This is kinda a more detailed version of Esmeralda's intentions with the 'gifted' group.
STORY:
--Yada yada, Esmeralda kisses a guard, killing him.
-- Esmeralda is captured and locked away.
-- Hades presents himself to Esme.
-- He offers her a gift and a way out.
-- His gift is Steele, A dog that will help and protect her. (But steele is a special dog, he will not die unless Esme does)
-- Esmeralda accepts.
-- Steele, (Already in PROTECTIVE MODE) Growls at Hades, suspecting harm from him.
-- Hades Tells Esme since he helped her out, she has to do something for him.
-- Hades shows her Megera, the one who has called out all the other gifted people.
-- Hades tells Esme she must befriend Meg and the others, to gain their trust. Hades plans to use Esmeralda as a pawn.
-- Esmeralda agrees willingly, but still feels somewhat guilty(BUT hay, not her problem)
