It was her eyes that Hades had noticed first.

Brown and wide with awe and admiration, she stared at him not with fear but with curiosity.

"I like your white hair," She said, her voice echoing through the dark hall of the Underworld.

Hades stared at her brown curly hair, his pale hands brushing it. "Would you like to have it as well?"

Her smile had brightened up the entire place."Yes,"

Leonidas woke up with a jolt, his head banging as he turned to avoid the sunlight burning his eyes before he presses his head more to his pillow.

This dream again...

They were always different dreams, but it was the same people.

The same girl with curly full hair and brown eyes that seemed to radiate power in a way that made Leonidas want to bow.

But Leonidas knew that he was not supposed to bow or even want to bow and that was where the problem really came from.

Sighing, he got out of his bed, a free hand moving to his bouncy dark brown locks over his youthful and pretty face that was a beauty for most people to behold, some even claiming that he was the reincarnation of Adonis himself.

Not something a son of Zeus should be, all things considered, but Leonidas could not change his appearance and so let the name be.

His cat, Kleopatra, was sitting at the window, her white fur ever so clean and pure that as Leonidas reached out to touch her and she purred, cradling his hand, the sounds of the birds chirping outside and the morning breeze going over them both, he could not help but close his eyes and relax.

Yet, her brown eyes flashed again as he heard the knock on his door, causing him to sigh and say to the cat. "One must never hope for a little bit of peace now can we?"

She said nothing, her blue eyes twinkling up at him.

Smiling, Leonidas raised her into his arms, cradling her as he would an infant and the little thing purred more before the knock on the door came again.

"Come in."

He was patting her head, a need to sing for the tiny thing came to his mind but he fought the urge as his Caretaker came in, head bowed. "Good morning, my Lord."

Leonidas paid no heed to him as he raised his cat, staring underneath her. "Do you think Kleo can have children?"

"Yes."

Then he turned to the male, a curious look on his face. "Then why is she still without a mate?"

The Caretaker, a man of Ares familia making him though under Leonidas, more of a teacher and head servant to the slaves of the Zeus Familia. "She is the only breed of her kind. Mating between her and another would not be suitable."

Leonidas stared at him a while before turning to his cat that was staring at him still with love in his eyes.

You as well do not have a mate Kleopatra. I wonder if we are destined to be lonely till eternity.

"My Lord, I came to tell you that your bath is ready."

Smiling, Leonidas kissed her fur before letting her down, the white petit thing jumping to his bed and curling on it before he turned to the man and said, "I shall be on my way then."

The man bowed silently and walked away.

Minutes later, Leonidas was seated in a bath, steam coming out of it with mirrors surrounding him.
