《Minecraft Player reborn as a God》 Chapter 1 The Void Chapter 1 The Void "Huh, where am I," said a glowing orb in space floating in nothingness. "Wtf where''s my body and who am I. What''s my name why can''t I remember my name." ''Ok let''s try to recollect what was Ist doing. I was ying Minecraft when a crack red crack formed in my room and sucked me in. That totally makes sense this is a dream a weird dream, but a dream that I will wake up from.'' Hours passed to days and soon the orb started to forget his family and friends. Then his home and started to be forgotten. What the nameless orb didn''t know is that the more time passes in the void the more you forget and the more important a memory is the memory is forgotten. This void was once an underworld for a long lost world designed to cleanse and reincarnate souls. This ce has long since lost its purpose and its very existence is started to fade causing residual energy to leak out. The residual emery of the void formed a crack in the unlikely of ces sucking in the most unlikely of souls. Soon the orb realized what was going on and that he was forgetting things he could have sworn he remembered. With this knowledge, he did what an average person would do. He freaked out and started to panic trying to remember what he was forgetting. What he didn''t realize was as the void did not have an overseer or god to govern the void and with there being no one else but him; by trying to recollect his memories he was absorbing the energy of the void strengthening his soul and allowing him to no longer forget. Unfortunately, what memories he lost were truly lost and what he had was memories were what was less important to him such as video games, history, math, etc. The orb felt stronger and was no longer forgetting his memories, but he still tried to recollect what was lost. Time was different in the void sat days felt like seconds and seconds like days. As time past hours turned into days, days turned to months, months to years, years to centuries, centuries to who knows how long. The orb held onto his current memories for that is what he had and anytime he tried not to he would start losing them. Thissted for so long that the orb was able to absorb the entirety of the energy in the void. Then a sh the cycle of reincarnation has no energy to spend on making him forget fulfilling its purpose and went onto the next step of the cycle. The purer the soul the more energy it will be provided by the god ruling the underworld, but what would happen if there was no god and no one to regte how much energy a soul could have? What would happen if a soul absorbed an entire realms worth of energy? Orb POV Somehow I opened my eyes and what I saw a beautiful woman crying and trying to prevent him from being eaten. She was yelling something I couldn''t make out what, but what I could sound like "Please my king don''t do this, don''t eat our firstborn son" Chapter 2 The Stomach Chapter 2 The Stomach New God POV ''Well I''m fucked'' was the only thought I had as I was in this woman''s arms. The woman said, "Hades is just a been born first Hestia now him, will all my children be devoured by you." ''Well, my name is Hades, like that makes total sense like the god Hades ruler of something or the other.'' What gigantic ugly man said next surprised me. "He has more power than a primordial, he shall be the one the prophecy states will overthrow me, and as king you shall obey and give me him." As Kronos said this he grabs me and eats me in one bite. Kronos POV Rhea is giving birth to another child. I will not have my rule threatened no matter what. When she birthed me the boy I felt power from him the likes I have not seen since my father Ouranos. And that is a troubling thought I must have him now. As Iy eyes on him I see intelligence in those eyes I cannot allow his existence. "He has more power than a primordial, he shall be the one the prophecy states will overthrow me, and as king you shall obey and give me him." As I eat him and feel him in my stomach I feel intense pain not like when I ate my daughter. It felt like my power was waning like each passing second I was losing power. A month passed, I felt weak like I was bing mortal. Is this the prophecy was this how I would be defeated. I summoned Prometheus and demanded his sight of the future. He told me myst child shall be the one to cut me into pieces as I did with my father. And Rhea was once again pregnant and my pain subsided. I do not know what happened to the pain, but it means he is not the one of prophecy. Hades POV Well, everything is ck yay. As I was being swallowed somehow I felt invigorated with power and grew to an adult. I hope Father chokes on me that bitch. As I hit liquid I can''t help but think this is stomach acid, but instead of burning me, it was giving me power. This was interesting, so very interesting I felt the more I was in the acid the more energy I felt. Then I noticed something I saw a flicker of light. I had to swim to it and the closer I got I heard soft whimpers in the distance. I started to swim faster and faster as I felt more and more invigorated by this acid. Then I came across a little girl on the edge of the stomach on like a tform. There I saw a girl holding a me and crying. Time to pull off a Ben Kenobi. If only I had Jedi robes. "Why, hello there," I said. The girl was startled and looked a little panicked and jumped looking for a ce to hide. I was wondering who this is until it really hit me this was my sister Hestia. I tried to remember history, but wasing up ck then I remembered from the Percy Jackson books I read and realized I was Hades god and ruler of the Underworld, Lord of the dead, the rich one. I was the son of Kronos, king of the titans. Hestia POV It''s so lonely. Why does father and mother hate me? I remember gardening with mother when father came with Prometheus to our garden. All I rememberers mother and father shouting at each out and then father swallowed me. I fell into acid it was so painful. I found the edge of his stomach and tried to tunnel my way out. I only got so far to make a tform after a couple of decades. With his stomach healing at a faster rate then I could tunnel it was hopeless I could cauterize the tunnel I created, but I could go no further. After decades of being so lonely, I just cried. I forgot how much time passed. Then out of nowhere, I heard someone say "Why, hello there" I turned around and found a man I did not know I tried to hide, but there was no cover. He just stared at me with interest and then at my me. It was like he was thinking deeply the. He said, "Huh, guess that means your my sister Hestia." I have a brother I guess father ate him too. I won''t be lonely anymore. And over the week I began to teach him about the world and the titans and domains while getting to know him. He had a carefree attitude and was kind to me. He was so funny making jokes like I was the little sister even if I was older. He said it was a matter of height, not age. Which made no sense, but the arguments were funny. To pass the time I showed him how to feel for his domain after he asked and how to control its power. He was able to use fire which really surprised me and made me happy that I could share fore with someone. Over the next weeks, I showed him how to feel it and control it. He then somehow had another power and it was over space and time. I do not know how that works, but he said it may help us escape. I did not want to get my hopes up and tried to help him master it as fast as I could. After a couple of months, something happened he opened up a portal. It was pure ck while having a purple haze around it. He said to jump in and this was our means to escape. We did not know what where it leads, but anywhere is better than in our father''s stomach. Hades POV Well, I am now Hades and I have a little sister I have to embrace the role of being a brother. Was I a brother before I try to think, but sadly I cannot remember. It''s sad, but I cannot dwell on the past I must move forward and I have a little sister to watch out for. Over the weeks we joked and I tried my best to cheer her up. It looked like it was working. As time passed I asked her about the history of the world and who ruled it. I asked about her powers and how to control mine. She was so happy that I had the fire, but was more surprised when I had the domain of space and time which is awesome as I was thinking of making aher portal or something to escape. Over the months I finally was able to make a portal, it looked like a mix between the end and aher portal, but it would have to do. Once I was able to make a portal big enough we jumped into it. I looked around us it looked like we were in across theher and the end dimension. My sister told me we were in the underworld because she could see its entrance which was a major hole in the distance. My only thought was how this was going to be my no home and how much I want to build here. I want to build a mansion, no a tree a world tree. No a gigantic space station. I want to build a garden, no a library like the world has never seen. I could not decide, but I power and the desire to build like no tomorrow. The possibilities are endless and from what I feel this dimension was ever-expanding and with it my desire to build. My favourite video game was Minecraft and now I had my tform, privacy, and power to do what I want. I can''t wait to begin my adventure. General POV What Kronos did not know was in the void. The once orb by continuously absorbed energy gained in the void now absorbs energy without him realizing it. By swallowing Hades, he unknowingly gave his son the opportunity no Titan or god has ever done before. He had given the ability to absorb domains. Allowing him to obtain the ability to control time and the means to escape with his sister. Chapter 3 The Underworld Chapter 3 The Underworld Hades POV "Well, at least we are not surrounded by stomach acid." I noticed that the Underworld was literally t like a nk canvas ready to be painted. I also noticed I smelled really bad and I mean really bad and I was naked and Hesita was not. How long have I been naked and why isn''t she naked? "Is there anywhere to find a bath here?" I asked Hestia. "If we were to find Erebus and Nyx we could ask them for asylum as they are the only ones to currently living in the Underworld besides Tartarus as most stay away because of them. Kronos fears his rule would be in jeopardy if he would be in conflict with a primordial, but the primordial fear him as well because of his scythe which is the only weapon that is powerful enough to harm them as it was imbued with the power of Gaia. We also may find a bath with them, brother" Hestia exins. So politics is bullshit and there is basically a cold war between the Underworld and the Overworld that''s just great. So if we meet with Erebus and Nyx we would also be seen as assets for them. "Oh well let''s meet them and see them and lets finally have a bath and some clothes." Hades "Why don''t you make some clothes with your divine power when you learned how to make food. I always thought it was a personal thing" Hestia "Why would it be a personal thing you just showed me how to use my domain not how to make things with my divine power. And you thought it was a personal thing I was born the day I met you how would it be a personal thing." The void must have really messed me up if I forgot about clothes. "Well, I was wearing clothes and assumed that you would wear some too and ask me about it. I don''t know any better since I am the little sister." Hestia She pulled the little sister card on me, and now I have noeback. I better make some clothes then. I guess I''ll make a basis white polo, jeans, and sneakers and I put them on. "So you agree that you are my little sister then huh" Hades "Only when it is convienent" Hestia "Fufufufu you two are funny, but who are you and why are you here?" The Lady of Mystery Behind us appeared a beautiful woman who was covered in darkness and shadows. She honesly looked like H from the MCU. "Lady Nyx we are here to seek asylum, I and my brother are children of Kronos. I am Hestia and this is Hades. We have just escaped Kronos''s stomach and wish to live in the Underworld" Hestia "Can we ask you for a bath because frankly I rather not talk to a beautiful woman while smelling like a pigs intestine" Hades Nyx POV In the Underworld, it is perpetually dark. My husband and I were discussing for the nth time of what an idiot Gaia was for empowering Kronos''s scythe. There is honestly nothing we could do about it. We cannot exit the Underworld and he cannote here but is it what I want. I want to be able to roam the world again and with Kronos as king I cannot. Even Gaia fears that scythe as it none of here children that Ouranos imprisoned have not been realised. The Titans are allowed to run rampant and cause nothing, but destruction. I was lost in my thoughts when I felt such power suddenly appear in the Underworld. That should not be possible, the Ancient Laws dictate that no one should be able to cross realms without permission from