This was a very quick update. I am surprised with myself that I was able to get this out quickly.
One thing regarding my characters, they will be OC. I am an aspiring author and my imagination gets away from me sometimes. I cannot abide by the character specifications. Hope that doesn't bother you.
So here it is!
Chapter 3
Time had passed quickly for the immortals, and Lunaria or Ria as she was famously called was almost nine years old. Currently, Persephone was preparing for her beloved daughter's birthday celebration. Ria had grown up beautifully and she had everyone in the Underworld wrapped around her finger.
Lunaria was a loved child. James and Lily also played an equal role in raising her, and Persephone liked that. Having two sets of parents was good for the excitable child. Ria loved all four of her parents equally. Even during the summer, she IM'ed Persephone every day, and Demeter positively doted on her granddaughter.
Demeter had first seen Lunaria when she was five years old. Ria had come running in the Throne room, with a daisy in her hand. She was shouting about her accomplishment of reviving the dead flower for the world to hear. Demeter had been shocked but pleased to learn of her existence. She had even sworn not to reveal Lunaria's existence to Zeus, as the big bag of air would throw a fit if he found out.
It was 30th July and Persephone was in the Underworld expressly for her daughter's birthday. Hades was currently distracting Lunaria, by letting sit in a council meeting.
Despite being excitable, Lunaria was a very intelligent child and she had a knack for diffusing arguments before they could start (and thus she was found in the Throne Room quite often).
Melinoe, the Goddess of Ghosts and Lunaria's elder sister was decorating the ballroom and Demeter was in the kitchen baking a birthday cake.
Persephone was in her personal chambers, iris messaging the people that she wanted to invite. The current one being Lady Rhea.
"Of course I will attend Granddaughter. Lunaria is a delight to be around. Her birth celebration should be a grand event, so I will definitely be gracing your palace with my presence. Perhaps I shall stay for a few days." Lady Rhea was a regal woman, with her long brown hair woven with flowers. Her eyes were the colour of warm honey, but this did not detract from her aura of power. Lady Rhea was a Titaness and a former Queen, and it reflected in her actions and speech patterns. Her lionesses were quite docile unless provoked, much like Rhea herself. She had no place on Olympus (because of Zeus' arrogance and paranoia), thus she found solace with her eldest son and eldest daughter, as Hestia visited the Underworld quite often.
Just as Persephone cut off the connection, she heard the sweet voice of her daughter. She decided to address Lunaria, "Is the meeting already over, sweetheart? I thought they were discussing the sudden influx of souls and how they could increase the dimensions of Asphodel Fields?"
"Oh Yes! But Father was becoming too angry at Zeus so he decided to cool off his head. You know how he gets, griping about the unfairness of it all." Lunaria whined. Persephone did not comment on her tone, she had been raised to be the perfect princess and had etiquette lessons from the day she could walk. But she was still a child and deserved some reprieve from all that.
Lunaria's voice was excited when she spoke the next part." Mother, what are you getting me for my birthday? And what has Father decided about Hogwarts. I know it is still two years away, but I don't want to go there. That manipulative old coot will try to make me his puppet. And I will have to dance to his tune because father said that he could not know about the gods. I won't be able to go into the house I want because any house other than Gryffindor will make Dumb-old-door suspicious. And he has been trying to get his grubby hands on my fortuneā¦"
Persephone tuned out the moping voice of her daughter. She would never say this to her, but Lunaria had inherited her Father's habit of griping. Once Ria started on a tirade, absolutely no one was able to stop her. So Persephone left her daughter to get her frustration and went to look for Hades.
My chapters for this story will not have a specific word limit. They can be of 200 words or 2000. I write all my chapters in a single sitting, so the length will depend on my mood and inspiration.
One important question: What should be Lunaria's godly domains? I want everyone to leave a review about it, or PM me. The story won't progress far without your suggestions.
PEACE OUT!
