deep sleep in a case of emergencies. Sam fixed his blonde hair when a raspy voice called out to him.

"Samuel," the voice said. "Come to me, child, set me free!" Sam paused and looked down the tunnel. He couldn't see the end, but the voice seemed to come through to him from there.

"Who's there?" Sam called out. The demigod walked through the tunnel, keeping his guard up and dagger out. Sam came out from the other end of the tunnel and noticed a large rock formation that was five feet away from him. The rocks touched the tips of the other forming an entrance. He walked closer to it and saw that there was a door.

"Sam." the voice repeated. Reaching out his hand, he touched the cool metal of the door handle and pulled it open. An explosion exited from the doorway, causing Sam to fly back and land a few feet away. "Finally!" the being exclaimed, made mostly of fire and formed into a strange figure. "I can destroy this world and defeat the Olympians!" it looked down at him with fire and hatred in its eyes. "Thank you, Samuel, for releasing me!" the thing laughed and thought to himself, Sam backed away and got up from his spot. But the being appeared before him. "I cannot get to the human world without a body, and because you've been so kind to free me, I will use you!" Sam held out his dagger ready to attack the monster and despite only having a small weapon he hoped he could defeat the monster.

"Hell no!" Sam yelled. "I will not let you control me!" The entity jumped forward ready to possess him but in a string of good luck, Sean appeared before him.

"Chaos!" Sean yelled. "You will not attack my brother!" pulling out his bident, Sean was ready to kill. "Sam! Get out of here! I'll hold Chaos off for as long as I can," he continued. "Shadow travel to the son of Ares in California!" without hesitation, Sam took off and traveled out of the underworld and to California.
