Pain Is My Love Language

Deities of the Underworld

Alexander: 

I saw Alucard start shaking, and Cerberus bowed on bent knee. The man shifted from old armor into a custom black suit, his shirt and vest were maroon, his hair was long, needle pin straight, and blacker than even Alucard's, skin white like the dead, and eyes the color of liquid gold. His gaze made me petrified and whoever this man was, I knew he could kill me with the snap of his fingers, so it would be best to be on his good side. 

" My Lord, why have you come to earth from the Underworld?" 

" How is the progress on capturing our little escapee?" 

" Not going to lie, My Lord, she has proven difficult, and has lain claim to a human soul." 

" Really? And what human has she deemed worthy of rotting in her cage for eternity with her?" 

Cerberus pointed at me, and his golden gaze locked onto me. He walked with the gait of a king, and I felt small from under his scrutiny.

" Do you know who I am mortal?" 

" I-I'm afraid I don't, sir." 

" You humans really have lost your way if you don't recognize the Greek God of the Underworld. I am Hades, child." 

His eyes were ensnaring, and they made me feel so much fear. The air smelled rotten, like a corpse pile. 

" Hades, leave the poor boy alone, I swear, I leave you alone for five minutes, you are tormenting a poor mortal! Leave him be!" 

The air took a warmth to it, and the scent of flowers and a freshly mowed lawn filled the hallway. A woman of magnificent beauty appeared as suddenly as Hades had. Her skin was a soft pastel pink, her hair was a shade of pale blonde that made you think of spring, her dress was goldenrod gold and black, and her eyes were a beautiful lilac purple. 

" Persephone, love, please go back to Olympus. Demeter will be missing you." 

" My mother said to come deal with you, and so I am. Caedis has tainted this poor boy and you are condemning him instead of saving him? Shame on you. What is your name, young man?" 

" A-Alexander Anders-son, Ma'am." 

" Like the great warrior of old, no wonder she chose you. You may call me Persephone, and I am the Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. Now, Cerberus, tell me everything that has happened so far?" 

Cerberus filled in the two deities as to the current predicament, and both of them shook their heads. 

" Young man, I can understand your decent into madness. Many call me crazy for marrying the God of the Underworld, given he kidnapped me thanks to Aphrodite being a jealous wench, but it is mutual in our affections, where as I don't believe Caedis is capable of love. Although once human and cursed by Typhon, she was a innocent girl driven mad by forces outside her control. Her mind is permanently warped. Only an act of Zeus could save her, and he's on Olympus drinking himself into a stupor for the fourth time today alone. Let Hades and myself deal with this. Cerberus, you are to keep these two boys as far from her as you can, understand?" 

" Yes, Your Majesty."

" That's a good boy. Come dear, we have a little hellion to collect." 

" Yes, love." 

They blinked away as fast as they had appeared, and I was left with questions. Alucard looked scared and beyond upset and terrified.

" You alright?" 

" No, my skin burns and I need to go wash off the divinity on me before I am completely useless for the rest of my exsistance." 

" You were affected by them even though you held no belief?" 

" Don't you know the legend of the first vampire ever? She was Greek. I was her fledgling until she died from age, naming me her successor. Lamia was hiding in the Carpathian mountains in my day, and saw how I fought, making me her first ever creation."

" Lamia was a daughter of Zeus. Makes sense in having Lord and Lady around made you feel like this." 

" Wait, I thought a Lamia was half woman, half snake?" 

" Yes, but she also was a child eater, so you can imagine how well she fed in the time of war ridden Romania. Alucard, you are going to go rest and eat. And you, you pathetic fucking human, are going to say with me. Last thing we need is you trying to be even more stupid." 

Cerberus started cursing in what I could safely assume to be Greek, and left with the cursed priest, while I went to the kitchens grabbed a blood bag, and went to my coffin, drinking the pouch dry, then throwing it out before closing the lid to my coffin, sleep not being evasive this night, and was I glad for it be so prominent.
