Hades left Zeus to break up the fight and went to find Selene. He needed to talk to her and straighten out a few things. He found her hidden in a corner, staring out towards the moon. "Selene," he called to her. "We need to have a talk about you and your old lover. The fighting between the two of you has got to stop."

"Why did you help me, Hades?" Selene spoke softly, so the other gods wouldn't overhear their conversation. "Why did you save me from Hera's wrath? It's not like the two of us are close or anything."

Hades moved closer to her but not to close to invade her personal space. "I only did it to save myself from receiving a major headache. It wasn't the right moment or place for Hera to accuse you. I know you are not the one to blame in your affair. Actually, I think it's brave of you to try and break things off with Zeus. But he is stubborn like a mule."

"How did you find out about me and Zeus?"

Hades chuckled and received a glare from Selene. "My dear, it's quite simple really. I am the lord of the underworld. I know everything that happens. That is how I decided on where the souls of the dead go, either to the Elysian Fields or to Tartarus. I even know about your trips to Earth."

Selene quickly looked away from Hades, not wanting him to see the shock within her eyes. "I have no idea what you are talking about. I have been on the Moon trying to recover from my mistake with Zeus. You must have confused me with someone else."

"I just told you that I know everything, Selene. Just because you are a goddess doesn't make you any different from the mortals. But I can tell you one thing, you have nothing compared to what I have on Aphrodite and Hera. Those two women are really something."

"You will make a powerful enemy, Hades. You will know just how to break a person with their secrets but I will not yield to you. I won't become your puppet."

Hades sighed. "I didn't mean for you to think the worst of me. I don't want to control you. I need you help."

"What help do you want from me?" Selene asked.

Hades touched her elbow and guided her away from the others. What he was about to say was for her ears only. He led her back into the gardens and walked even further away from the hall. In fact, he took her to the outskirts of the garden. "What I am about to tell you cannot be repeated. We are the only ones to know of this. Do you understand me?" He stopped just long enough to see Selene nod her head in agreement.

Hades leaned down to whisper into her ears. He still didn't trust the other gods. They were are too nosy for their own good and Hermes was the worst of them all. He was Zeus' lapdog and he definitely didn't need Zeus to hear of this just yet. "You must return to Sparta and once more pretend to be mortal."

"Why?" she asked him. "Why must I return? Surely, you know of the child that grows within me and the pregnancy will show soon."

"I know that but I have no choice," Hades spoke. "I have received a message from one of my spies that the Titans will soon break out of their imprisonment. If this happens, who knows what kind of terror they will create. We need to stop them before it happens."

Selene gasped. All the gods and goddesses were afraid of the Titans. Years ago, Cronus ruled the universe after castrating his own father Uranus. No one knows what happened to Uranus but he simply disappeared. Many believe that he died of his wounds but Selene wasn't so sure. Could he be hiding to have his revenge against his own son? And if he did have his revenge, what would happen to all of the gods and goddesses?

Cronus is the worst of all the Titans. He had a bad temper and a short fuse. An oracle warned him that if he ever had children, he own son would overthrow him as he did his own father. After learning this, Cronus forced Rhea to hand over the children that she birthed. Tired of losing her children to Cronus' stomach, Rhea tricked him into swallowing a rock and hid Zeus from his own father.

Once Zeus was old enough, he over threw his father Cronus and sent the Titans that fought against him into the center of the Earth, to spend the rest of their immortal lives. Zeus released his brothers and sisters and these are the very same gods and goddesses who rule Mount Olympus to date. Zeus was smart enough to divide the universe with his brothers and sisters. He wasn't the fool like his father was.

"I have reason to believe that one of the gods plan to release the Titans for control of the Universe. Or that the same god is working for someone higher in power. We may be dealing with Uranus himself," Hades whispered to Selene, watching her eyes widen.

"If that is the case, then which god will have the most to gain? I guess we will have to keep our eyes and ears open. But we cannot do this alone Hades. We need someone else to know of this," Selene answered back, trying to reason with Hades. She knew his heart was in the right place but they couldn't do this alone.

Hades sighed. "I figured you would say that. I have already informed Thanatos of this. He will disguise himself and stay by your side. He will be the link into reaching me. We cannot see each other often; otherwise we will bring suspicion to ourselves."

"Shouldn't we inform Zeus of this? After all, he rules the universe and all that lies within it. He defeated Cronus before can't he do it again?"

Hades felt Thanatos arrive behind them and hurried to finish their conversation. "I don't want him to know right yet. I want to see of we can handle the situation ourselves but if it gets to out of control, then I will explain everything to Zeus. The party is now ending and you will have to leave early in the morning."

"What will I tell everyone? Surely, they will suspicious of my absence. Even Helios and Nyx will know something is up."

"Tell them that you want to be alone for awhile on the moon and do not wish to be disturbed. Nyx and Helios will understand if they are truly your friends," Hades answered, looking back at Thanatos. "You may join us. What I am about to say concerns you also."

