The Underworld

"Theories say that the reason why Enanka was so powerful as to slay the old gods was because of the divinity within him, his father was terrifyingly powerful and that inherent power combined with dominion over the souls of the dead could've been it," Heca explained.

"We think that might be the same case for you; I wasn't sure before but after meeting you I can tell that there is a power more terrifying than Enanka which is dormant for now, it is unlikely that your father is a mere god but could very well be one of the old gods of this world."

Omorose and Heca left soon after our conversation and offering me asylum on their world if I ever needed to flee. I knew what they were getting into by doing that but they still chose to extend a helping hand. I had to sit down after all of that, the likelihood of my father being one of the old gods made sense as to why mum couldn't remember him and it would put me in a lot of danger if anyone found out. Except the gods themselves who had already been born from the titans, it was prohibited for anyone to bear children with them.

I could be hunted down. Thanatos, Hypnos and Ares were all gods but I knew that they would take this to their graves if they had to. Especially Ares; I didn't know what it was but whatever this feeling I got whenever he was near told me that he would give his life in exchange for mine if it ever came down to that.

What was it about him and Lucellion that pulled me in like a moth to a flame?

After everyone had processed the information it was time to go back down for my send off ceremony, I cringed at the image of Zeus looking at me with those eyes again but I guess for someone as promiscuous as he is, your brothers wife wouldn't be an exception. Gross.

"Remember kid, just say the word and I'll fly down there and drive his face into his precious marble floors," Ellis reminded me again, this time right in front of him but Hades just gave him a glance and cocked his head. I said my goodbyes as the portal opened, this was the real beginning.

On the other side of the gate was the entrance to a gorgeous castle that seemed to touch the sky. Servants lined both sides of us followed by knights and finally the members of court. A good number of the people here didn't even bother to hide their distaste. I had been warned that underworlders never took a liking to surfacers so I guess that applied to me too, who wasn't only a surfacer but also a foreigner.

Before I could even set foot on the first step a woman with a lithe body and cherry red hair came bursting through the castle doors shouting for Hades. "Well," he turned to me, "this is where we part ways, enjoy the castle." The red head jumped into his arms just in time for him to catch her, she wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him.

I felt my heart shatter, I mean I expected this. I knew he slept around but to humiliate me like this, in front of the entire castle before I even stepped through the doors; it gutted me. I stared at the pair as they walked inside, everyone did. 'School your features' I heard Ares say in my head and I let my face fall into a stone mask.

Ares, Hypnos, Thanatos and I walked into the castle completely unfazed by the earlier public display of affection but I was not unaware of the snickers from some of the maids and even the court members. I was led to the southern wing of the castle, furthest away from Hades who resided in the north wing. It came as a shock to everyone but me, I knew he faulted me for this arrangement and wanted me out of his vicinity as much as possible. That and I guess he and his mistresses wanted some privacy.

It was only when I was behind the safety of the walls of my room did the dam break. I mean what did I expect, that he would drop his bed warmers just because he got married? No but I at least expected some decency to keep it behind closed doors.

"Crying on your first night here? That's rough."

My head snapped up from my hands and I saw the same lady from one year ago. "How did you get in here?" She laughed, "sweet girl if I could enter your dreams not so long ago what makes you think the underworld would be off limits?"

"Okay then, who are you?" She smiled mischievously, "just a friend, a friend who had to send a beast from the depths of Tartarus to get you here but hey it worked out didn't it?"

My eyes widened and before I could scream at this lunatic she went up in smoke, literally.
