A Day In The Lives Of The Olympians

DAY 1- HADES

Waiting at the secret entrance to the underworld. Dark mist is flowing in all directions, bringing with it a deep chill. There is dead silence everywhere. A strong feeling of despair and misery clenches our souls. The cave we were told to come to, crumbling. Beyond it's iron gates the darkness daring you to come closer. All of us hurdled together, wanting to turn back.

No I'm just kidding. The place we were told to come to was a park alongside the Acheron river in Thesprotia. It was early daylight and the park was bustling with a happy crowd. There were beautiful springs and greenery all around. People were walking alongside the river. Some getting their feet wet and holding their shoes, others bathing in the river. There were cute little cafes warm and welcoming. I wondered if Hades and Persephone came here for little picnics sometimes.

Dan : How do we get in?

Me : Hecate only said to come here, Dan the camera man. She didn't say anything else, Dan the camera man.

Dan : Who is she again?

Me : She's like the right hand man of Hades and Persephone....

Dan : Please don't say it

Me : Dan the camera man

Dan : Come on dude

The first day of my show, I was beyond belief that the Gods actually agreed to do this. They never say no to publicity, do they? They may bicker but they always stand strong together. Also they're crazy and super fun to be around.

While I was lost in thought, my crew was getting restless.

Dan : Should we call Hades?

Me : I was just about to, Dan the camera man.

Dan : I'm Dan! Just Dan.

Me : Ok, Just Dan.

Dan : No it's—

Me : Shush, I'm on a call Just Dan.

Me : (on the phone) Hey Hades

Hades :

Me: Hades?

Hades :

Me : I think you're on mute

Hades : CAN U HEAR ME?

Me : Jesus!

Hades : Ugh the new guy. He's gotten to you too.

Me : Um...

Hades : Yeah?

Me : Not really

Hades : Sure.

Me : So when, oh when is Hecate coming to get us?

Hades : I really don't know. You see Hecate believes in arriving late. She says and I quote 'that's how the fashionable crowd lives'.

Me : Ugh god help us

Hades : I wish I could but I really can't.

Me : What? No I wasn't, I wasn't talking to you.

Hades : Who else is around? *gasps* Are you with Jesus?

Me : No I'm not. It's just an expression.

Hades : As if! Hold on. Persephone sweetie, is there an expression called god help us? There is? Really? Ok. No nothings wrong sweetie. Yes i still want my pancakes.

Hades : *clears throat* Alright but i still got my eye on you.

After another hour of waiting, we saw a lady walking towards us. She was dressed up like one of those tarot readers with their scarves tied around their heads, covered with jewellery in the shape of stars and moons and long robes.
