Interviews and friends

18 months had passed and reaching the last three sighed in relief I really did have a bunch of monsters down here, “Next!” barking I spoke and seeing and walking there I saw a woman who had evidently changed for the occasion and standing up I offered my hand, “Just to let you know the order of things you tell me your name, then charge and I will go from what was written down and what you say and we will decide from there. I will be as fair as I possibly can!”

She nodded before saying, “My name is Leto!” “Titan daughter, mother of Artemis and Apollo?” “Yes!” “I heard your story from my friend Artemis all the time!” I offered her a drink and sitting down opposite me spoke in her burning shackles, “Friend of my daughter?” “Yes, I protected her virginity once or twice as well! Anyway what is your charge?” I flicked through the book searching for her record and she spoke, “I fought against the Gods in the war but Zeus absolved my punishment, so I assume I am down here because of Hera’s jealously for what happened!” I looked down and studying the writing spoke, “A few moments please...pass me the candle!” she slid it over drinking more of her wine well sort of wine and shaking my head spoke, “This isn’t Zeus’ handwriting or Hades, Persephone or Thánatos! It’s too neat for theirs!” I slid the ledger over and spoke “you are my witness here that is not the same handwriting as the others!” and flicking through pages she agreed, “You XXXIII” the soldier turned and handing him the ledger spoke, “Are they the same?” it shook its head causing Leto to speak, “Like I said, it is probably Hera!” I turned to the front and showing the first page I read, “I declare that only the judge should write in this ledger and these individuals should be the Keeper of Tartarus, Zeus and the Underworld gods can sentence a person or being to eternal suffering and punishment for their actions! Then all have signed” I lifted the book up and spoke, “Only they can charge and every charge is finalised by the recording this ledger...this means Hera can’t punish you and thus has caused as the humans put it “mistrial” meaning you are free!” I broke the shackles off and feeling her freedom spoke, “Thank you! Thank you!” I got my parchment out and wrote my first message in months, “Hades, Hera needs to be sent to Tartarus. Caused mistrial and needs to suffer for what she did. I have evidence to proof these claims- Krisi/James” “How dare you accuse me of anything of such!-Hera” “Come down here and I can prove it- Krisi” “James this is a serious charge-Hades” “I have the proof now come down here and we can sort it out!-Krisi” I looked at Leto before saying, “You are free but if Hera is up there or will return there then I advise you stay here of in Elysium, I could do with the help either way soo much work to do!” “I think I will stay here! I trust you and I don’t know how the others will react to my freedom, if you want some company I could you know as a thank you!” “Lets just see how things pan out!” and looking at the statue of Athena spoke, “I still have hope yet!” she nodded before looking down at the parchment read, “Charon, Zeus and Hera are on their way-Hades” she nodded causing me to say, “Go and rest in my room, I will sort this out meanwhile...next!”

“Name?” “Daenerys Targaryen!” I looked through the book and smiling spoke, “Well look at your charges: murder, burning a whole town to the ground including 100 children, 80 dogs, 87 pregnant women. Crucifixion, theft, multiple counts of Incest, poison do I need to go on?” she shook her head before saying, “I did it but I did it to stop Cersei from ruling that evil bitch!” “My mother!” she froze and looking down I spoke, “You should see her now... powerless but married to Hermes! You know my stepmum, Sansa?” “We never got on!” I nodded before saying, “Yes it says here!” “That throne you sit on corrupts!” “To those who are alive! hmmm!” “What? How about you work off your punishment!” “How exactly definitely not if you want to me to do anything sexual!” “No I love another, I was going to suggest Diplomacy or spying...I am isolated down here so if I tag you so I can monitor where you are could you be my eyes and ears up there...you get to be free and see Jon again in exchange you report back to me and find me a animal for company!” “How long for? That depends on your own effort... bare in mind you meant to be punished for every death which totals at 6,324 which equals a life sentence of 100 years which equal 6,324,000 years and that’s before adding the other crimes...what would you rather? Serve or locked in the cage...” she nodded causing her to say, “Yes!” I nodded before grabbing my brand marker and dug it into her arm, “Go and rest, sleep!” she nodded before saying, “Next and final!”

“Name?” “Asteria” “By looking at your eyes a titan!” “Yes of the stars and astrology!” “Please sit!” “You were the one who helped me 18 or so months back!” she nodded causing me to say, “Thank you for that but you never answered... aren’t you meant to be dead?” “That story? No, I escaped but Poseidon betrayed me and Zeus angry that I continued to refuse him!” I nodded before me saying, “The charge is hilarious...Heresy!” she nodded causing me to think about it before saying, “You did fight against my family in the war” she nodded causing her to say, “You follow Zeus’ orders without realising the power you and your father possess!” “I don’t like any of them up there apart for a few! I personally rather be down here then fake, I just miss Athena!” “Massive place here as well!” I nodded before saying, “How about a deal...it’s says 14 millenniums of torture. How about this 14 days of the worst torment and if you get past it you can spend 3 of the 7 days out here with me, helping me maintain order and in 14 months time you can spend 4 days out here!” “So three days free and 4 days of torment?” “No it will be a lesser form of before!” “I could teach you how to use your abilities...something they obviously haven’t!” “How about this... you do that and with each ability I learn you get a lesser sentence or reward and if you help me maybe we could do something about freeing you!” she nodded causing me to say, “Well we slowly walk back the less you will have to do...” and smiling she nodded, “Thank you!”

I locked her back in and turning the intensity up sat back down on my throne with my warriors standing guard the thing is the screams and cries of the tortured and punished soon lost its intimidation fear it was just like some shit music on repeat and looking over from where I sat heard the door open and footsteps storm towards me, “What is the meaning of this?” “What do you mean?” “Calling my wife out!” “Your wife caused a mistrial and as a result Leto should never have been locked down here I think it’s right she gets compensation!” and seeing Charon I smiled seeing my friend, “It’s been a while!” “Too long my friend, Hades hates not being able to see you and Persephone is even worse her land struggles, flowers droop, animals struggle and food is limited. She misses you terribly!” I nodded causing me to say, “I have been busy!” he nodded as I pulled out the ledger and spoke, “Does this state that only the person accusing the individual should write in this ledger and does it not say it should only be the Keeper, underworld gods and Zeus?” “It does and looking at Zeus he read it causing me to turn to Leto’s record, “Not only is this not a charge but also she is the run who conducted it, charged her and imprisoned her in this torment!” he looked down and seeing the writing I spoke, “That doesn’t match any of the other gods handwriting and looking at Zeus he nodded admitting with great reluctance, “Yes you are right! She had no right to!” I nodded before stating, “A confession?” “Zeus...” “Hera we have no choice it is clear in gold and white!” I nodded before hearing him offer, “How about this... you let her go and you can have Artemis? Aphrodite, Styx...you could have Leto if you want!” “No!” Hera looked over to the statues of Athena before pleading, “Have Athena! Please!” I got up and nodding Zeus spoke, “Yes have her if you want!” I smiled before walking up to them spoke, “You think I take bribes? You really think I would? For 536 years she has been in torment for what happened! Hera you confessed!” “Okay, how about she spends a few days down here?” “No my realm my rules! She will spend 536 days down here of constant psychological and physical torture! Then she will return!” and trying to protest he was stopped by the warriors who pulled him away, “Please!” “No!” I snarled and looking it spoke, “Enjoy!” before cranking it up smiled as her heard the next cries and screams of torment, “Nice seeing you Zeus!”