its ruler. With Tartarus ruling the realm, technically, it should not be possible for a primordial to appear. I went to the source of the disturbance and noticed two beings arguing with each other about baths, clothing, and who was older. It was honestly funny. They introduced themselves as Hestia and Hades and wanted to seek asylum. "Can we ask you for a bath because frankly I rather not talk to a beautiful woman while smelling like a pigs intestine" Hades I honestlyughed at that. I took them to our home which honestly was a cave in the underworld. A big cave but a cave it still was. They bathed and I decided to introduce my husband to them as well as Tartarus or at least a form of him. They told me what happened to them and how they were eaten and how they escaped. I felt disgusted by Kronos as I have ever felt before. I had no idea he was capable of such an atrocity. I also felt intrigued by Hades as he felt strangely at peace being here in the Underworld. Everyone tries to stay away from the Underworld, but he seems so intrigued by it. I asked him why. He replied, "This ce is a nk canvas with nothing, but our imagination to paint it." That was a weird phrase as I have ever heard. He seems to want to build things here, honestly, I never bothered as I only sought a temporary location to live here while I would think of ways to deal with Kronos. And he wants to make an upsidedown Mega tree of Doom on the ceiling makes no sense to me. I asked him to show me his powers and he started with the me, then a portal which he used to get here. He then said now he can control shadows and darkness as well as feel everything in the Underworld. That should make no sense unless he was rted to Tartarus as he is the Underworld. I asked Tartarus this and he said that the Realm only recognizes those that are qualified to rule it and he was only temporarily in charge and not truly in charge as he was the most suitable at the time. He exins that it finds Hades much more suitable and if acknowledges it he would be its king. That exins so much as how Hades was able to ess the Underworld as it has chosen Hades to be more suitable than any of us. We each saw this realm as a means to an end, but he saw it as a true home. And as king we would be seeking Asylum from him as he has the ability to kick us out of the Underworld. Hades POV So I finally got a bath. I can''t remember ever taking one, but knowing about it is nice. This is the first time I looked in a mirror and I finally got to see what I even looked like and I looked good like Captain America good except I had brown hair and purple eyes. Not going to question it at least I don''t look like the Hades in the Percy Jackson Movie that guy just had issues on issues. I met Erebus and Tartarus and showed them our abilities. Apparently, the Underworld was weing me. Tartarus isn''t actually the Underworld just one of its residents that became its ruler not by choice, but by its need for a ruler and it has now recognized me as its ruler which is awesome in my opinion. While in the books it sounded like it was part of Gaia, but it actually is its own dimension in the sense it is not connected directly to her. It is its own every expanding world and Tartarus kept it a secret for himself all this time. No one can spy here or evene here without my permission. Within this realm I am more powerful then them apparently this day keeps on getting better, I first escaped Kronos''s stomach, had a bath, and finally gained a realm. I talked with the Primordials and told them I had no reason to kick them out and since I had nothing better to do I started to build my starter base. I didn''t want to deal with Kronos at the moment and I needed a ce for me and Hestia to stay in my new realm. Chapter 4 Q/A Explanations Chapter 4 Q/A Exnations Hades is a carefree amnesiac Minecraft yer. He has memories of his previous life, but those are all jumbled it would make no sense to actually think about it. He is an in the moment sort of guy who spontaneously gets ideas which are mostly inspired by Minecraft. He only really cares about those that are close to him. So he will not go after Kronos to save his siblings as he sees them as unimportant. He does not care about Rhea either as he only knew her for a few minutes. Hestia is realistically his only family as he sees it. His inaction will have consequences with his family in the future. The Underworld is its own realm. He has an affinity to the underworld as his time in the void which was an underworld and most of his energyes from and acknowledges him as its ruler. This will be in the Riordanverse. The basis of the Underworld being its own realm is the fact the Hades in the books was never truly acknowledged by the realm itself that he was the king and Tartarus was the closest it had to the king. Tartarus knowingly kept it secret that the Underworld was a different dimension allowing him full control over it. Tartarus is right now just seen as a prison not a ce to torture the wicked so he is not condescending and all that. Hades now hasplete privacy to operate in. Hades was the ruler of the dead and that was all he ever was. He may rule the Underworld, but he never actually did anything else with it. He just saw it as an unfair burden in the books. Hestia for his time in the Underworld will be his rock and tether to the rest of the World. Like I said he is carefree and is basically a newborn with facts and information that is not useful to him. She will take a little sister role in this story and hopes to be a family again with Rhea and Kronos. She does not know about her other siblings. My character Hades will have many ideas about the underworld that will mostly be inspired by Minecraft. His soul is from outside the universe and he will not need to abide by the Ancient Laws. That is how he was able to enter the Underworld through a portal because he doesn''t need to ask for permission unlike what Nyx assumed that he was already made king of the Underworld. Hades is not an idiot he is just carefree and has no responsibilities. He is like a primordial without the responsibilities of being one yet. For now, he will make the Underworld into his image. He has powers over: 1. Space (from the void) 2. Time (from Kronos) 3. Fire (from Hestia) 4. Darkness (from Erebus and Nyx) 5. Minerals (from Tartarus) Chapter 5 Progress Chapter 5 Progress Hades POV I learnt a lot over the past couple of days from Tartarus, Erebus, and Nyx. 1. I the ruler of the Underworld a separate dimension and realm that is separate to Gaia and the world. 2. I apparently have the ability to copy affinities or domains and have obtained the ability to make minerals and ores from Tartarus. Which is cool and is helping me in loads of building materials. 3. It is easier to popte the realm with minerals and ores then make it myself. I got the idea from Minecraft as the realm is using its own energy to make the materials I just popte it. Apparently Tartarus himself did not know this and said it would still be pointless as I would have to go mine the materials. I like adventure and want to get down and dirty with the mines. 4. The Underworld does not have a ceiling Tartarus put it there to give the illusion that the dimensiony underground. 5. All the beings in the Underworld besides monsters dwell in caves because they are just using the ce till Ouranus''s prophecy isplete and Kronos is overthrown. No one apparently wants to live here. 6. The Underworld which I will change the name because frankly, it is not under the world. I think I will call it the END sounds ominous and cool. 7. When a fire is lit in an obsidian like material from the END or obsidian materials blessed in my name a portal like the one I used to escape Kronos is formed. A pure ck portal with a purple haze is formed and releases an ominous sound when activated. This portal connects Gaia to the END and you travel eight times faster in the END then in the overworld. 8. There are no trees so I made some, but I can''t get the colour right. They alwayse out Blue, Purple, or Red. They are huge, and super convenient to make tools from. I do not know why, but whenever I hear someone sigh in my vicinity I feel like they are thinking of me. Erebus has told me that I was being weird for digging and crafting my own tools. My sister and Nyx have been nagging me, "Digging and building are not things that a king should do." "Why do you even need a fishing rod for there are no fish?" "What do you need buckets ofva and water for." "What is Redstone?" "Why are you building a dragon aren''t you working on your house?" I may have been sidetracked when I thought of building a sculpture of a dragon. 9. I can popte my realm with Minecraft ores like Redstone and Lace which I can actually use to enchant and create armours. I found I can create any item in Minecraft in the END. I think it is the realm itself that is helping me and anyone, in the END, can use the Minecraft system. The only thing that is different is that there is no inventory, but I made shulker boxes. Shulker boxes shrink down to the size of half a Papermate pink eraser when not ced down. 10. I have a weird sense of clothing. Apparently Jeans, Sneakers, and polo shirts have not been invented yet or people just like tunics and chitons. Nyx and Hestis keep pointing out my clothes are weird and they are not. I point out Togas offer no coverage of the body. "Tunics are so much more freeing andfortable. Your clothes do not allow as much space provide the space our clothes do" Hestia "You don''t have pockets when you realize their importance you will change your mind." Hades "What use are pockets when you can into existence anything you desire." Nyx I had no argument to back that up, but when I do I wille up with something. Hestia POV It has been a few weeks in the END as my brother has now been calling it and it has for one word been weird. Weird can be good or bad, but I find him weird in a good way. For the first few days after my brother popted the realm with trees, I would say I have honestly not seen someone so excited for just a plot ofnd. I would think he would just will the buildings into existence, but strangely I also felt enthusiastic as well. I guess his enthusiasm is contagious. He started to punch a tree to get wood. The house he built was huge, instead of a house, I felt as though it was big as Mother''s temple. The house itself had four floors and a basement. Each floor was twenty meters tall and each floor had ten rooms filled with a unique environment. There were two hearths one on the first floor which by itself was normal even though it was fifteen meters tall. But the other hearth in the third-floor library hearth was blue. There are so many books I wonder what''s in them. He called this a starter base, I don''t know what his main temple will look like. Brother is fun to be around. He is always making meugh and having these unique ideas. He acts like a child almost all the time focusing on one thing and sidetracking to another. He brings excitement to this ce. When we came this ce the people were gloomy and drab and now everyone feels like they are having fun. Nyx POV Hades has to be the strangest god I have ever met. He would be having a conversation with Erebus or my son Morpheus and he would suddenly get lost in thought and get an idea and immediately try it out. He changed the name to the END. It made some sense to change the name, but the END does not make much sense. Where did he even get the name from it felt like he was referring to something? He made this substance called glowstone because it was too dark. He lit up an entire pathway to his house. To call it a house would be an understatement. When we looked at the temple sized building it was aweinspring, to say the least. the glowing dust iid floors and the curvature of the walls. Each room was unique and he made this all by hand. Was that a ck dragon sculpture behind the house. He is so strange and exciting. I then saw his garden surrounding the dragon sculpture with blue fire surrounding it. It was inspiring in its own way while we live in caves he starts building this in days. While we try to wait out the Titan he thrives in an environment that is just a wastnd. I guess it was the reason the END chose him was he doesn''t see this ce like we do. What was weird was as soon as he was done with the house he started to create more gigantic sculptures and gardens as though he was an artist. Like when one project is done he moves onto another. He gave each of us somethings he calls a shulker box and an ender chest. Each was ingenious in their own way allowing us to store items in them and no one can ess the ender chest, but ourselves. This could be a way to hold our symbols of power it was incredible. He justes up with these ideas and continues to build or craft them. He was fun to be around and even the furies liked him even though they don''t like anyone. Fufufufu it looks like the next couple of years will be fun General over a hundred years POV Some people felt ashamed, some felt excited, and some felt like this was the type of person they