I own nothing
Demeter awoke very early the next morning. She walked to her daughter room then knocked on the door. After there was no answer she opened the door and found the room untouched. The bed did not even look slept in. It looked the same as it did before they left for the party. There was no note or anything to indicate where Persephone was at all. Demeter set out looking for her daughter. She looked in all the places that she normally was at with no luck. Demeter knew her and Persephone had their rough patches but this was starting to scare her. She would never just vanish without a trace. Demeter then went to the one place that she hope could give her answers where her baby was. Zeus palace, Zeus sat on his throne with Hera at his right in her own throne.
"Demeter what seems to be the problem?" Zeus asked
"I cannot find Persephone anywhere." Demeter said
"Some gods just after getting the full deal do take a year off and explore the world that they live in. She could be doing that. And I am sure where every she is she is safe" Hera said
"Hera does have a point" Zeus stated.
"My daughter would never do that" Demeter argued.
"Tell you what, if Persephone is not back in a year. And there is no sign of her we will search the Heavens, earth and the Underworld for her." Zeus said
Persephone awoke in her room in the underworld. The room was done in deep shades of midnight blue and purple with accents of silver. She walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out a royal blue dress. The dress wrap around her body like a glove. It was sleeveless for the most part. It had silver cuff that clasped around her wrist and had soft royal blue fabric that draped from the cuffs to her shoulders. The two straps were held in place with toga pins that the same as the one Hades has on his only smaller. Persephone noticed something different about herself. But she could not put her finger on it. She walked to the river Styx to look at her reflection. To her own shock her hair had darken to rich reddish brown where normally her flowers were in her hair now had silver crown that has huge blue gems. The silver crown on her head seem to match that of Hera which somewhat shocked her. She got up and walked back to Hades castle. She notice a lot of the souls seem to bow to her. Persephone walked to an area outside the castle. And place her hands in the dirt and focus on her power. Suddenly a plant started to grow. It grew into a full size plant in a matter of seconds. She opened her eyes and saw that it had not died. She spent the next hour creating a garden that was a place of life in the world of the dead. Mind you no one could see her crown on her head and this was the first real time she could use her powers without having something horrible happen. So she went a little overboard.
Pain and Panic made their way to were Persephone was at because so many of the souls were talking of woman they did not recognize. Persephone seem to her them coming because she wave her hands over her face which change the crown to five silver flowers with large rich blue centers her hair remain the rich reddish brown. The time Pain and Panic found her, Nyx showed up. Nyx stay back in the shadows only going to show herself if need me. Pain grabbed Persephone arm and pulled her away from the garden that she had created.
"Who are you" Pain asked
"Yeah who are you" Panic asked
"It me Persephone" Persephone said
"Yeah right…" Pain started
"Persephone has golden hair you're not gold at all" Panic finished.
"It really me guys what can I do to show you it me" Persephone pleaded.
"Tell it to Hades" Pain said
"Guys there is no need to take me to Hades, it would only end up with you get burn to crisp." Persephone tried again.
Not, that she did not want to see Hades but this was over kill by a long way. Nyx took that moment to enter the fight.
"Pain, Panic she is telling you the truth." Nyx said
"How do you know it she could be lying" Panic said
Hades who was taking a break from his work for a millisecond came across the scene. He took one look at the woman in question and saw that it was Persephone. Her deep blue eyes gave her away. It only took him a moment to go from cool and calm to boiling mad.
"Let go of me your hurting me" Persephone yelped.
"I don't think so sister" Pain said
"I would do as she asked" Nyx stated.
"Nyx stay out of this" Pain stated
"Yeah this is not your business" Panic said
"Boys, what go on here" Hades asked.
Pain and Panic look so pleased with their selves. They pulled Persephone closer to Hades expecting to get a reward for get the disturbance. Persephone winced when she nearly fell as she was being pulled forward.
"Let her go" Hades yelled.
"Why she is intruder." Panic stated.
"This is Persephone my girl." Hades stated
Pain let go of her like she burned him. She went to fall forward from trying to pull her arm out and then abruptly being let go of. Hades caught her faster than Zeus's lighting. She was cradle with arm to his chest while the other a fire ball formed and then was thrown at Pain and Panic. Pain and Panic were needless to say not very happy thereafter for the next couple of day they would not go near Persephone. Nyx shook her head and walked off see that all was taken care of.
