The Silver Godchild

Part 6

I stand there awestruck for what seems like hours, but which was likely minutes since the boat had not yet brought more dead souls in when I decide to trudge off.  

I find myself before Cerberus his massive body towering above me like skyscraper.  Only this time he doesn't growl at me, nor  does he bark what he does is even more unimaginable.  He licks me with a giant slobbery tongue and rolls unto his belly giving me a toothy grin. 

I would have stayed there and play with him were my mood not now spiraling down like a bird shot in the wing.  Even though I had just met Hades it was like a shot through the heart to lose him so quickly, maybe that is why I continued to walk, the hope that it was too short a time to be over.

Brushing my hair with my enchanted brush thankfully gets rid of any sign of dog slobber, for it did not I knew I would not be seeking Hades anytime soon.  With my hair in flowing bouncy curls and now wearing a black corseted dress decorated with beaded lace I explore Hades' domain.

 As I walk I see mutilated corpses dragging themselves along, other times I see succubus chained to crosses burning in flame screaming for Hades.  They scream many things not many of them pleasant not many things friendly to virgin ears, and after I hear one offer her body to the handsome dark lord I slice her in half with Bloodthirster and walk on as she moans trying to pull her midsection back onto her legs.

I find Hades sitting on a throne made of Bones.  A tiger jumps from his lap and pounces on me.  I cut it down the middle so I see look at organs splayed perfectly down the corpse.  I watch as Hades licks the blood off his lip from the splatter my kill made. 

I take all my gifts and throw them unto the ground and run into his open arms.  I cry I'm not a killer, he just kisses my cheek and runs his fingers over my skin till I am comprised of goosebumps.  When I am calm and curled against his chest he whispers in my ear " I misjudged you Darlin' you are unlike the others they don't take rejection like you do they just scream.  They are maddening, while you make me want to be a better man, a better King.
