"What are you doing here?"
I jump and stand on my feet immediately. The speaker, male, walks to me and I finally take shape in his figure. He's tall, very much strong, and has dark hair. He walks straight towards me. Hades, the dark Lord of the underworld. I gasp.
"Hades! Is this YOUR garden? I'm so sorry I-" he interrupts me.
"No, it's alright. I'd expect someone like you, the goddess of flowers and nature, to be here. Persephone."
My cheeks warm and I shyly look away. What's wrong with me? I barely hear a conversation about the dangers of Hades and I'm already shaking.
His smile is replaced with a frown. "You know, I could permanently banish you from my garden, if your so scared," he says calmly.
I shake my head and look back into his eyes. Those beautiful dark eyes. What's so bad about him? He's so... different. But a good different. He's handsome too.
"Would you like to see where I... stay?" He asks carefully.
I would say yes, but there's business between him and my father and Poseidon; the three powerful brothers.
"I would love to, but my Lord Zeus and Lord Poseidon have something to discuss with you."
Something in his face darkens. He smiles, it's fake, but buying. "My older brothers, eh? Tell you what, meet back here until it's over. I want to show you something." And with that, he disappears.

[HADES]
Poseidon gives me a noogie, holding my neck in his arm and laughing a mighty laugh.
"Stop it! Stop!" I yell. When did royal brothers get so careless and playful? Especially the ones that lead all.
"Alright little brother. Just this once. But remember that I'm older than you." Poseidon says finally letting go with a smile.
"I only came here for business. Nothing else."
"Very well," Zeus speaks up. "We- well I, have only one thong to say: stay away from Persephone."
