Daughter of Hades

Goddess of Resurrection (Goddess Anastasis)

When I awoke I recognized the room I was in, how could I not, I spent my entire childhood here. I never left this room, I never did anything, I never went anywhere. I was afraid of becoming like the other pathetic Gods and Goddesses that ruled the earthly and heavenly plains. I wasn't though, I could feel it in my soul, in the ichor that now ran through my veins, in my minds eye where so much information of our kind, of our ancestry had become stored in my mind.  I knew my power, what it could do, what I was now capable of. I let out a small laugh as I felt the power flit over my bronzed skin. I was darker, I was younger. I mean I'm only 16 in Goddess years, but I knew without checking a mirror, I looked younger. I walked into my bathroom and checked the mirror, smiling at the baby face that looked back at me. I would miss my old face, but Helena was dead. She had been killed by her grandfather and her uncle, while I was technically her, the girl they knew, the inexperienced child, she was gone. I heard arguments from outside of my door and walked out to see my mates, my parents and my older sister, all yelling at each other. I smiled to myself as I sat on my mothers throne and watched them.

"You just want to use her for you and your sisters benefit, Melinoe" Melinoe frowned at our mother as she went to step closer but was pushed back by Hades.

"I guess like mother, like daughter Persophone, get off your fucking high horse, you're no better than the rest of us, you pretend to love, you pretend to be good, when your heart is just as black, if not blacker than the God of the Underworld" My mother slapped my sister and I yawned growing tired of their antics.

"Yes, yes, yes, we have all gathered that I am the one to be used, for sex, for revenge, for murder, for hate, for greed, when does this shit get started, I am quite bored"Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

"Helena we didn't feel you come in" i looked down at my mother and smiled before unleashing a small bit of my power.

"Do you feel me now mother" their eyes widened as one of my mates, Herma ran over to me and placed her arms around my body.

"You have a new face, but I knew it was you, my darling, I've missed you, I was so scared when I saw your body, but I just knew in my heart of hearts you'd come back to us, my love" She moved to kiss my lips and I moved away slightly.

"You missed me Herma, Hercules traveled to the underworld to free his love, none of you got past yourselves enough to even make it to the gates, you cried, you even gathered all those body parts to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but the King of the Underworld, who took his sweet fucking time by the way,  was the only one who was able to rescue me, get the fuck off me" I said as I quickly got up, I still didn't feel, but I knew what I needed to get across. I trusted no one in this room, not anymore.

"Baby, what" I shook my head as I got off the seat and walked down to my mates. I gripped Cerberus face in my hands, letting my nails sink in, until blood began to drip. Anteros put his hands on me but I pushed him off roughly. I smirked in amusement when his back hit the wall hard and he fell on the ground unconscious.

"You are a creature of the underworld, made from and born from the ashes of Tartarus, you were meant to be my heart, to protect my fucking heart, and you failed me you pathetic mutt, just like my father said you three would, have you missed me so much you've abstained from sex, have you found the missing piece of me, or maybe, just maybe I should take something of yours" My hand moved with ease into Cerberus chest and he screamed in agony as I placed my hand over his heart. I could feel the beating of it, the smooth veins and arteries that surrounded it and for a moment, I felt pain, sadness, anger, betrayal.  I quickly let him go and he fell to the ground clutching his chest.

"You three are revoked from visiting me here, you may no longer come and go as you please, if you ever come back here again, I'll make sure you reside in whatever deepest pit I can find for you" Herma walked over to me and tried to touch me, she had tears leaking down her eyes.

"We couldn't go into Tartarus, we couldn't, we were trying to get your heart back, we were trying for you, we love you, you know that Helena, you know that we love you, we always .................." My hands went around her throat as I pushed images of the pain, of the loneliness, of how scared I was in that pit, by myself into her. She stared to scream but I pushed more of those emotions inside of her.

"I know nothing of how you or these pathetic creatures feel for me, you're love Gods, for all I know you could have cast a spell on me, either way when I needed you three the most, you weren't there" I felt a strong presence behind me and knew who it was, he recovered quickly. I turned my head towards Anterros and smiled.

"Hello my love God, going to destroy me for not returning your love, going to show me just how much Ares is inside you, do it, you pathetic bastard, put up a fight" I felt a shiver course through me as Anterros eyes turned black. He held an arrow in his hand meant to cause me pain, unimaginable sorrow, heartbreak,  too bad I didn't have one.

"You going to go first" he shook his head and frowned as the arrow went out, he tried to walk towards me but I stopped him.

"Please, doll, my beautiful Helena, we all shared something special, we all shared our love for each other, we're a family, you're not capable of hate, I know you" I couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous tirade, even if what he said was angering me. I'm not capable, I'd show him capable.

"You don't know what I'm capable of love, I could kill you and bring you back just to repeat the process over and over again, let me show you" I closed my eyes and swayed my hips as I conjured a poison and blew it at him. His skin began to bubble and his limbs began to fall apart.

"Anterros, no" I heard Herma scream loudly as she watched her brother disintegrate into dust.

"Helena, what have you done" I looked towards my mother and laughed hard.

"What have I done, she says, what have I done, well I'm doing what you created me to mother, killing Gods"

"Helena, this isn't you" Cerberus cried at me, tears slowly falling from his eyes as he looked at the dust pile that was once Anterros.

"No, Cerberus, this isn't Helena, Helena died, along with any fucking love she had for you three pathetic excuses of lovers, she needed you, I needed you, none of you protected me, none of you were there while he fucked me and ripped me apart, none of you were there as I screamed for help in the pit of Tartarus, I didn't have you then, I won't have you now" I blew into the dust and watched as Anterros body reformed, he had been resurrected, born again in a sense. I had done him a favor, he would no longer carry the scars his father, and his father's men gave him.  Cerberus and Herma ran over to Anterros and held him close.

"I don't ever want to see the three of you again" I closed my eyes and saw where I wanted them to go, when I opened my eyes they were gone.

"Helena, I did not create you to kill Gods" I rubbed my temples, my head was beginning to hurt, I'm using too much power.

"Stop calling me Helena, such a stupid name, what is that a play off of Hades or something, be serious woman, he didn't even want me" I said with a laugh as I sat on my father's throne this time.

"You know the last time I sat here, you threw me into Tartarus" I said staring into my fathers soulless blue eyes.

"I regret treating you the way I did Helena, Zeus said that........................" I screamed loudly and punched a hole into one of the skeleton heads releasing a soul.

"Stop fucking calling me Helena, my name is not Helena, you will call me Anastasis, I am the Goddess Anastasis, daughter of Persephone, Hades and Thanatos, Goddess of Resurrection, Poisons and Death, Keeper of the Veil, whatever the hell that is, either way call me Anastasis, Ana for short"

"So I may have failed to mention it, but because her turn into a Goddess was so violent, she may be a little crazy" My sister Melinoe explained and I just smiled.

"Where is my favorite Uncle Ares, I think it's time for a family reunion"