wanted to follow. Thest group was just Thanatos as he only lived in a cave and the END as it was now called was all he knew. He did not realize how weird this guy was. Everyone found him interesting. All titans and gods were perverts in some sense always seeking sex and power. They strove for only recognition. He released the Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes as well. The Cyclopes rewarded him with the Helm of Darkness allowing him to be invisible, intangible, and the abilty to create absolute fear and illusions into his enemies. The Hekatonkheires also awarded him staff which would be able to easily channel his energy easily into a destructive force. They were also inspired by his buildings and wanted to create as well. This Hades just was different. He was exciting to be around and always rambling on random topics. He would disappear to mine and craft items in the middle of a conversion. He would make buildings that should have no ce in Ancient greek and people were just as confused on the purpose of them, but they were different. Through the years he built cities and homes for the residents of the END. He was able to make an automated road builder in the END even though there was no reason in the eyes of the residents. Soon they too saw this as their home and some would even be inspired to build things as well. Competitions for best builds became an event. All sorts of ideas and themes came about. All categories from scary to food. Like this, a hundred years passed. "Fufufufufu it looks like your siblings have been released from Kronos by your brother Zeus, Hades." Nyx "Brother we have to go see our family they may need us" A worried Hestia answered. "I have other siblings? And who is Kronos again?" Hades Facepalms go around. How can our king be such an idiot? Rhea POV "My Children where are Hestia and Hades." """Who""" A confused bunch. Chapter 6 Meeting the Family Chapter 6 Meeting the Family Over the years Hades has changed the END to have more biomes. He specifically created a Nether like region so hot that water instantly evaporates when inside it. Nether biomes were an enclosed space to trap all the heat inside. Lava would flow faster and from the ceiling, but it was also the perfect area for cksmithing than anything you would be able to find in Gaia. He was able to craft furnaces that would easily melt any metal and create the strongest material now known to godsherite. It had magic conductive properties on a scale never before seen as well as the kic absorption and distribution properties. Hades had his staff and helm recreated in this material. Other biomes included a day and pitch ck versions of deserts, forest, and frozen biomes. Hades wanted Nyx and Erebus or anyone else for the matter to feel left out so he decided to just have biomes which were stuck in an infinite day or night time. The forests were still blue and purple and the frozen biomes were so cold some would find it inhospitable needing enchantments to live there even for gods. There was no set time in the END. Hestia believes he just wanted to make it as confusing as possible which he probably did, but either way, everyone benefited in his decisions. Hestia POV We had a conference meeting with all the residents of the END about what we should do about the gods and the war that is about to start. In the end, we decided we were to meet Mother and our siblings to see how they are. I finally get to see mother again. I miss mother and how things used to be. Father though always had this constipated look when he saw me like he was deciding something. I found out the hard way what that was. Hades doesn''t really want to meet our siblings probably because he doesn''t really care about them. When I questioned him about it he said, "Friends are the family we choose and I don''t know this Zeus or how he is. I don''t really know our mother, but I do know that everyone here is apart of my family and it affects everyone in this room more than it affects me." With that said I think he gained the eternal loyalty of everyone here. I mean he doesn''t really act like a king, but who knows how a king should act we only had two kings before him and they were terrible. Maybe this is how a king should be, carefree and thinking of his people needs before his own. He sees everyone here as his quirky friends and treats everyone kindly joking around most of the time. Whatever it is, he is right we don''t know our siblings and we must first approach them and see how they are before we make our decision to overthrow Kronos. It took a couple of weeks, but we finally got the location of our siblings from an old dryad friend I was had in Mother''s garden. Apparently they were hidden at an Ind covered in mist and storms. The mist gave was an illusion to hide the ind and the storms warded off the Titans. Anyone that wanted to go through the mist would be attacked. This is where Rhea kept Zeus hidden as Zeus''s power is over the weather he was protected since birth. We were able to get the direct coordinates and calcted where we should open a portal from. It was aher biome that was actually inhabited by one of the cyclopes. He was happy enough to allow us to open a portal in one of his smithies that he wasn''t using anymore as it is always better to open a portal in a building just in caseva came down onto it. General POV An ominous sound echoed on the Ind as a portal appeared in the middle of the beach. It was pitch ck with a purple haze protruding it. All the residents were alerted for an attack and went to the beach with armour and weapons. All the gods and titans were not expecting a little girl dressed in a spaghetti strap white sunflower dress and white heels and a man in a white button-up cored shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. A fashion sense so out of ce. The man then turned to us and gave a disinterested look. He raised his hand and said, "Yo, What''s up" "Brother you have to introduce yourself first. Hi, my name is Hestia your sister and this is Hades your brother." An excited but yful looking girl said. A woman came out of the crowd and hugged them both, "All my children were finally together" Hades, as he was now identified, "Who, are you again" Rhea POV My children have finally been released from Kronos it has so trying for every child I had to be swallowed by that monster of a husband. We were once in love, but Ouranus''s curse has driven him mad. I was pregnant with Hestia when Kronos overthrew his father and then ate our daughter not even two yearster. I could only imagine how betrayed and lonely she must feel. Hades was born next and he was swallowed up at birth. At least Hestia haspany now that innocent girl. After all my children were swallowed I couldn''t do that to Zeus and raised him discretely in Crete. Then we were able to release my children, but something was wrong where was Hestia and Hades? Where were my children? My children looked so drained and lifeless we took them to another ind with some Titans that were seen as allies. There were Hectate and Prometheus as my most powerful allies. Hectate surrounded the ind in a mist that would not allow anyone other than me and my allies to navigate and see-through allowing us to dispatch any enemies if we need to. Zeus conjured ever epassing storms for added protection and warding off strays. Prometheus though said he was working on molding creatures in our image as added war potential. My children looked better as they were fed ambrosia and gaining in strength. Posiden was able to control water. Demeter was able to control vegetation. Hera was able to control bonds and emotions. A versatile group, but are they strong enough we need more power. Then I heard a sound that echoed throughout the ind originating from the beach. It must be an enemy attack from Kronos''s forces they found us. We ran to the beach in armour and weapons in hand to find a portal with two oddly dressed people. I recognized Hestia and started to cry. I ran up to them and hugged them. When I heard Hades say, "Who, are you again" I felt sadder than anything. They must have suffered so much. Hestia then exined to us how they escaped Kronos''s stomach through Hades''s portal and arrived in the Underworld. I felt awful, the Underworld is a barren wastnd with just Tartarus and a mountain with caves as homes. It must have been awful. Apparently I was mistaken as they exined that it was now called the END, which sounded so ominous, and Hades was made king transforming the ce into a home like no other. I was happy for them as well as sad that they did nothing for their siblings. They must have felt betrayed and did not want anything to do with me. Hades straight out said he forgot about me and did not care for Kronos. Hestia exined he is the in the moment type of guy and he just does what he feels like. That did not make me feel better. Hestia exined that the END was more secure and we should move there as there is no way the Titans can reach it. I agreed as the Underworld or End had been closed off for some time now and it would be better if we were located there. With my understanding of Hades''s portals, this will be a game-changer. He packed all our stuff in something called shulcker boxes. If we had this we could transport all our belongings so easily and could aid in our war potential. We were lead through the portal. Hestia exined that we were in one of the Cyclopes'' smithy. Hades released them from Tartarus long ago and created biomes inside the END to amodate them. As soon as we exited the smithy I felt heat like no other. Poseidon immediately copsed. I tried to help him up, but Hestia threw a nket over him and he looked better. Hestia exined that this was a Nether biome and it is so hot, water evaporates instantly. After that incident, we did not run into any others as we exited his "biome". Once we entered the "city" we could not help, but marvel at the sculptures and buildings. There was a giant tree in the center of the city and that was not Hades''s current house as this was his closest one. Apparently he likes to build and move as often every decade or so. It was named the Mega tree of Doom and Hesta says he has an awful naming sense. It was magnificent and the interior each level was different. I don''t know what he was doing for all these years. Apparently there is a maze as well we had to navigate through. After which Hestia says we could have avoided it, but Hades just finished it and wants to show it off. The maze was made of hedges and took us hours for all of us to go through and apparently the maze changes as we go through. Even though I am his mother I could not help, but feel annoyed at him. We finally made our way to a gigantic hall with chandeliers made of diamond and emeralds at the top with a majestic throne in the front. Hades sat on his throne and pressed a button and tables and chairs rose from the floor. All the residents of the END. Nyx asked him why he brought all of us here. His reply "Because I felt like it." Hestia exined that they were supposed to discuss if they should help us in this war and this it plead our case. Only the leaders were supposed toe, not everyone. Apparently Hades was in the mood to show off his maze and just wanted us to go through it as no one wanted to go through another maze made by him. The residents just sighed and palmed their faces as they look used to his attitude. Chapter 7 Interlude #1 Chapter 7 Interlude #1 Poseidon POV We were finally free from Kronos because of Zeus. We owe him more than we can imagine. Being in his stomach burned us daily. There was no escape all I could feel was pain and then we found a tform on the edge of his stomach that I and my siblings used to rest. I was able to create water to wash away the acid, but decades had gone by and his stomach healed itself. The tform and our only safe haven was gone. I covered myself in water continuously. I would have covered my sisters as well, but I could not. Rhea, our mother took care of till we got better. I felt like this was a dream being free from pain and able to walk in such a long time. I learned I also had two other family members that were in our father''s stomach. Rhea suspects they faded and cried for hours. I felt sad for there loss and angry at Kronos. I heard a noise echo throughout the inding from the beach. I readied my armour and sword I received from Prometheus and headed there. I saw two oddly dressed figures which we learned were our missing brother and sister. I learned how they escaped and how my brother, Hades has domain over space and time so he could make a portal and escape. I felt anger like no other, I mourned for them and now learned they were living happily in this END ce. Zeus freed us and now we could get revenge on Kronos, but he doesn''t care about Kronos and us all he has is this disinterested look. It pisses me off. Hades and Hestia after a few exnations told us the END was safer and we could talk there. They allowed us to put our belongings in shulker boxes and we entered the portal. Hestia exined we were in a Cyclopes smithy and that we were in a biome