Devil's Witch

Chapter 4: Hades New Plan

The next night, Hades summoned Myrrhine and the Imps to inform them of the new plan. He sat on his throne, the Witch leaning against it while the two imps were down.

"I have a great Scheme" he informed with a grin. "Hercules has been put in charge of the sun. We steal the sun from the kid, make him look bad, make Zeus look worse...ensuring that he has...*moves hand in circles trying to think of the world* no-confidence vote by the next meeting and Bada-Bing! Zeus gets dumped and I take his place. Isn't this brilliant? Come on! It's brilliant!"

He looked at the Imps, who barely paid any attention. Pain was busy trying to make fart noises with his hand under his armpit while Panic watched. Suddenly, they stopped, and they looked at their boss.

"Were you talking to us?" Pain asked.

Myrrhine immediately backed off the throne, knowing what was coming next as a second later, half of Hades was engulfed by orange flames. Only his eyes and sharp white teeth could be seen, giving a frightening image to the two minions.

He managed to calm down, but his hair flames still stayed a bright orange as he leaned to their height. "Just still the sun from Hercules! You think you can do that for me? Don't worry, Myrrhine will help".

"I will what?" she asked, stepping forward as Hades leaned back on his chair.

"You heard me, babe. You will help them steal the sun or be more precise, you will ensure Hercules messes it up so they can still the sun" The girl blinked, wondering how she could do that. She then looked at the minions who were unsure as well.

I mean, he was talking about the godamn sun. The giant sphere of melting hot...stuff that could melt you if you touched it. Now, she actually wondered about the IQ of the gods since they were the ones to put Hercules, Hercules, responsible for such a task.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Up to the sky already" Hades said, snapping all 3 of them from their own thoughts.

Suddenly, the faces of the Imps changed to that of happiness. "Does that mean...?" Pain asked.

"Yes.... *sigh* You can take the Harpies".

The duo grabbed hands and started to spin while jumping, singing from joy which made the young Witch cringe because of their very off tone, true torture to someone who enjoyed good music as much as she did.

Hades just leaned on the side of his throne, watching them dance away happily. Myrrhine was about to follow when his fingers wrapped themselves around her wrist.

What was with people and grabbing her wrist?

She stopped and was quickly pulled back, ending up losing her balance and falling on Hade's laps. She cleared her throat, feeling instantly uncomfortable at the position. Yet, the lord of the underworld didn't seem to mind.

"What is it?"

"I forgot to congratulate you on the great news. Wouldn't be aware of Zeus plan if it weren't for you and your spy skills," he grabbed a cheek and started to pinch it, but she slapped his hand away.

"What am I, some sort of baby?" she asked, rubbing the sore spot while the man looked intrigued.

"Oh, did I hurt your feeling?" he grinned, bringing his face closer to her, making her blush.

She simply turned her body and jumped off his laps, wanting to be at a fair distance from him. "Yes and right now I will go and cry. I am not the imps you know" she said, hand on her waist.

Hades enjoyed watching her click, seeing the different phases she passed through. She could be sassy and speak back, be a total pain or fully obedient. It was funny how she immediately reacted whenever he came into her private space.
