After Death
chapter ten
"Where the fucking hell are we?!" Luxord snapped, looking around. It wasn't everyday a human was looking face to face with a three headed dog. A massive… three headed dog. Each tooth easily twice the size of Luxord's own head. He paled, almost waiting for the beast to bend down and devour him in one fell swoop. His hands clenched and unclenched, in dread. When nothing came, he dared to look around, seeing a dank river flowing down the long cavern, with slightly glowing musty water, the tendrils of fog flowing over the black sandy bank. The walls of the cavern were dripping with moisture, and the sounds of the dead were loud and fearful. Luxord turned back to the dog, to see it nuzzling against… "Death…?"
"Hades, please. Or Axel, which is my human name." Hades said, looking over at Luxord, with a tilted head, and smiled gently. His eyes were an unearthly green, his skin an inhuman pale, his hair an immortal red. Everything was sharper, brighter, and more… intoxicating. Luxord remained silent for a long time, thinking about this.
"Hades… the God of Death?" He ran a hand through his hair. "Fuckin' great. A god wants me dead!"
"Actually, this god just saved your life, though you did manage to kill me once. If it makes you feel better." Axel said, moving away from the nearly purring Cerberus, whom seemed to whine pathetically. Axel chided the dog with a bap on each nose, before turning back, and looking over the assassin with an analytical eye. "For a mere mortal, you certainly know how to stay alive, which is certainly a troublesome matter."
"Why is that?"
"Because you have inadvertently sent two gods to war with each other." Axel said, looking at his hand, as if a war between gods was nothing, nothing at all. When in fact, if you were to take a look at ancient lore, it meant something very, VERY, bad for humans. Luxord swallowed, thinking of the damage that would be done to earth.
"I didn't think Gods existed…"
"Yeah, well in this day and age, who does anymore?!" Axel threw his hands in the air, turning to step into a boat, steered by a cloaked being. He didn't know if it was a skeleton, like in the movies, but he was sure he'd find out, looking at hands. That didn't exist. The wood of the oar was knotted, and it roped into the black sleeves, shadows covering the being. Luxord remained on the shore for a moment, or so, before looking over, and seeing ghostly beings standing there, looking haunted, terrible. He shivered, stepping onto the boat, rubbing his arms, a chill settling over him, as he realized the river was MADE of souls. It was creepy in a not-so-good way.
"Yeah, but I didn't think they existed back then either… those myths…"
"Actually happened. Yes there is a golden tree, and yeah, there was Zeus who, yes, he IS the real father of Alexander the Great. And no, Alexander is not a god; he is residing here in my realm with his forbidden lover." Axel was looking ahead, his eyes on the shore before them. Where a large, dark castle was, the spires were made of black material. Luxord had no idea what it was made of, but when they got closer, he realized it was bones. Charred black. He flinched from the castle, and turned his head, before jumping back from the edge of the boat, yelling in surprise. His arms flailed, and he went over the side, and into the river of woe and sorrow, also known as Acheron and Styx. He tossed his head, wanting to breathe, but he didn't know if he could or not. His arms swimming madly.
He turned, seeing a face close to him. One of the recent kills he'd made. And another. And another. They were coming to him, as if drawn to him in some way or another, gripping him, clinging to him. He felt something being sucked from his lungs and then a man before him framed his face. The man Luxord had shot on his retirement day, his eyes sunken and hallow, face wizened. Luxord's heart hammered madly, and he tried to yell, but was grabbed from the arm, and hauled from the river, and back into the boat, laying on the bottom of the boat, trembling in fear.
So many people he'd sent to this place. "Why aren't they in… heaven?"
"Because I haven't had time to judge them. They needed to pay a toll, and many of them lost that coin in the wait. More and more people die everyday, those murdered usually have so much shock going through their bodies… they never make it." Axel explained, kneeling by the assassin on the floorboard of the boat, who was coughing, gasping, and wheezing up nothing. He was dry, completely, but he felt frozen, as if he'd been soaked to the bone. "And it's called Elysian Fields Luxord. Tartarus is, I suppose the equivalent to hell."
"And…." He coughed some more, getting up, and when he looked at himself he realized he'd aged five years. Five years for only a few moments in the spirit river, even his body felt slightly heavy. No longer twenty six, he was thirty one. And it happened in moments. "And… you run this place…"
"I do."
"Why… did I…?"
"The spirits suck the life from you. If you remained in there for much longer, they would have taken the soul from your body, and you'd be floating in the river along with the rest of them." Axel informed; his face impassive, even though he was panicking. Seeing the mortal tumble over the side and disappear into Acheron had chilled his nearly non-existing heart. Acheron had accepted the mortal with open arms, and that shot jealousy through him. This was HIS mortal, and HIS property. No one else would be allowed to touch this mortal as long as he was around.