called the Nether. One of the many types of biomes of the END. As we exited the smithy I felt like I was being put out of existence. I was in intense pain more so than when I was with Kronos. Iter learned once I recovered outside theher that water instantly evaporates there because of the intense heat and only the smiths work there. My anger continued to rise at Hades for putting the portal there. They then exined to me that the Ind we were on could only be opened in the Nether. Apparently you had to calcte where exactly to open a portal and you travel eight times faster in the END then in the overworld and it can be used to calcte faster travel. My anger was quenched somewhat, but it was still there. I asked Hestia about the tform in Kronos stomach and if she found it. She exined that here domain was fire and she made a hole in his stomach and cauterized the wound to create that tform. If she stayed with us in his stomach we would not have gone through the pain. I felt angrier at them for not rescuing us like Zeus. She exined that without Hades support she would have no way of rescuing them and Hades only did things he was interested in. Hades apparently did not care about them enough to get them and she was the only reason after much convincing by the residents of the END to dethrone Kronos. We were only seen as a means to an end for Hades. My siblings were angry and I could see only slight interest in Hades''s eyes like he was ying a game. We approached his city and I could honestly say, it was beautiful. Gardens everywhere with buildings as tall as I could see. A gigantic blue tree in the center surrounded by gardens and a park. I saw monsters roaming around. Apparently, if they don''t cause trouble they could live anywhere they want to within reason. As we entered the Mega tree of Doom we learned it was one of his homes. He has been living in luxury for so long. Our group became angry, then he took us through a maze that hours, I had gotten lost so many times. Hestia then told us we did not need to go through the maze he just wanted to show off. Its official I am pissed beyond belief. I see as much hate in Zeus''s eyes as with the rest of my siblings. He took us to a grand throne room and pressed a button on the throne. The residents arrived and asked why all of us were here. They only wanted to see the leaders and how we were inconsequential. Hestia exined Hades wanted to test his maze. Thanks to Nyx we learned he wanted to test it out because no one wanted to and that was the only reason we were here, as a test. How could they follow someone so irresponsible? Zeus POV I finally freed my siblings. Everything ising together. With my siblings, we will finally defeat Kronos and I shall be king. Mother has exined to me that by freeing my siblings that I would gain their loyalty from them. I learned Hades and Hestia faded. I regret not having their support, but that does not matter. It has already been prophesied by Prometheus that I would defeat Kronos. Prometheus is only here because he wants to join the winning side. I don''t see him as the loyalty type. I will get rid of himter. Hades and Hestia came to my Ind. Looked like I finally have support of all my siblings and a powerful asset has been added. The ability to control space and time would be useful, but I must take care of himter in order for him not to go against me. He was made king of the Underworld only I deserve to be king how could he possibly be a king. We travel through his realm and I gaze at his city. I grow angrier and angrier with envy and jealousy. These emotions I have never felt before. I grow angry for feeling them. Then he ys games with us taking us through a maze, I got lost again and again. This Hades he dares disrespect me. While his siblings are angry for his abandonment of them he himself is angry for more petty reasons. Then his throne room came into view. My only thought was that should be mine. The residents arrive and I look into there eyes. They only see Hades, they are not paying any attention to me. So the maze was only a game to him how could they even follow such an god who only makes games. If they could build cities for him they can build more for me. If the residents are used to this behaviour he must be an ipetent leader. I will show them what true leadership is and they shall look to me instead of him. They will look to me as king. A/N: Zeus''s POV is shorter because he has not spent time in Kronos''s stomach and does not understand hardship. He was spoonfed and always belived himself to take the ce of Kronos as king of the gods and that no will be able to challenge him. I have not picked a wife for Hades. He will be monogamous. I do not see him having more than one wife. I am leading towards Persephone though. Netherite can not be quenched in the River Styx. Monsters are not residents they just arrive from Tartarus if they have done nothing wrong and treat the END as a safe haven not to be ordered or killed for sport by the Titans. Chapter 8 The Conference Chapter 8 The Conference Hades POV "So what''s the meeting supposed to be about because I want to finish my mega Arc de Hades sometime soon." I thought once we met them we would take care of Kronos and go back to building the Arc. The only good thing about theming here is the fact I finally found some people to go through my maze, the next one will be way harder. The Arc is a major project I have been working on it for years, but then Hestia found Rhea and my siblings Zeus, and and and I can''t remember their names. Instead of working on my Arc or going after Kronos, Hestia decided I should take to one of my homes. She already set up a conference and everything. Apparently Nyx nned the meeting without me. I feel like I have a secretary that just wants to give me work when I don''t want to. Nyx came up to me and pped the back of my, "We are having this meeting to discuss terms of our assistance to defeat Kronos and not focus on unnecessary things. We need to also n on how to attack Kronos''s armies and defeat them." Is this what it feels like to have a secretary because I wish Nyx didn''t act like mine. "Oww, why did you hit me again" Hades "Because you were thinking something bad about me," Nyx said. How does that woman do that? Turning to our guests I wee them, "Okay, Okay now who''s the leader or leaders of your group so we can get this over with and defeat the big guy" This is so boring I wish I made a Zeus POV He lets his subjects walk all over him, this ce needs actual an actual king, not some idiot who does whatever he likes. This looks like it will be easy to appoint myself leader of this group. He may have released the Cyclopes and the hundred handed one, but I know what they really want. They want revenge and I can use this. Kronos promised to release them if they made him a weapon powerful enough to defeat Ouranos, but after it waspleted he used it against them and imprisoned them again. Gaia then blessed it, but it was already strong enough to defeat grandfather. They are only useful for their skills after which whatever happens doesn''t matter. Hades at the moment has all the cards. He has the Underworld as his domain and is powerful. He has smiths with unmatched skills and he has three primordials by his side. "I am the leader of this group," I then turned to the Underworld''s people," and I will defeat Kronos and give all of you peace." "Oh okay then can you do it quickly then because if you don''t need me why are you here?" replied Hades. Is he an idiot? Of course, I need more powerful people to win. The prophecy never said how I will defeat him. He has armies of monsters and Titans by his side. I can''t take them by myself. "I never said I did not need you, I am prophesied to dethrone Kronos, but I need help with his armies of monsters and the other Titans. Cyclopes were it not your skills that created his scythe and what does he do he betrays you why are you here and not seeking revenge. I need all of you who are hiding in the Underworld to follow me and defeat Kronos or he will continue his reign. " Mother told me that the primordials fear Kronos''s scythe as it is both built by the Cyclopes and imbued with the power of Gaia. One of the Cyclopes raises the head to me to speak and says, "We are not hiding, in the END, it is our home and it is not up to us to follow you, but Hades as he is our king. If he were to tell us to follow you then we shall." All residents of the END are in agreement with the Cyclops. What is this bullshit, they would choose to stay in this ce and follow an ipetent leader who is not even paying attention to me? What does he have that I cannot offer? I can offer them a home and a goal. I must turn the tides, it looks like they are unwilling to follow me without the say-so of my brother. He has leverage over them or something. I have to question his integrity to lead. "Hades what say you, will you not follow me. You were once in Kronos''s belly were you not? Why did you note to rescue your siblings? You can create portals and you have created one while you were there why did you not help them? Do you not want revenge, do you not have the courage to face the titans?" Let''s see how he responds to my questioning. Hades then replied in a disinterested tone of voice, "First off this ce is called the END, not the Underworld. To answer your questions in that order, No, yes, didn''t feel like it, could only create a portal from the inside not outside, no I don''t really care about the Titans, and no I don''t really fear them." That response was unexpected. I expected him to defend his decision to not save his siblings or stammer, but instead, he is blunt as a hammer. It sounds like he is honestly disinterested with us. I just saw nods and signs of exasperation from his group. It feels like this is how he usually is. This for some reason irritated me more than anything. I had grown up in a damp cave all my childhood hiding from Kronos. I was the one to free my siblings with a promise to dethrone Kronos and take up leadership. I still have nothing to show for it. All I have is a small ind and a terrible battleground if we were to be attacked. While here is Hades who by the looks of it has been living in luxury. All he has done is escape our father and came to the Underworld. Instead of seeking asylum and bing their servant, he bes there king. And from the sound of it, he was made their king without any struggle. I don''t know why, but whenever I see that disinterested look I want to hit him. He holds all the cards and he knows it judging by his attitude. The worst of all it looks like he genuinely has the loyalty of its inhabitants. "What will happen when we defeat Kronos?" Hades asked The question was spontaneous, but I already expected it. "Once Kronos is dethroned, he and all those that supported him will be thrown into Tartarus. We shall set up a council which will govern all gods and titans. While the Titans have Mount Othrys we shall upy Mount Olympus as our base. We will elect a king and a new rule of peace will take ce." I have given this speech tens of times and have prepared this answer for all of them. I see some nods from the Underworld dwellers and see some approval. "Why do we need a king? Shouldn''t the council be enough and who will be on this council? How big is the council? You just said we will be on the council, who is included in this we?" Hades''s response threw me off. Why don''t we need a king aren''t you the king of the Underworld. Do you not have loyal subjects that do your bidding, who are you to say this world needs no king. General POV Hades''s response stumped everyone, even his siblings who were still infuriated by Hades and his life of luxury. They thought Why do they need a king? "Are you not the king of all these people, it just proves there needs to be a king." Zeus''s response proved a point. But the question was why did they choose Hades as king? Zeus''s group were satified with the response as it proved they needed a king. "Eh, I am the ruler of the END, not its residents, they just started to listen and follow me so I never really saw myself as their king mostly just their friend." All the residents had smiles over Hades''s response like it was expected he would say that. Hades himself never viewed himself as king, but his kindness and natural charisma drew people towards him. He was just so different from what people expected a normal person should act like. He was someone they could follow to make the right decisions. They were against many of his decisions, but each of them turned out for the better. The END was their home now and he was their king even if he would never admit it. "You know what, this topic is tiring. We all want Kronos gone we can discuss what the council and election for king will be after he is gone. Lets now focus on getting rid of Kronos and his armies." Hades''s response confused many of Zeus''s party. "Fufufufu looks like things are about to get interesting." Nyx As the meeting came to a close all Zeus''s group were escorted to a room in the tree. Each room was luxurious beyond anything they have