Author's note: Hei! This is my second fan fiction and the first on this topic/theme. Other than the pairing of Hades and Persephone (or maybe not.) along with the other gods, this whole thing is totally from my head, so it'll differ from what you might know. But still, hope you enjoy!


There was a slight earthquake in Hell. And it was caused by, no other than the god of the underworld himself-Hades.

'Gah! Why did I ever agree to their stupid request in the first place?! What a fool I am!' Hades stomped across his room, his underling/best friend (may I add that he is also the god's only friend) stood calming at the door. He was used to this, as there wasn't a time when the god wasn't grumpy and angry.

'My lord, you have agreed to it, so may I suggest that you calm down and think about what we should do to the lady that will come down to us?' The daemon said to the still stomping god. Then he cocked his head. 'My lord, it seems that the goddess is at the other side of the river, and Charon is now bringing her to the palace.' He announced.

Hades groaned. 'What am I supposed to do with her?!'

'Like what the other gods said, marry her.' The daemon answered.

- Let's turn back the time, shall we? -

Two hours ago...

'My lord, they have arrived.' The daimon knocked on the door and said. He did not go in the room unless he was asked. It is, after all, the god's room.

'Yes, Iapis. Tell them I'll be there soon.' The daemon heard his lord's voice behind the door. 'Yes, lord.' He said and quickly left to send the message.

Afterwards, Hades made his way to his throne room. He felt many presence, although he only thought that there will only be a few. He frowned, but still kept his pace to the room.

'Well, he finally comes.' A woman's sarcastic voice said as he opened the door and strode in. Hades eyed her, who was the nearest to him. It was Artemis, clothed with her hunting tunic. Her bow and arrows were with her, as usual. She looked very angry, and so were the some of the others. 'What took you so long, God of the Underworld?'

'Lady Artemis.' Hades nodded, not planning to answer her question. Instead, he went straight to the two gads standing together. One was with blue eyes, while one was with sea-green eyes. 'Brother Zeus, brother Poseidon.' He greeted, ignoring the angry snort from Artemis.

'Hades.' They answered. 'It has been a while since our last meeting. How are you, brother?' Poseidon asked, smiling. He wore a tunic with color matching his eyes.

'Fine. May I ask the reason that you all are here?' Hades kept his tone of voice as not annoyed as possible. He so did not want any of this attention. He can do really well on his own, and he was fine with the daemon Iapis, but not with his family of god and goddess. He doesn't bond well with them, as he is the God of Underworld. Nobody likes the Underworld.

Actually, now that he had taken a look around, he saw that except for Hera and Hephaestus, the other Twelve Olympians were here. Mentally, he groaned. What now?

'It appears that you are the only one of us that does not have a wife or a child.' Zeus started, raising an eyebrow questioningly. It was normal for the gods to have a few children (like him) and maybe even a wife. But he has not heard about his dear brother with a companion.

Now it was Hades' turn to raise his eyebrow. 'And, if I may ask, have you been the god of marriage? What I plan for my future is not of your concern.' His face darkened. 'I suggest you all get out of my realm. Farewell.' He turned and strode away.

'Why do you always shun people away?' Apollo suddenly asked. He was frowning-well, of course. Nobody likes being shooed out of someone's home-as he looked at his uncle. He didn't like the god in the first place, but he shouldn't just treat them coldly! They are his family right?

Hades turned around abruptly. 'Shun people away?' He smiled a humorless smile. 'Have you ever wondered who shun who away in the first place, child? If you don't, I suggest you ask them!' He gestured at Zeus and Poseidon angrily. He did not care if he had offended any of them. This is his realm and he can do whatever he wants!

'Brother, please...' Poseidon tried to calm Hades down while Zeus shot a warning look at Apollo. Apollo pouted but stayed quiet. He was actually already warned, as with the rest of the group that had never meet Hades before, that he has a very short temper and that he liked to keep his distant. But, well, Apollo being Apollo, just erm...forgot.

'Brother, Apollo didn't mean that. I apologize for him.' Zeus said gently to his brother. The others were shocked. Fancy the King of Gods, apologizing! Again, Zeus gave them a warning glance for them not to say anything. It could take a while before Hades went back to his good mood, and it doesn't help when the others keep making him angry.

Hades simply harrumphed. He gestured 'go on' and said with the 'I'm-tired-of-this-just-finish-this' tone. 'Please, brother. Just say what you want to say then leave with the others. I'm not in a perfect mood to listen to all of you.' He sighed.

'Yes. Just, continuing the topic, we decided to have you a wife.' Seeing that Hades will not take any more formal nonsense, Zeus went straight to the point.

'... A wife.' Hades repeated coldly. 'You want me to have a wife?'

'Yes.'

'And who will that be, pray tell?' Hades' eyebrows were now twitching in anger.

'My daughter, Persephone.' Demeter took over the conversation. 'The goddess of Spring. I suppose that this realm of yours should use a bit of spring in it.' Demeter said.

Hades was shocked. 'Your daughter? But I thought you are very protective...did they threaten you?' That reason was what he could only think to make the very protective Demeter to be parted with her beloved daughter. But even so...

'Bah! Talk about logic! Do you think that I can be threatened by others? For your information, I'm just lending my daughter for you. You will try to get used to a woman in your life, then I'll take my daughter home. And also, 'Demeter glared at the god. 'You shall not harm my daughter!'

'Lend? I'm afraid that I do not understand.' He glared at his brother. It must be of his doings. 'Explain.'

Zeus shrugged. 'Well, we didn't have much maiden and we can't simply send a nymph to you. I asked if Persephone is allowed and Demeter agreed so that's that.'

'And as usual, you didn't ask for my opinion.' Hades hissed. 'I have enough of you and your schemes! Get the fuck out of my realm!' He boomed and the ground shook.

Poseidon rolled his eyes. 'Oh brother! You know that Zeus had always been like this! Just accept this and you will escape from it sooner, don't you think?' He just doesn't know why he and Zeus were so positive and everything, their brother has to be a passive god. Sure, his attitude is important to manage the Underworld, but he doesn't have to be like that every time!

Demeter was angrier. 'Are you saying that my daughter is not suited for you?!' She yelled.

'Oh! Just calm down for once and listen!' Zeus groaned and shouted for attention. Usually this would work, but when they were in the Underworld, or the realm of Hades where there is no sky to be seen, the God of the Sky's power was cut by half. So, he was quite ignored.

In the end, it was Hades who was the first to calm down. He turned to Zeus. 'So if I just accept this stupid offer you would let me be?' He asked.

'I swear by the river Styx that I will not bother you after this.' Zeus swore.

'...Alright then. I shall comply. Now get out of my sight!' Hades waved his hand.

Zeus nodded to the others. 'She will be coming by the latest tomorrow. I hope you will have a nice warm welcome for her.' Zeus looked seriously at Hades. After all, Persephone is his daughter too.

Hades' face darkened, but he nodded anyway. 'Of course.'

With that, the other gods disappeared and finally Hades was left alone.


Whew! Thought that I wouldn't end this one today! So any comment? I really need them because I had never let anybody see my stories before so there might be some mistakes here and there.

By the way, I know that they are really out of character, if you know what I mean. Because I know Zeus is supposed to be serious and stuff... So, like I said, comments!

And just, thanks for reading until here! I really appreciate it! Lots and lots of 3!
