"Well?" I said impatiently
"We cannot find her my Lord" the guard said respectfully
"What do you mean you cannot find her? She was with Hermes, where is she?" I asked, getting angrier and angrier as I thought about it.

"We do not know" another said
"Well find her!" I ordered, standing up
"Where are you going?" Gaia asked
"To look for her, get out there as well" I demanded
"She will not have gotten far Hades" she sighed.

Guards were around her at all times
I wanted her to feel comfortable but I also did not want to lose her.
No one knowing where she was... was not a good sign.

"Get everyone, now! I want Persephone found!" I demanded loudly.

~ Hermes ~

I cannot do it
I cannot do it to her
Why can I not do it?

"Well? I gave you a task Hermes, where is she?" Zeus asked
"I... returned her to Hades, I am sorry my lord, but I will not be a part of another kidnap on the young goddess, she does not deserve such decisions to be made for her" I said
"And you know what she deserves, boy?" He asked.

"I believe I do my Lord, she deserves to have a choice, I recommend you talk with her, ask her what she wishes to do" I said.

"Well thank you, thank you for your advice... messenger" he said condescendingly.

I bowed my head. He was not going to take me seriously. But she does
And she was right
If you love someone, you would let them go
You would let them return to hell and find comfort in another
In death
In a man that had never felt for anyone.

I felt lonely once again.
Stood shivering in the fields of hell and wondering how Hades was going to react.
Hermes robe draped over my shoulders to keep me warm but failing to do so
My hair was damp, dress soaked, shoes in hand and nerves a wreck as I approached the castle.

A maid caught sight of me first, eyes widening before she ran inside, the other maid with her stood in shock

"Where have you been?" She asked me quietly, looking back and forth between me and the door.

"I..." why was she so concerned?
I turned around at the sound of footsteps, guards were everywhere now, appearing from every corner and every door

I looked back to the maid, but it was not her gaze I was met with
It was Hades
With a fire in his eyes I had not seen yet
I had never seen him like... this