Hades scanned the area around them. He still needed to be careful. "We have four months to figure out who or what is behind the Titans release. I will learn anything that I can up here in Mount Olympus, while you two search Earth for any clues. Watch your backs and whatever you do, don't give yourselves away. Now, I will contact you in two weeks time. Hopefully, one of us has something."

Selene and Thanatos watched Hades disappear into the night. "That is one god that I do not want to be on his bad side," Selene spoke, turning towards Thanatos. She had to admit that he was gorgeous even though he is the angel of death. Someone has to bring the souls to the Underworld. "I suggest you come to my palace so we can rest and set out early tomorrow morning for the mortal world. Can you appear invisible to everyone expect me?"

"Yes," he quietly answered. "I can do many things that most gods don't know about."

"So are you the spy he speaks of," Selene said to him.

Thanatos smirked. "You know I can't tell you that. But I will tell you that you are not wrong either."

"I knew it, Selene laughed. But her laughter didn't last long. "Do you think we can pull this off, Thanatos? Are we strong enough?"

Thanatos sighed. "I do not know, my lady. Hopefully, the fates will be on our side. Those three witches only intervene when something is in it for them. Maybe we should pay them a visit before heading to the mortal world."

Selene smiled up at him. "That is a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. I am glad that Hades teamed you with me."

"And I you, my lady," Thanatos replied. "We must go now to your palace. Someone approaches."

Thanatos took a hold of Selene's elbow and used his magic to make her disappear along with him. "Keep quiet, milady," he whispered closely to her. "I have the ability to make you invisible with me but that is only when I touch you. Your voice will give us away." Selene nodded, understanding his words.

They watched as a few minutes later, two figures emerged a few feet before them. "Is everything going according to plan, Ares? I don't want you messing up like you always do. This is very important. You are very lucky that he decided to let you join our cause."

Ares glared at the woman before him. "I know all that. You don't have to keep reminding me."

"Of course I have to remind you. You are the stupidest god I have ever met. You are so pathetic that you can't even win your battles against Athena."

Ares boiled with rage. "Shut up, you stupid bitch! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be in this stupid mess in the first place!"

"Keep your voice down, Ares," the woman hissed. "You will give us away."

"Good," he replied. "It's a stupid plan anyway. You know we won't win. Zeus will figure it out and put a stop to it."

The woman stomped her foot. "You owe me! You will pay your debt to me!"

"This is not the debt I meant and you know it. Zeus will chain me to a mountain and have buzzards eating my insides. I don't know about you but I don't wish that fate on my worst enemy."

The woman laughed. "Not even you're precious Athena?"

"Leave her out of this!" Ares hissed at her. "If you harm her in anyway, I swear you will pay with your life!"

The woman laughed even harder. "Who are you fooling, God of War. You can't even win your battles, let alone protect a woman. Just do what you are told and everything will be fine. I won't even have to hurt your precious Athena."

The woman disappeared, leaving Ares alone. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Damn woman," he muttered. "I should have never slept with her in the first place. She is nothing but trouble." He stayed in the garden a few minutes more before he too left.

Thanatos still held onto Selene's elbow as they quickly left the gardens to Selene's palace. Thanatos knew that he and Selene needed to discuss the conversation they over heard in the garden. Once they entered her bedchamber, Thanatos released her. "Who is the woman that Ares was talking too?" Thanatos spoke out loud, more for his benefit then Selene's. "What plan are they talking about?"

"Maybe she was referring to the Titans. It is the only thing that makes sense right now. I wonder what Ares received to owe a debt to her. Obviously, he wants no part in the plan and is only doing it, so Athena doesn't get hurt. But the idiot doesn't understand that if he keeps this hidden from her, he's just going to hurt her even more."

Thanatos nodded. "I agree. But we still need to get more evidence. When we meet with Hades later, we must bring this conversation up. We could even look into this matter further."

"How about we talk to Ares? Maybe he will give us the information that we need," Selene spoke, trying to hide a yawn.

Thanatos grinned at her attempt. "I think its time we rest now. We can talk about this more in the morning."

"Where will you sleep, Thanatos? I can't have you sleep in the same bed as me. It wouldn't be fair to Helios."

Thanatos conjured up a bed next to Selene's. She gaped at him and he laughed. "I told you there are some things that the gods do not know about. I have many talents."

Selene couldn't help herself. She just had to ask. "Does that refer to bed talents as well?"

Thanatos raised an eyebrow at her. "Is that an offer?"

"Umm…no," Selene stuttered. "I was just joking with you."

Thanatos laughed. "I know. The look on your face was priceless."

"Jerk," she whispered.

Thanatos bowed and helped her climb into her bed before laying in his own. "I predict that we will be the best of friends before this assignment is over. Good night and pleasant dreams, milady."

"Oh, I will. I will be dreaming of a Titan squishing you beneath their feet. Then, I will dance over your immortal squished body." Selene drifted off to sleep, hearing Thanatos' laughter beside her.
