A young man once asked, "Is the wall there to protect us from the other side or is it there to protect them from us?"
Pointless, really, that is unless you are familiar with the town of Atlantis. See, there's a mysterious wall that nobody can figure out, it separates Atlantis from the wild forest that is visible from above the wall. Residents don't go near the wall. It is protected by an elderly gentleman by the name of Chiron. Who, at this moment, is arguing with a young Hades. Chiron glared at the young man, "I am the guardian of this portal to a strange world, and you, Mr. Hades, are asking me to let you through?"
Hade smiled at Chiron. "Yes, sir, look, let's be honest. It's a wood. Do you see anything that could imply anyone lives there, sir?"
"Hundreds of years, this wall has been here. Hundreds of years it has been under guard. I will not let you through, sir. Now, get lost before I have you brought before the Atlantis council."
Hades sighed. "Alright, that sounds rather final."
He turned around, and started to walk away. Chiron smiled at him, "Alright, young Hades. Go home and rest." They parted and slowly drifted. Hades watched and smiled. When Chiron was a good distance away, Hades turned and ran through the hole. Chiron kept yelling, "Hades, Stop!"
Hades ran through the woods and soon came upon a village. He walked through the village until he came upon a stall. He saw a beautiful woman, in a flowing green dress. Soon, his sight was blocked by an ugly woman with warts on her face and wearing drab brown rags. She looked at him, "I don't deal with time wasters! Maria, Watch the stall while I go to the Gods Inn for a pint!"
Maria got up, and rolling her eyes at the woman, came up to the stall. The two stared at each other, and had a conversation in quiet tones. Soon, the girl had given him a single white flower, she called it snowdrop. All she asked for in exchange was a kiss, and he gave her one, which turned into a long kiss. After they stopped, she held out her hand, "come with me."
He smiled and followed her, but noticed a rope tied around her ankle. He looked at her in confusion. She smiled, "I am a princess, tricked into being a witch's slave. Can you liberate me?"
He pulled out a knife and cut the cord, to his amazement the cord repaired itself. The princess sighed. "I will be freed once that witch is dead, woe is me."
Hades looked at her, "What would you have, princess if you can't be free?"
Maria's eyes widened at him, "Come, Hades."
The two went into the witch's trailer which started rocking.
The wall had successfully done its job of hiding the kingdom of Olympus from the people of Atlantis. The young man returned that night to Atlantis, in hopes that his adventures would soon be forgotten. But it wasn't to be. Nine months after his adventures, Chiron appeared at his door with an unexpected surprise. Chiron looked at Hades. "This was left at the wall for you. Says his name is Nico."
Hades stared down at the tiny baby. He looked at Chiron and nodded. Hades took the baby and closed the door. Chiron smiled at the door, "Good luck, Hades."
