The end.

Mistakes after mistakes after mistakes bestowed Zeus who felt the pressure from every single god wanting answers. Athena’s arrogance annoyed the majority even alienated them, she had James eyes’ and see saw things clearer and through how he originally saw them the difference was James kept to himself and left the others to it criticising when he could and the old “Told you so” when he was right; Athena however was in their faces about it, abrupt and hostile to all that stood in her way. Athena did however respect James and with that offered and offering to him weekly but this angered both Philippa and the Underworld gods who called it a ‘tainted offering’ but Athena didn’t care she did it more and watching from his balcony he looked over to Hera who spat, “That bitch! Say what you want about James but at least he respected you to a extent and was humble about it!” Zeus nodded before studying the scene spoke, “I made a mistake!” and with that was met by Persephone tackling Athena to the ground yelling at her.

“I am going to kill you bitch for what you did to us all! You ruined everything! He should have been with me” “Calm down Persephone this isn’t worth it!” Athena growled drawing her spear and nodding Persephone spat, “Every punch to your face is pleasure for everyone!” she drew her staff before continuing, “Every time I look at you I see his eyes and I see what has happened because of you all those years ago!” “You want to fight then let’s do it! Just remember I will kill you” “And I will kill you then he can take his eyes back off you!” they stared each other down before hearing a loud cry, “Stop it both of you James is gone!” “As in?” “Gone gone! I woke this morning and he was gone. He hasn’t sounded right for the last few days but I didn’t think it was that bad!” “Okay Philippa calm down and think about it. He has been gone for a few hours and is blind so it can’t be that hard to find him and he wouldn’t of made much progress. Let’s starts from the prison and work from there!” Persephone took her arm and Athena nodding spoke, “Let’s find him. It’s the least I can do!”

Months passed, “Nothing!” Hades barked sitting down grabbing the wine taking a large mouthful, “We have spent five months looking for him and nothing not even a body. It can’t be that hard to find a blinded massive Isu god with ashen hair!” “We have spent months for nothing I just don’t get why!” Persephone commented, “Before he left kept saying he was slowing everything down and he was useless, yes his other senses heightened but our job really is visual. God we still have those cells to repair! I just hoped we could have found a way around Zeus’ loophole but nothing!” Hades nodded before slapping his head snapped I know where he will be...he just took the long way to it, where it all began! Tell Zeus to call off the search party and meet us at the old courtyard!” Athena nodded before walking off Hades spoke, “I always hated that courtyard!” Persephone nodded before waking next to her former husband spoke, “He has never had any luck...had a lover she said fuck it, went down to Tartarus with no thanks, gets mutilated multiple times with no thanks, loses his best friend, meets another and she is a bitch but loves him, loses his eyesight and is now alone in his own mind!” Hades nodded before saying, “Come on let’s get him back!”

