Chapter 4.

The mornings in the Underworld weren't as bright as in the surface, but it was enough to let Persephone know that it was day time. As she woke up, she noticed that Hades wasn't there with her, in fact, he was nowhere in the room to be found.

"My Lord?" she asked the empty room only to receive no response at all. As she grabbed the sheet of the bed to cover her nakedness, she stood up from the comfortable bed to look for her husband in the bathroom that was in the room.

"Where are you?" she asked herself as she discovered that the room was empty as well.

"If you're looking for Lord Hades, he is currently on the training fields performing his daily exercises." Persephone jumped at the new voice that spoke to her; the new Queen turned to look at the new presence in the room and discovered that it was Hecate who spoke.

"Lady Hecate! I…" she tried to speak but was not able as she remembered her current state of clothing, or lack of any.

"Do not fret your majesty. I am here to make sure you're taken care of, so feel free to ask for anything you need as I was appointed as your handmaiden." Said the goddess of witchcraft bowing her head to the new Queen.

"I thought you were Lord Hades assistant." She said a bit surprised.

"I was. But your husband thought that I was better suited to be your escort and possibly, new friend." Said the goddess.

"Did he order you to be my friend?" Asked Persephone.

"No m'lady. I do not take orders from any God. Regardless of my respect for Hades and the fact that I reside in his realm, my job is to assist him and provide counsel. I am my own goddess and I make my own decisions." Persephone didn't expect such honest answer but was pleased to know that Hecate was offering her friendship by her own free will and not by her husband orders. "Plus, I feel like I'm the only sane woman in this place."

Both women laughed before the older goddess walked closer to the new queen. Persephone blushed while pressing the sheet to her bare flesh, Hecate took notice on the girl's actions and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'm going to prepare you a nice and warm bath. It will help after… last night activities." Said Hecate looking at Persephone's choice of clothes. "After your bath you can go a see your new husband, as I know you want to see him as soon as possible." She said with an amused smile that made the younger goddess blush even more.


Training fields, Hades palace.

Hades was sweating after his intense training, his arms were a bit sore, nothing that a bit of ambrosia could fix, and his back was a bit tense, other than that, he was perfectly fine.

"Xièxiè." He said while bowing his head in sing of respect towards a Chinese spirit who bowed in the same manner.

"Impressive my Lord." A young boy said with an excited gleam in his blindfolded face. The young boy was no older than a 5-year-old, his black feathered wings were out for everyone to see as it happened every time he got to happy or excited.

"Thank you, Thanatos, you can always practice if you want, I know that your brother already partakes on boxing. So why not try Kung Fu with me? I know master Wu wouldn't mind another student." Said Hades with a small smile as he now did ever since this morning.

"My apologies my King, but I do not like violence in any kind, even if the martial art looks like a dance, it is still a form of violence that I do not wish to be associated with, it's enough for me to be death itself." Said the young boy.

Hades was surprised, even though Thanatos was just a young boy, the god was very mature and because of that, he was given the task to collect the souls of the living and bring them to the Underworld, a grim job for a child, but a job he did with no complain.

"I admire you resolve young one." Hades said before messing with the kid's hair as he usually did with him. Since the day Nyx gave birth to the twins Hypnos and Thanatos, Hades was fond of the later, he reminded him of when he was a child in his father stomach, he was kind and optimistic back then, regardless of the nature of their powers, they were always trying to be more than just darkness and death.

"Thank you, my Lord. I shall leave now, mother needs me, and our queen is coming to see you." Said the young god spreading his wings before taking flight into the dim lighted skies of the Underworld.


Persephone was at the entrance of the training fields ready to greet her husband but froze when she saw the naked torso of her husband, she looked at his hard muscles that were covered in sweat and remembered what happened last night, she felt her desire rise but before she could act upon it, she noticed the scar that covered the center of his chest, she didn't recall seen it when they were making love, she was so lost in the waves of pleasure that she didn't put that much of attention on his chest, and after they finished she fell asleep.

"What happened to your chest?" She asked once he was right beside her. She had her hand on his chest tracing the damaged tissue with her soft fingers.

Hades tensed when he felt the soft touch of his beautiful wife, he stopped drying the sweat off his forehead, he throwed the towel to the nearby bench before taking his wife's hand in his. "It's just a memento my father gave me before banishing him to Tartarus." He said without emotion towards the memory of his battle with Kronos.

"I see." Answered Persephone before kissing his scar, this made his heart jump at the contact as he felt a strong desire to take her right then and there, but he stopped himself before he did. "Are you hungry? Have you eaten any breakfast?" he asked instead.

"No." said Persephone still looking at his scar. "I was looking for you so that we could eat together, that is if you haven't eaten yet." She said with a tender smile.

Hades kissed her softly while caressing her cheek. "No, I haven't." he said after the kiss.

They both walked hand in hand towards the dining room, Hecate and a few nymphs were there waiting for them to arrive. "Your breakfast is ready." Said Hecate while pointing at the table full of delicious looking food.

"Is any of this food from the Underworld?" asked Hades with a serious tone that confused Persephone.

"No, my Lord, as you ordered, all the food came from the surface world." Responded one of the nymphs.

"Good. We shall eat then." Said Hades dismissing the servants leaving him, Persephone and Hecate alone. "Will you be joining us Hecate." Asked the god of the dead looking at his advisor and friend.

"No, my king. I shall leave as well, but before that I wanted to inform you that the judges will take care of today's trials, so you can enjoy your honeymoon; as well, I prepared the cabin in Elysium for you and our queen." Said Hecate bowing her head at them.

"Thank you, Hecate, I appreciate it." Said Hades.

