Before leaving Torseque, Hades was given an emblem of the nation—something that would let him pass into Elven territory without any trouble.
He truly needed it, since he had no documents to prove his travel.
The very next morning, once he had fully recovered, they left Torseque behind.
Their next destination was a place known as Nowhere—a vast forest that stretched between two nations, infamous for being the home of many powerful monsters.
Before heading to the dragon realm, Hades also wanted to stop by the County and visit his mother. If he couldn't meet her in person, he at least wanted to send a letter—to her and to Thalia.
He didn't know how long he would be gone, or if he would ever return. That was why he wanted to leave behind a part of himself for the people he loved.
