Hades, the god of the underworld, sat restlessly on his throne. Nothing seems to amuse him anymore. Not the tastiest food and wine, not the hot demons or fallen angels and not even the screaming souls who plead for help and freedom.
What was he craving for? He didn't know, all he knew was his cold beating heart felt empty and nothing in the whole underworld could fill that emptiness.
"The underworld is such a bore, maybe it's time for me to visit my brothers and sisters." He said.
He called forth his chariot and rode on it towards Mt. Olympus.
"Brother!" Zeus greeted the charcoal haired crimson eyed god of the underworld. The god of the underworld wore a white button down shirt that had rolled up sleeves, topped with a black pinstriped vest that had a small chain on the right pocket which paired his black pinstriped slacks and on his feet were black leather shoes that shone even in the darkest places. While he wore his usual white toga with golden laurels on his head.
"I see you're still wearing that silly bed sheet." Hades commented, referring to Zeus' toga.
"SILLY? What nonsense, this is the latest fad!"
"Whatever you say, Zeusy."
"So, what made a busy god like you drop by so suddenly?"
"Why? Can't I visit my lil bro once in a while?"
Zeus arched a brow, they both knew that wasn't the real reason.
"Well anyways, I'm going to look around. See if there's anything new."
"Okay, just don't make too much trouble."
"I'll try." He smirked before leaving.
Even though Demeter, the goddess of harvest, was busy making all the crops in the world grow, she always had time for her daughter, Persephone.
Persephone was a beautiful young lady and as beautiful as she was on the outside, she was just as beautiful in the inside. She was known to be a cheerful young lady, and gods would drool over her despite Demeter's overprotectiveness.
"Mother, I'll go and pick some flowers from the garden." Persephone told her mother.
"Okay, be careful. Don't let the Gods woo you!" Demeter warned.
"I won't, mother." Persephone smiled cheerfully before walking off to the nearby garden.
As she picked some flowers from the garden, she noticed that most of them were somehow different.
"W-what happened to my flowers? They seem to have lost their color somehow."
She gently touched the flowers with her delicate hands. She felt sad for the withering flowers.
Right at that moment, Hades passed by and caught a glimpse of the long blonde haired, apple green eyed young lady who was clothed by a flowy white sun dress that showed off her smooth and healthy skin.
He couldn't help but stare at the beautiful goddess, his cold empty heart suddenly felt warm and it never felt like that before even though he lived in a hot place like the underworld.
He commanded his chariot to come to a halt and land on the garden. As he set foot on the garden, all the plants around him withered in an instant.
"Are you the reason why these flowers are dying?" Persephone who once was cheerful was now upset.
"All mortal living things are meant to die sometime." Hades said coolly, walking towards her.
"What's going on? Who are you talking to-" Demeter gasped when she realized who was standing in front of her daughter. She flew between Hades and her daughter, her hands on her waist.
"What are you doing here and what do you want with my daughter?" she demanded, her eyes narrowed.
"Is that how you greet you brother?" Hades wore a devilish grin.
"Brother? So does that mean he's my uncle?" Persephone asked, popping out from her mother's cover.
"Oh, how rude of me. I haven't introduced myself. I'm Hades, the god of the underworld and death. It's a pleasure to meet you, Persephone."
"Yes, and hopefully this will be the LAST." Demeter interrupted, covering her daughter from Hades' sight.
"Obviously I'm not welcome here." He said, faking disappointment.
"OBVIOUSLY." Demeter repeated.
"Well, I better be heading off. See you around, Persephone." He said, grinning at her.
"Are you alright, dear? Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I'm okay mom. The only thing that got hurt was the flowers."
"Listen, you must promise me that you will never talk to him again!"
"If the flowers don't like him, then neither do I."
"I'm glad to hear that." Demeter said, hugging her.
"Now let's go in and have some herbal tea."
"Okay."
That's all for today, I might add more tomorrow. Depends on how many views I get. -w-
