Author's Note:

Sorry for the long wait, you guys. I have been busy with school work and all (if you guys want to know, I'm 15)

Thanks for the good reviews. I appreciate it :)

On a random note, I am beginning to notice that I might have accidentally titled this story because of Wrath of the Titans, which totally sucked. But I like the title, so it stays.

Now, on to the story.


"Are you sure that we are going in the right direction?" Theseus asked unsurely.

Pirithous did not look back at his friend and continued to take even bigger strides through the snowy forest.

"Of course, we are. Now can you stop questioning me?" he snaps.

"How am I supposed to trust that you know the way, Pirithous?" Theseus exclaims.

Finally, Pirithous stops and looks at his friend with a hard edge in his eyes.

"I had a dream that I was standing in front of a cave that was hidden amongst the mountains on the outskirts of the province. Then, I hear my father saying to me, 'My son. Enter the mouth of this cavern. Enter the Underworld, where your future bride awaits your arrival.' Even my father is helping me! And judging by his words, the loving Persephone is waiting for me to rescue her right now! That is why we have no time for rest! Get a move on, Theseus! And to think you slayed the Minotaur!"

After giving a grunt of annoyance, Pirithous continues walking ahead. Theseus stares at him, watching him stomp further away, as he thinks to himself, This will really not turn out well.

In Olympus, Zeus watches their conversation in his own see-all mirror. He smiles, marvelling to himself about the trouble his foolish son was about to run into.


"You have summoned me, my lord?" Thanatos asks as he bows before his king and queen.

Persephone remains silent, sitting with womanly etiquette on her throne, as she looks from the personification of death to her husband.

Hades sat on his throne with an air of power, his back against the backrest, his elbow on his armrest and his chin propped up on his hand.

"Yes, Thanatos. I want to know how the preparations are going," he asks in his masculine voice.

"It is complete, my lord. The dining room you have requested is set up and the finest dishes have been prepared."

"And our robes?" Hades asks, this time gesturing to Persephone with his other hand.

"It is all prepared in your chambers," Thanatos answers.

Hades smirks. "Well done, Thanatos. You have never failed me."

"Will that be all, my lord?"

"Actually no."

Thanatos finally straightens up and looks at his master.

Hades looks at his wedding ring, a simple but elegantly carved band of silver, on his left ring finger as he says, "Our guests are demigods. They will arrive at the gates soon; two hours at latest. I would like you to personally collect them. And inform Charon that they will not be paying him obols, as I have requested for them."

Before Thanatos could say anything, Hades adds in, "One more thing. When you greet them, inform them that you are sent by Lady Persephone and that it is she who arranged this dinner. Is that clear?"

With no questions asked, Thanatos nods. "Yes, my lord."

"Then you are dismissed."

Thanatos bows once more before leaving the throne room.

"This plan of yours is quite grand, don't you think?" Persephone asks him.

Hades turns his head to look at her with a mischievous smile on his lips.

"But it has to be, my lovely queen. It is so that they will not suspect a thing," he says proudly, reaching a hand out to run his fingers through her hair.

She raises an eyebrow. "Is he really that foolish?"

He begins to laugh to himself.

"Fortunately, yes."


They were both in the small pool in the bathroom of their chambers, washing themselves up for the 'feast'.

Hades remains quiet as his wife, who stood behind him, massages his tense shoulders gently, and rather seductively.

"Does it hurt, my lord?" she whispers in his ear, her warm breath trickling his skin.

He sighs. "It doesn't. In fact, it is wonderful."

Slowly, she stops rubbing his shoulders and slides her hands down to feel his well-toned chest.

"You are really protective of me, aren't you?" she says into his ear.

He turns and gazes into her amber eyes as he solemnly says, "Yes, I am. You are my wife and my queen. In short, you are mine."

She smiles and cups her hands under the sides of his jaw. Hades wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her to him.

She leans in to press a kiss to his lips. He kisses back gently as she whispers, "He is so foolish to say those words about you. You are not a useless husband. I am pleased to be with you. Only you. I would rather be walking around the Earth all by myself for an eternity than be his bride."

Hades only smiles against her lips.


Theseus and Pirithous walks into the cave. It was huge and it got darker with each step. Theseus sets fire to a torch he brought and lights up the way.

"This is huge. I did not think a cave like this existed," he marvels as he looks at the certainly high ceiling.

"True. This seems like the perfect entrance to the Underworld," Pirithous added.

As they continued walking for a very long time, the finally found it.

The Gates of the Underworld.

It was tall, nearly reaching the ceiling of the cave. It was made of black steel and was designed intricately. It was a piece of art.

As they both marvelled at it, Theseus suddenly asks, "How do we get in?"

On cue, the gates open towards them. They both jumped in shock and take a few steps back, allowing the gates to open.

After it had stopped moving, the two of them entered the Underworld slowly.

"Be careful," Pirtihous whispers. "We won't know what dangers lurk-"

"Good evening, gentlemen."

They both jumped and shouted in shock. Theseus shines the light in the direction of the voice.

They find a man standing there. He was young, probably in his early-thirties, and had long white hair. He was tall and skinny, had skin that was as pale as a ghost and was dressed in a long grey chiton. He seemed to glow from the light of Theseus' torch.

"Who are you?" Pirithous asks defensively.

Without flinching, the man answers, "I am Thanatos, the personification of death and servant to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone. I have been asked by my lady to personally escort you to the dinner that she is hosting."

Theseus and Pirithous stares at him with wide eyes, and then to each other.

Pirithous could not believe his luck. Not only was Persephone waiting for him, she had even arranged a dinner for his arrival. The gods must truly be on his side.

"Of course," Pirithous says with an air of pride. "Lead the way."

Thanatos nods once and moves deeper into the cave, the two demigods following right behind him.


Author's Note #2:

If you guys kinda noticed, I envisioned Hades and Persephone and the Underworld similarly to my other story, Never Again. I have always envisioned Thanatos to be pale because he is death, after all. Pirithous looks the same like his Never Again counterpart.

Next chapter will be up soon, I promise.