Hecate nodded and left the room leaving them alone, so they could eat in peace. "Why are we not going to eat food from the Underworld?" asked Persephone confused at her husband. Hades knew she was going to ask about that was only natural that she was curious.

"Those who eat the food that grows in the Underworld cannot leave, as they are bound to darkness of this world. That is the law that was writing even before I arrived." Said the lord of the Underworld. Persephone was lost in thought thinking about what Hades told her. "Sephie, you ok?" Asked Hades.

"Yeah. I'm fine, it's just that… I don't know much about the Underworld, I'm the new queen and I don't know anything about my realm." She said while taking some waffles from a plate. "I want to be a good queen and for me to be one I need to know my kingdom."

Hades smiled at his wife, he was happy to hear that she wanted to get more involved with his- their kingdom. "I will tell you everything that is to know about our realm, but for now, let us enjoy our honeymoon." He said taking her hand on his and kissing it.

Persephone smiled at his kiss with a blush on her face, with every moment she spent beside him she fell more in love with him. "I love you Hades." She said before getting up from her chair to seat on Hades lap and kiss him with so much passion that made him tremble.

Hades returned her kiss with the same fire that burned her chest, his hand traveled up her thigh making her shiver; she pressed herself against him feeling his strong chest press against her breast making her moan as she felt his growing erection against her sex.

"Lord Had…" Hecate stopped in her tracks, a huge blush on her face as she saw what the king and queen where doing. "Hecate! We were just…!" Hades tried to explain but the goddess of witchcraft stopped him. "I know exactly what you guys were doing, but please, wait until you arrive on the cabin or go to your chambers." Said the goddess with a knowing smile on her face. "I just came to tell you that your sister is here."

Hades froze when he heard her said his 'sister' was here. Did Demeter find out already? "Hestia is waiting in the common room, don't make her wait." At the mention of Hestia's name Hades smiled knowing that he was safe for now, also he was happy to know that his lovely sister came to visit him.

"Come my love, I want you to meet my sister Hestia." Said Hades offering his hand to his blushing wife, he had a big smile that Persephone didn't know as the smile that he usually gave her was a tender one. "She will be happy to finally meet you."

As they arrived at the common room they saw that the goddess of fire and home, she was a beautiful and elegant woman, she was dressed in loose floral dress, her hair was tied in a bun and she was wearing a pair of red glasses. "Hestia my dear sister." Said Hades smiling and hugging his sister surprising his wife greatly.

"Hello Aidoneus, it's been a while since the last time we saw each other." Said the goddess with a warm smile while hugging her little brother with love and care. "You must be Persephone, Demeter's daughter." Said the goddess looking at the young girl who stood silently in the room.

"I am, Lady Hestia, it is an honor to finally meet you." Said Persephone bowing her head at the older goddess. It was the first time meeting her aunt as Demeter never talked to her, it seem that she hated both of her older siblings.

"Please, just call me Hestia and it I who should bow to you, as you're now a queen." Said the goddess of fire lifting the head of the younger woman. "You are very beautiful, even if Zeus and Demeter are your parents, you look nothing like them. You are beautiful in your own right, a true goddess of the Underworld." Hestia's words made her blush, it meant a lot that a main goddess complimented her like that.

"Hestia, how did you know?" asked Hades confused as to how his sister knew about his marriage. "I made sure that no one would find out about it." He said looking at his older sister. "Aidoneus, for centuries we lived together on father's stomach? Of course I would know when my baby brother got married." She said with a smile.

"Aidoneus?" asked Persephone confused as to why Hestia called Hades with that name.

"You married her and didn't told her your real name?" asked a very surprised Hestia looking at Hades with a scolding glare that made him tremble as she was the only goddess that did not hesitate in reprimanding him. "Unbelievable… Aidoneus is Hades birth name that our mother Rhea gave him before father devoured us, he changed it when Zeus freed us." Explained the goddess.

"I was going to tell her… eventually." Mumbled Hades while scratching the back of his head, that sight made Persephone smiled as she never saw Hades act like a little boy that was being scolded by his mother, and in a matter of speaking, she was a mother figure for him. "I'm happy that you love my little Aidoneus, for so long he has been alone and suffered a fate way worse than death, but now that he has you I can feel the happiness in his home now." Said Hestia to Persephone, one hand on her cheek and the other on her shoulder.

"Thanks for coming sis, but we are about to leave to our honeymoon now." Said Hades with a smile on his face while placing his arm on his wife's waist. "Oh! How rude of me. It was a pleasure to finally meet you, and I'm glad to see you again brother." Said Hestia before covering herself with fire and banishing from the room.

"I thought that no one could do that here." Said Persephone to herself. "Only those who I allow can. Your father, Hecate, Nyx and Hestia can. You as well now that you are my queen." He said while taking her hand. "come my love, our cabin awaits us."

Persephone felt a mild chill on her skin, it was the same chill she felt when Hades brought her to the Underworld and it meant that they were going to shadow travel. "I can't wait to get there." She said placing her arms around his neck before kissing him passionately as the shadows took them to Elysium.


Earth, that same moment.

"My daughter!" exclaimed Demeter with panic on her voice as she went to her Kore's room to check on her, only to find that her little girl was missing from her room. "Where is my Kore!" she screamed in despair as she looked everywhere for her; the nymphs were scared as well because when Demeter was upset they were the ones who paid.

"FIND HER! DO NOT COME BACK UNLESS YOU COME WITH HER!" Demeter said as she turned the nymphs into winged women with claws and feathers, she cast them out in the wind with an order that they had to obey, for their own good.
