Here is chapter 2, please enjoy and R&R.
A few weeks later, The Underworld:
Zeus hated the Underworld, his brother's kingdom was a dark and gloomy place and he didn't understand why his older brother insisted he will take this place, he knew Hades was somewhat of a loner, but this was going too far.
"Brother? I'm surprise you are here." said Hades when he saw his brother in the entrance of his palace. "Brother, I've come here to discuss your marriage" said Zeus with a big smile making Hades roll his eyes.
"I'm not in the mood for this brother, I have work to do, the dead will not judge themselves."
Before Hades could leave his brother, Zeus grab him by his arm to stop him from leaving the room. "We have to talk about this brother, it has been millennia since the last time we spoke about this matter, you have been alone since the beginning." Said Zeus.
Hades looked at his brother with anger, how dare him grab his arm like that and demand to talk about a matter that is of no importance. "If you care for your arm you will release me immediately." Hades voice was cold, his ayes reflected the anger he was trying to contain, and the room was getting darker and darker.
Zeus knew his brother didn't liked to be touch by anyone unless he allowed it, not even his siblings, the god of the underworld was extremely powerful, as the first born, his abilities go beyond Zeus and Poseidon´s powers, and because of that, both gods usually avoided any conflict with their older brother.
"I am king of the gods Hades, you threat means nothing to me." Zeus knew that even dough Hades was strong, he would never hurt any of his siblings, the god of the underworld loved them in his own strange way. "You are no King to me. My kingdom does not answer to yours like Poseidon´s kingdom does." Hades word made Zeus shiver with fear. It was true that the underworld was and will always be a separate kingdom, and it was because Hades didn't have a place as a god of Olympus, and that was Zeus fault.
The god of the Skies released Hades and took a step away from his brother whose anger was starting to affect the room around them as shadows were surrounding every object in the dark room. "I'm sorry brother, it was uncalled for me to disrespect you in your realm. I'm just worried about you, that's all." Hades anger diminish after hearing his baby brother's apology, he knew that his family was worried about him, but there was no reason to be, he was fine in his kingdom with his people and his servants.
"Lord Hades, the judges are waiting for…" Hecate entered the room looking for her king but stopped when she notices that Zeus was in the room as well. "Lord Zeus, I was not aware you where here." Said the goddess of magic surprised that the King of Olympus was here.
"I came to talk with my brother Hecate, I shall leave now. I don't want to keep you out of work brother." Zeus was about to leave the room when Hades stopped him. "Tomorrow I will visit you in your office so that we could talk." Zeus smiled after hearing that his brother was willing to talk about the possibility of taking a wife, he knew that his brother was going to refuse any candidate both Poseidon and he had ready for the dark god, but at least him trying to hear them out was a start.
"We will be waiting for you brother." Said Zeus before leaving.
Hades let out a sigh when his brother left the room with a boom of thunder, Hecate was looking at him like he had a second head and it was making him uncomfortable. "What is it Hecate?" ask Hades with annoyance. "Nothing my King, I'm just surprised that your brother came here and that you are going to visit him tomorrow. In Olympus." Hecate was indeed surprised with this turn of events.
"Tell me about it." Hades started walking in direction to the judges with Hecate behind him.
Olympus gardens.
Persephone was truly a beauty, she was 18 now and a full goddess, a minor one, but a goddess no less and Ares was very aware of that fact. Currently the spring goddess was picking some flowers for the King of the Underworld, she knew thanks to Artemis that he was going to visit Olympus to talk to her father and she was excited to see him again. Thinking of him and his handsome face made her blush and feel all giddy inside, if only her mother allowed her to marry, she will marry him.
Persephone shook her head after that thought, she knew that a King like him will never look at a minor goddess like her, and even if he did it will only be for a night of fun and not for what she wanted.
"You're out of your mind Seph, he will never look at you like that"
"Why wouldn´t I?"
