Serena's Pov
I was sitting by the falls fixing the damages Cerbus caused as the water nymphs were enjoying themselves near the flowers that i regrew. Just by the touch of my right hand the refresh scratches were slowly fading away and the moss replaced. "Persephone. Apollo is here for you." said Jyna the nature nymph. "Ok and can you search for any more damages that Cerbus or the monsters had caused." i asked her. "I'll get to it." said Jyna curtsying before running off somewhere. I smiled and walked around the forest until saw Apollo admiring the new flowers i planted. "Apollo, what brings you here?" i said approaching him. Apollo tunred to me smiling when he grabbed my hand giving it a peck. "Well your mother thought it be an excellent idea for us to know each other better by riding along on my chariot and have a pleasant night at the small music concert in Thebes." said Apollo. "I thought you would've been busy with the sun and the Oracle." i said. "Its no trouble my dear. Allow me to help you get on as the sun is about to set." said Apollo lifting me up by the arms and placed me down in front of him. "Wait!" said Meg rushing towards us. "Forgive me but i mist speak to Persephone." said Meg bowing her head. "It'll wont be long." i told before getting off and following Meg. "Whats going on?" i asked her. "Once again you are ditching me for a date." said Meg. "My mother's idea. Besides im sure Fang and Citus will distract you from Hades orders." i said. "I dont know. Hes been busy on two things one jis plans for who knows what and watching you." said Meg. "He's been spying on me since when." i asked crossing my arms. "When he almost kissed you a few days ago. Just be careful your the only friend i got." said Meg. "I will. But i wont be with Apollo for long since i need to meet with my brother." i said before going back to Apollo. "Come on we have time to waste." said Apollo grabbing my hand pulling me into the chariot.
We rose into the sky as Apollo reached towards the sun and raised his rope to trap it in his hands then pulled it as his horse rode away. I watched as Artemis came in with the moon pulling up to the sky as the other god created the stars. The chariot suddenly got hit by something making me almost fall out if Apollo didnt wrap his left arm around me. "What was that?" said Apollo looking around. I looked around and notcied the side of the chariot was burned. 'Hades.' i thought. "Apollo as much i was enjoying the chariot ride. I need to check on brother Hercules. Hes at the temple of Zeus." i explained as the chariot was hit again. I quickly held onto his waist so i wpuldnt fall again. "I'll drop you off there." said Apollo driving the sun to the otherside of the world. He let go of the sun and drove us to the temple. I saw Hercules walking inside as Apollo stopped his horses fpr me to get off. "Thank you Apollo." i said befpre pecki g his cheek. Apollo looked surprised at first then smiled at me when he rode back to Olympus. I turned around walking towards the temple as Zeus made himself appear through his statue. Walkjng inside i heard Hercules ask about why he was abandoned in the first place. "Your mother and i loved you with all our hearts until someone stole you and turned you human." said Zeus. As he said that i started to feel guilty making me look down and the tiled floor. I pretty much zoned out until Zeus blew a small wind at my hair. I lookdd up to see Hercules being put down as i walked towards him. "This is your sister. Persephone has been watching over you since she was the one who found you." said Zeus. "You might have known me as Serena." i said. "Why didn't you mention this sooner?" said Hercules. "She wanted to protect you and wanted to wait for the right time." said Zeus. "Plus its not that easy to ne at two places at once." i told him. "So how can i come back home?" said Hercules. "You have to prove yourself as a true hero." said Zeus. "Really I'll do anything." said Hercules. "You have to go the island of heros where Phil the trainer lives." said Serena.
