Stop

As the armour clunked and banner raised with more the dead climbing out of their graves. The pure pace of Krisi’s army flooding Hades’ realm was overwhelming causing the Isu to immediately retreat to his palace relying on his guards for protection. He wrote to Ares but instead was met by him joining in the siege of the palace waiting for the command to attack and Hephaestus and Hermes’ responses were nothing but silence, he fiercely begged for an meeting but as his land was engulfed by the armour it was clear to him at least just how many Isu had been plotting or opposing Zeus and evidently him. Time was short so taking the plunge he walked out with his guards hands raised to confront his grandson who stood hand on his sword watched as Hades spoke, “No funny business just a talk!” he nodded before stepping forward nodding to his archers to take the guards out, “No we are even in numbers!” “You say that but look at the army it outnumber’s mine 50 to 1 maybe more!” “So it’s an warm up for Zeus then!” “Please stop this. You were respected and now this!” “After what I saw Artemis that animal doesn’t deserve to live!” “Then tell me!” Krisi looked back to his army but hearing, “Krisi let’s show him!” he nodded as the woman pushed past the warriors and standing in front of the enemy spoke, “This is me living Hades. I wanted to die but Charon saved me; this is all he could to help me! I don’t feel much anymore and barely sleep but I’m safer when Krisi is around. He has helped and is protecting me from him and you all stood there and watched!” “I can’t let you kill Zeus!” “Then there is only one option left!” Krisi drew his sword which caused Hades to do the same until a voice screeched as she rushed in between both people, “Stand down both of you! Stop it!” Persephone urged pushing them two arms length apart, “You don’t have to fight!” “He doesn’t have to fight. Just stand down Krisi and I will stop any punishment being inflicted on you” “Change the fucking record. He gets away with everything unless someone keeps on him in check, that person is me. What he does to the women here is pure shit and the way he treats you all is worse; no respect, care, nothing more than a lapdog!” “He is the king respect that!” “Hades I know he is your brother but he is just a tyrant with an harem of sisters!” “No!” “Can’t you see the indoctrination that you are under?!” “I won’t listen anymore!” “Look at Artemis, listen to her story or are you as stupid as you are apparent blind and death!” “I will sort this out afterwards!” “Like hell you will Hades you are weak this is why you are here not in Olympus!” Persephone spoke siding with her grandson, “You side with him now? Why?” “Because Zeus... he did it to me, the child didn’t survive the birth so it didn’t matter... It showed you how much you actually care to see you didn’t notice my pregnancy. The thing is unlike the others I was already upset and depressed from being kidnapped by you. So what Zeus did, didn’t actually effect me!” “You should have told me!” “And what have it brushed under the carpet like everything else?” “No I could... would have! It doesn’t matter now. Krisi stand down!” Krisi shook his head as he drew his sword getting a couple of practice swings in whilst Hades drew his, “We are family Hades. Years ago you would have seen this was the right decision...” Persephone spoke standing by Artemis, “You side with him!” “I stand by my friends and what you used to stand for! It’s your choice how this ends, not mine!”
