The Devil's Brother

Ch.15

Thanatos

I watched God and Zeus bicker back and forth about what to do with Hades. God wanted to banish him to Hell. Lock him up in an obsidian cage. Feed him once a week so he can't abuse his powers.

Zeus convinced him it wasn't a good idea because of how many allies Hades has between the Underworld and Hell. He would escape in days and we would be back to square one.

"What if we put him in a paralyzed state?" I attempted to speak up between the two men, but I was ignore.

"What on Earth do you want to do then, God? You ruled out everything I've suggested." Zeus threw his arms up in defeat.

"I have no clue! We get ask Hypnos to put Hades into a paralyzed state?" God brushed his fingers through his beard.

"Exactly what I just said!" I screeched.

"Thanatos, the adults are speaking." Zeus waved a hand of dismissal at me.

"Zeus, Im 100 years older then you. That doesn't apply." I stood and forced myself into their conversation.

"As I see it, We have two options."I looked from God to Zeus and back to God.

"We can paralyze Hades, or we can fake Kore's Death." I shuttered at the idea. She would be in hiding for years, until Hades finds a new bride.

"No, Those are shit options." Zeus shook his head and crossed his arms.

"What if we trained her? To use her powers?" God spoke slowly.

We had been silently waiting for God and Thanatos to return from their "special trip" for what seemed like hours. 

I let out a yawn and pulled my knees to my chest.

"Tired?" Paimon's smooth voice filled the den.

"A little. I wonder when they'll be back." I looked up at the clock. They had been gone for almost 6 hours. Special trip my ass.

"Sleep, I'll wake you when they get here." Paimon nudged me with his warm shoulder. 

I gave in sprawled out on the fluffy white sofa next to Paimon. He took my legs on his lap. Sleep came easily.

Hours later I heard fighting, I squeezed my eyes tightly, hoping it'd drown out the noise.

"You're fucking insane! He wants to marry her in a week, You realize that right?" Paimon sounded astonished by whatever they were talking about.

"She is smart and brave. Sh-"

"She is still a child! She hasn't even transitioned fully yet!" Paimon began yelling.

I felt warm hands lift my legs and sit them back down.

"Shes practically finished. She will be fine, Pai. We will have her back." Thanatos' lovely voice filled my ears.
