Never Ending Love (a Nalu Fanfiction)

Chapter 12. Leto's Soul

She broke the hug and tilted her head to fix her gaze into him, "Then take this", Zeus said taking out a small glass jar with a red liquid inside, "I called it Blood Tear, I originally created it to give Leto eternal youth and immortality, but it can also be used to regenerate any kind damage on a being, I also tried to revive Leto with it, but his soul was already scattered, Hades, if ever my soul is beyond salvation, and I manage to revive him, please make him drink this, besides eternal life, albeit is not tested yet, there is a huge chance that he can remember me with this, our memories together. I also want to give you these Dark Keys, so you can communicate with our friends".

Hades took the keys, then the bottle and looked at her concerned, "¿What did it take you to do this elixir? Just by seeing it I can know that it is not something simple, and it has your scent, Strawberry and Vanilla".

Zeus sighed, "You are right, it wasn't a simple thing, it is necessary to take blood from the heart, but not in any state the person must be awake since the blood must be warm and fresh, that makes the extraction process very painful. Once you draw the blood, you must refine it with Ethernano and nurse it in your own primordial spirit, your heart. And in relation to the reason why it has my scent, it's because... It's my blood".

He giggled, "¡You never cease to amaze me! Although it hurts me to know that you suffered for it, I promise that when the time comes, I will give it to him. Now, lets get to Elysium". They walked until they reached a large stone frame with magnificent carvings, in the middle, a golden door with luxurious ornaments.

Hades opened the huge door, the panorama was incredible, what any being would call a dream place. Large green meadows adorned with flowers of thousands of colors, crystal clear streams and waterfalls that looked like curtains that fell into the sky and disappeared before touching the ground. Women, men, children playing and happy. All that was breathed was happiness. Two guards stopped us, "¿What are you doing here?", one of them asked.

Hades stepped forward, "We are looking for The Father of All. The guards looked at each other, and took Hades, Zeus and The Underworld judges with The Father of all".

They came to a big room with a white throne that had golden details on it. A person was standing in front of them, looking towards the throne, he was a being far superior to them and they recognized him as such. Elysium had its own rules, Hades had warned Zeus about the manners and etiquette before entering, he and the judges knelt down, "¡Father of All, thanks for receiving us!". Hades squinted at Zeus and noticed she didn't kneel, ¿Why wasn't she following the manners?

She walked towards him, she extended her arms putting her right palm on top of the back of her left hand, then she slightly bowed in front of him looking at the ground, "Father of All, Chronos". Her voice quivered after she pronounced his name.

He turned around, he looked disconcerted, he approached her and slapped her on her right cheek and she fell to the ground, she didn't dare to look at him, she just placed her hand on her swollen cheek, "¡Stupid brat! ¿Why did you disappear? ¿Do you know how much I looked for you?", he growled.

They were all stumped, they didn't know what was happening, only Chronos' offspring can call him by his name.

While Zeus was still laying on the ground Chronos went and took her by the elbows lifting her up. "¡Stupid brat!", he repeated but this time softening his voice. "The pain is visible in your eyes ¿What happened to you, my daughter?".

Hades and the judges gasped, they swallowed roughly, a princess, daughter of the former ruler of the stars, was with them all the time, but they didn't know until now.