They walked up to the courtyard and looking down among the rubble from the last rebellion that took place saw the god sitting against the rock not moving just thinking, “You always loudest footsteps Hades!” “James, what are you doing here?” and looking over to the voice he spoke, “I was thinking: I am no use to anyone, can’t do shit and that’s okay now, maybe my job is done here!” “Where are going to go?” Zeus asked and slapping him in the back of head Hades snapped, “He means finished completely, gone, not coming back, dead!” Persephone crouched down and looking at him spoke, “A penny for your thoughts?” he moved his head around as if someone would to look at a site before saying, “This is where it all began: since then it got worse and worse and when it looked to get better it got hell of a lot worse, I sat here pondering everything and I can’t imagine a life better then this; I wasn’t wanted at birth, not wanted by Athena and never even once given credit for my work, Zeus got statues for fucking women, surely I should have one for my job, my role? Then I remembered I am not liked by many, it was going to happen eventually deep down I knew and Philippa you were my comfort in my declining months, thank you!” “James...” Philippa begged but shaking his head he spoke, “Let’s leave it like that! This is where it started so let it be where it will end. My one request is Hades, you do it; you always treated it with respect and me!” Hades nodded before crouching spoke, “You were always a good boy and great son to me. Thank you, you have earn’t your rest!” he looked away crying before Persephone hugging him spoke, “Sleep tight my angel!” Cersei wept before hugging him kissed his head, “The best Lannister of us all, I’m sorry I couldn’t stop it” Hermes comforted Cersei before speaking “I am going to miss you James! Even your bad moods, sleep tight and know I will make sure 100’s statues are built in your name, no one will forget you!” he hugged Philippa who kissing him spoke, “You won’t suffer anymore!” “There is good in you, we found it together, use it and don’t be like them. Hades...” he didn’t let James finish his sentence, “I know son!” James lowered his head and silently Hades closed his eyes before slamming the axe down. “Persephone!” Hades ordered and nodding she pushed past the others holding the body who resisted for a few moments before stopping lowered him down to the floor placing his arms on his chest as Hades put the mans head back near his body before placing his sword into the gods hands spoke, “I’m sorry son! It shouldn’t have been like this, you were meant to outlive us all!” Persephone held onto Philippa crying in each other’s arms and Cersei nuzzling her head into Hermes shoulders, “My condolences brother!” Hera spoke and looking down he hid the tears before coughing spoke, “He was the best child of them all, I always thought he would outlive us all, he was better then us and smarter and it all started because of you outsiders! There’s a reason Persephone doesn’t go back to your realms anymore; you are liars, deceivers, assholes!” “Is there anything we can do?” Hades nodded before saying, “Tell everyone of his story word for word. Tell them of how he was betrayed and screwed over, tell them how you can’t trust the gods and that we are all bad, I don’t care anymore! Now if you excuse us we have a burial to prepare!” Hera placed her hand on his shoulder before saying, “I know and when you are ready we will offer some sort of compensation for this mess!” “What I want is him alive with his sight, I want Athena skinned alive and her drinking toxic potions until she is as stupid as a brain dead rat and I want Zeus’ head on a spike and his testicles fed to Rus. You won’t do that so leave us alone!” Persephone placed Hades’ cloak over the body before looking down spoke, “We were once a close knitted family and look at what one dropped stitch has caused! Pain and sorrow” Hades nodded and seeing Hermes kneel down to the body, “Statues after statues will be built, they will litter the realms because that is what you deserved!” they looked at Philippa who sat by the body shrieked out loud wailing for him, “I will kill her even if it’s the last thing I do!” Persephone shook her head before kneeling to be in level with her spoke calmly, “I will do it, you mourn him and I will smash her head and that is a promise!”

Hermes kept his word and built endless statues of the man and many who originally didn’t believe it when asking Hades of him he would break down and admit it was true. In Elysium stood in the old courtyard his statue as a memorial, in the night realm stood one of him scarred but was regularly visited and respected with a nod of support from Nyx, Hades’ underworld has forty of them all over the place telling the story of his life and in Zeus’ realm stood the largest, 80 foot tall so all would see stood the image of him and Philippa without his eyes with the caption, “His last sacrifice!” the other was located in front of Athena’s temple of him leaning against a wall eyeless and alone with the caption “Sometimes life just doesn’t get better and it isn’t worth living anymore!” the news spread quickly of his death the cousin realm of the underworld gods the night gods quickly offered their apologies and condolences then came the others who offered their support and the gods of emotions were there for Philippa but she handed Zeus the crown and said it was Zeus’ job now because she was finished, she spent her time at the grave talking to the grave and putting flowers down which also meant she was joined by the other gods like Persephone and Hades who visited regularly but it hurt Athena the worst and she was quick to retaliate.

