Percy Jackson's Adventures- The Arbiter (new quest).

Persephone and the Creepy Stalker- Hades

Gods, it was hot. You have no idea how it is for me to do this but my editor said "Hey, you're telling of the Greek gods and myths went really well! You should write some more!" Okay kids, please don't sue me or anything. Anyway, that should do for the copyright stuff.

First up, the story of Persephone and Hades:

It's basically a creepy story about a creepy dude who kidnapped a flower girl. One day, Persephone, whose the daughter of Zeus and Demeter (how they got together is pretty weird too) went flower picking with a bunch of nymphs.

"Don't go too far, Persephone! " said her mother.

"Don't go too far, Persephone! " said the nymphs.

Demeter is pretty much a tiger mom, minus the want-my-child-to-rule-world attitude. Really protective.

Why she left her daughter with nymphs who are horrible at self defense I have no idea. All I know is that someone was watching Persephone.

Mainly, her creepy Uncle Hades.

Now this is really weird. Apparently since marrying siblings is okay, so the ancient Greeks were like: "Oh, so then marrying my niece is okay too!"

At least Hades was like that.

And Zeus.

Now, in my experience, Hades is a cold person. Literally.

I think he's really misunderstood and lonely though.

But in no way does that give anyone the right to kidnap-and-run.

My girlfriend wants to remind me that it's hit-and-run, not kidnap-and-run.

Anyway，this is my story, Annabeth.

One of the perks of writing your own thing.

So Hades had a major crush on Persephone. Like major, major. So, because all girls (most girls, Annabeth says) like flowers, he got her flowers.

Clarification: He created some flowers.

So he was like:" Oohhh! I'm in love with my niece! I'm going to create a beautiful flower for her and when she wanders off I'm going to kidnap her in my glorious black war chariot!"

Totally not gonna creep her out, Hades.

Way to get a date.

No offense, Hades. I really don't wanna die. Or get sued for this.

Anyways, that's exactly what he did.

Persephone wandered away from the nymphs' flower party and started collecting flowers off the path. Then she wandered even more off the path. So far in fact, she couldn't see anyone else.

Hasn't she heard of Hansel and Gretel?
Anyways, the wicked wi- Hades stormed from under the earth and swiped Persephone into his war chariot.

Persephone screamed and suddenly they disappeared.

In the underworld, Persephone screamed. She made a fuss. She threw things. She refused to eat (wise decision) and threatened Hades (not a good idea).

Why was Hades so calm?
Maybe because he thought he could win her over.

Or maybe it's because Zeus, lord of the skies and Persephone gave him the go-ahead.
Wow, both these men are creepy. Apparently, Zeus was like :" Bro, I got you. I definitely understand heartbreak and how hard this is for you. So you know what? Go ahead!"

Hermes on the side was like:" What about Demeter?"

"Demeter? Whose that?"

So yeah.

When Demeter found her daughter missing, she was so panicked and crazy, she went all over the whole world to find her.

I heard that she vaporized the poor nymphs on the spot.

During that time, however, nothing on the Earth grew and people starved and died.

Typical Greek Gods- leave their jobs for love and be irresponsible.

Then finally, Helios felt bad for Demeter. Or he felt bad for those puny humans.

"Yo, Demeter. I know everything. I see it all. (All from my chick magnet). I saw Hades take Persephone away. Creepy dude. Kidnapping and stuff. "

Demeter was furious.

She stormed into Zeus's throne room and grabbed him by his ear.

"How dare you! You don't give a [beep] about our daughter but you give her off to some god without even consulting me! I want all custody rights!!!"

Poor Zeus.

Actually, more like poor Persephone.

In the Underworld, Persephone was still sulking. But at least she was making friends.

She and Hades had surprisingly gone okay.

But she was still cold and so was he.

Whatever.

So Zeus had nothing to do but send Hermes to take her from Hades and return her to Demeter.

I don't know how Persephone felt about being dragged around by random egous dudes but I heard that Demeter threatened Zeus with resigning.

Can't have the humans die. No more sacrifices for Zeus and his big ego.

So Hermes went to the underworld.

Hades was all :" Noooo! You can't take her away, we were getting along fine!"

"Sorry Uncle, but the big guy said so. Yo, Persephone, you ready to go?"

Persephone perked up, she was finally being rescued.

"Uncle, if you have any complaints feel free to bring it to court, or call 499-0875-0632. Lets go!"

On Mount Olympus, Demeter rushed forward to hug Persephone.

She swore never to let her precious daughter out of her sight again.

But then Hades came up:" Wait! She ate some pomegranate seeds! She gets to stay with me!"

"Is this true, Persephone?"

Persephone nodded, looking like a guilty puppy.

Zeus smiled. That decides it then: Demeter will have Persephone for six months, and Hades the rest. Now it's all settled and I've got to catch up on another episode of Stranger Things. "

And so it was like that.

Settled and down.

It's also why Demeter sulks and there's winter and fall. Yippee.

I heard that Demeter wanted to get a restraining order against Hades but was declined by Zeus. 

Now, on to the next story.