Persephone jumped out of her spot after hearing the disturbing voice of her half-brother Ares, she didn´t like him that much, he was a brute and a shallow god whose pride was hurt after Aphrodite left him for her husband Hephaestus.
"Ares, what are you doing here?" asked Persephone watching him with precaution.
"I came to see my lovely sister. Can a brother talk to his sister?" asked Ares faking that he was offended by her question.
"Half-sister, Ares. I only ask because you never visited me before, so what change?"
Ares was enjoying this, he knew that Persephone was no pushover and that she had a fire in herself like Athena and Artemis. The god of war took her hand and brought it to his lips to place a hard kiss. Persephone wanted to run, she didn´t like were this was going as she knew Ares tended to get what he wanted by force, and she knew he wanted her, she could see it in his lustful eyes.
"I´m sorry Seph, I was busy before, you know, wars and stuff. But now I'm free of them for a while, and I wanted to connect with my beautiful half-sister." With every word he said, a kiss accompanied it, Persephone was very uncomfortable with the attention Ares was giving her, she was very aware of his arousal and could see his intention in his eyes. "Ares, this is not appropriate, you are my brother, we are family." Said Persephone trying to get Ares to leave her alone.
"Dear sister, you know very well that does not apply to us gods, unlike mortal's DNA means nothing to us." Said Ares while grabbing Persephone by her waist and yanking her towards him. Persephone knew he was right considering she was in love with man who technically is her uncle.
"Let go of me." Demanded the young goddess.
"Stay still and let me make you a woman." Said Ares before forcing a kiss to her virgin lips.
Persephone was disgusted with the contact, she didn't want her first kiss to be with Ares, she wanted it to be with Hades. She could feel the cold armor of the god of war, his breath stank of beer and burgers and his skin was covered in, what look like, dried blood and ash from war, his hands were roaming violently through her body hurting her, she could feel the tears ready to fall.
Ares was so turned on, he had her in his arms feeling her untouched body, his hand was on her breast, they were soft, and firm and her ass felt amazing to the touch, her lips taste like strawberries and her hair smell liked flowers. He was so aroused that he did not noticed when she used her powers to summon a vine from a nearby tree and before he could touch her most intimate place the vine grabbed him by his neck and throwed him to another tree. Without wasting anymore time, Persephone started running to the entrance of the garden so that she could escape from Ares, but before she could make it, she felt the god's hand grabbing her from the neck and throwing her against the same tree he landed before.
The young goddess was stunned due to the impact of her head with the tree and because of that, she couldn´t see when Ares removed his armor and ripped her dress and underwear, leaving her naked. The god started to suck on her breasts, biting her right nipple making her cry in pain, she tried to slap him off, but he was to strong. Ares tired of Persephone fighting him decided to punch her in the face making her stop, grabbing her arms by her wrist with one hand he prepared to go inside her.
"Soon you will be crying in pleasure." Said Ares while rubbing the tip of his manhood on her entrance.
Persephone closed her eyes crying and praying to be saved, she was scared and powerless to defend herself against him and now he was going to rape her. – Hades please, save me. – with that last thought she succumbed to unconsciousness giving up on hope to being saved.
Hades was annoyed beyond his own limit, he knew that his brothers were going to set him up with a bunch of women, nymphs, minor goddesses and even mortals were in the room with them and Hades wanted to storm out of it but decided to humor his brothers… Big mistake.
"Hades! Brother, wait!" Hades stopped after his brother Poseidon calls. "C´mon brother, have fun with these women, they are the most beautiful women in the world." Hades wanted to punch his brother, didn't he know him at all? He knows Hades is not that kind of god, he was not the one who could have a one-night stand like him and Zeus, and he would never be. "I'm leaving, tell Zeus that I'll see him in the next meeting." Said Hades before turning around and resuming his way out of the place.
"C'mon Hades, don't be lik…" Both gods stopped after hearing a small cry on the gardens nearby, Poseidon and Hades were shocked when they saw Ares naked and on top of some woman in the gardens, they both knew of Ares tendency of raping women who turns him down and they were going to ignore the act until Hades saw who the girl was.
