Accept the proposal

"Okay, even if it is for the amusement of making Artemis call me daddy!" she smiled bowing her head spoke, "You honour me king!" I nodded before taking her hand spoke, "This will be business only!" "I understand and I know of your feelings for Athena, I just ask that you look after me and the child!" I nodded before kissing her spoke, "I will and that's a promise!" it wasn't full of passion or love as if we were lovers but it was gentle, I had always hoped I would be in Athena's arms but Leto wasn't bad either. The next few nights it was the same thing until we knew for sure she was pregnant then like an business deal we were stopped and returned to our own rooms. 13 months old and holding our young children in her arms Leto spoke, "Funny...to think twins with Zeus and now you!" I nodded before sitting next to her spoke, "And their protectors are Charon, Brienne and their siblings Apollo and Artemis!" "Agreed!" she handed me Talaiporía , "I just know you are going to be vicious...the way you smirked on birth, Talai was perfect for you!" Leto nodded before stating "And Vasanistírio will equally be as wicked as you!" "I hope so I hope they both are. It may be a lonely path but it will keep them from harm in terms of love, no one to break their hearts!" "Krisi you know you will get her eventually, let's not burden them with our own ones!" I nodded before saying, "Are you going to the service to visit their siblings?" she nodded before saying, "Yes but Charon informed Hades who informed Persephone and they both want to see them. When Hades heard of Talai's evil smirk from birth he grew fascinated in her and Vasan is always an interest to Persephone she said boys are prettier then baby girls!"

"When are you going?" "Tomorrow then I thought about spending a week or two up there depending on how popular the babies are with the others!" I nodded causing me to look down at the list before saying, "Funny everyone seem's to want to you at the same time, Brienne is taking a short break, Daenerys doing her job, you and the children!" "I can delay it if you want?" "No go!" I looked down at the wolf before saying, "Persephone you will go with them and protect them!" the wolf whined causing me to sternly state, "No you must protect your family!" the wolf huffed before laying down next to Leto I nodded respecting the loyalty. "You sure you won't be alone?" "No Asteria is still here and she can just help me learn more abilities!" she nodded before saying, "What will you grant her now? she literally has 5 out of the seven days out free!" "We have come to the agreement that she will be released as far as staying here under my supervision but her torment will be stopped!" "Rightfully so!" I agreed before saying, "Rest now, all three of you have a busy day tomorrow!"

Leto breathed feeling the slight breeze from the West and seeing Persephone trudged behind her she talked to the wolf, “Where’s Charon?” “You mean me?” she turned around and seeing the man watching her through his black eyes and nodding she spoke, “I have Krisi’s children!” he nodded before seeing the animal spoke, “This runt is?” “Persephone his friend. He doesn’t have many down there but she is one!” he nodded before turning around spoke, “Come Hades wants to see his great grandchildren and when you are ready I will take you to Elysium to see Persephone and your children!” she nodded before walking with him carried both in her arms, “Would you like me to carry one?” “Well Krisi trusts you so why not!” “I am well was one of the few friends he had, so when he told me of my role I respected it and accepted the responsibility! Hello Vasanistírio!” “We call him Vasan for short!” he nodded holding him in his arms before speaking, “Torment well the name definitely fits the place, Persephone go ahead, make sure it is clear!” the wolf walked past them and after a moments returned with a hound of the dead clutched between its fangs, “Now I can see why he wanted you!” “You see where his part human still remains, he insists she sleeps on his bed like it was an common dog and he shows great affection for her! Not always bad because she calms his anger down!” “He gets that off Hades and Ares!” she nodded before stating, “He still misses her you know, Athena!” “I assumed as much, otherwise marriage would have happened or something similar!” she nodded before saying, “Purely business but he looks after me unlike Zeus and Hera!” he agreed before stopping at the steps spoke, “Here we are!”

“Hades Charon has arrived!” “What does he want? I am busy!” Qyburn nodded before stating, “He has escorted Leto with the children!” “Let them in, let them in!” and wiping the blood off his armour spoke, “Bring them in, bring them in!” he nodded before leaving and clearing up his tools, “Charon accompanied by Leto and Krisi’s children Vasanistírio and Talaiporía! Oh yes and Persephone their pet!” he waited and seeing the Titan walk in with the children. “Leto it’s nice to see you again!” she nodded but as he went to step forward he was met by the growl from the wolf standing defensively in front of them, “Yield girl! Yield!” “She seems familiar!” “She was the runt from your wolf’s litter!” “He should have said, he could of had a stronger one!” “No he rather the runt, he can relate to being unwanted by someone!” “How is he?” “Angry, constantly angry and those who are sent down to him are punished harshly then before. He does however judge the himself with me and Brienne his ally and we decide what the punishment should be!” “And with the children?” “I couldn’t have asked for anyone better he looks after us all!” he nodded before stating, “I have heard a lot about Talai!” “Yes born smiling and enjoys watching those suffer!” “Lives up to the name suffering very well!” “Yes she loves people suffering! Vasan is more softer in nature but has shown very early on the power to torment people!” “Excellent!” he picked Talai up and holding her in his arms spoke, “Why didn’t he come?” “Brienne his assistant is having a few days leave, Daenerys his diplomat is away leaving only him left to watch over the prison!” he nodded before saying, “Please tell him that I want to see him sometime we all do!” “I will but I don’t think he particularly likes anyone at the moment he picks his friends and they are with him down there apart form Charon!” “Please try!” she nodded before looking over to Charon he spoke, “Come let’s go to Elysium, Qyburn inform James he is in charge!” and escorting her out of here Charon nodded writing the message on the parchment, just hoping he actually read it.

