What happened when...

Be a family again

... Hades forgave his brother

It was a normal day when a strange and wonderful thing happened between the gods. Between two, in fact. Two brothers (well... as they were all related to each other, it wasn't necessary to mention it) who were talking to each other.

Hestia had been right, the time when she came to see Hades in Storybrooke, there was changing.

Hades and Zeus were the two people that were talking.

Of what ? Well... of things, apparently.

Which were important.

Yeah, the talking between them was still something difficult.

But it was true, things were changing.

"Hello brother, finally said Hades to the other god.

Zeus nodded his head and smiled.

- You wanted to see me, right ? He answered.

- Exact. I think we need to talk."

Time passed since Hestia' visit to her brother, and Hades never stopped to think about what they talked about. That is to say what she said, the fact that they missed him, all of them did, and that they wanted to see him again.

Of course, there would always be a part of Hades that would hate his brother because of what happened between them.

What Zeus did, and then what Hades did.

How the war started between them, the reason of the beginning of their hatred.

Persephone's death. As an accident, in a fight against Titans who were trying to free themselves from their prisons, and be free again.

They defeated them again, of course, but there was a cost. Something terrible, and extremely painful to pay.

It was how the goddess, daughter of Demeter and Zeus, died this day.

And Hades' heart was broken. Love disappeared from his heart, replaced by hatred and...

And everyone knows what happened next.

But time passed, and now, things were different.

Because Hades was not alone any more, he had someone in his life.

A woman, a witch, who still had hatred in her heart, as he did. Someone as he was, or as he used to be.

Zelena, the love of his life, that helped him to cure himself from the pain of the loss of Persephone.

Thanks to her presence, he was getting better, becoming better.

He destroyed the darkness with the other after all, helped Gold to contain his own darkness before that. He wasn't a hero, but was surely becoming one.

That was the reason why he was there.

To say to his brother that things were over now.

"Why did you want to see me ? What did you want to tell me ?"

And Hades, the god of the Underworld, who finally decided not to try to get his revenge, just smiled to Zeus.

"I forgive you brother."

And Zeus smiled to him, said nothing, and just embraced him.

His brother just said what he waited to hear for years and centuries.

And he was happy.

Because after all, after all these years, they did it.

After the hatred, the anger, the dead and their wars, they finally did it.

After this almost non-ending war, they succeeded to do it, in the end.

They succeeded to be a family again.
