… Hestia came and talked with her brother
Changing is in the air.
Hades knew that things were changing now. It has been now only three days that he and the heroes came back from Camelot, where they succeeded to destroy the darkness.
And it has been a month since Zelena has been released from her cellar, and he finally had the right to talk with her, freely.
Now he was there, waiting for someone to come, as he has been told by Iris, who gave him a message from Hestia, saying she wanted to talk with him.
And, now, here she was. Standing in front of him smiling at her dear brother that she didn't see since such a long, long time.
She didn't approach him, their relationship was not that good, so she didn't embrace him. She just smiled.
"Hello Hades, she told him. That's a nice place, where you live.
- Yes, it is. Why are you here Hestia ?
- Zeus send me there, and I came here to see you, as we didn't see each other since… a long time. We wanted to know how things were for you.
- Pretty good, I would say.
- You found the person you were looking for ?
- Yes, I did.
- But you won't tell me something about her.
- No.
- Why ?
- I don't trust you.
- Oh no, brother ! She exclaimed."
He looked at her with surprise. She continued.
"Don't tell me that ! You can give that excuse to Poseidon, or Zeus, or even Hera, but not to me. Because you know as I do that it's false.
- You think so ?
- Oh, yes. I know you Hades, much more than you do yourself. I'm the only one you accepted to see before this day, except when you asked for Zeus' help.
- I didn't….
- Of course you did. So now that you we agree, tell me more about her."
When she saw a smile on her brother's face, Hestia knew that she had been right to come there.
And then they talked, for hours and hours, both happy to be reunited.
In the end, the goddess smiled at her brother.
"What are you thinking ? Hades asked, also with a smile on his lips.
- Nothing, the other answered mysteriously, just that… changing is in the air."
And she wasn't just talking about him.
"What do you mean ?
- You… you're changing. And you're not the only one.
- What ?
- We are looking at you, all of you, as this town is where you live now… we have a great interest in it. And, she added before he began to talk, we do it because we care about you, not to spy you, and we don't do it all the time, right ?
- Right.
- I have to go. I was happy to talk with you.
- Me too. Goodbye Hestia, I hope you will come again here.
- Don't worry, I surely will, but it won't be just me.
- It's alright, I guess the other gods can come there."
She smiled. He accepted the probability of Zeus' presence, that was a great thing, and a good beginning.
Changing is in the air.
And in people, of course.
