When Megara finally faced Hades, he just sat there.
"Meg?" his eyes glanced to her.
"Hades!" Meg said angrily.
Hades cleared his throat and faked a smile.
"Well, Meggie. What leads you down here now?"
"What do you think? Hercules soul!"
Hades raised an eyebrow. Then he chuckled. "Meg, Meg, Meg, what makes you think, Herci is dead?"
Meg shoved the letter into his face. He instantly recognized the signature.
"Krínos...oh, I understand..."
Hades took the letter. "She tried to make you believe he died, but, Meg, he's alive! You fell for a lie!"
Meg shook her head.
"Why'd Lady Krínos lie? You're the liar!"
"Because, my little Nut-Meg, Krínos is an incredible clever and cruel woman. She was born mortal, but then she gained god-like powers."
"And how'd you know?" Meg asked.
"Who do ya think gave them to her?"
Meg didn't speak.
"Hey, if ya don't believe me, fine! You can take a swim in the river of death, looking for your "sweetheart"," he subtly cringed at the last word,"but hey, don't complain if ya might not make it out alive."
Meg growled. "Okay, then you will help me, saving him!"
"Oh no! Nuh-huh! I owe you nothing."
"No, but maybe, someone could help you, gaining back some respect and trust from the other gods. After all, now that you're back you either face the consequences of your actions and take responsibility OR I'm sure Zeus will turn you mortal, as a punishment."
"WHAT?!" Hades yelled, his flames turned bright red.
He thought about it for a moment.
"Alright, alright, I'll do it."
"Yes!" Meg gently grabbed his hand thank you.
The touch of Megs hands on his slowly led to his flames turning even redder, before turning back to its normal blue color. For someone like him, it was like blushing.
"We shall go tomorrow!" Meg said. "I'll stay here over night."
"Wait a sec-" But before Hades could object, Meg had rushed to her old room.
