Next chapter! WOOHOO!!

The god of Time

Everyone slowly turned around, and instead of the scary person they expected, they found a young man.

The man looked about a year older than them. He had blonde hair and friendly blue eyes. He wore a white shirt and black cargo pants with black, steel-tipped, leather boots. He also wore a long short-sleeved, black leather coat that reached just below his knees. One of his most notable features was the five white wrist watches on his left arm and the three on his right. He also had three black stopwatches hanging from his neck and four platinum pocket watches dangling from the topmost, right pocket of his pants.

There also seemed to be a bleached skull hanging on a leather strap from his belt at his left hip.

"I mean, it's not that I'm not ecstatic to have someone come and visit me, but I'm a bit busy." he tried to compensate.

They introduced themselves to him while he picked up and examined an hourglass that had red sand slipping slowly through.

"What are you doing here, exactly?" He said looking up at them, and then whipped out a golden mirror and checking if his hair was right.

"We were sent by the Titans to find Neil." Aaron replied, "Do you know where he is?"

"Why of course." He said with a smile, "I'm Neil, god of time, beauty and temporary god of the Underworld."

"I'm so happy we finally found you!" Angie said looking ready to give him a hug and a smile lit up her face.

"But what do you mean, temporary god of the Underworld?" Jake asked.

"That stupid Hades came up to me and dumped this skull on me," Neil replied bitterly, indicating the skull hanging from his belt," then he said I'm the god of the Underworld so that he can go on a second honeymoon with Persephone, and then kept away from me for a year. Now each time I give it back to him, he returns it a week later."

"Oh." Hank said, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah, oh." Neil looked at them curiously, "Why did the Titans send you guys?"

"We're their grandchildren." Opal said dully, she was getting tired of the question.

"Really." Neil said quietly, "Well then, nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out.

"It's my grandpa's birthday today." Jamie said taking Neil's hand, "He asked us to come and get you."

"Oh yeah! It is Jay's birthday." Neil said. "Would you mind if I stop by Hades' place before I take you home?"

"Not at all." Hank answered for all of them, since he was fascinated with Greek mythology he wanted to see Hades with his own eyes.

Just then an orange portal opened before them and they all stared at it.

"Coming?" Neil asked before stepping through and Hank eagerly followed, as did the others.

When they saw the other side their mouths almost fell to the floor. There was a beautiful Greek building surrounded by a lush garden and a small stream flowed past them. It was nothing like the black buildings and screams they imagined.

Neil walked around the building until they saw Persephone and a purple skinned man sitting together on the grass. As soon as the man saw them he stood up and began to stutter something to Neil, who had a frown on his face.

"I-I'm sorry." The man cowered before Neil and held out his hand, in which the skull was placed moments later. They were surprised to see the skull suddenly chomp down on Hades' ear. "You've been spending too much time around Neil." he scolded the skull after he pried it off his ear.

"Whose fault is that?" Neil said over his shoulder and opening another portal through which he stepped.

I realize that Neil may be a little OOC but you have to remember he is the new god of Time and the Underworld.
