Imagine how you would feel to be eternally hungry and thirsty. Only to make things worse a delicate fruit tree dangles fresh, juicy fruit just out of reach and you stand upon an island just big enough for you to fit that is surrounded by the clearest freshest water imaginable. Yet, of course you are in Hades and boy the Gods of Olympus can hold a grudge for all of eternity and therefore you are stuck here on this wretched tiny island unable to eat, drink or touch the tantalising surroundings for you guessed it all of eternity. Quite the rude gesture considering that all I had tried to do was make them a sacrifice that I had deemed fit. Well I guess it wasn’t a proper gesture now that I think back upon it, but they have to take some of the blame. Oh, you must all be very, very confused and I wouldn’t doubt the fact that you think I am a psychopath sitting, or should I say standing here talking to apparently no one about what my life has come to. If you can even consider my life as it is a life.
Ha, if any of you even believed that that was what I did all day down here in Hades was wallow in my own misery you are all very, very wrong. I’m planning my revenge against the wretched people whom I may have at one point many centuries ago considered my friends. Had they not been such ungrateful, arrogant, yet very powerful people perhaps this tale would be different, although I have my doubts. Point being unless they’ve changed in the few centuries in which I was stuck in this disgusting filth of a place I doubt that they’re any less arrogant and self-centered and still living life like they own the place and not caring what others think. Seeing as how I seem to have gotten my ranting out of the way perhaps it’s time to welcome you all as I tell you the tale of how I plan to bring down the unworthy rulers of this world. Perhaps, the next time I see this place it will be to laugh at them while they sit here in my place drowning in their own misery as I was.