seen. Zeus POV He just made a decision just like that without even discussion on terms which they brought us over for. What is wrong with him? Well, this works in our favour as I can get weapons from the Cyclops and have a fighting chance against Kronos. Once I be king everything will be set right. This bed is really soft I need one like this. Zzzzz A/N Next chapter will be nning and the war itself. I wanted this chapter to show how Zeus thinks and feels. All the gods are jealous and angry at Hades. This will affect his rtionship with his family. Nyx is an aunt figure for Hades, not a mother or lover. She is like the secretary who asks permission before making a decision. She is not the leader she is just the most level headed one. I want to include some family bonding with Rhea, Hestia, and Hades in the following chapters. Humans have not been invented yet. Hades is a carefree character and gets bored really easily if he is not doing something and this meeting really bored him. Like I said before he is a new person with jumbled up memories that have no significance. So he is an adult that acts like a child sometimes. In some of the novels, I have read about him. The guy that reincarnates as him has wishes and wants to be powerful. I feel, yes, Hades needs to be powerful, but he should not want to be powerful. He always is reincarnated after the war in the Underworld, I wanted to show the war. I wanted to portray a Hades that just doesn''t care about what others think of him and are drawn to him because he is different. He does not understand intimate rtionships and he will not untilter. He is the ultimate Minecraft yer and now he is about to be reintroduced to PVP. Chapter 9 After Meeting Thoughts Chapter 9 After Meeting Thoughts Nyx POV Zeus has nothing to really offer us. Yes, we have once felt before that the Underworld was once a deste wastnd. We were hiding and there is a great shame in admitting it, but since Hades had arrived I don''t feel that shame in fact I feel tion in following him. Hades himself had transformed the END into a paradise for his people. It is filled with colors and structures that I have never seen before. We never wanted a king until he appeared and became our leader. I questioned many of his decisions about his rule. He has always exined his reasoning, never once raising his voice. When he freed the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires from Tartarus once he had met them. I exined to Hades they were imprisoned for a reason. He told me they are right there in his territory chained for no reason other than fear and if he was in their ces he would want to escape the despair and be angry as well. He was always putting himself in the shoes of those that were in the END. I guess that is why we follow him. Hades has never really cared about his family beside Hestia, he has always looked to us as his family. I found it strange, I asked him once if we should rescue his siblings and he straight out said he was not interested. Hades was powerful enough to rescue them by himself and with his domains he would be able to easily escape any trap or seal, but he just did not feel any connection to them. I feel that I could understand him more though. He was the type of person that cares for only those closest to him and in his eyes, we are all close to him. I feel as though if anyone of us were captured he would immediately rescue us. His siblings were not really close and he had never met them so he did not have an interest in them. Zeus has raised points of what the future may hold like a council that would govern all with a leader as king. I never questioned the idea of a king, but I would not want Zeus as mine. He just did not have the same excitement when it came to being around him. Hades was spontaneous, one moment he was bored and the next he has this spark in his eyes. That spark had led to many projects we have today, such as the obsidian highway that is calcted to map out the entire continent. It is still a work in progress, but whenpleted you would be able to open a portal anywhere in the world from there. The road will be enchanted to remain a certain temperature so it would not be affected byher and frost biomes. I only saw greed in Zeus''s eyes, and when he looked at me lust I did not want to see him as king. Hades also questioned who would be on the council. I never really thought to question the idea of a council, as Hades basically has one with all the ENDs residents pitching in ideas and reformating them to make them work. I never thought that how Zeus''s council will work. It actually made me think, while Hades may appear childish, he has never really made any terrible decisions. All his decisions were made after hearing from everyone''s opinions, I never really looked at how wise he actually is. Hades''s questions were honest questions while Zeus''s were usations. While Zeus evades his questions, our king openly admits his reasons and is blunt as a hammer. Their temperament are so different, I could not see how they are even rted. Demeter POV When taking us through to his city it was so full of life, not people, but life. There were flowers and trees everywhere, but really took me away was the gigantic blue tree in the center of the city. This was Hades''s home, when I went up to it I noticed something, even this tree was alive. It felt like amunity of trees singing to each other in harmony. I don''t have the power to create something like this. Iter found out, Hades built the tree from different treesbining them somehow. I would not have thought of that and some part of me wants to try and make a tree like this. I found out Hades knew about us and did nothing, I mean he admitted it on the beach, but to hear him say it so bluntly hit home. I look around and see and feel the vegetation around me and the only emotion I have is jealousy. Zeus has talked with them before about electing a king after this war and creating a council. Someone to lead us and guide the other gods. He talked out how we, his siblings, would be this council and the wisest one among them its king. I always felt we owed Zeus for freeing us and he would be the next king. He just felt so sure of himself and I wanted that confidence. I felt angry at Hades for questioning Zeus as if he even wanted to meet us. When we were escorted to our rooms I noted how luxurious everything was. I felt anger from the way he lived his life. Hestia came to meet us. Apparently she wanted to rescue us along time ago, but she could not without the power of Hades. She was so excited to meet us. She talked and talked about how she wanted to meet mother for so long and how much she missed her. She cried and cried asking for forgiveness. Through our mother''s persuasion, we could not help but give it. Hera, Hestia, and I just talked about our lives after we escaped. We learned the END was really a wastnd with one mountain at one point. Everyone lived in caves until Hades came and became king. Apparently Hestia doesn''t really know how he became king, but the Underworld just epted him as its ruler. He was just given the position and did not even have to work for it. The dwellers of the realm just had to follow him since then. How is that fair? He just has everything handed to him. We were already pretty furious with him when we learned he was just made king, but to just be handed the realm like candy. I thought when Hestia told us he was made king that he at least proved himself or something. I then noticed Hades leave the tree and started to walk somewhere. My siblings and I tried to follow him. He took a greenish orb and threw it far into some direction and disappeared. We asked Hestia what he threw. Her exnation made no sense. The orb would allow for teleportation for where itnded. She told me us to hold on as she threw an orb herself. Next thing I know I am standing in a forest in front of a huge ck and grey wall at least a kilometre tall. Then I saw the Arc Hades mentioned earlier. It was so big I cannot describe its magnificence. The Arc itself was two kilometres tall and three kilometres wide. It has depictions of cities and all the residents of the END. It tells a story through pictures of how this ce was formed. It even has a depiction of the city tree we were just in. Hestia exins that Hades wants to have a border around the first city and the first Nether biome. Hades noticed something. Without knowing I created a tree to hide from him. Hades immediately spotted us. "I have never seen brown trees before or have I" He looked around and spotted us. He then turned to me with a gleam in his eyes. I have been looked at by many men since I was free, but his was different. He looked interested more in my ability than my looks even ignoring Hera. For the first time, I see another emotion than indifference and boredom. He goes off to exin he was looking for a different color palette and if I could make more brown trees or white ones too. I said I could make any color. He seemed more interested in me. I think Hera is jealous that I am receiving attention that she was not getting. Usually, men approach us for our looks and Hera loves the attention. I make a couple of trees of different shades and afterword he pulls me away from the group and asks for me to make a forest and a garden. He seems nicer now, it feels good to be appreciated. I may still be angry with him, but he is also different from anyone I have ever met. Hera tries to get his attention feeling jealous, but he ignores her. My brothers seem furious at my and Heras actions and I feel conflicted about how I should treat Hades. A/N I feel like I just can''t just jump into the war without having people''s thoughts on how the meeting went on. I wanted to give two perspectives. Someone who knows Hades and someone who doesn''t. Between Hera and Demeter, I picked Demeter because trees. Chapter 10 War Part 1 Chapter 10 War Part 1 Hades POV Ten years ago I felt the need for an actual weapon. My staff while efficient in helping to control my power was not really good for fighting. I could channel my elements just fine, but it did not really do anysting damage in battle, I needed a sword. I learned from the Hundredhanded ones that they made me a staff because they were afraid I would use it against them as Kronos did to them. Ipletely understood where they came from and forgave them. The Hundred handed ones wanted to prove their loyalty to me. I asked for me a set of armour and a sword both made of Netherite tp be made. I named the sword ''the Sword of END'' because it sounded cool. Apparently, the idea of armour is new with Titans and gods being basically unkible armour seems like a joke. I thought that was stupid, but who am I to question idiocy. While the staff can control all my domains, the sword itself is imbued with only the power over space and time allowing it to cut threw anything. It is the most powerful weapon ever made and with the set, they used all the Netherite avable. Even with the realm on my side, Netherite is very scarce as it is a very powerful material and hard to make. There are no mines for Netherite, you can only find them by chance and even then it is not much. It is too expensive to use at the moment and if it can be avoided, it is best not to use it. General POV Over the next couple of days after the conference, Hades and Zeus with everyone else discussed what they knew about the war front. Hyperion and an army of 10,000 monsters were scouring Crete looking for clues for where Zeus has gone. To Hades, he felt a need to capture him as it would empower Nyx, Erebus, and Hectate to have more power without light in the world. Zeus and hispany were against the n as it was too risky. They did not have an army like the Titans, they needed weapons. Zeus asked for weapons to be created to fight against Kronos and the Cyclopes and with the permission of Hades started on the creation of two weapons, the trident and lightning bolt. Hades himself decided he did need to capture Hyperion so they would have a better chance of defeating the armies of Kronos. During thest meeting, Hades opened an Ender chest and took out his helm, staff, armour, and sword each excluding power Zeus and hispany has never felt before. Zeus POV Without an army, this war will not be in our favour. We need weapons like the scythe and the only ones that can provide them are the Cyclopes and the Hundred handed ones. I have asked the Hundred handed ones to make our weapons as they were the ones that forged the scythe, but they straight out refused. The hundred handed ones are more skilled than the Cyclopes and I am furious in this endeavour. The Cyclopes agreed to give me the weapons we need to win this war, but only with the permission from Hades. I should be d that they are giving us the weapons for free, but some part of me is writhing with envy over Hades''s control over the smiths. Hades wants to take down Hyperion as soon as possible, what a joke we have no weapons, no army, and no morale. I questioned his decision to prove how incopetant he is. "Hades, how do you expect to even take down Hyperion are