Summary: Iridya is the Daughter of Demeter, Goddess of the Earth and Justice, and in order to protect her Sister, takes her place in the underworld as Hades queen. At first she hated him and wanted nothing to do with him. But as the centuries pasted by Iridya starts to feel something other than hatred towards Hades...Could it be love? Is she returning his feelings? Warning: the following story does not follow the myths I have decided to change it up to best suit the story. I hope you still find it a good read :)

"You want to take my Daughter and lock her away in the underworld?!" questioned Demeter "I will not let you, I need both my Daughters!"
"That's not how I understand it" Hades replied calmly as he sat on a chair near the window. "Iridya is not a goddess of Harvest like you and your other Daughter"
"Whether she is or not, I will not let you take her from me!" Demeter yelled in disappear.
"You have two beautiful daughters Demeter, and I will have one for a wife, you had better..." Hades started before being interrupted. Persephone quickly followed by Iridya burst into the room.
"Mother...I'm sorry I tried to stop her...What's going on..." Iridya noticed Demeter's face and the tension between her and Hades.
"Nothing, take your sister and..."
"Enough! Demeter... I will have no more of this which one will it be, choose now I will choose for you" Yelled Hades suddenly standing up and moving closer to Demeter.
"I told you, you cannot have her!" Demeter said as she stepped in front of her confused daughters.
"Very well, Have it your way" Hades smirked stepping forward, raising his arm and holding his Hand out to Persephone. "Come my dear, you shall be my queen"
"No!" Shrieked Demeter as she grabbed Persephone's shoulders and pulled her back behind her, at the same time Iridya leapt forward.
"No! I will go instead" she said looking between Hades still smirking face and her mother's distraught one, as she felt the tears welling in her eyes threatening to spill down her cheeks, she turned back to Hades and placed her hand in his waiting one "I will take my sisters place"
"So be it" With the having been made Hades Pulled Iridya to him, wrapping his arm around her waist to hold her in place against him, he sent Demeter a smirk before disappearing into the shadows with her eldest daughter.
"Iridya" Cried Demeter as she collapsed into a heap on the floor cradling the crying Persephone to her chest. Iridya's weeping face plaguing her thoughts.
