Chapter 1: Hades Goes Up

Disclaimer:

I want Hades too bad the world owns him. I am an alien, you know…

Author's note:

I dedicate this to 3 Hertz. Godspeed on our tests. Oh, yeah "I love you Prima!" DeMoMeGeTra Rulez!

The past events were the product of accumulated happenings which transpired in even later dates. It all started on afternoon….

(Knock on the door)

"Yes, come in."

A pleasant voice said. As Hades went in, he noticed a girl about 18 summers old in appearance, dancing around the room wearing a green silk chiton. He watched, fascinated, as she hugged the trees. Yes, there were trees in her room. It's a virtual forest.

"Are you the goddess of spring?"

'Smooth man. She hugs the trees and dances with the grass. Oceanids don't do that. Fool!'

His cool and pleasing voice called out. Sephie was startled to find a very handsome god. The cold glare, icy voice, the dark visage, lack of color in clothing, and all those leather that perfectly fits those yummy - ….. He definitely has her attention now.

"Yes, I am. My name is Persephone. My mother calls me Kore but you can call me Sephie. And you are?"

She flashed him her one million megawatt smile. It has this atomic bomb like effect that momentarily blinds anyone who sees it. Hades just stood there and stared. Sephie was confused. Never, in her entire existence has she met anyone who dismisses her smile like that.

'What a pity, he's quite handsome but too uptight.

"I am Hades, Lord of the Underworld."

'That explains a lot.'

"I am in dire need of your help. My kingdom is dying. No, I'm not joking. I don't do that. It's just that the dead are not satisfied. Asphodel is very gloomy and the souls in the Elysian Fields are quite sad."

That's what he should've said but instead he said:

"I need your powers."

Pretty much direct to the point. Of course, Sephie is so engrossed with observing Hades (it is the first time she ever saw a man, or god for that matter, in her room and she likes what she sees. Raging hormones and all that.) She's willing to do anything for him.

'I want him!"

Sephie stealthily moved towards Hades swaying her hips and pouting her very full lips. Her auburn hair swishing against her back and her hand reaching slowly, slowly for Hades'

Hand.

"I am very willing to help you. Just tell me how and I will do whatever I can."

She said this as her hand travels up to Hades' arm then to his chest; her other hand clasping thee other one leaving Hades stuck in the middle and her head on his shoulder.

'What is this girl thinking? Is she hitting on me! SHIT! Doesn't she realize that I am her uncle! Hmm… Hey! Are those peaches? Her hair smells like peaches, really nice. DANG! What am I doing? I must think fast. I need to get out, really fast!'

"I think I'll just talk to my sister, your mother by the way. She'll be able to sort things out."

"No, no, stay. I can help you. I really can."

Sephie held on really tight as the tone of desperation creeps into her voice. Hades can't do anything, when…

"Kore! Hades! What are you doing!"

'Oh, oh, Demeter's here. I gotta run before this gets worse and she'll think that I-'

"What the hell are you doing to my daughter! By Zeus! You're dead meat. Bro."

"No, Demeter, you don't understand! I-"

"He loves me mother. He told me so. He just asked me to be his wife and I consented."

This statement silenced both the elder gods. Demeter was outraged and Hades was stupefied. He was damned.

'Holy crap! This is why I NEVER go up!'
