Lady Grim: A Fantasy Short Story

Chapter 5: Trouble in Paradise

"Ah! It's our daughter's honeymoon!" Persephone squealed out as she continued to pack her bag.

"I know, I'm glad Zeus was able to lend us his cruise for the honeymoon." Hades added in.

"If it's my honeymoon then why are you two tagging along?" Clotho asked.

"Because we want to make sure that you two are going to prepare an heir while on y'all honeymoon." Persephone replied.

"Are they really going to watch Hubris and me fuck?" Clotho thought to herself. "That is so fucking disturbing!"

"Now, hurry up and pack your bags." Hades ordered. "Your uncle will not be kept waiting."

Clotho groaned as she went to go pack.

Clotho went into the bedroom, her and Hubris share, to see Hubris already packed and excited.

"Can't wait to be at a cruise filled with a lot of hot demon ladies wishing they were my wife." Hubris spoke in a singsong voice.

Clotho rolled her eyes as Hubris turned around.

"Ah, my lovely wife." Hubris greeted. "Are you ready for a night of loving by yours truly?"

"And by night of loving do you mean you getting off to yourself in the mirror?" Clotho remarked.

Hubris laughed as if Clotho told Underworld's funniest joke.

"Oh, such humor." Hubris sighed out. "Now my love, we shall make haste." Hubris declared as he grabbed his bags and walked out the room.

"Let's just get this shit over with." Clotho mumbled as she walked out the room.

Everyone rode into the stagecoach to the dock of the cruise, where Zeus was standing there with the biggest smile on his face. Clotho will admit, while she doesn't like the fact that she's here for a forced honeymoon, she was happy to see her loving uncle Zeus.

"There's my little niece!" Zeus greeted as he opened his arms wide.

Clotho ran into Zeus' arms while laughing.

"Uncle Zeus! Hi!" Clotho squeaked out.

"Now who's the lucky son of a Medusa?" Zeus asked.

"Hello dear uncle!" Hubris called out as he walked up to Zeus.

Zeus' smile disappeared once Hubris came into view.

"That's Lord Zeus to you." Zeus spoke in a cold tone, much to Clotho's amusement.

When Hades and Persephone appeared up, Hades and Zeus greeted each other.

"Hello brother." Hades greeted.

"Welcome to the cruise, brother." Zeus greeted back as he stood aside.

When they began to walk aboard, Zeus stopped Clotho.

"Out of all the demons, minotaurs, and centaurs, why him?" Zeus asked, whispering into Clotho's ear.

"Ask my dad." Clotho simply replied. "He arranged it with his friend."

Zeus sighed.

"I should've seen this coming." Zeus groaned out.

"How come you didn't come to the wedding?" Clotho asked.

"I...wasn't invited." Zeus replied.

Clotho's eyes grew wide.

"What!? But I made sure that you was on the invite list." Clotho pointed out.

Zeus chuckled.

"I know you wanted me to be there, regardless if this was an arranged marriage or not." Zeus sighed out. "I guess your parents didn't want me there because they knew I'd object to who you are getting married to."
