The Unbreakable Thread

Chapter 34: Portal

-Hades-

“This is not over. I will have my vengeance Aidoneus” He said confidently, his dark aura that carries together with his powers, wrapped in pain.

He slowly starts to trapped air in my body only watching me suffer endlessly. This is how powerful he can be. That not even I could defeat him.

“You should know better than to fight me Hades. But I'll let that slide. It's not very likely you're able to call yourself a hero” he balled his hands into a fist.

I dropped to hands and knees, my body couldn't take it any longer. I couldn't breathe. I feel like dying.

It's unusual for an immortal to die, but that's what it feels like. I don't have the strength to fight back. My energy is draining.

I'm getting weak.

“You wanna know how does death is like, wouldn't you? It's your immortal wish after the Goddess of Spring left you decades ago.”

I wanted to scream, I wanted to be able to get up and kill him right there, but my body is betraying me.

I couldn't understand why am I not able to escape from his control. I don't understand how he can manipulate my powers. He can't go for my emotions, so he couldn't control me fully.

“You know for yourself that you can defeat me Hades. You can overpower me. The question is, why can't you right now?” his words got me thinking. Just how much my father knows so much about me and my powers?

“You are me. And I am you. And I know, Persephone is no longer your priority. In that way, any involvement with her doesn't affect you now. You wanna know why?” he stated, sitting on the golden throne.

It was just then that I realized, we were in my kingdom. And he's sitting on my throne.

Every second that passed, I kept struggling even more. I'm starting to get furious, at times like this my powers should already be out, but I can't. Rather, my father doesn't want me to.

“She is not your weakness. And she never was. I know all about what you did Hades. And let me remind you about that.” He sneered, getting up from the throne, and trudging towards me.

He stopped in front of me, grabbing my face harshly as he ever could. His eyes show no fatherly love. After all, Cronus has never been a father to me or my siblings.

It pains me somehow to think that our father has no humanity. It was already destroyed by his hatred towards us.

“She is not the first woman you've been In-love with like you thought for the past thousands of years.” he let go of me, then proceeds with observing the paintings on the wall.

He stopped at one of the large portraits that hangs nearby the castle windows.

It was a portrait of me. The confidence I've got in there is no match for how I'm looking now. A weak God dropped to his knees and was unable to stand for himself.

“You look exactly like me son. Except, weaker” he mocks heading back to the throne.

“Stop calling me weak. I'm not weak!” I snarled fighting the energy that he was using to trap me in my place.

Somehow, the blue light casually died down. I'm trying to unwrap myself from the invisible rope-like that keeps on gripping my neck until I would ran out of breath.

“Oh. We'll see about that. Bring forth the girl”

Sounds of footsteps echoed in the hallway. Two guards wearing knight Suits appeared from behind him. That's where I saw her.
