Hey guys, James here, and here's my first story. It starts off by adding one little thing, which changes a lot of things. It'll be multi-chapter, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or any characters in the story. (This goes for the rest of the story.)
Hades was not having the time of his immortal life.
He's endured so many things in his life, but the death of Maria di Angelo was probably the worst for him. Disgusted and filled with rage towards Zeus, the king of the Gods, for he was the one that ended Maria's life. Hades, the god of death, was in the Underworld, along the banks of the River Lethe. Bianca di Angelo was in his arms, while Nico di Angelo was being held by the Fury Alecto, Hades' servant and one of the Three Furies. Bianca and Nico were asleep. They had a magical enchantment that made them sleep for 48 hours.
"Are you sure you want to do this, my Lord?" She asked.
Hades nodded. "It is the only way. They'll forget their scarred past. Then I'll place them into the Lotus Casino, the building where time stands still."
At that moment, the Fates were carefully watching the scene unfold. They knew that if they did one little thing, the fates of a lot of people would change dramatically, good and bad. Two of the Fates looked at the third.
The third Fate nodded, and pointed at one of their strings, the one for Bianca di Angelo. At that moment, she flicked her finger. The string 'bounced' slightly, like a rubber band. It wasn't a strong flick, but strong enough, to slightly, wake up Bianca di Angelo.
She woke up, but didn't open her eyes. She felt that she was in her father's arms, but wasn't certain why.
"They're your children, my Lord. They'll forget everything, if we dip them in fully. Are you certain?"
Hades sighed wistfully. "Yes, I am. I'll keep them hidden for as long as I can. They will come out of the Hotel at some point."
"If he finds out…" Alecto started.
"That there are children of the Big Three around?" Hades spat. "He thinks they are dead. I have to hide them somewhere quickly, before he sees. It's harder for him to see something if it's in my domain. And I'll bring them out in at least eighty years."
Alecto sighed. "Now?" he asked.
"Now." He said, and that's when Bianca drifted back to sleep.
Alecto fully pushed Nico's whole body into the enchanted water. She pulled Nico's shirt, making sure that Nico didn't flow away in the water and also making sure the water didn't touch her hands.
Hades did the same, but he hesitated. (A/N: Let's just say this happened in both timelines.) Hades had her whole body in the water, except her forehead. He pulled her out quickly. Hades didn't know why he hesitated. But it didn't matter anyway. The enchantment was meant to make them sleep for 48 hours, and since Hades only left a small part out, she would only have recent, happened-five-minute-ago memories. But she had none, as far as Hades knew.
"Now to make them memories, my Lord?" Alecto asked. Hades nodded. Neither of them bothered to check their past memories. Godly-memory-taking wasn't recommended, because they could possibly remember a few things; possibly good or bad. It was better if it was none, so they took them to Lethe.
Once the magical memories were placed in their minds, Hades became really angry at Zeus. His eyes were full of flames, but they were also full of sadness. This was all Zeus, all Zeus's fault… but then he realized it wasn't just Zeus's fault.
It was also the person that issued the prophecy.
The Oracle of Delphi.
"I'm coming for you, Oracle." He muttered angrily.
"What was that, my Lord?" Alecto asked.
"Er, nothing, Alecto. Please send them to the Lotus Casino now. And thank you."
Alecto nodded, holding Bianca and Nico, and flew away.
Hades went to his palace, thinking about what he was going to do.
I hope you guys liked it! It's sorta my first fanfiction (sort of).
The next chapter will be in Hades and Percy's POV, and then the rest of the story will probably be Bianca's.
Remember to rate and review! (If you want to. ;P)