"But how am i going to get there?" said Hercules. "Og that reminds me." said Zeus whistling loudly. The star shot out of the sky into the temple showing a white amd blue horse witj wings flying down. "You dont remember Pegasus do ya? You and him go way back son." said Zeus. Serena watched as Pegasus head bumped Hercules making him remember and the horse nuzzles her cheek causing her giggle. "He's an amazing horse but has the brain of a bird." i told Hercules as Pegasus chirped. "I'll gp train with Phil and be a true hero." said Hercules hopping on Pegasus. "Thats the spirit son." said Zeus. "I'll meet there Hercules." i said turning into a white mist as Zeus blew us out. Hercules and Pegasus headed to the island while i went to my home where Hades was waiting. "So you and Sun boy huh?" said Hades when he slurped up a worm from his bowl. "Does it matter since you blew off some steam on us earlier." said Serena. "It wouldnt have happened if you just said no." said Hades. "You don't own me like you own Meg." said Serena. "But you are destined to be my wife. The fates are never wrong about anything. So i had to make things clear through that pretty little head of yours that no one will be taking whats mine. Got it?" said Hades. "It's not going to work well as you hoped Hades." Said Serena turning to her tree. "What do you mean?" Said Hades pulling her back by the wrist. "I'm just saying. But how about this if you want I'll train that dog of yours and move my home somewhere near the underworld whenever you want my toxic and deadly plants for one of stupid plots as your plan goes through." Said Serena as Hades wrapped his arm around her waist. He hummed in thought and heard two growls in front of them. Fang got out of his hiding spot baring his thorn teeth and his long tail grew longer than his body as spikes with clear liquid leaking out. Beside Fang was a deer like creature stomping his hooves and pointed his sharp branch antlers at Hades ready to charge. "Ok but if doesn't work like you said then I'll do any kind of favors for you and no one else." Said Hades. "No backing out of this." Said Serena handing him half of the plants he wanted. "I'll be back for the rest." Said Hades before he disappeared. "Easy boys. He's gone for now." Said Serena petting the deer like creature. It breathed out through it's snout and leaned his head against her hand as its green eyes looked at her. 'He still hasn't figured it out.' said the deer in her head. "I'm not surprised that he or those imps recognized a boy resembling the baby he tried to kill." Said Serena going into her tree. 'Are you still going to go through with this wager.' said the deer. "Citis, I know what I'm doing. Hades will be keeping his word and I'll able to know where my friend Desiree is." Said Serena. 'I can search for her.' said Citis. "You would? But I don't know if you can find her. She can be anywhere." Said Serena. 'im your creation aren't I? We'll figure this out together.' said Citis.
"Alright, let me just finish up the last of the island where Phil lives." Said Serena turning into a mist and relax to the abandoned island. She turned back seeing her old nymphs accompanying themselves like nothing was wrong. Jyna laughed after her friend the water nymph slashed her and gasped when she saw Serena. "Persephone, I thought you were with Apollo." Said Jyna standing by her side. "I was but I had to go see father. So nothing I should be aware of." Said Serena. "Well there was a man camping here somewhere. He's been here for a month by the thing he had but didn't seem to be a threat." Said Jyna. "It's fine. I'll go check it out. Thank you." Said Serena before turning into her mortal disguise. Serena pushed her blonde so the left side of her shoulder and walked around humming to a song to herself. "What do we have here? Oh Zaira is going to love these." Said a voice. Serena looked through the trees to see a man wearing an Arabic outfit and small curled beard making a shovel and pot appear out of no where. "Excuse me? But why are you taking my roses?" Said Serena approaching the man. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know. It's my first time traveling and I wanted to bring these amazing to my friend back in Agrabah. She's a gardener like yourself." Said the man facing her. "Really? Well if you wanted then you would've asked me but what are you? No one can make the shovel and pot appear unless their gods or magical creatures." Said Serena. "You saw that. Well I'm a Genie who was set free. As much as I would love to chat I need to go to China for their moon festival. So can I take this rosebush to my friend?" Said the man. "Yeah go ahead and I hope you enjoy your travels." Said Serena. "Oh I will thank you." Said the man bowing to her an starts digging out the plant. Serena smiled and walked back to the falls where the nymphs were and Meg who was putting her aching feet in the water. "Hades ruined your date?" Said Meg smirking. "Shut up besides I straightened things out with him. So I have a three headed dog to train into a guard dog." Said Serena joining her.
