Winding passages.

He was rather used to this maze, it was easy for people to get lost here and well, he made sure that many were never found. It was a lonely place, but was much prefered to the constant changing of scenery and people that were found elsewhere. It was not that he was afraid of change, just resistant to it... But right now there was a little bit less danger out in the hedge maze, It had been awhile since he had seen anyone and while he was getting hungry desired some conversation a little bit more than sustenance. Atleast for the moment.

He hid within the bush and brush, shifting around near the base unseen hunting for anyone that may be entering, or currently within the maze... It just better not be another human, why did they even bother coming out of their houses?

Tonight was a rather quiet night, and Hades wasn't quite sure how he felt about that. The quiet ment that there was nothing going on, no Euclides sending humans or other Euclides to his kingdom, No Amuni destroying those soulless Euclides. It ment there was no death, and this certainly would make one of a Hell type rather disappointed to say the very least. He lived and breathed to walk the streets at night and hear the crys of crack whores and winos, screaming as their souls were ripped out of their bodies violently just as their limbs might be being equally as ripped up, and sent plumeting to his realm. There was a soul trapped inside his body that longed to return to this place. But then again, the sounds of screaming all night long could turn very monotonous indeed, sometimes, dare he say...even annoying. "Oh please don't kill me, i have two children at home, blah diddy blah diddy blah.' Humans were weak...pathetic, and rather stupid. Like pleading with a Euclide could save their sorry excuses for lives. He chuckled to himself. Stupid indeed.

This particular night he found himself amoung the intricate maze that lay within Onyx Park, not a place he visited often, but it was a nice suprise every now and again to turn the corner and find a Euclide kill carcas. It always seemed to put a smile on his face. However with the quiet of the night he doubted he would find any such glorious suprises. Unlike other Amuni, Hades didn't have on his agenda to destroy any Euclides. Hell, he would probably befriend one if they werent so quick to judge or attack him....only then did he ever kill. No one attacked Hades and got away with it.....at least not without some rather fatal wounds. Indeed, Euclides were quite entertaining. This world, in his mind, would be lesser without them.

He heard a rustling in the bushes as he walked along a path in the maze lazily, and his ears instinctively percked forward. A smirk upon his maw, he smelled the surrounding area to find that there was another being here. Hmmm...finally something to break the ice of the night. "Peek-a-boo, I ssssssmell you." his smirk became wider after his serpentine voice issued his pseudo greeting, tongue flicking with pleasure. "Now the quesssssstion issss....are you hiding in attempt to catccchhh prey? Becaussssse if sssso, I'm afraid I tassssste rather loussssey, or at leasssst would asssssssume ssssso. Unlessss you have a tasssste for the corrupt, in whicccchhh cassssse, you may enjoy both my company and flesssshhhh."

[Thalron]

What was that sound? Foot steps? Another one had entered the maze it seemed, it was not a human either which promised somewhat more entertainment than he had really expected to find on such a day. But as he maneuvered through the hedges to find this new prey he scraped along a stray branch. Almost hissing at the Audacity of the bush to give away his presence, he held his tongue for the moment as one could never tell how observant the company may be.

But then came those words, Was he making fun of his Sspeach impediment?! What kind of creature was foolish enough to believe he could get away with something like that? Grr.... Hmm... Perhaps he had been mistaken, this other one apparently had not yet spotted his own snake like Visage, only smelled his presence. But after just a moment he had seen this new maze wanderer... A fellow Hell? But with a rather familiar accent on his words. "But I sssee you." He hissed out in a slightly annoyed manner before revealing himself, at least partially from the side of the hedge leaving the majority of himself hidden by the bushes. "My Preysss can Waitssss, I havesss no tasssste for the Corruptsss... We Ssshall only Sssseee if ourss company issss truely enjoyable..." He said with a rather amused Grin like smirk spreading across his features.

Of course it would be foolish to think that this encounter would end in anything but violence, But this serpent did not relish this idea and hoped, at least somewhat that perhaps this stranger was mostly interested in company as well. Hmm... That comment about not having a taste for corrupts wasn't completely true, he had simply not tried it yet... Of course he never thought of it as cannibalism when he ate even ones of his own kind, so long as they were not serpents or hells they were not truly of his kind.
