The Silver Godchild

Part 4

     "Honey we need to talk", my Mother tells me as she, my father and I sit down on a coach out of the way where the other gods can't hear.  "What is wrong?", I ask them, my father clears his throat and says "  Darlin' your mother and I were talking and we think we need to limit you before you ruin your life, because you don't need to make the same mistakes as us.

     Before I can ask what he means Mom says " You aren't allowed to date anyone on Mount Olympus and you won't be going back with the demigods, so you don't become like us and have affairs and give yourself to man you might not marry.   "Can I have a human?" I ask.  Father then answers " Of course Darlin' for he won't be a demigod putting you in danger and he won't be a god from Mount Olympus, so you can have a human, for anyone who does not come to Olympus is fine with me.

      With that I say I am tired, I go to a room in the temple and fake going to sleep.  I have found my way out of the net my parent put over the dating pool; I chuckle to myself can't help it I want to have a god for a boyfriend it is on my DNA.

      I sneak out when all the gods have left for their own beds.  I jump down on clouds to get to the ground, and then I discover they will lazily circle downward like a hover board low on gas.  I step down onto the street of New York and head on my journey to Los Angles the home of the underworld and the domain of Hades.  

       Turns out now that I am claimed I can see monsters and they can see me, the upside is I am on a Pegasus flying toward Hades instead of walking...hopefully there are no sky beast that snacks on flying horses.

      I fell asleep on the horse, but now my necklace from Poseidon is glowing, I think it is because as a horse-like creature he has power over Pegasuses.  It stops glowing after the Pegasus sends me down a tunnel into the ground.  I must be at the entrance to the Underworld; I wonder what Hades will think seeing me, maybe he will be glad for I came while Persephone is with her mother Demeter.

      I walk into the tunnel to find a line of dead, I wait for twenty minutes before I am allowed on the boat to get to the land of the dead.  I hang my head low so the boat master will not look at me, and I get across without trouble.  I follow the dead, as my only chance to find Hades; ...I wonder if Hades is ugly or handsome for I have heard stories of both as I walk along a well trodden path.  Then Hades' pet the three headed dog finds me and now I am against a wall; it is barking and I see a shadow approaching me. 

      "Cerberus down boy, let me see what you have caught!", I hear a beautiful, charming voice say.  As he comes close I see he has grey eyes cold and calculating as they look at me; long flowing black hair rolling down his back as it flows with the wind he makes as he strolls up to me; and the last thing I note but let me eyes stray on the most is his unbuttoned shirt revealing his toned muscled body.  He raises an eyebrow at me and says in a clam tone " Who may you be young miss and what are you doing uninvited in my domain."

      I answer him the calmest I can, I am Lunaya the Goddess of Weaponry and Grace daughter of Artemis and Ares and I came uninvited for I am newly claimed after living with a human who was tricked into thinking he was my father and I thought we needed to meet for I have met most of the other major gods.

        "Is Lunaya your true name?", he asks.  "yes", I say.   "I will call you Luna then", he replies with a smile.   "We will get to know each other quite well won't we dear Luna, for you should know after setting foot here you are my subject, and I am allowed to keep you here forever.", he says as his smile turns into a devilish smirk.

     The worst is over I think besides be trapped here all has went well and without a doubt I am thoroughly attracted to him.   Which I am sure he has picked up on as he takes his arm and snakes it around my waist as we walk to a temple with black curtain drawn shut.  As I enter I see a roaring fire in front of a plush black leather couch across from a king size bed and a mahogany dresser.  He takes me to the coach and as I start to look him over once more he starts doing the same to me.   I sigh and say "my parents have forbid me to date the gods of Mount Olympus or demigods, but you fit neither of these categories."   He smiles and kisses my hand and replies "Darlin' Luna you have come to the right place.
