Secrets About Becoming The Queen Of The Underworld

To My Dearest Mother,

I find that am tired of hearing the many accusations you say about my Husband. I know you hate him for "taking me from you."

I know you think I suffer, even when I tell you how happy I am. You don't believe me.

Everyone knows the story of how I became the wife of Hades.

I was kidnapped.

I was forced. It was a forced marriage.

I was tricked.

I was soo devastated that I was taken away from my Mother.

Well... That is all perfectly true, if they only believe everything that you, Goddess Demeter, says.

Well Mother, I am writing this book, like a memoir of sorts. My Husband and I just didn't care to correct you on how it really happened and how relationship really is.

But now I feel that you need to know my side, everyone knows of only how you suffered. I confess that I wasn't as truthful and honest as you believed me to be. But how can a daughter not withhold things from a Mother who at any mention of going out with friends, your first thought is that I need to be hidden so nothing bad happens.

No wonder my Husband had to resort to such extreme measures when he found out you weren't watching over me that day on the field.

Of course, at first I was furious he had taken me that way in the first place!

So for you Mother...

I must begin even before "My Abduction" for you to understand, how my marriage to my Husband is the best thing that I have and the love that we have for each other is true and honest.

I will reveal every secret I kept from you, and hopefully you will better understand, and maybe you can accept that Hades will forever be my Husband and that I truly am extremely happy about it.

I only ask that you finish reading the whole story, even if you don't want to learn or believe the words that you are reading. We can discuss anything you might doubt when I go to visit you.

Hermes is just repaying a favor he owes me by sending you this package. He made it clear that he doesn't want to become my personal carrier pigeon.

I Love you, but I also Love Hades. I hope you can forgive me for keeping secrets and not telling you many things, but I am happy.

Your loving Daughter,

Persephone

Hermes-

As requested for our bargain. The first copy is for my mother. The second is for you.

Can I just say that you are one sick bastard!

I even told Hades that you had requested the uncensored version of my story, and he just got a bigger ego! There goes my hope for forcing you to just get the one my mother's getting.

I also have to say that you are lucky I can't bring or return anything when crossing between the Worlds.

But alas, I am not ashamed or embarrassed of the intimate details about my relationship. I guess you got tired of the endless escapades that Zeus and the other gods have been in.

Everyone is just too afraid of Hades's reactions if any stories are told about him without his consent, I guess him being the Lord of the Dead is warning enough.

Since I know you, Hermes, you won't be able to keep this story to yourself and possibly make copies for anyone who asks.

I only ask and my Husband also sends out a warning!

Don't mention this "version" to my Mother. I will tell her when I see her next time, its not something I can tell her in a letter. I wish to discuss it with her in person, and I don't think you would like becoming our "carrier pigeon."

This shouldn't be too hard for you, since she rarely socializes with anyone.

I guess all I can say to you and everyone else you might pass this to is enjoy...and hopefully you are as surprised by the truth compared to what you all think actually happened.

-Persephone, Queen of the Underworld

A/N : So this the story about Persephone and her becoming Hade's Bride. I twisted and added a few details. Its told in her POV, and she is FINIALLY speaking up about what really happened, and why Hades chose her? I hope u enjoy my version!
