(Looks like im starting this then, edits can be done. It was just a bit hard to know how this place looks)
Henry walked along the dark murky streets, avoiding everyone that passes him by. He is not completely sure what is waiting for him, but he does not care. All that’s on his mind is to get to the underworld. He sneaks around trying not to get seen, because he knows the moment his parents hear about this they will fry him alive. They have told him to say away from this place, that he should never set his foot inside the door, but from what he has heard this is where everyone gathers.
Walking along he picks up speed, almost running. He has to get there, he just has to. From what he knows he has to go north and he also knows it’s an old gang lair. He walks by stores, houses until he ends up standing in the middle of the street without a single clue of where to go. “Just my luck” He says to himself as he starts walking back and forth. “Where can this place be?” as he asks himself he looks around himself once again.
But there, in the corner of his eye he sees someone heading for an old building. Whoever it is, is much faster than him and he can’t keep up, but at least now he has an idea of where he could try to go. Running towards the building he sees that it looks dark, but it feels strangely right to head towards it. He heads to the door, but then out of the shadows a guard shows up and pushes him back. Henry stands there clearly freaked out.
The huge guard looks down at him and with a deep voice says "Never seen you around here kid, what do you want ?" it takes a few moments before he asks "Kid are you deaf ? Why...are...you...here ?" He says the last part extremely slowly to make sure that even the dumbest guys around would get it.
"I.. I want to get into the underworld. " Henry says stuttering a bit, but still keeping his calm, at least on the outside. "It's here, right ?" the way Henry asks makes the guard laugh, but he explains that Henry is right and that this is the way into the underworld. However if he should let Henry in was a totally other question.
"Show me kid, show me that you belong down there" just those few words makes Henry question if this is really worth it, what if he fails ? what is even down there ?
Henry takes a deep breath and then snaps his fingers a few sparks fly into to the air, but the guard does not seem to have noticed. Henry again takes a deep breath, but this time he does not snap his fingers. He makes a low hymning sound, its clear, calm and most of all melodious. Soon a small wind blows trough the area and then out of nowhere it happens, a small fire floats in Henry's hand, getting bigger as his voice goes up pitches.
The guard steps away "your alright kid, just don't get killed" and with that the guard melts into the shadows once again. Henry lets the flame fade out and then he walks into the underworld, for the first time in his life he does not have to hide who he is.
