Zeus's Perspective:


Hades and Persephone? What about them? How did they get together? Hoooo boy, sit back, papa's going into story mode:

So one day I was chillin' on my throne being awesome and stuff when all of a sudden my brother comes out of the shadows like "ZEUUUUUSSSSS! I need a favor, bro!"

And I was like "yeah, bro, what D'you need?"

And he said, "I want to marry your daughter, Persephone. Can I have her?"

And I was like, "Pssh, if you don't take her, I will!"

Uh...let the record show I never did "take" her. Believe me, I have tried, and it only ends up with me getting kicked in the bolts by either Persephone, Hades, Demeter, or Hera. One time, all four at once. Back to back. I think Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, all the A's got a kick in as well. It actually took me back to when I gave birth to Dionysus through my dick. Not worth it, let me tell ya. Little piece of shit. Where was I? Oh yeah…

So Hades was like "Sweet! See ya!"

And he vanished. Next day, Persephone vanished as well. It was like she disappeared off the face of Gaia. Because she did. Disappear. Off the face of Gaia. And into the Underworld.

So Demeter comes in all angry face and shrewd, totally not like the smoking farmer girl I hooked up with all those years ago, and she was like "DUDE, WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER!"

And I was like "BRUH, I DON'T KNOW, GO PLANT SOME SEEDS OR SOMETHING! Unless you want me to plant some seeds in you?"

Yeah, smooth, right? I don't know why she got angrier. Oh yeah, she got angrier and is all, "I AM NOT GOING TO PLANT ANYTHING UNTIL MY DAUGHTER IS WITH ME AGAIN!" And then does a sweet cape swoosh and leaves. I should really get a cape. HEY! HERMES! GET ME A CAPE! Sweet, thanks, man, see you at dinner? Cool. Where was I?

Right, so Earth was dying, everything was miserable, Hera is blaming all of this on me, made me sleep on the couch, but instead I slept in a mortal woman's bed, you know, Tuesday. Hera finally nagged me enough to write...ugh, a letter, ew, to Hades. He then said he couldn't, Persephone already ate some pomegranate seeds during the wedding and I was like, "Is that what they're calling it these days?" and he was like "no, dumbass, they were actual pomegranate seeds from the Underworld! If you eat them, you have to stay in the Underworld," and I was like "what kind of cult are you running?"

He then said that it was a rule I made up, so...I blame Hades. I relayed this news to Demeter and she was like "WHAT?!" and I was like "Oh, shit, I accidentally snitched on Hades!"

Next thing I know there's this whole trial, I don't know, I was bored, but they both made some decent points. Hades and Persephone had love and binding rules and all that gushy shit and Demeter had the world turned to shit, so I was in a bit of a pickle.

Then Hades was like "FUCK THIS!" and did this voodoo thing and all of a sudden, Demeter didn't have her power of decay. I completely forgot that Hades could do that and that it was the reason I rigged the system to where I wouldn't have to cross paths with him. He gave that power to a servant of his, Thanos or something like that, I don't know, and now it's basically a free for all for Persephone on what she wants to do with her time, and she was like "If this is what Olympians do all day, everyday, I don't want any part of that mess," which, fair, and then she was like, "Hades, I love you, but you are pretty intense. Maybe I could take you someplace, blow off some steam, maybe Ecuador?" And Hades was like, "sure," and then they kissed and then everyone clapped.

The End. That was how Hades and Persephone got together from my point of view. Why'd you ask? Oh, you're gonna ask every Olympian god on their perspective? Aw, that's nice and right of you to pick me first. What's your name again? Andrew? Come along, I'll take you to see Hera. You smell nice, by the way, has anyone told you that?

A/N: And here is the start of Perspective is Key, starting with the main honcho. And yes, they are talking to the same Andrew from Waiting for Spring. You don't have to read it for this, but it does kind of show how Andrew would be able to get a hold of these Olympians.
