Eris: Daughter of Hades

The Underworld

"If there's one god who you don't want to get steamed up, it's Hades," Calliope warned.

"'Cause he had an evil plan," Terpsichore added.

In the Underworld, Hades is on a boat being rowed by Charon on the River Styx. Two souls lean up from the lake bed to grab Hades, who zaps them away with fire and blows the smoke off his finger like a pistol.

"He ran the Underworld but thought the dead were dull and uncouth. He was as mean as ruthless- And that's the gospel truth," Thalia sang.

A pair of skeletal gates open, and Cerberus' heads snarl and snap their jaws viciously. Hades throws them a piece of steak for the dogs to eat, which the dogs fight over as the boat continues its journey down the river.

"He had a plan to shake things up. And that's the gospel truth!"

Soon, Hades arrives at the dock, with a staircase leading to his lair.

"Pain!" Hades called.

"Coming, your most lugubriousness!" Pain said as he ran down the stairs. He trips and bounces on the stairs before landing his butt on a sharp trident, screaming.

"Panic!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Panic pants wildly as he runs down the stairs. "I can handle it!"

Panic runs, but he trips over Pain, who just got free from the trident, falls over, and his horns get stuck in Pain's butt. Pain screams while Hades rolls his eyes disgustedly.

"Pain! Oh!" Pain said as he stood up with a salute and turned to the side to show Panic and his horns stuck in Pain's butt.

"And Panic!" Panic said with a salute before he and Pain both said, "Reporting for duty!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Just let me know the instant the Fates arrive," Hades told his minions as he walked away. "In the meantime, I'm going to spend some time with my little girl."

Pain pulls Panic's horns out of his rump.

"Oh! They're here!" Panic delightedly informed Hades.

"And Eris is with them," Pain added.

"WHAT?! The Fates are here, and YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!" Hades burst into red flames with outrage.

"We are worms! Worthless worms!" Pain and Panic sobbed as they shapeshifted into works.

"Memo to me, memo to me: Maim you after my meeting," Hades said in a calmer tone to himself as his flames died down and returned to their blue color before heading up to his lair to meet with the Fates.

In Hades' lair, the Fates are preparing to cut a mortal's thread of life. Eris was in a black cradle near the Fates. Eris is the apple of her father's eye. The small amount of black hair on her little head had flowed like it was underwater and moved at the slightest movement. Her red eyes stood out with their yellow background, and her skin was gray. She wore a purple cloth nappy and had a dark purple blanket.

"Watch closely, Eris. One day we will teach you how to spin the threads. Darling, hold that mortal's thread of life good and tight," Atropos said before cutting the thread with scissors, and a woman's screams are heard.

"Incoming!" Clotho yelled.

The Fates laugh as a soul enters the cave and flies by into a tunnel. The counter above the tunnel now says, "Over 5000000001 served".

"Ladies!" Hades greeted the Fates with a smile before moving toward his baby daughter, "Hello, my little Princess," He cooed and returned his attention to the Fates. "Hah! I am so sorry that I'm—"