Anger, hate and disgust, those were the emotions that course through Hades mind when he saw how Ares was forcing himself upon the innocent Persephone. "Soon you will be crying in pleasure." After the god of war said those words, Hades snapped, summoning his shadow powers, enclosed Ares using his shadow tendrils.
Poseidon was in sweating bullets when he saw the dark energy that was covering his elder brother, he knew his brother was angry as he saw the death glare that he gave to Ares.
The god of war was in shock when he saw yanked upwards by his uncle Hades, he didn't understand why he was being like this, it was not like any of his relatives would care what he does unless it affects them directly.
"What the fuck?" Asked Ares when he was brought face to face with his uncle's death glare.
"HOW DARE YOU DEFILE SUCH INNOCENT FLOWER?!" Hades words were like fire, his eyes were murderer like and his shadows were choking Ares with incredible force. "WHAT IS THE MENING OF THIS HADES?!" Asked Zeus when he saw his brother choking his son in the air.
"Zeus." Poseidon called his brother and when he saw that the King of Olympus was looking at him, he pointed the woman who was lying on the ground unconscious. Zeus eyes sparkle with anger when he saw his little girl on the ground naked and with a broken nose and a black eye. "ARES!" thunder broke loose in the room, the skies turned grey and Zeus summoned a lightning bolt in his hand ready to strike his son.
"KORE!" Poseidon saw how his sister Demeter ran to her daughter unconscious body. Every god in Olympus heard the disturbance and went to check what was all the fuss about, all were shocked when they saw little Persephone in the ground naked and bruised. "What is the meaning of this Zeus?!" Asked Demeter while cradling her daughter and letting the tears in her eyes fall.
"I was going to ask that myself sister." Said Zeus while never tearing his gaze from his son. "Explain Ares! WHY IS MY DAUGHTER NAKED AND BRUISED LYING IN THE FLOOR IN HER GARDER!" Zeus anger was scary, but Hades eyes alone were the ones making Ares tremble in fear. Everybody knows you never mess with the god of the Underworld and the King of the dead, and it seems Ares pissed him off as well as his own father. He was fucked.
"Answer you little shit, talk so I can end your miserable existence." Everybody shivered with Hades words. Hades applied more force on his grip, Ares let a gasping sound leave his body before starting to feel dizzy. "Hades! Let go of him so he can explain." Said Hera worried for her son even dough she was really mad at him.
Hades let him go at his sister request, even dough he wanted to kill Ares, he didn't want to upset his sister like Demeter was due to the condition of her daughter. The dark god went to Persephone who was being attended by Apollo and her mother, he saw that she was still naked, so he took his cape off and handle it to his sister. "Take this, she needs to be covered." Said Hades to Demeter. "Get your filthy cape off my daughter, it smells like death." Said Demeter with disgust.
It was well known that Demeter and Hades never got along after he gave Zeus the idea for the punishment of Prometheus, the Titan his sister loved. "Demeter, it was Hades who stopped Ares from raping your daughter, if it wasn´t for him, your daughter wouldn't be a maiden right now." Said Poseidon to his sister.
Demeter wanted to argue but Hades placed his cape on top of her Kore, covering her nakedness and then turning his attention to the naked god of war that was on his knees in front of his father. "You should be exiled from Olympus for your crime against a virgin goddess but considering that Persephone hasn't take the maiden oath, yet I cannot sentence you to exile." Said Zeus, angering Hades. "He should pay for what he was going to do, he tried to rape a defenseless girl, YOUR DAUGHTER!" said Hades.
"DON´T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT! I'M THE KING OF THE GODS! DON´T DEFY ME BROTHER!" yelled Zeus in anger. "YOU ARE NOT MY KING ZEUS, I DON'T BOW TO ANY GOD!" responded Hades with the same anger. Zeus saw his brother anger as well, he knew that his brother would go to war with him and he would win, Hades was the most powerful god, more powerful than all the gods combine, only their father was stronger than them, but Zeus wasn't sure, as Hades guarded Tartarus where their father and the rest of the Titans reside.
