Goodbye’s are always the hardest

"Thanatos?" Hades queried and seeing the man walk up to them he nodded with Sansa and Arya on each arm before nodding he spoke, "Yes and I have come back to fulfill my duties, James can enjoy the rest of his time before taking his roles!" he looked at me before saying, "James...what have you done?" "He seeks to claim an virgin goddess as his lover!" "I love Athena and you can't change that!" "James please stop this; we could remain friends but don't make it worse!" "Zeus come on, let her be with him their child will earn both abilities and fulfill her role!" he shook his head before growling, "He won't leave her alone unless we do something!" and grabbing my throat I was thrown down again but this time I was sent backwards past the walls of Elysium and hitting the tree's of the burnt tress and coughing I looked down brushing the dirt off my arms, "James you are alright!" Charon spoke pulling me to my feet and nodding I coughed, "Yes, just got thrown here by Zeus!" "Didn't work out?" "No and even Athena doesn't want it to happen!" "Maybe it is wise, you can find someone else who won't get you hurt and with Thanatos back you won't have to do his work!" "So there is no point of me being here!" he slapped my shoulder before saying, "I could always do with the help especially since Campe’s is dead!" I looked down before sighing he spoke, "Cheer up James you know Hades and Persephone have your back and with all the people here and all the goddesses!" I looked over to the giant building before looking down spoke, "There is no point in me staying here, tell the others of what I did!" "James..." I walked over to the abyss like prison and feeling his arm pull me back he spoke, "No! You can't, just think of your family!" "My last gift is to you Charon one of my few friends. I will keep them locked up" "Just drink some of the Lethe water, you won't have to remember ever again!" "I still have hope and the memories of happiness, I will enjoy them to the end of my days!" I walked to the edge and looking down I wrote, "I love you Athena but I won't be burden anymore Zeus or to anyone, Charon will know where I am! Goodbye- James!" "Whatever you are thinking just stop, please...Let's talk about it- Persephone" "James please I couldn't bare it-Athena!" "Son we can sort this out- Thanatos" "Listen to me, I will find a way I haven't let you down before- Hades" and looking down my response was, "The thorn from the bush that has been planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood!" and taking a breath jumped off the edge into the abyss.

Charon stood there before sighing muttered, “Goodbye friend!” and looking down he heard the thuds as the others rushed to where he stood, “Where is he? Where is he?” Hades spat and looking down into the hole Hades growled, “I told you to seal it!” “We needed and replacement you know that...he felt the walls close in on him and saw no value to himself...no job, Athena rejected him, Zeus and the others hate him, he said his last gift was to help me and the underworld!” “You have to get him Hades!” Persephone begged and shaking his head he spoke, “Even I don’t venture down there, it’s much more extreme down there!” “I will go down there!” Persephone barked and being pulled back by the others she heard, “No that is not wise, no god should witness such a thing!” “He is down there!” “I know, I know but I think we’d better just turn away and move on!” “I will go down there! It’s my fault!” Poseidon pulled her back with Artemis, “So you are going to do nothing?” “No, I am going to get Hephaestus to make the strongest armour we have, send down all the documents we have on the prisoners, my Bident, Than’s sword, Athena’s shield! Give me that” he tore it off Athena and pushing her back snapped, “You don’t deserve it! What else...what else?” “Hades calm brother, calm!” “Don’t tell me to calm Poseidon!” he roared, “You don’t know what it is like down there and I hope you never have to! Apollo will agree!” “It’s pretty horrible the difference is he wasn’t sent down there he went himself down there, only he can come back up and I don’t he will for a hell of a long time!” Hades grabbed the bridge of his nose before growling snapped, “This is what I want done...Poseidon issue this all none underworld gods are banished unless you are Hermes who has a reason to be here, Charon get back to work! Athena stay the hell away from any of us!” “Hades I didn’t...” “Shut up before I put you down there as punishment for your actions!” “But...” “Leave!” Persephone growled and walking up to Hades she looked down and asked, “What now?” “We will give him all the comfort we can as he does the job! I hate it but Charon is right he is filling a gap!” “He is finally being useful!” Zeus spoke and growling Hades drew his weapon, “One more fucking word Zeus! One word and I will slaughter you!” “I control the realms!” “No you control that sissy crap of the living realms, the sea is Poseidon’s, this is ours so leave and never return unless invited!” and looking down spoke, “I am going to miss the trouble maker!” “Hades...” “I know; he told me!” “Why?” “Because he believed that either he would be with Athena or alone...so told me to look after it!” So wrapping his arm around her spoke, “Come and let’s raise the child for his sake!”