you an idiot? Sure it would quicken the war, but we need an actual n. I say we slowly ally ourselves with other gods and not be impatient." As I try to exin to him how stupid his idea sounds and from the look of my group they agree. I can see anger build up in Hades''spany for questioning his leadership. If they want to get captured that is fine by me I only need the Cyclopes. I see hades pull out a ck cube from his pocket and ces it on the floor. It grows to an 8-meter by 8-meter box about half his size. He pulls out and puts on his ck equipment. I felt the power contained by the sword, staff, and helm. He alreadymissioned weapons why didn''t I know of this. "What, what is this I thought you did not have any weapons, what is this metal and why does it allude such power?!" I scream at him to awsner my questions. "Well, I never said I didn''t have weapons you just wanted tomission them. This is Netherite the strongest, rarest, and most magically conductive metal in the world allow. It basically is embued with my power and icor. I should be enough to take care of Hyperion." As Hades exins bluntly. "So our weapons will be made of this Netherite?" asks Poseidon. "My brother makes a good point, will our weapons be made from this metal?" As I demanded. "Hmm, no I used up all the stores for my armour and sword when I ordered them from the hundred handed one''sst decade, they were a little overzealous in making them." As Hades indifferently exined this I could not help, but feel more anger. My brother looks down disappointed and I could see jealousy in his eyes. "Then how do you expect us to deal with Kronos without powerful weapons of our own?" I am two seconds away from attacking Hades. He has proven to be a thorn in my side. "Oh like this" And just like that the bastard disappeared. I felt metal on the back of my neck. I look back and see Hades there with his sword out. I can''t help but feel wary. "My helm allows me to be intangible and invisible. Pretty neat right, like this I will capture Hyperion. Be back soon" Hades then says as he cuts the vary air with his sword and a slit shape portal appears. He walks through it leaving us speechless. Not even ten minutester another portal simr to the one Hades left in. Hades steps out of it and outes an armless Hyperion. I do not think I have ever been this scared in my life. While mypany are happy and cheering for him because with him the war will be shorter. I fear he outstrips me in power. I must find a way to gain the upper hand and to prove my ownpetence. With this, no one can say or use anything of Hades as he has proven that right now he is the most powerful among us. Hades POV So this is Crete huh, nice ce though it could use some more buildings. I turn invisible and try to find the most powerful person here. I don''t even need to even reach out and sense him as I see a glowing guy directing some monsters to fetch him ambrosia. Huh, that was easier than I thought. I wait for when he is alone. I see an opportunity, grabbed his head and knee him hard in the face and broke his nose. He tries to hit me, but I be intangible and his fist just goes right through me. I then cut off his arms with my sword and open a portal to go home. I thought that would be harder, but I guess not. Space-time for the win. General POV With Hyperion captured and thrown into Tartarus and imprisoned, Nyx, Hectate, and Erebus will have greater influence over the world. Hades has shown hispetence as one of the leaders of the gods. He had weaponsmissioned for himself, he nned to capture Hyperion, and he was able to follow through with action. He captured Hyperion without much struggle as well and did not damage Crete what so ever. The world turns dark and Kronos has been notified that Hyperion is missing. He sends out search parties looking for him. He suspects Zeus is behind this as it allows for Hectate to unleash her magic onto his subjects. After a month of waiting for Zeus and Poseidon, they finally get their weapons. With these weapons in hand, Zeus feels the need to prove his ownpetence and capture Kronos''s most powerful general, As , alone. Poseidon feels the need to prove himself as well and wants to go after Oceanus to test out his weapon. A/N Honestly, I had no idea what to do for this chapter. There is really nothing said about the Titanomachy. Discloser, I do not own Minecraft and Percy Jackson this is a fanfiction. I couldn''t figure out how to put this into the fanfiction section as I started this on my phone. If anyone could tell me how that would be great. Chapter 11 War Part 2 Chapter 11 War Part 2 Hades POV Zeus and Poseidon have finally received their weapons. All our weapons are directly tied to our domains, the weapons are built to greatly amplify our power allowing him to strike all their foes. There are two downsides for the weapons. One of which if stolen, the power could be used against us. The other weakness of these weapons is the users. When they received their weapons, Zeus and Poseidon had grown arrogant. When I first received my sword I just felt its power and nothing else. I did not explore its abilities. It is imbued with the powers of space-time, but what does that really mean. It can cut through anything, yes, but it has so many more abilities. It can be used to teleport to other locations but also cut portals to other dimensions. I did not figure that out till I tried it when I took down Hyperion. I suspect Zeus and Posideon would be able to teleport throughout the battlefield either through lightning or water, but their arrogance in their power will blind them to it. Our weapons allow us to interact with our domains like never before. But it''s up to them to figure it out, it wouldn''t be as fun if I just told them everything. I learned recently I can no longer copy affinities in domains as I used to. I can still copy abilities, but the people I copy from the need to have a connection to the END and fully see this ce as their home. I noticed this when I tried to copy the powers of Demeter and grow trees of my own. Prometheus cannot create his creations in the END, something about this ce rejects the birth of life. He has since moved back to the ind along with Zeus and hispany. Sadly, Hestia has also left with them. He finally was able to seed and create Humans. I visited them and found these humans fascinating. They are modelled after us gods and Titans. Unlike monsters that need to be created these beings can reproduce. I don''t really know how they reproduce though each one is different. We finally have our own undying army. I think I might have jinxed us. Information is now what we need and something I do not have. I want to finish this war as quickly as possible, but it looks like there are too manyplications. I tried to open a portal to Mount Othrys thest month, but Kronos himself constantly releases his power to slow time that disrupts my ability to teleport. I can still turn intangible, but even through that, I am slowed down even on the outskirts of the mountain. His paranoia is very creepy. This means I can''t approach him by myself. It would seem I need my siblings'' help after all. This war willst longer than I want it to. Poseidon POV When I received my Trident I felt like I could go toe to toe with Kronos himself. I could feel the water vapour in the air and I have even control it. I could feel and control all the water in a two-hundred-kilometre radius. So this is what Kronos feels with his scythe, with this now I know we have a fighting chance against him. Before we left back to the Ind, Hades had warned us to first gather information of the armies of the Titans. Like we need that, with this Trident armies are nothing. I am able to shake the earth and destroy inds with my weapon. What do I need to fear? Once we came back from the END I felt much calmer. I felt the breeze of the ocean was all over me and felt at peace. Before I met Hades, Zeus and I agreed to split the realms among us. We each would leave it up to fate on what we would pick as our realms. Now though I told Zeus it would be for us to try to take the realms now as it offered us more power. Zeus agreed with my insight. Right now As controlled the sky and Oceanus the sea and oceans. While we couldn''t find the location of As, but we do know the location of Oceanus''s pce given by Rhea. Zeus has advised me to find and capture Oceanus and with my trident, this should be simple. Once I defeat Oceanus, I will take the sea and oceans as my realm. I travelled the sea and after a couple of hours of travel, I find a pce in the location. This ce was surprisingly empty. From what I feel there are no powerful people here except one person. That must be him, with knowing where he is the only thing I could do was enter the pce and confront him. I swim through his pce and reach onerge piring tower. I opened the door and what I found was not what I expected. When I entered the chamber I found the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Not just was she beautiful, but she felt beautiful as well like she had a connection to water as deep as mine. From that moment I knew I had to have her. "Grandfather are you home, I thought you were in a meeting with the king?" As she started to look at me. She then eximed, "You are not grandfather, who are you and why do you feel as powerful as him." "I am Posideon, son of Kronos and Rhea, I am here to seek an audience with Oceanus. May I know your name?" "I am Amphitrite, daughter of Nereus and Doris, granddaughter of Oceanus. I did not know Kronos had any children, my grandfather is in a meeting with your father. He should be here in a couple of hours. Would you like refreshments?" Apparently Kronos has kept the fact he had children a secret, I may be able to use this. Thest couple of months have hectic, first finding out I had a brother, then I had two brothers. The fact one didn''t care about us made me furious, but it hurt more than my anger knowing he didn''t even want to get to know us. I have just been feeling like I am in a whirlpool of emotions. Over the next couple of hours, we talked and ate about the current happenings of the world. With Hyperion missing for a month other titans had to pitch into light the world. Many Titans suspect Kronos was displeased with him and has thrown him into Tartarus or cut into pieces. No one has been able to contact the underworld in a while and some rumours have been saying it has been sealed off in fear of Kronos. After a while, I felt a powerful presenceing with many significantly less powerful presences. This must be Oceanus and his army. I went outside to approach Oceanus. "Who are you boy, and why are you here in my Pce" What he said infuriated me. I am no boy, I am more powerful than you. What do you know, I am no child. I have suffered and I have ovee. "I am Poseidon son of Kronos and Rhea and I havee for this realm" This is one of the moments in my life I wouldter regret happening. General POV Posiedon felt greatly insulted by Oceanus for calling him boy. For him, the word meant weakness and weak he was not, not anymore. Sensing his anger Oceanus felt the need to teach this brat a lesson. He sent a wave of pressurised water like a de cutting through water. Posideon met it with his own. While Poseidon''s attack may have been more powerful, Oceanus''s disipated it and made it harmless. ''He is stronger than I thought'' thought Oceanus '' let''s see how he handles this'' And just like that an underwater tornado made of water des formed around Posideon. This being the first battle for Posideon, he was injured in the exchange and escaped by forming vacuums around him and Oceanus creating great explosions and injuring them both. Poseidon turned to energy sts and Oceanus found himself in trouble. There was no way to redirect them and he had no water technique to counter it. In the sense, he should have lost, but fate would have its lessons. Oceanus literally turned himself into the ocean to teleport short distances to dodge the assault. From water des to whirlpools, to energy sts the battle was exhausting. While Posideons trident initially gave him the upper hand and overwhelming power, his inexperience in using that power cost him greatly. After many days of fighting Posideon realised was losing and had no choice, but to retreat. While Posideon had more power he did not know how to use it efficiently and learned greatly from the exchange. A/N Sorry I am busy today and won''t be able to write another chapter. Disimer I don''t own Minecraft or Riordan''s works. Chapter 12 War Part 3 Chapter 12 War Part 3 Oceanus POV Kronos has been acting more strange recently. Especially with his deteriorating rtionship with Rhea. There are rumours going around that Rhea cannot bear him kids. Things are now strange, at first, the Underworld is closed and now Hyperion is missing. I grow increasingly worried for the seas as more and more gods and titans flock to it in fear. With the influx of more people, Kronos has been suspecting me of rebellion. Kronos has be more paranoid than ever before and has created a monster to monitor the seas which I am