Just Another Reason Why
Chapter One: Harmless Sickness part one
Normal P.O.V
"One in a few, till death do us part, sickening to the death god himself." Hades said while looking at a skull that was from someone who died, he barely keeps track on how much Ares and everyone else kills out of fun, anger, and pride.
"If there is one emotion the death god himself should not feel, its love. How can Aphrodite stand it? The way one person of a couple dies the other weeps. Sickening." Hades added, as he himself haven't been feeling much 'love' between his brothers and sisters lately, being in the Underworld and being busy most of the time keeps his mind off the ever growing pain he has long felt.
"Just another reason why I have been left with the place I love. The dead silence and work needing to be done with this place." Hades stood up. He was taller than anyone. He was about 9 feet tall, and had the blackest hair that covered an eye. He wore a long black shirt and long black pants. His cape was black as his hair and his eyes changed from bloody red, steel blue, and silver grey or plain black.
He had a gray bracelet in a pattern that was something that he made on his left arm. His tattoo was on his back, covering many scars and bruises that hid them away from his mother. It was just a whole bunch of thorns with purple or black orbs around it. In the center of it was a deep purple orb, branching off the thorns and smaller orbs.
He wanted the Underworld at the start, so he wouldn't listen to the other gods and goddesses about how powerful, beautiful, or better they are. How it sickened him to see them fight against each other for dominance over things that matter least to him.
Hades was one of those gods that rather work then sit around all day, unlike his brothers and sisters. Hades is the only god that works instead of rest, he rather stay awake then sleep or 'relax'.
How Hades won't stay still, because of him, the gods wouldn't won against the titans. His intelligence is greater than Athena and his skills are outmatched but any mortal or god alike, even titan. He was the one who thought about giving Zeus lightning as a weapon, and Poseidon the trident.
His weapons have an unlimited amount of power. The scythe, 3 point and 5 point metal claws, and more.
Hades moved down the steps from his black ebony throne. As a god he could've done this quickly, but he was the quickest out of all the gods.
Hecate came towards him.
"My lord, Thanatos is having trouble focusing." Hecate said. She was one of Hades' followers who listens to him only. She wears a white dress, but has black hair that changes to purple sometimes when she is happy.
"Thank you Hecate. I will fix it right away." Hades said.
"My lord, you don't have to, I can do it." Hecate offered. She herself even knows that Hades won't rest, so she made the law that if Hades won't rest, then the rest of them won't rest, even if Hades tells them to or not.
"No need Hecate, take the day off, you work too much." Hades said.
"My lord, you work too much, if you don't rest, we won't rest." Hecate reminded.
"So be it, if you refuse to rest, then I'll keep working if you don't mind. Rest anytime." Hades said, walking to where Thanatos works.
As Hades walked along the road, leading to Thanatos, he was stopped by Hecate's husband, Hypnos.
"Hello my lord, anything needed to serve you?" Hypnos asked.
Hypnos was the god of sleep, but was also made messenger of the Underworld. He has darkish-light purple hair and his eyes being the same. He wore purple mostly and even wears a gold bracelet up to his elbow. It was decorated with patterns of an ancient ritual. His tattoo was on his left arm. It was a purple flower with blue bubbles around it, going around in circles like a vortex.
"Nothing is needed, but can you go to Zeus and give him something for me, if it's too much to ask?" Hades asked.
"Of course sir, just one thing that got my attention. What do you want me to give him? A punch in the face." Hypnos guessed.
Hades chuckled slightly. "No, it's a message, but first I must warn you to stay away from Hermes, I don't need you getting a caterpillar forced down your throat and 3 weeks later burping up a butterfly again." Hades warned.
"Yes sir, I won't go near him after that very painful experience." Hypnos agreed.
"Tell him that I won't be able to visit him for another year or so, maybe even two years perhaps." Hades said.
"Ok, be back in a minute or so, faster than Hermes, but slower than you." Hypnos said and dashed off.
Hades continued to walk down the dusty road. He come across the one guy whose spirit is like the Underworld other then himself.
"Thanatos, focus much?" Hades called to his friend. Thanatos, Hypnos, and Hecate and two others he couldn't put his finger on right now are his friends. He always treated them like he was their brother instead of Zeus's.
"Uh, sorry lord Hades, just something that's on my mind." Thanatos answered.
Hades stared at his companion. He was, unlike his brother, very well built. He had short, but spiky black hair. He was huge by comparison to any other god or goddess down in the Underworld. He had black wings that he can retract if he wanted them too. But that's only if he was in a good mood.
He wore grayish clothing and one bracelet of gold on his left hand that was long and in a pattern. His tattoo was on his right arm. It was just a simple skull in fire and turning black cause of the ash.
"What would that be?" Hades asked, curiously.
"Nothing, it's just that, Ares and the others have done you so much, and they don't even know it." Thanatos said.
"And it's better to keep them guessing. Whenever I get stronger they become weaker, even the titans have no luck against me." Hades said getting closer to his gloomy friend.
"Just fool's luck can bring you down… what I'm I saying, not even that can tear you from your throne." Thanatos said, now smirking as Hades now reached his side.
"Right, but there was always something I would want to try." Hades said, smiling at the thought of his.
"What would that be, my lord?" Thanatos asked.
"You know how Zeus and the others don't know how I become powerful, stronger, a weapon powerful beyond belief?" Hades asked Thanatos.
"Yes my lord." Thanatos answered.
"Well, if I take the lives of few, and visit Zeus, I'll pretend to become sicker and weaker as the days or even years to go by to convince him that people need to die. But that's just it, I won't kill no one for a couple of years, let's see if that scares him." Hades said, smirking at what happened a few days ago, when Zeus asked Hades to don't kill any more, for his son's sake, so Ares can have more fun in wars.
"Zeus does want you to stop. But what difference will it make? You're stronger now than him, and yet he treats you like some second hand god." Thanatos said, getting annoyed by the thought that Zeus has no hope, nor respect for his older brother, and his lord.
"That's why we want them to worry." Hades said smiling and beginning to chuckle.
"Worry is stronger then joy." Thanatos said. "And that you can tell Zeus that you can't undo anything." Thanatos suggested enjoying the thought that Zeus might start to panic.
"Excellent my friend," Hades said. He too was enjoying the thought of his younger brother panicking.
"So it's settled." Hades asked.
"Go on with your plan my lord; I will enjoy the thought of Zeus crumbling with worry." Thanatos said now smiling.
"I'm enjoying the thought of making your day, and that has come true, but remember, this is just pretend." Hades said, reminding Thanatos.
"Of course my lord." Thanatos agreed.
Hades smirked slightly before leaving, then he walked toward his castle and his throne.
As he made it up the steps quickly, Hecate and Hypnos appeared at his side.
"Message sent, Lord Hades." Hypnos said.
"Thank you Hypnos." Hades thanked.
"Thanatos said that we're going to pull a prank on your brothers and sisters, is that true?" Hecate asked.
"Yes it is." Hades said.
"Great, Zeus wouldn't even know what hit him, you know why? Because we all have great acting skills, we can fool anybody." Hypnos said happily.
Hades smirked slightly once more.
"Yes Hypnos, how about we begin my era of sickness, shall we?" Hades asked his comrades, knowing Thanatos could hear him miles away, and that they all agreed.
Hades' hands glowed black and with a snap… there were no more deaths in the human world.
