The Untold (Unedited)

All In

Hades POV
"I know you were listening Hades."

"If course you knew. Those big ears of yours could hear the people of the surface walk." I turn around in the office chair I had been sitting in and my brother stands proud and tall next to the door. I prop my feet up on his desk and just as fast as I could teleport he cane and swiped them off.

"So why are we having this conversation right now Hades? What's so important that we couldn't speak in front of your wife?" I give him a glare before I speak.

"My feelings for her are growing strong. I've been with her for not even ten hours yet I feel like I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It just doesn't make sense Zeus." I push up from my chair and begin my anxious pacing.

"It makes plenty sense dear brother." He sits in the desk chair I abandoned and folds his hands neatly on top of it.

"How? Persephone and I never fell in love this fast! It took me weeks to feel the way I feel towards Annika for Persephone."

"Im not going to keep saying this brother, but Persephone wasn't meant to be your Queen, Annika was." He says with so much simplicity it makes me angry.

"But she was brother. I don't know this Annika! I know Persephone! I know her favorite color! I know her favorite flower and her favorite spot to place flowers! I know every crevasse and corner of the world she's been in! Not only that I checked them for her! We were in love, and I can't just replace her with this Annika!" I yell. Anger spills from me and I feel frustrated and empty and lonely and uncomfortable and nothing feels right. It's all new to me, and I'm not ready.

"Brother you need to pull yourself together! Persephone has been gone for a thousand years! (A/N remember their Immortal Gods. They never die) you've been given a gift! A beautiful, young, and honorable woman! I know you heard those responses she gave me! And seriously brother if you don't cherish her I just might." I snap my head from the ground and to Zeus.

"What did you just say?" I feel the heat caress me and I know the color of my eyes have changed.

"See brother?" He asks me. I don't want to hear him though. I just want to tear him apart.

"You can't talk about her that way!" I say feeling horrible that my whore of a brother would even think that way about her.

"You wouldn't be acting this defensive for her if you didn't really like her. Fate is only giving you a little nudge in the right direction. And besides brother think about this. If Persephone was your queen why couldn't she see the dead like you?" He says leaning back in his chair. I thought about it for a second. My queen, whoever I was with, was supposed to be able to see the dead, so she could help me judge souls.

"You're an asshole." I grunt and I walk out of his office to go find a place to cool down. He could've used any other way to prove his point. ANY other way.

I go off towards the aquarium that Olympus has. Why is there an aquarium is in Olympus is the question, but the only reason I could give is Olympus grows with the mortals. We change our speech to match theirs, our clothes, our homes, just so we can understand them better.

Unlocking the door to my favorite part of the aquarium, the shark tank, I sit on the bench that rest in front of the seventeen feet tall glass tank.

While the sharks swim I notice I feel exactly as they do. I feel like I'm free, yet I'm trapped. I can't be freed from Persephone. She's my glass tank, even though that's the most corny shit ever. I don't understand how Zeus can sit in his chair and tell me to pull myself together. Persephone broke me, and I'm the kind of the dead. How can you break someone so grim? I don't understand what the fates have in store for me, but I don't want it. I want Persephone. My lovely woman. The one I love. We weren't married! That's why she wasn't able to gain my abilities!