"So… why am I here?"
"You're accepting this fairly well."
"Do I have any choice?" Luxord snorted, looking up to the ground before him, eyes dark and slightly annoyed. "I need to adapt if I'm going to survive, but somehow, I don't think I'm going to."
That premonition was the exact same one that Axel was having.
As the boat touched the shore, man and god stepped out, and onto land, looking up at the large castle. "Come, I'll find you some food. Though you may not eat much, as it will affect your physical form." Axel said. He didn't want to admit that it would only make Luxord even more irresistible, and he was already having a hard enough time trying to keep his hands off of him. Just a few glances here and there at the blonde were enough to satisfy his want. For now.
"Just what I need after seeing the man I killed walking and talking, and the souls of those I killed." Luxord snorted. "Yeah, food sound's fuckin' amazing."
"Glad you think so." Axel smiled, before dragging him into his castle, glad Persephone was gone. He wouldn't have to be bothered with her shrill voice.

"WHAT!" Zeus pounded his fist on the table before him, his long silver hair, and tanned skin were flashing, amber eyes sharp, and furious. His body was rigid with displeasure, and he seemed about ready to burst a few veins. More than a few, if you were to be honest. "What has my 'beloved' brother done NOW!?"
"He's taken the human he's supposed to kill, and is protecting him now." Aphrodite said, his hand trailing around Zeus' broad shoulders, his mouth close to the head god's ear, kissing the sensitive shell softly, teasingly. "I saw it myself, it was in my very club." Zeus rolled his head to look at Aphrodite and was earned a kiss, their lips locking for a moment, before he pulled back. "Don't worry… I made sure Hera went for a visit with Hermes. They should be awhile."
"Do you always think of everything Aph?" Zeus said calmly, pulling the pink haired god into his lap, his hands cupping the smaller man's ass. Aphrodite straddled his lap, and nuzzled the god's neck, smiling at the compliment.
"Just about. I do have a request though…"
"Name it…" Zeus leaned his head back, giving into the pleasure of Aphrodite's mouth on his neck, the tiny fangs grazing, and the gentle kisses here and there.
"I want Hades' little human." He pulled back, a slow, devilish smirk on his lips, blue eyes glinting like a mad mans. "Just think about it honey, I get the human to practice new skills on, Hades gets left alone, and you get us both all to yourself. You know how much you do like putting our little Pluto in the dirt." He wrapped a strand of Zeus hair around his fingers, and kissed the locks, as Zeus was stripping them with his mind, clothes melting away.
"Mmm." He grunted in reply, bending forward to lap at a taut nipple, his teeth scraping Aphrodite's pale chest. "Fine, you may have the human. How are we going to do this?" His face was framed by Aphrodite's hands and pulled up so the pink haired god could look at him with mad eyes.
"Trap him of course! Put Hades under a coma. The only way for us to fairly make Hades' pet immortal is to give him a test, so of course his human will have to find a way to revive him." He smirked deviously.
"And when he can't find anyway possible, he'll immediately come to you for help…"
"Where I'll seduce him into loving me instead, and when Hades' wakes… his human won't even think about him anymore." Aphrodite picked up Zeus' long silver hair and nibbled on his ear, whispering hotly, "And when he comes to you for support… claim him. You've always wanted to… haven't you Zeus? Your baby brother there in your arms, saying your name when he comes… doesn't that bring you to your knees?" Aphrodite was weaving a fantasy in the silver haired god's head, and he felt the bigger man's body react with heady expectation.
"Alright Aphrodite… you may have your human." Zeus finally said, and he spread the pink haired god on the table, spreading pale legs wide, fangs bared. Aphrodite looked back up at him, and smirked, eyes darkening with bliss, and triumph.

"Achoo!" Luxord sneezed, rubbing his nose. Hades looked over at him blinking.
"You alright?"
"I think I'm allergic to spirits." Luxord sighed, as every time a spirit came near him, he began to sneeze violently. His nose slightly red, and he rubbed his eyes to keep from letting them water up too much.
"Don't be silly… no ones allergic—"
"ACHOO!" Luxord sneezed even harder when a spirit of a roman general slipped right through him. The force of the sneeze enough to knock him back out of his chair and on the floor, rubbing his face, and poking his head up to look over the table.
"Okaaay… I'll consider the possibility." Hades sighed, rubbing his forehead, shooing the spirits house. His eyes going back to the assassin trying to get back up in his chair, looking worse for the wear. "Might be the plasma, or the particles they tend to gather over time. Either way, I'll keep them from you until we can leave."
"Spank you."
