Persephone

Persephone sat nervously on her throne prettified and what she had seen and heard, Hades unsure why she was nervous stood there bored by the worry, he heard Athena was banished from the realms something James had the power to do but he thought it was personally to lenient and deserved more he actually smiled at his handiwork on Thánatos; Thánatos was a shame but James had his reasons and Hermes cowering to James, he had heard stories about James being ill but also heard that this was a made up story. “Relax Persephone you have nothing to be scared off! What even makes you think he will come after you?” “Yes grandmother why would I come after you?” I snapped marching forward to them both, “James; let’s not do anything stupid!” “Ask her about these creatures being unleashed...who drugged Cerberus, who caused confusion and who led this idea all along, more work for you because of the extra dead; you ask her that and you will know why!” “What are you on about it was Zeus!” “No, it was Persephone, Zeus didn’t create the idea or implement; she did. The idea was to bring my memory back but those parts are dead! Her, Athena, Hermes and Thánatos were all part of it, 1,000’s of deaths, villages burnt!” “Yes I don’t care about that; it’s only expendable humans. I care about her disobeying me, destroying part of my work, freeing the creatures and drugging my dog!” “Athena was needed to make sure it went all smooth, it went peacefully and no one would suspect such a thing, her involvement was to make it looked like an accident or a breaking free, Thánatos was to drop the realm and let them travel through and Persephone’s was to simple let them out and send them on her way. Hermes who knows what he did!” “Prove it!” “Ask Cersei, Sansa, Hermes or best it out of her!” I growled walking up to Persephone who laughing spoke, “You can’t believe this can you, either of you!” “You all failed to realise one thing...Medusa, she overheard you but not in the way you expect... you talked quietly but she felt the vibrations as snakes do and felt it word for word before leaving she knew the truth and Hermes, o how Hermes blabbed!” I coughed feeling that sick feeling once again and coughing up blood spat, “I want to know why? They said to “regain my memory” but I doubt that is the entire reason!” and spitting the blood into a bowl Persephone stopped before asking concerned, “Are you okay?” I coughed again and banging my chest roared, “No! Thanks to you I am stuck as a fucking werewolf who isn’t able to shift because here we have no full moons. For four months I haven’t shifted and the wolf is agitated. angry, in pain, dying and beating my body up, the blood is the internal bleeding I have is due to the wolf trying to break out!” “We need to get you to Asclepius!” “No! You aren’t getting out of it like that!” Hades nodded before barking, “We will see to it!” “No, neither of you will. Family love each other...my family will sort it not you, neither of you helped me when I needed it so Hades after this go back to your games in the Underworld because I don’t need you or want you” “Son!” “My father is dead. Hermes will find a cure, I trust him enough to! No tell me Persephone before I start breaking bones!” she looked at Hades but knew she wouldn’t get any help said in what was a confession despot not admitting it exactly, “I wanted your memory back but not just for the obvious reasons, I wanted you to be happy like you were before Athena...when you loved me, I love you James, even if you are my grandson and I got desperate for it... don’t ask me to apologise for the human death or the damage on Earth because like all the others God’s I don’t care and Hades how could I ever love a man who kidnapped me... the children healed the rift but I had been seeing other men all this time: Thánatos, Hermes, Adonis, Apollo, Jon Snow hell I even had a seventy year relationship with Hekate and a fling with Kassandra! It’s just I felt with you James it was more permanent then the others” I glared at her before snapping, “All this for you own selfishness! You have made me hate you even worse, many over the singular!” I coughed again before hearing her say, “I didn’t know about the wolf! I’m sorry, I would have stopped her!” “That’s the first words from you mouth that I actually agree with, it was Athena’s fault and she had an unwelcoming end!” she looked down and nodding spoke, “So this is it...do what you wish!”
