Okay, here's the first part of my story. I'm going to start with an explanation, and then actually get into dialouge. It may get confusing, or just such in description, but that's what comments are for. So let's get started:
The first matter to address is the Underworld itself. I don't relish the idea of having to describe it, but it needs to be done. So the way we see it is that the underworld looks like a giant compass rose from the air. To the north is the castle and where the nobles live, to the west is the route to heaven, the east is hell, and the south is where all of the souls come together. To save space, the underworld invented the Space Saving Teleportation Device. These purple gems located throughout the underworld will teleport it's user to the section of the underworld he or she lives in, or wherever they wish to go.
The concept between heaven and hell is much different. The underworld is blocked by gates, which are locked magically and guarded by balors. The route to heaven is blocked to everyone unless they perform enough righteous acts in the underworld. The gate to hell is open at all times, showing that anyone can easily go to hell, but to go to heaven they need to strive for it. A vast majority of the path to hell is in fact wilderness, and many of the farmers of the underworld farm and provide food through these pastures, but stay FAR away from the Skeleton's Land. The Skeleton's Land is the last location before hell, and the path is paved with bones.
The route to the castle is blocked to the normal underworlders, and only nobles can enter the castle, but they cannot enter the normalm parts of the city. The centerpiece of the underworld is a large fountain, which all of the underworlders gather to sell random things or food.
Alright, that's the underworld for you. The first part of the story occurs in an old house in the commoners section of the underworld, where the King, who is not the King at the time, is made. Yes made. You'll get it.
So here's the story's explanation part: It was not very long after Skorn was attacked by the gods of the Underworld, Maxlor and Darkvein. They both resented him for being a mortal who achieved god-status, and cursed him with the form of a naga and sent him to the underworld for the rest of his days. He had hatched an elaborate plan to regain his power. He had created a man, named Durin, who was to lead a rebellion against the Princess. But things turned out better than he planned: The man fell in love with her. At nights he would sit on the roof and play a flute for her, then recieve a scolding from Skorn later. While Durin was going through Skorn's assortment of artifacts, he came across a lamp. He rubbed it, and out flew Lock, Shock, and Barrel, Skorn's old servants. They had dissobeyed him in the past, so he locked the trio in Lock's own lamp. Lock wanted to get back at Skorn, so he had his ow plan. He turned Durin into a noble and went to woo the princess.
"Come on...it won't be so bad. I've got plenty of magic to spare, and with our help, you can easily win her heart!" "I don't know...master said that I'm not going to be loved. I'm going to be hated..." "Naw! With our help, no one can resist you...except we have to cover the bony part. You know, your face. Being artificial aint really all that attractive..." Lock paces back and forth for a second, then takes a fake picture with his four claws. He makes odd hand gestures and zaps Durin with a purple blast of magic. When the smoke falls, Durin is wearing a large black robe, and his head is changed into a pumpkin. "What did you do to my head!" Durin yells when he looks in the mirror. "Oh shut up. In the underworld, when a suitor doesn't want his identity or facial features revealed, he wears that. Now come on...we have a party to go to." "Party?" "Yeah. The princess is lookiing for a suitor, and now is the perfect time. Come on..."
