Εωσφόρος: Two souls for one body

Chapter 06

Hades *thoughts*: I have to regain Athena. My one and only seek beside what I'm trying to be is to be with her, no matter how much I have to commit for.

Assyl: This is how Hades begins his trip to find Athena , at first it seemed impossible, but he was smart enough to guess where she could be..

Hades *inside thoughts*: Alright so here we are , at the Maharaja's palace , her favorite place.
[Hades enters the palace, and started to search fot Athena]
‎Hades: Damnit ! Where is she , I'm sure that she might be over here.. Unless.. Unless something bad happened to her.. I won't forgive myself if she gets harmed because of me

Assyl: Stressed, Hades went to the garden of the palace to think about where to go next, but as soon as he enters, he sees her there , taking a nap on the ground surrounded by those prestigious flowers. Hades decided to let her sleep , so all he did was to get some reste beside her.
When he finally woke up, he saw Athena sitting just next to him..

Hades: This is the best nap I took since a long time, how about you Athena ?

Athena: Pretty much, the weather is great today so it helps.

Hades: I'm sorry..

Athena: Do not, in your way here I heard about what you did for your people, I was wrong.. Let's just forget what happend  then.

Hades: I guess it's the best thing to do

Athena: What is your favourite color?

Hades: Color?

Athena: Shall I repeat the question?

Hades: Uhh.. Black.

Dark Hades: Black?! That's not my favourite color!

Hades: What is the point of this?

Athena: Must every conversation we have be so serious? I know so little about you.

Hades: Very well. What is your favourite food?

Athena: Why the pomegranate of course.

Hades: I do not like pomegranates.

Athena: What's wrong with you?

Hades: They are messy, impossible to eat with dignity. Too much work for a few seeds.

Athena: But is it not the effort that makes them that much sweeter?

Dark Hades: I think I'm going to be sick.

[They enter the hanging gardens.]

Athena: What is this place?

Hades: It is the heart of the hanging gardens. These are the instruments of life, regulating and running everything.

[They make their way through the gardens.]

Athena: What was he like? Your father.

Hades: He is a good man. No..a great man. Strong, loyal, kind and forgiving.

Athena: What is it?

Hades: I.. we did not part on the best of terms. It was many years ago. I was young and full of pride, full of fear as well. He offered to listen, but I could not find the word, would not find them. And I only hope that I might find him once more, to say that I am greatful.

Athena: That's sad to hear.. I'm sorry. I hope that the next time you see him, you'll find the right words.

Hades: Athena, I have something for you..

Athena: Uhh.. Let me see, what is it?!

POV Athena: The furthermore I read what is written on it , he more I feel the adrenaline going up inside me. A thin smile stretches his lips as his eyes detail me with a touch of mischief. My heart beats hard when I held this document in my hands, despite the danger there may be behind the intentions of Hades, I can not feel the real threat it represents, after all he saved me many times, is not it contradictory for a demon?
