The sun had fallen by the time that Mathew reached God territory. Barker slung over his shoulder being held up by one hand as his other hand lay rotting or burning in what was once Barker's territory. His armor was dirty, dented, and the right side was absolutely covered in dried blood. His blood.
No one stopped him, no one really dared stop him or question him. Standing in Hollywood he closed his eyes and would sink into the ground, shifting Barker over his shoulder until he literally just dropped into Hades' domain.

Hades would be sitting in his throne room, which Mathew landed close enough to, to just walk in, and once he passed the thresh hold Hades would swipe at the air as he stood up, holding his his hand by the throat a clawing, and kicking spirit. It was very obviousely Barker.
"Oh... Mathew... This is unusual. My ferryman usually brings me souls. Whats the occasion that the God of War should escort a soul straight to me?"

Okay, this was worth it already. Watching Barker's soul clawing and kicking in Hades' grasp. It was almost enough to make him forget that he just lost his arm. Oh wait, no it wasn't. That fucking sucked, and even though the pain was gone it was very acutely aware of it. His body just felt different, and he didn't like it.
"Because I don't want it to vanish into the nether. I want you to bind it in something because I need what's in it's head. I was thinking maybe his skull?"
He smirked. He wanted the skull either way.
"Though you are the expert, so if you have a better suggestion I would be a fool to not at least consider it."

Hades would look to the soul, then back to the body, then to Mathew.
"It will take me a night to strip the skull clean if you want it without the decaying smell. I can put it in a statue for now."

Then suddenly!!! A hole would appear in the roof above them. A black blood line coming all the way down till it was on the floor, shortly followed by Apprentice.
"Greetings sirs."
She bowed.
"I came here on the wishes of the commander he would like to speak to you."

The idea of having him in a statue was very amusing and possibly worrying. With Mathew's ability to manipulate stone and metal it would mean Barker would be fairly at his mercy. Though that does assume that Barker couldn't animate the stone and become a threat. However he also did like the idea of Barker's soul resting in his bleached skull for eternity.
"I think I can wait a day for such a prize."
And then they were interrupted! How rude, this was a private meeting.
"We're busy."
He snapped back. The intruder lucky that they were not impaled where they stood barging in on two Elder Gods, and Mathew was not really in the mood to be nice.

Apprentice would bow again.
"If you are unwilling to listen to Commander Sudeki's words then I will save wait until after you leave to continue my business with Lord Hades."

Hades would exchange looks to Mathew and the new comer, making an assumption at first to The Lightning Dragon having sent this woman, but the direction she came from.
"A envoy from the young man who placed his mansion of blood so gingerly above my home?"
Yeah, it didn't sound amused either. Hades would move to one of the small statues on his chess board and would shove the soul into the small figurine. Moving over to Mathew would hand it to him.

Mathew would pocket the figurine and glare at the newcomer.
"Seriously? My Apprentice's apprentice is giving me attitude. I'm gonna whoop his fucking ass."
He growled.

Apprentice would bow her head again.
"I'm sorry sirs, I meant no disrespect. Only wish to carry out the orders that the commander gave me."
The she paused as if hearing something.
"Commander Sudeki can now hear what y'all have to say through me and if you wish it I can relay his thoughts to you?"

"Fucking spit it out Rai."

"Sorry Master she still needs some adjustments in getting used to everyone now that shes not a Barker slave. But anyways I need Barkers head, just temporarily. I have discovered a way to make myself stronger."
Apprentice was the one speaking but it was definitely the words of Rai that came out of her mouth.

"Well then, you can take it off my cold dead hands. I'm keeping the head for my own reasons."
Tough luck, please try again never. This was his trophy. And he wasn't going to let Rai take it from him. And if he needed the head to get stronger. Well, that was something to ask about it. He turned to Hades.
"Is there something about his head I should know about?"
He already knew about the tattoos.

Hades would move to look at the head and reach into the side of his face and pull off a black mask, holding it through the mouth and eye holes he'd look at it.
"This is the only thing that looks off."
