Sorry I took so long to update this, but I realized that no one much was reading this so I gave up and went on to my other story "Only One Person Left".
I did have one last chapter ready for this though, so I decided to post it just for the hell of it.
Hades POV
I let them laugh.
I let them gloat.
I let them exile me from Olympus.
But I will NOT let them kill Maria and get away with it.
She was the one I loved the most. My one true love. And Zeus crushed her. Why? Because of the danger my children could have possessed. I saved Nico and Bianca because they were close enough to me. Maria on the other hand…she was not as fortunate.
Of course since I am the god of death, I've seen her once. Briefly. She was in Elysium for a while, but she decided to try for a second life.
I would never see her again. Then, just as I was about to call out to her for her to stop and stay with me, she stepped into the river of forgetfulness. She slipped away from right between my fingertips.
I remember that moment every single day of my impossibly long immortal life. It is slowly eating me up and consuming from the inside.
I live a lonely life down here in the underworld. Even though my domain is impossible crowded and I have to admit, I do have Persephone, I am impossibly lonely. I have a hole in my heart where Maria was supposed to be.
Then there was that incident with Poseidon's child. He just comes, waltzing in here, expecting me to understand his petty little problems. Its not like he understands my problems, now does he? It is not like Zeus tried to kill him! How can Zeus be that cruel?
The day that I found out that Poseidon had a child; I had a thirst for revenge. Though I knew I needed to wait for the right moment for that revenge.
But the final straw came when Zeus's child, Thalia, came back to life after being a pine tree for so long. Zeus would of course never realize his own mistake, but he insists on consequence only me. He hadn't tried to kill Thalia had he?
So at that moment I decided that I would have to do it now. I would have to take Bianca and Nico out of the Lotus hotel.
They had been stuck in there since World War 2, ever since Maria died. I put them there to keep them safe, so that they would not have the same fate as their mother. It was about time they cam out into the cold, cruel world.
So I sent Charon to retrieve them. To get them out of the place that had captured so many others. I told Charon to make sure that they went to a normal school and lived in an orphanage. I didn't want them knowing anything about the godly world just yet. It had to be perfectly timed.
And now was the time.
They had been in the orphanage long enough. They will finally know, and they will finally be known. After all, the great prophecy is under way, and I cannot let Zeus and Poseidon control everything. I must have some control over this.
My children will be my weapon.
Does Zeus really think he can keep me, Hades, cooped up in the underworld while the great prophecy goes on?
No.
I will not stay silent.
I will have my revenge, and when I do, it will be sweet.
But for now, I will have to wait.
It will take a while for one of those Saitor seekers to find my children and take them back to camp.
Meanwhile, I will look over them and make sure no danger harms them.
So I wait. Wait in the underworld. Stuck here. With nowhere else to go.
After all, there is no escaping hell.
And there you have it.
I might not come back to this story for a while, but if I get an idea, I will definitely come back!
So for now, tat ta!