The door opened and looking down at her there she saw the ghostly eyes of James or Krisi, “Get up!” “But it isn’t one of my days!” “No, this is different the others are away and I wondered...” “If I would give you company?” I nodded and adjusting her tunic felt the wholes inside it, “How long for?” “Roughly two weeks! I thought you could finish teaching the rest of my abilities!” “I only have one left to teach; you know how to raise the dead, how to control the fire, the animals of the dead, the power to start wars among others. The only one left is to control the rate of decay, complete this and you will know everything there is” I nodded before saying, “And your reward is freedom well virtual freedom, you will have to stay here but no more punishment!” she nodded before hugging me spoke, “Thank you! At least here I am safe from Zeus!” I took her arm and escorting her out of the block took her to her room, “I just get changed and then we can start!” I bowed my head before leaving her heard cry, “Yes finally! Finally free from Zeus’ torment!” and laughing I muttered, “I think we can all appreciate that feeling!”

Hades and Leto sat there whilst seeing Charon pull nearer to the blistering and beautiful city, “It’s so nice here! Calm and peaceful!” “It’s horrible, it’s so fake and so one dimensioned...it is all based one persons view!” “It is beautiful my wife does have an eye for beauty but you are fools for being it is your paradise...it’s her paradise and people who don’t remember that get punished!” “Thing is now...the bloodline runs it all. Adonis tried to rebel again, Persephone sent him to Tartarus and Krisi made sure he couldn’t do anything ever again!” “They live in dangerous times!” “Only if they misbehave!” Hades defended and smiling there he saw Persephone who standing in her dress with flowers in her head smiled, “Hades it’s nice to see you again!” what Leto found weird was they embraced, he wrapped his hands around her waist but not tightly, very loosely to the extent that you could fit another person between the gap and nodding he let go, “Not really a loving embrace!” Charon looked down at her before saying, “Who said they loved each other? Don’t forget he kidnapped her!” and helping her up onto the stone path Persephone jumped up on guard, “Is that? Is that my great grandchildren?” Leto nodded and smiling Persephone instinctively wrapped her around the boy, “Who is this little guy?” “Vasanistirio or Vasan for short!” she smiled cuddling the baby who glowing in the greenish-Black lines giggled in her arms, “That’s weird!” “What is?” “He has never done that!” and Hades taking Talaiporia in his arms spoke, “Come let’s show the others, whilst you rest your arms!”

They walked to the courtyard and looking around there they saw the group waiting there, “Apollo! Artemis?” they immediately turned around to see their mother, “Mum?” she nodded as they rushed to her, “Yes I’ve missed you soo much!” “Where were you? We hunted high and low for you!” “You didn’t check Tartarus did you?” “But why were you there?” “Imprisoned by Hera for “seducing Zeus, I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for Krisi!” “Where’s that bitch?” growled, “Currently getting punished by your...well step father? No we aren’t together...Krisi or James to others!” “Is he alright?” Cersei asked worriedly and nodding she spoke, “Yes. The odd scratches, I mainly worry about him mentally; he is fine with me and the children but the anger inside of him is worse than Ares’ apart for that I think lonely apart for Persephone!” “Me?” “Oh no, Persephone his loyal mutt!” the wolf stood there glaring at the others as it stood protectively near the children, “He names a wolf after me?” “Yes something to remind him of you, you were his friend and turned out one of the few, so he honoured that!” Hermes nodded before muttering, “As a lover not so much!” he then looking up spoke, “So he is coming to visit?” “No, he rather be alone; that or he hates you all! He would literally prefer to be down there by himself. The workforce is also on leave anyway. His assistant is spending a few days here as she often does, his diplomat is seeing Jon and the rest of us are here!” “Who is his assistant?” and when Charon said the name it caused Sansa and Cersei to stop and look over with Thánatos wrapping his arms around them, “A strong fairly masculine woman, a Knight in her early life went by the name of Brienne!” “Brienne? Her? I thought she had more honour!” “She does but you all used her without even showing an ounce of respect, she joins him and all the gods respect her position whilst she works for a greater cause. Even Hades and Zeus would have to show her respect!” “Daenerys as his eyes and ears has a similar amount of respect that showed be shown!” “Her too?” “Please tell me he hasn’t done something stupid like using Joffrey as his advisor?” “No he is locked up next to Kronos!” “Some sense!” “At least he is trying to move on!” Charon spoke defensively, “He has accepted his fate of not being wanted and has accepted that we all betray each other, its better than most of you!” the group fell silent before Cersei fell to her knees clutching her head in pain, “No! No! No!” she screech seeing the images of what she had done clawing at her skin, “it burns, it burns!” “Hades what are you doing?” “I am doing nothing!” Vasan smiled clapping his hands, “Vasan stop it! Bad boy” Leto spoke with authority but it wasn’t until Persephone spoke he stooped it but this only caused Talai to laugh in entertainment, “I am soo sorry Cersei his abilities has developed very early and he thinks it’s funny!” “What was that?” “His ability to torment people, he is the god of torment! Talaiporia is the goddess of suffering!” “Vasan is going to be a little troublemaker I see!” Persephone giggled and stopping she saw Artemis stop what she was doing and immediately knew he was repeating the performance this time on Artemis and it must have been different, Artemis wept and running on the spot cried, “Than wait! No stop please!” “Vasan what did I tell you?” Persephone spoke and frowning the baby stopped, “Good boy!” “He listens to you!” “Well it’s about time someone did! Anyway come and let’s feast, we can celebrate the birthing of two more members of our family!”
