Hello my lovely readers. Meribella Sparrow coming to you with a brand new story. I will admit i am not that big of a fan of Descendants, however i can appreciate all the love (and some of the songs) that went into making them.

This idea came to me and i just had to get it on paper. Now i know the whole main character has a twin thing has been done in numerous stories in the past and i know this one will be no different.

However i plan to make it as different from the movie and other stories as possible. So without further aideu, please enjoy my story.

P.S. I do NOT own any of the characters in this story (except for my OC Ember Phoenix). All character rights belong strictly to Disney.

P.P.S. If my story is even remotely similar to another story/stories on this site. Please KINDLY and CALMLY let me know view p.m.ing me or leaving a review.

"What was I thinking? What was I thinking?!" A man said to himself as he paced back and forth in his lair, holding a light blue bundle in his arms. This man had dark blue hair that ended in light blue tips at the top. Giving his hair a 'Flaming' effect. He had blue eyes and pale peach colored skin. This man was non other than Hades, Greek god of death and ruler of the underworld.

"I don't know anything about raising a baby. Maybe i should just return you to Maleficent. She can't be too mad, right?" Hades asked himself as he stared down at the bundle, or more specifically, the baby inside the bundle. The baby inside the bundle had light peach colored skin, jet black curlish hair that ended in royal blue tips. However she had yet to open her eyes as she was just born hours ago.

Oh yes, Hades had been there for the birth of his daughters by his (soon to be ex) wife and dark fae, Maleficent. The first born was his daughter Maleficent Bertha and the baby he was holding (and stolen) was born 7 minutes later after her older sister. She hadn't even been given a name when he had stolen her.

"Yes, maybe you should return her." A female voice said, causing Hades in cringe in fear. He knew that voice all too well. He turned around and came face to face with a woman with peach colored skin that was almost tinted a light pinkish. She had long flowing blonde hair that ended near her hips. A long flowing toga like dress with a pink sash sliding across her stomach that was held up with pink flower clips. She wore pink feather earrings and in her hair, she wore a giant pink flower hair clip. But the most stunning thing about her were her dazzling pink eyes. This woman was none other than Persephone, Hades FIRST wife.

"Persephone, hey baby, how are you doing? Is it fall already? Or winter?" Hades asked before he was slapped across his face by Persephone. "I deserved that." Hades said before another slap across his other side of his face. "That too." He said to himself before he could see Persephone lifting one of her legs up. He knew excatly what she was thinking and thankfully moved out of her way.

"No no no, please not the boys. Besides you don't want me to drop my little bundle of joy now do you?" Hades asked in a teasing manner as he used a free arm to gestur to his daughter sleeping safetly and snuggly in her fathers arms. "Well start explaning yourself Hades!" Persephone said angrily.

And explained he did, he explained that as he was banished to the underground lair of the Isle of the Lost, he met Maleficent. They had hit it off and after a one night stand, Maleficent had gotten pregnant. He married her and they tried to make it work, however they only argued and fought. It had gotten worst as the pregnancy continued. Finally the broiling point hit the night before Maleficent went into labor. Hades had planned to steal the second child born as revenge to Maleficent for all the unhappiness she brought him. He was successful in his plan, however as he got home, he was able to think more clearly now and he could see how wrong he was.

"That's why I have to give her back, no matter how much i don't want to face Maleficent. But maybe she won't be as mad at me if i return her, right?" Hades said sadly as he looked down at his daughter. Seeing that her eyes were now open, he could see that she had his light blue eyes that almost glowed in the dark. He looked at her in awe but he was still sad.

"I'm so sorry little one." Hades said sadly which was mirrowed by the baby in his arms. The baby began to hiccup (clear signs of a wail coming). However when she hiccuped at Hades, a small ember of blue flames could be seen spitting out of her mouth. Hades looked shocked and so did Persephone.

"Hades, she has your powers." Persephone said in a shocked voice. "But that is impossible, everyone knows that magic and our powers don't work within the barrier surounding this cursed island." Hades said as he continued looking down at his daughter. 'I can't return you to Maleficent now. Who knows what she would do to you if she found out you have acess to my powers.' Hades thought to himself. Before he said the one thing he never thought he would say in a million years.

"Guess I'm gonna have to raise you. Persephone, do you still have Hera on speed dial." Hades asked, causing his wife to shake her head to focus herself. "Yes but Hades you can't be serious, I mean you know nothing about rasing a child." Persephone said.

"That is why you and Hera, the Goddess of Motherhood are gonna help me. Besides think of it as my pentence for trying to rule Olympus." Hades said with a sad smile as he contined to stare down at his daughter, who was equally staring up at her father. 'You're gonna need a name little one, hopefully something less narcistic then the name your mother chose for your older sister.' Hades thought to himself as he wracked his brain for names. Yet none of them seem to please him. He then thought back to his daughter hiccuping small embers of fire from her tiny mouth. "Ember...that shall be your name. Ember Phoenix." Hades said to his daughter who smiled a cute smile, clearly happy with the name as Hades was.

"Ember Phoenix? Are you serious?" Persephone asked with a dead panned tone of voice. "Come on, is it any worst then the name her older sister got. Which i remind you is Maleficent Bertha or Mal for short?" Hades said. Causing Persephone to sigh in defeat.

"I guess you do have a point, besides Ember is a cute name. A cute name for such a cute baby." Persephone said looking down at the sleeping baby.

Little did any of them know, that Ember would grow up to do mischevious yet amazing things for them.