forced to allow ess to. There is an interesting rumour on Mount Orthys, Kronos''s children have escaped. Why would Kronos imprison his children? As though fate as I approach my pce, about 50 kilometres away, I am confronted with a new god I have never seen before, iming to be Kronos''s son. Things got heated as we engaged inbat. His Trident reminded me of something, but I couldn''t quite put my finger on it till it fired energy sts. I then realised this was simr to Kronos''s scythe. As the brat retreated I came to my pce healing from my injuries to rest. I meet with Amphitrite and we have a discussion about this Posideon. She seems quite taken with him, maybe I can use this. Rhea POV It has been a few days since Posideon left for Oceanus. I warned Zeus there are better ways than fighting in this war. Oceanus has always been peaceful and the most reliable Titan out of all of us. Zeus is no military tactician like I once thought he was and only sees this war won through battles. If we want peace, in the end, we need to form alliances and have ns. Once he received those weapons from the Titans he immediately saw this as an opportunity to win the war. If we were to win the war like this we would only be seen as warmongers. I found a heavily injured Posiedon on the beach. Worried sick I took him to have him healed and fed. Luckily Hestia has the power to heal and Posideon only took a couple of hours to heal fully. Zeus hade back from taking back Crete from its armies of monsters with our own armies of humans. Zeus came and demanded what happened to Posideon and if he defeated Oceanus. From what we learned, Posideon had lost but not in terms of power but experience. Even with the massive power boost from the weapon attacking Oceanus alone proved difficult. Zeus had been furious and med Hades for giving inferior weapons, but for once Posideon did not, instead, he med himself. He told Zeus that he could not properly use its power and his battle with Oceanus had shown him that his weapon allowed him to do more things than even he thought possible. Poseidon had told Zeus that the weapons that they were given allowed and they needed time to adjust to these new abilities granted by the weapons. Zeus left conflicted, as he learned having a powerful weapon doesn''t necessarily mean having power itself. My boys have grown up it would seem. With this experience, he had matured more than I ever realised. My hope for peace which I had not realised had greatly diminished once again rose as I received a message from the goddess Iris one of the many who fled to the seas. Oceanus wants to meet with us and negotiate an alliance and he would be bringing an escort and his granddaughter Amphitrite. I told him that we could meet in the Underworld and have the negotiations there with our other allies. I asked Hades to open a portal to the END on an undisclosed ind and not anywhere near a Nether region. Zeus did not want to have negotiations, but weirdly Posideon readily agreed. General POV Oceanus and his escort had arrived at Zakynthos at the time specified by Rhea. Upon reaching the Ind he notices on the beach is an obsidian structure with a rectangr hole in the center. Next to it though is a man in shades and swim trunks making a sandcastle. The man notices them and raises his hand andzily says, "Yo, are you the people who want to negotiate." "Brat who are you we are here to meet someone to escort us to the Underworld and meet Rhea." Oceanus in a surprised tone. "Oh yeah that''s me, I am Hades. The Underworld is now called the END and I will just open the portal now. By the way, who are you?" Hades At this time even his escort were surprised. You don''t even know who you are escorting to the Underworld. "Brat I am Oceanus and when are we going to meet Rhea?" Oceanus "Hold on, hold on, I swear the older you get the less patience there is." Now Oceanus was pissed who did his brat think he is? As Hades says this he lights a fire opening a portal to the END. While Hades would not usually be here he did not want to another tour of his domain and decided it would be better to open the portal inside the conference room directly. Hades steps on and makes a gesture toe with him. Oceanus and hispany follow through to meet a gigantic hall with a throne on the far end. As they go through Oceanus sees Rhea and Prometheus talking with Erebus and Nyx. Rhea and herpany are startled by his sudden appearance. "If you could have opened a portal directly to the throne room why didn''t youst time?" says a disgruntled Zeus. "I didn''t feel like it," says Hades "Hahahaha funny brat" Oceanus Hades goes up and sits on the throne and decides this would be a good time to call everyone together. He presses a button and chairs and a table pops up from the ground. "Well let the meeting begin." Oceanus is introduced to Rhea and her kids. He learns about the situation and how the kids were eaten by Kronos in his madness. He is surprised to find out the rude brat that escorted him here is actually the ruler of the END and that had escaped Kronos''s stomach long ago and took over the END and transformed it into what it is today. He learns that Zeus is the leader of his faction and Hades is the other as they are only allies. Zeus himself realizes the magnitude of power within Oceanus''s domain. As the gods and Titans have fled to his domain to have a rtively peaceful life. Once Kronos is defeated they would leave the seas though and that would allow him more control over the gods. "I am willing to negotiate, and I am willing to let go control over my domain to Posideon under some conditions. There will be a political marriage between him and Amphitrite. He will try to bring peace to the seas and capture the Kracken. The Kracken is a monster created by Kronos as a way to bring bnce to the power structure. He must defeat it alone as a way to show he is powerful enough to rule the seas. There are more conditions regarding the safety of all sea life and retaining some powers as well" Oceanus realises that if Kronos is dethroned Posideon would likely be the next ruler of his realm. As much as he hates the idea, he wants those of the sea to be happy and with his support, would allow for a peaceful session. He would still retain some powers over the sea by the negotiation so not all was lost. Amphitrite looks conflicted as it is the first time hearing of this, while Posideon looks more than eager to agree with these terms. Zeus himself saw no w with this but was also jealous as another of his brothers would gain a realm of power. He would be the only one left without one. The meetingsted for a few days. During which, Hades took them on a tour avoiding the Nether as they were from the sea learning fromst time. As Oceanus and Hades conversed, Oceanus told Hades he was disappointed that he did not go to rescue his family. As Oceanus said, "We cannot choose who we are rted to, true, but that does not mean they are not family and no matter what that is who they are in the end." You don''t realize you are in the wrong until you hear it from a wise old man. Hades finally realised he had been inconsiderate to his family and finally apologized to them. What surprised others'' was he apologized to his family for noting to get them. Only those that actually epted the apology were Posideon, Demeter, and oddly enough Hestia as she was the one that pestered him about it and he did not listen. Hera took a little longer and she epted the apology after he gave her a diamond ne. A year has passed and Oceanus has been organizing the gods in the sea with Posideon and teaching him like a mentor. Oceanus felt Posideon was not ready to take down the Kracken. While he was powerful enough he still did not master his powers yet and Oceanus felt Posideon needed to show an overwhelming victory over the Kracken to show his prowess. Rhea decided that Hades doesn''t actually know a lot about people and is terrible atmunication and decided to teach him about the world and how it works personally. Hades has made up with his family and improved rtions, but there is still some underlying resentment for his actions or his inaction. Zeus went away to negotiate with the wind titans and gods, Aeolus and his children. As''s location was still unknown. While all this was going on Kronos had heard increased activity around some unknown inds, with a heavy mist and storms. Through his paranoia, he had deduced this is where his children were and sent an army led by As and Iapetus to stage an attack unknown to its residents of the inds. With Zeus and Poseidon gone, there would be no one powerful enough to defend it. A/N Disimer: Don''t own Minecraft or Percy Jackson series No Harem period Hades Minecraft yer now with people skills Poseidon has mood swings like the sea. Starting to notice girls now. Zeus Greedy and jealous of those in a higher position than him. Demeter likes to grow things Hestia likes family and warmth Hera attention-seeking brat that likes jewellery Rhea mother figure trying to bring the family closer and sees teaching Hades as a bonding opportunity Weapons are powerful, yes, but Hades would be evenly matched if both Zeus and Posideon teamed up against him. Chapter 13 War part 4 Chapter 13 War part 4 As POV Something is wrong, Hyperion has disappeared. The days grow dimmer, as there is less and less time for the sun to remain in the sky. The god Helios can drive the chariot, but our king does not trust a god to do a titans work, as it should be. I was told to collect Hyperions army to add to my own I found all the monsters in Crete gone. A battle took ce, I could see celestial bronze swords and spears. This is disconcerting, it feels as though we are at war with another force. I bring my findings to Kronos. My king had finally had enough and told me of his children. How four of his children had escaped his stomach. I will have been assigned to hunt them down and capture them. With Tartarus closed off we can only chain them down till we devise a way to get rid of them. I have notified Kronos of unusual activity around some unknown ind. My army is made up of dragons and flying monsters. At Mount Tamalpais, my army was attacked since we could fly I called for a retreat. I saw hundreds of boats and miniature versions of us attack my encampment. Kronos had said it was likely Prometheus had joined his children and those are his creations. This is disconcerting, they are immortal, but are not gods or titans so that allows us some options. They can be injured, but they will heal. There is only one true way I think we can defeat these humans. They rode these creatures called horses, they are not monsters but something different. I hate to say it, but I have to employ the help of my father, Iapetus. At least he will be useful for once. I have tracked and located the unknown ind with the mist surrounding it. I heard word from a dryad I was once with, that Zeus had begun negotiations with the traitorous winds. I also heard Oceanus may be working against us. The seas are untrustworthy, that is why Kronos has a dependable army that governs the skies. Our main objectives our Prometheus and Epimetheus as they are the creators of these humans. As we approached the Ind only mist was preventing coordination. We had figured out that Zeus was the one controlling the storms and with him gone, there were no clouds preventing us to fly over the Mist. "Well well well, look what we have here" I estimate twenty thousand humans upying this Ind. General POV As ordered a straight-on assault on the humans having his dragons rain fire on from above. The humans had not expected an attack were at a disadvantage. Out of the army of twenty thousand, only ten thousand were uninjured and called for a retreat. Even so, the dragons themselves were not unscathed as out of five thousand dragons, two thousand were brought down. While the humans and gods fell back, As and Iapetus searched for Prometheus and his brother as they were the keys to their sess. As had finally found Prometheus and Epimetheus, the true battle began. What Prometheus didn''t know was he and his brother were led into a trap. As they were ready to face As, Iapetus was crafting a curse to affect the power of fate. An extremely powerful and binding curse the likes of which will give his name the Titan of mortality. Toward the back of Prometheus and Epimetheus, Iapetus chanted, "I bind all creations from your hands to forgo immortality, that which you create will be bound to fate, all you have thought perfect will be imperfection. I curse you Prometheus and Epimetheus." All was lost for Prometheus, his greatest creation, man, was now mortal. All the ten thousand injured now were dying in mass, no longer healing. Unknowingly, Iapetus had also cursed his As''s army as dragons were the creation of Epimetheus and with that said injured dragons would perish as well. A great blow dealt with both sides of the war, but As thought this was necessary as Humans could reproduce and multiply. While As was concerned of the ramifications of his father''s curse, vines wrapped around him while fire hit Iapetus. Demeter, Hestia, and