Chapter 10 The Agreement
Alexander and Hades sat opposite each other, Achilles and Patroclus were stood behind them.
Hades had just finished signing an agreement which stated that if Alexander lost then Hades would get to keep his claim on Hephaistion and if he won then Hades would retracted his claim.
He slide it over to Alexander who picked up the quill and signed it before handing it over to Achilles who read it once then rolled it up and handed it over to Patroclus who took it somewhere secret.
Hades lent back in his chair.
"Lets see what we are fighting for." he said grinning madly
He waved his hand in front of a blank wall and an image appeared it showed Hephaistion struggling in the grip of the elder of the furies. His clothes were torn and his skin was covered in goo.
She tried to kiss him but he turned his head away and she tossed him over to one of her sisters.
This sister grabbed him by the wrist and unfolded her wings and kicked off the ground. She flew up to the ceiling and then let him go. He was falling but the third sister flew in and caught him before landing with him underneath. She used her long nails to cut away the rest of his clothes. She lay down so that her body was the whole length of his covering him in more goo.
Hephaistion wiggled out from under and caught a lucky below to the fury's face she cried out in surprise and rolled off him.
He jumped up and ran for the exit but he found the exit to be blocked by nightmarish faces, as he got closer the faces collected into the shape of a hand and battered him back into the waiting arms of the furies.
Hades waved away the image and began to laugh as if the scene he had just watched highly amused him. He looked over at Alexander, whose face showed no emotion he knew that Hades was trying to throw him off balance make him slip up but inside it was killing him.
Hade stood up and lent forward over the table.
"I know that they are helping you," he said smiling "But don't think that you can win."
Alexander stared in to those dark eyes
"We will have to wait and see." he replied simply
Hades laughs "I admire your courage but three heads are better than one."
He reached over and patted Alexander on the head before going to check on his pride and joy.