Athena dropped down and staring at the two gods who stood there trying to decide on who should take over, “What do you want?” they growled bearing their teeth at her she spoke, “What happened to James? I heard you murdered him!” “We have a thing in our realms called ‘Mercy Killing’ he asked for and I hated that he did but why should he have to suffer from what you and Zeus did to him!” Hades spoke adjusting his papers,“You killed a god instead of helping him!” “You were bragging and being arrogant instead of thanking him! He worshiped you and you refused him! You took his eyes and see it how he did and yet you still don’t understand his view but I forgot you are overprotected and overvalued!” Persephone barked, “I am the goddess of wisdom!” “And show very little of it!” Hades spoke before looking at the statue of James when he was younger, “Whatever way you try to shove the blame onto someone else or disown your blame all that matters is our boy, my adoptive son is dead virtually deciding to end his life because of you and your family’s branch actions. He once told us of when you sat in the meadow and a flower was used to describe your relationship, you could have said no or led him to another but you choose not to and then wanted him to take you to the celebrations knowing what would happen, just remember that it is you who caused this and Persephone was right...maybe they should have been together!” Athena drank some of his wine before slumping against the table nodded, “I...I...You’re right! It’s all my fault I started it, I enjoyed the attention from him and didn’t think about how it effected him!” Persephone grabbed Hades’ Bident and holding it against her throat barked, “I should kill you for what you did. No in fact I will kill you at least I will feel better!”

*Thud* *crack* *thud* “what the hell is that?” Hades spoke and looking out the extruding part of Tartarus caved in on its self, “Persephone... Persephone we need to go!” Persephone didn’t look away making saw Athena couldn’t flee before speaking, “What?” “Tartarus has collapsed...no! No! No! Athena get your weapons and armour, tell Zeus, fuck Ares’ dead get his children. The prisoners are loose!” Cersei stood from the sanctuary of Krisi and looking down from its elevated position spoke out loud so Philippa and Hermes could here, “And from the cracks and the floor caved in they knew the collapse had begun! And out came the monsters from within!” “Where did you hear that?” “Thánatos once told me of a story about the ‘World’s End’ I thought it was just a story to scare people but it was right! The ground collapsed and out comes those we dare not speak of!” they watched on seeing Kronos with a sword killing the soldiers barked, “I’m coming for you Zeus and I will tear you eyes from your body!” Hades got to his elevated position and nodding spoke, “This is going to be bloody!” Persephone smiled lightly as she commented, “James was important we just never saw it! He kept the evil away and now the realms will be plagued!”

Months passed and death plagued the realms on both sides the Gods would have easily won but the gods they needed were dead after trying to get Philippa from Krisi/James. The monsters led by the Titans had left the city and what interested Zeus and Hera prior to this was the way Philippa wasn’t harmed she sat next to the grave and despite her being and clear and easy target Kronos apologised to her and kept providing her food his men also made offerings to the statue taking God’s eyes and leaving them on his tomb but now Hades and Persephone had a decision to make or to simplify it Hades did, Talaiporia died in the conflict and Vasan had continued the fight under the gods banner, however the war had shifted to Zeus’ realm under the leadership of Hera and Hephaestus who had killed Kronos who in turn had murdered Zeus and Persephone stalked her prey in the night waiting for it to trip up, “Hermes anyone else coming?” “Artemis is coming with her followers the other safeguards weren’t installed because “Zeus didn’t think it was necessary” but apart for that everyone else is here, Persephone?” Hades pointed over to the street and seeing Persephone take Athena down spoke, “Won’t be long, when Artemis comes seal it up only the dead will enter our realms” Hermes nodded watching Persephone slam shot after shot into Athena’s head ignoring the screaming and pleas for forgiveness and looking up to the giant statue of James Persephone uttered the words, “Finally got what you deserved!” Artemis walked in with Aphrodite who bringing Adonis with her nodded, “Hermes close it!” Hermes flicked the switch and smashing the device spoke, “No more fucks ups!” Hades nodded before looking up at the statue spoke, “When the world ends we will be safe in our sustained bubble!”