"You will be punished to 100 years in the mines of the Underworld where you will work until your hands bleed, unable to sleep, eat or calm your lustful needs, where the prayers of solders and the suffering of war would never reach to you, as well you will be under Hades mercy in that time." everybody was surprised when Hera was the one who gave the sentence, not even Ares thought his mother would be the one who will cast the punishment upon him.
"Hera, he is a god of Olympus, we can't give him a punishment of that magnitude." Said a shocked Zeus after hearing his wife giving the sentence, he could not remove it as she was queen, and only the royal member who cast the sentence could remove it. "He committed a crime against one of our own, Ares will pay because of it." Said Hera.
"But… he is the god of war! Without him, the world's balance will be affected." Said Poseidon trying to defuse the situation with his family. "There is another god of war, Athena will take Ares responsibilities in his absence." Said Hera looking at her husband's daughter. Athena only nodded surprised Hera was trusting her with this. "I will my queen." Said Athena.
"I will make sure to make you pay." Said Hades in a cold voice making Ares regret everything he did in his life. "You can´t kill him Hades, he is still a God of Olympus and we need him alive." Said Hera to her brother, Hades gave her sister a small smile that worried everybody in the room, Hades never smiled. "Do not fret sister, there are things worse than death." With that said, Hades extended his arm and with a flick of his wrist made Ares disappear engulfed in shadows with a last scream from the freighted god.
"… what happened?" everybody froze when Persephone started talking and moving in her mother's arms, everybody was waiting for her to wake up and see if she was all right.
When Persephone woke up, she saw her mother's face, her eyes were bloodshot red, and she saw a trail of tears on her face. The young goddess saw everybody there, watching her with worry and sadness, she saw Hades looking at her, there was pain in his eyes, like if he had any fault and she didn´t understand why. Why was every god looking at her like that… - ARES! – she remembered what her brother wanted to do to her, she remembered her naked state and the fact that Ares raped her.
"Is ok my child, he was not able to defile you." Said Demeter sensing her daughter's distress. Persephone sat up and notice a soft black cloth wrapped around her, she smelled the familiar fragrance of the earth and grass, the fragrance of her lord Hades. "Hades save you before Ares finish the deed, he is now being punish in the Underworld, so he will not hurt you again." Said Apollo while standing up. "I've taken care of your broken nose and the bruises in your body, so do not worry about that." Persephone silently thanked her half-brother, her eyes never leaving the King of the dead.
"Come my child, let's go back home." Said Demeter helping her daughter to stand up, the last thing she saw was Hades looking at her while she vanishes in a gust of wind and flowers.
Hades wanted to go to Persephone's side and hug her, he wanted to protect her, he wanted to… Kiss her? What was going on with him? He liked Persephone, he was fond of his niece, but he never thought he wanted to kiss her. – What the fuck is going on with me? – he was pull out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder, he saw that it was Aphrodite's hand. "You ok Aidoneus?" Asked the goddess of love and sex. "Don't call me that, and I'm fine." Answered Hades annoyed at the mentions of his birth name. "C'mon Hades, I was there when you were born, I heard your mother give you that name." Said Aphrodite with a loving smile that almost made Hades vomit before leaving Olympus to torture Ares.
"Mother, maybe you shouldn't tease lord Hades like that, you saw what he did to father." Said Eros who was behind his mother, nervous of the wrath of the god of the dead. "Your father earned that fate because he is a pig and a sore loser, and I hope he rot in hell for what he tried to do to poor little Persephone." Said the goddess with disgust towards her ex-lover. "But I must say, your arrow worked pretty well my son, Hades feelings for Persephone are coming out and soon he will not be able to hide them any longer." The goddess smiled at her work, soon their love will be too big to not act upon it, soon her little Hades will have someone just for him.
R&R.
