Chapter One
Hades asks advice from Death
Hades paced back and forth in the throne room of his Underworld Palace. Beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. His facial expression showed worry and dismay. He had been like this for almost an hour when a man in a dark suit with pale skin entered.
"My Lord" he greeted.
"ahhh Thanatos, finally you have arrived. I assume all souls have been collected today?" Hades asked the his most faithful Lieutenant.
"Yes, My Lord. But some souls refused to go. They had trouble believing they have departed." He answered.
"the usual." Hades rolled his eyes. "But I did not summon you here to talk about work. I need your advice on something."
"What is it My Lord?"
"Persephone." His eyes gloomed. His voice sounded like he was about to cry. But being the god of the underworld, he regained his composture. "She hasn't talked about me ever since that, uh, ever since she found out about Maria." He choked when she said her name. Maria di Angelo was still a sore subject for Hades. "I don't know what to do. She doesn't sleep in the palace and stays at Hecate's house."
"Well, err Sire I think you asked the wrong immortal." Thanatos answered. "I have been out of the dating game exactly 3125 years ago. Women to me is as foreign as giving birth."
"You're right. Sorry to have bothered you. It's just that it's been months since she last talked to me. Hecate won't let me talk to her. Whenever she goes to palace, she will just go straight to her garden to tend her plants. I just ..."
He stopped talking. He just couldn't say it without shedding a few tears and the god of the underworld do not shed even a few tears. He has a reputation to uphold. He wanted to say he misses her. Her almond-shaped eyes. Her plump luscious lips. Her auburn hair that smelled like jasmine or sometimes roses. He knew he messed up. He cheated on her and it was the gravest mistake he ever did.
"My Lord? Are you okay?" Thanatos asked.
"Yes, I just got lost in thought that's all." He answered. He turned his back and decided to go to their room and just rest. When he was about to leave Thanatos called him.
"My Lord, I may not give an excellent advice but I think I know who will." Thanatos said.
"Who? Hopefully not Charon because he'll just bring the topic of his raise" answered Hades.
"Well, no one knows Lady Persephone like she does."
"Oh Tartarus!" Hades rolled his eyes. He knew where to go. Black mist started to form around him and before he disappeared he gulped and said, "I'm about to meet my worst nightmare"
