(Iphigenia's point of view)
I woke up to scary noises again, they sound like groaning noises from the darker side of the underworld. I'm not usually scared of the underworld but this sound was scary…REALLY scary. I got out of bed and trotted over to my mommy and daddy's room. I didn't even knock all that hard when I heard come in from daddy. I enter and poke my head in their room. Daddy got up and picked me up, mommy was still asleep. "What's wrong my gem?" he asked me in a whispering tone.
I cling to him tightly. I tried to talk but he then said, "Mommy's tired, whisper."
I nodded and snuggled more in his arms. "I heard scary noises...they sound very scary." I said, shaking in fear.
Daddy calmed me down, petting me like he does our pet, Cerberus. "It was probably the souls, think nothing of It." he said.
I shake my head, and cling to his shirt tightly. "No…much louder...they come from the other side of the underworld." I said, whispering. I look up and the look on my daddy's face was different, he looked concerned yet angry. What was in that area? "Dad, what's the darker place of the underworld?" I ask, he shook his head softly and lay me down next to mommy. "Think nothing of it, just sleep for now." he said, tucking me in. I snuggled up to mommy and slept.

I stayed awake and thought of what my child said. What groan could be louder than the shades that litter my domain? That's when I remembered. "The titans..." I got up and put my armor and red cloak on. I walked out of my chambers and got on my chariot and rode on to tartaros to see why the titans are making such noise and scaring my child.
When I arrived, I got off and met the jailers, the fifty headed hekatonchieres. "Why are the titans so loud?" I asked them. In unison, the one hundred hand giants said, "They attempted to escape, but we stopped them."
My heart dropped at the thought of the titans attacking my wife and child. I will not let that happen, not as long as I control this realm. "Keep them locked up, don't let ONE titan escape, no matter what." I ordered. They nodded and headed back to work.
I headed back to my chariot and went back to my sleeping chambers to see my wife calming my child. "What is wrong?" I asked, sitting down and petting the weeping child's hair. "The sounds kept her up all night, she's scared." she said. I look at Iphigenia with sympathy; I hated seeing her in such fear of the underworld.
I look at her and said, "The noises will stop. Just don't follow the noises." I said, getting up and heading to my throne to judge them, but then she asked, "Why not?" I look at her and said, "It's no place for a child, never go there." I warned.

I see daddy leave and I got off mommy's lap. "What's so scary about that place?" I asked her. She had the same face that daddy had, but hers was worried. "Just not a place for children." she said.
I asked nothing else but left to go play in the Elysian Fields. I picked flowers and at the corner of my eye, I keep seeing the shadowiness place the whole underworld. I know I probably shouldn't go there but one of my flowers flew out of my hands by the wind towards the area. Well...I do need that flower to complete my flower arrangement. I headed to the flower, going deeper and deeper into the darkest place and I saw it. I picked it up, and heard odd breathing. I looked up to see one hundred eyes staring at me. I looked up frozen in place. A hand come towards me, the fingers themselves hands over the huge palm, I scream and run into the closest thing I can run into, the giants cant enter threw. I sigh in relief. I turned around and bump into a HHUUUGGEEE foot, I've never seen such a big foot.
"YOU! Child of our jailer!" I heard a booming voice, I look up and the being was just as big as the monsters. Its hand reaching for me, I ran and screamed, only to be picked up, picked up by such a force I dropped the flowers and come face to face with a person. "I'm the titan Kiros, you will free us!" it said.
A titan? Daddy told me of them and said they were bad and he was keeping them in jail...wait… the darkest part of the underworld is their jail! AND THE MONSTER THE JAILERS! I screamed as the titan squeezed me, it hurts so much. "DDDAAAADDDDYYYY!" I screamed as loud as I can, crying to him.
(Hades point of view)
"DDDAAADDDDYYYY!" I heard Iphigenia scream, I jump out of my throne to go to the Elysian Fields and see's a trail of petals leading to tartaros, my nightmare came to life, I followed the trail, bident in hand along with armor already on and headed to the cell of the titans, the hekatonchieres holding the other titans back, trying to reach my child. I see blood bleeding threw her mouth, she struggles to escape, and screaming for me threw her tears. "DDAAADDYYY!" she screams yet again. On instinct, I ran into the cell and the titan see's me, eyes widen in fear almost. He lets her go in air and I see her fall, I fly up and grab her, my cape and see's her shaking in pain. I handed her the jailers and my eyes turn from charcoal black to bloody red with rage "YOU! You dare to harm my child, my flesh and blood! You shall be punished to the extreme!" I roared, slamming my bident to the ground, encoffing the titan in a coffin of rock and stone, crushing him as he crushed her. "Now you will know her pain forever!" I said, leaving and taking my child from the jailer and leaving. Iphigenia looks up, snuggling up and clinging up to my cape. "I-I'm sorry daddy..." I heard her say in a hush voice. I shushed her and walked her to Persephone and gave her to heal our daughter.
(Iphigenia's point of view)
It hurts so much...I really want daddy to hold me...but mommy's trying to heal me and I lay down on my bed. I see daddy sit on the bed and lay my head on his lap as mommy heals me. "you see why I told you...I should have told you...but you are so young..." he said, I calmed down and started to feel better " it grieves me to see you in such pain...you'll be better soon and the titan is punished...get well and better my gem" he said, stroking my hair, I soon felt better to sleep and mommy covered me in a blanket. I finally sleep after a whole day and night of no sleep.

I pet her hair, the mixed emotions of anger and relief in my head. I'm glad she's safe yet angered that she didn't hear my warning. But she is young and a child, lessons needed to be learned, even if it hurts. My realm is not without danger, but I'm glad she's safe now. "Think she'll listen after today?" I heard my wife ask. I nod then said " lessons learned and taught, she learned that I have rules for a reason, I mean to protect her and keep her safe...even in my domain." I said I get Iphigenia off my lap and laid her head on her pillow, tucked her in and kissed her forehead. I looked back at my blossom and walked back to her bedside, placing a dark flower on her bed side and left, making sure that I'm glad she's back with us and safe.
