Hades POV:

I have been summoned by my brother Zeus up at Olympus and he said it was mandatory for me to come.

I haven't been up in Olympus for at least 19 years. If you're asking why, let's say that my brothers and I don't get along well. Mostly Zeus.
My brother has tendency on trying to be controlling and whatever he says has to be done.

But once he summons me or any god, I have no choice but to go. Putting on my grey tunic under my black toga, I quickly put on my black throned crown. With a snap of my fingers, I instantly teleport to Olympus.

There, sitting in his golden throne with a gold crown on top of his head is Zeus. On his left was his queen, the goddess of marriage. Hera was sitting on a gold throne as well but hers were a few inches smaller than Zeus. Her golden crown was encrusted with lapis lazuli. Beautiful blue stones, containing crystals of golden pyrite. Her prized possession.

On Zeus's right was Hermes. Hermes had his white majestic wings out, as he wears a toga on his muscular body. He stands up straight as he looks forward. Trying his hardest not to give me a smile or do something ridiculous.

"Hades. I am glad that you came." Zeus say with a smile on his face.

"I have no choice when I'm summoned brother. What is it that you want from me? Please make it quick as well. I have so much to do down in the Underworld. " I tell him straight forward.

I look a Hermes and I swear I've seen a light smile on his face. Facing my brother, I can see his smile falters and an annoyed expression grown on to his face.

"Well I will make this quick. There will be a celebration-"

"I can't make it." I interrupt him before he could finish his sentence.

Hermes laughs and quickly covers it with a cough. Hera and Zeus looks at him with disgust.

Zeus looks back at me and this time with anger. "Brother this is not a request, this is an order. You must come to the celebration this Saturday. Everyone has to be here."

"What is so important?" I start to get irritated.

"Brother, Saturday marks the 50 thousandth year we defeated our father. This is a celebration for me, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Hestia and you. So it is a must to come." Zeus says in a demanding voice.

I roll my eyes. "I enjoy celebrating our father's downfall in the comfort of my realm. Watching our father suffer in Tartarus."

"As fun as that sounds from your end, you still have to come to the celebration. If I don't see you here Saturday, I will just easily teleport you here Hades. Goodbye brother." Zeus says to me with a wide smile on his face as he snaps his fingers. Easily teleporting me back to my Underworld without letting me say another word.

"I hate you Zeus!" I yell as loud as possible.

"Sibling love."

I turn around and I see Hermes with his back leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. Giving me a teasing smile.

I groan. "Great. You're here. Don't you have anybody else to annoy. You should've stayed with Zeus." I walk over to my throne and slump into it.

Hermes gets off the wall and walks towards me. "Don't be such a baby Hades. The party won't be so bad."

"I haven't been to a party up in Olympus for 19 years. I don't like mingling with gods and most importantly my brothers." I lay my head back as I close my eyes.

"I'll be there." Hermes elbows me playfully.

"Oh yes. As if I don't see you almost everyday." I say to sarcastically.
