PROLOGUE
*PRESENT DAY*
It was a family gathering of maybe 200 people, a time for story telling of events that the elders of the family had experienced in their lives, over 3 millennia of it for most of the elders. The family was gathered around the fire waiting for the stories to begin.
"Long ago in ancient Greece, there was an age of powerful gods and goddess," said a young man his bright red hair ablaze, dark eyes a sparkling like polished onyxes (FLARIOUS), his arms in the air ready to tell stories of heroes, monsters and adventures ones he had told a million times before.
Before he continued his tale a girl's hand shot up, Flarious looked at the little girl and sighed. 'Yes?"
"Uncle F, why don't you ever tell us stories about you?" asked the girl.
A man with black almost purple curly hair (DIONYSUS) answered for Flarious. "Because he is too modest to tell them," slapping his friend on the back.
"No, I am not," Flarious said, "Besides I'm sure you can get someone else to tell it to you, Chiron maybe. Now as I was saying…. Long ago in ancient Greece…" The truth was his story had always been over looked by the ancients and most of his relatives weren't willing to let Flarious' story be known. But his story was everywhere although his play in things was mostly erased by the sands of time.
This time he was interrupted by a man how looked like he was in his forties clean shaven and dark eyes (HADES), holding hands with a young woman with reddish brown hair and brown eyes (PERSPHONE). "Oh come on son, you know better than anyone that no one knows your story."
"If you want to tell it then go right ahead," said Flarious getting up from his bench in the center. He was never one for fighting why start now? Hades got up and sat down in the chair and Persephone sat next to him.
"Fine I will, who better to tell it then your old man. Now is everyone old enough to hear this?" asked Hades looking out to his relatives.
"Who cares, most of the stories they have heard are worse!" shouted a man with shaggy black hair that looked moist and sea green eyes (POSEIDON). As the man shouted this he and a few others walked over to help tell the story of Flarious.
"True brother true," said Hades, "Now where to begin? Well I suppose at the beginning would be good."
Flarious sat down among the young ones, his wife, Marina (BLACK HAIR AND SEA GREEN EYES) came over and sat down between his legs resting her head on his chest. "This is going to be interesting, "thought Flarious as he kissed her head.
Doing an impression of Flarious' style of storytelling Hades began "Long ago in ancient Greece….."
A/N: Merely Prologue dear readers. This is the story of Flarious (the forgotten flame) a Greek god of my own creation that I have put up in the course of history. The stuff in Bold and in CAPS means that it is either descriptions or names. This fic starts as a Hades x Persephone story and will eventually turn to Flarious be as Hades says here 'Start at the Beginning'. I am also doing something different for myself here, if any of you want to make a guest star appearance in the Present Day parts just PM or leave a review with the name you would like to be called, appearance you would like to have, godly parent you want (and yes if you like Flarious you can be his kid), and how you want to appear in the fic. Till next time dear readers : END A/N