Rhea had arrived to find Prometheus and Epimetheus. Rhea had witnessed the curse at thest minute and knew they were at a disadvantage. With all her sons gone from the ind, no one is there to protect it. The attack took them by surprise, as she ordered a retreat to the sea, she needed to find Prometheus. A short battle took ce between the women and As as Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Iapetus were weak from the curse casting. As batted all attacks that were thrown his way. Vines were torn, fire was worthless, and Rhea''s spear did no damage. Even worse, as fates would have it everything slowed down. As if everyone was trying to walk through syrup, Rhea knowing they stood no chance and Kronos had arrived. Kronos POV "Hello, my lovely wife, what have we here," as Kronos turns his head, "Hestia my daughter it seems more than just four children had escaped. That only leaves Hades. Now the question is how did you escape me, Hestia? Answer quickly or don''t it doesn''t matter. As capture and chain them." Kronos looked to leave when a bolt of lightning was about to strike his back, but just before it would hit him the bolt froze in mid-air as well as Zeus himself. Kronos had heard that Zeus wasing back to the Ind and he could not afford this opportunity to go to waste. He needed As toplete his n to turn these abominations mortal. With that done finding Hestia and Rhea was a bonus unto itself. Noticing the bolt in Zeus''s hand he knew the only way there would be a powerful weapon such as that was if his brothers were realised from Tartarus. Zeus was powerful and he could not contain him in a time field for long. "As leave and take my children and these three Titans with you. I will hold off Zeus" That weapon is powerful and he did not know its capability. With Zeus''s weapon in hand allowed for him to break the time field, but he was exhausted enough for Kronos to escape. He needed more information about his sons and if they all had weapons. So he did the only thing he could do, he retreated. His paranoia got in the way, wasting a precious opportunity he wouldter regret for thousands of years toe. Hades POV I have never been angry before so this was new to me. When I went to meet Zeus and Posideon on our next ns I heard the news from them that mother, Hestia, and Demeter were captured, earthquakes like never before. Darkness roamed thends as I could not calm down. I wanted retribution like no other. This was new to me and it took me a couple of days to calm down. We decided we needed a n. From what Zeus has learned Kronos is not keeping them at Mount Orthys, we cannot do anything without knowing their location. It frustrates me to no end. Another thing to add to my problems is that though Iapetus curse affected the human immortal body, it did not affect the soul. Humans are now useless to us and our burden. We stripped them of their weapons and melted them down so someone else may have use for them. We have souls needing to be organized and judged for their actions ording to the fates, that responsibility relies on me. With this, I have decided to make a ce in the END as a way to manage souls and judge them for there actions. I am excited to build it, but at the same time anxious without Hestia. I want to rescue her now, but Nyx calms me down and tells me to leave it to Zeus to figure out where they are held. Posiedon now feels rushed to take the sea. He must grow stronger in tactics and defeat the Kraken fast. Today was a terrible blow to all of us. Unexpectedly we brothers are getting along more than ever before. We are now working together and have constantmunication between each of us. Iris right now is the most important goddess at the moment and we all realise it. Each of us have tasks we have to aplish. This war is going tost longer than we all hoped. We all thought this war was going to be easy as we had everything going for us, we had an immortal army, we were gaining the realms, and we each had powerful weapons. Now though, we lost the army and most of our family. We lost two of ourmanders and have gained more burdens with our mistakes. Zeus had learned a lesson though, he needs all of us if he were to take down Kronos. His time field would make us vulnerable indiviually, but if we attacked together we may be at an advantage. All said and done I need to work on the afterlife for the humans. A/N Disimer: I don''t own Minecraft of Percy Jackson. I wanted the war to not be straight forward. Like in some novels I read, the guy is overpowered and wins every battle. Where is the tension, the lessons, I want my characters to learn something from the consequences of his actions and to grow as individuals? Hardship causes people to grow and Hades will slowly start to act more human again. Till now Hades did not necessarily know or remember emotions. He gained happiness, and that is it. He had never known sadness and loss. He did not know anger. I want him to grow as a person. He will still love to build and gain ideas from Minecraft, but I wanted to show growth of character. Hades had apologized to his siblings and that was one of the first steps. He basically avoided anything that was inconvenient and got in the way of him building, but he can''t do that now. Chapter 14 War Part 5 Chapter 14 War Part 5 Hades POV A month has passed since my mother and two of my sisters were captured. I never had been stressed and worried before and has been starting to get to me. I try to put my work into building the afterlife for the humans. I created it on the memory of the Percy Jackson''s afterlife with the Elysium Fields, Asphodel Meadows, Mourning Fields, Isles of the Blessed. The realm created the Elysium Fields which made me feel robbed. I wanted to create it, but at the moment I really didn''t care. I had Tartarus contain all the souls which were evil and could not be redeemed. Right now there are not many souls, but I want to create a system which would allow for expansion and influx of souls. This would allow for war and an increase in humans to not affect the ENDs ability to contain it. The afterlife is beyond the location where a portal can be opened from, meaning I went far enough away in the END that there was no corresponding location on Earth. I asked the rivers Styx to surround the afterlife, Acheron the river of pain, Lethe the river of forgetfulness, and Phlegethon the river of fire toe to the END and have a ce in the afterlife. At first, they disagreed with me, but after reasoning with them and the need for there powers, I was able to convince them to move their rivers here to the END. They were made a part of my council and given free ess to roam my realm. I have been pestering Zeus almost every day to the point that Zeus had to ask Iris to stop allowing me to message him unless it was an emergency. Posideon had finally be the king of the seas taking Oceanus''s ce. The wedding is postponed till the war is won, but from the looks of his rtionship between him and Amphitrite, they are happy. Hmm, maybe I need to marry someone? Noone really catches my eye though. I want someone to build structures with, I don''t see any goddess wanting to join me though. Even Hestia doesn''t understand the joy of bringing ideas into existence through your hands. After a month of searching, Zeus had finally contacted me and says he has a lead. Poseidon POV Thisst month has been hectic for me and my brothers. It has been the first time I have seen Hades being angry. Over the past month, he has been pestering Zeus on the location of our mother and sisters. Hera has been less attention-seeking and has been looking around uncertain of what she must be doing. She has mostly stayed with the other goddesses that are upying the oceans. For thest month, all I have been doing are tasks set by Oceanus. Either creating rivers with only my powers or training my water control without my trident. I had to do some tasks for some naiads to clear any blockages in their rivers. I had gotten to know the gods and titans of the sea as well as showing my prowess. Myst was to take down the Kracken alone without my trident. The Kracken had been my most difficult foe. With my trident, I could have easily defeated him, but Oceanus had shown me I needed to prove I was powerful without the weapon. I would never be able to truly rule the seas by a power that can be taken. I had been strangled and had chunks of my flesh bitten out of me. I was only able to avoid being eaten by turning into water. I only won because I gouged its eyes out with a high pressured water sh. It was my greatest victory by far. The best part of it all was a frantic Amphitrite to monitor my recovery. I would battle the Kracken a hundred more times if this is the treatment I would receive; Oceanus was amused by this. Zeus has been looking frantically for Rhea and has been contacting all the gods, there had been some weird movements around Mount Orthys. He suspects that is where they are hidden there as they have no other location to keep them. It is being surrounded by a hundred thousand monsters with Iapetus and As guarding it. Without our army, only my brothers could go there. By ourselves, we will approach the mountain. Kronos is also going to be there Kronos POV I had my prisoners in spiked golden chains hanging at the bottom of my mountain. This past month had not been fruitful. The dragons we once had were now all dead with only a few remaining. Zeus, my most hated son, had spent thest month ying search and destroy with them. I only had a hundred thousand or so monsters left and I called them all to Orthys. I had gotten information from Rhea after a threatening her daughters. Loving her children more so then I cost her dearly. Hades was now the ruler of the Underworld, it seems and he had escaped through his powers over space and time. He not only controls the Underworld but has freed my brothers from Tartarus. They had made him and his brothers weapons on par with my scythe. I can not fathom what ns he has made. Only I have the possibility to design something to block his powers. What is more frustrating is that Oceanus has betrayed me as I expected. I called As, Iapetus, and all the titans toe here and stay close to the mountain, I can''t afford any more deserters. Zeus POV It had been decided by myself and Oceanus that there would be an all-out assault on Mount Orthys. All the gods and titans we could bring to our side. We had no army, we had only three big hitters really. My brothers and I will lead the assault and finish this battle once and for all. By the time I am done Mount Orthys will be no more. Hades told me and Poseidon, that he could not open a portal around Orthys because of Kronos''s ability to bend time is always active around him. He dtes time with different speeds at random times, destabilizing the portals. The only way to bypass this is to open an obsidian portal which would onlyst a few minutes. We have no choice, but to go bynd and face his army head-on. We are rushing it from the perspective of many peoples, but we have no choice. Kronos has all the cards at the moment and we need a deceive victory. People are starting to stop believing in our cause if we do not show a victory. And with that, there is a less of a chance of rescuing my family. Hyperion was defeated, yes, but no one saw it and it was a sneak attack. We need to show our superiority. This may be our final stand. We need to show that they need a better leader. A/N Disimer: don''t own Minecraft or Percy Jackson Finished with work so I was able to work on this. Sorry was so busy today. It looks like I will be updatingte tomorrow as well. I will be able to get a chapter out though. Thank you for the support andments. The Paragraphments were really helpful in pointing out mistakes. I started this on my phone not expecting it to go so well. The final battle for the first war will be next. Chapter 15 War Part 6 Final Chapter 15 War Part 6 Final Hades POV From Zeus''s information gathering, all of Kronos''s forces are at Mount Orthys. We are about to perform an all-out assault against the stronghold. Our armies have been reduced to nothing, our support from the gods is at an all-time low. We literally lost the support of the wind gods because of our loss. Zeus won''t be able to conjure up storms around Orthys. The area surrounding the mountain is barren so there is no water for Poseidon to manipte. We cannot rely on Oceanus''s army because most of the creatures are need water. I can''t make portals that are stable enough to pass through for any tactical advantage. Most of the gods and Titans on our side can''t even fight properly, they don''t have the domains for it. From anyone''s perspective, we cannot face Kronos''s because we have no advantage. A lot of the gods on our side even desserted us to join Kronos. Though it looks like we are at a huge disadvantage I still have one or two trump cards left. Today will be the day that Kronos learns a lesson all gods and titans shall forever imnt into memory. Zeus POV Today is the day I fulfil the prophecy, I will smite down Kronos and take his ce as king of the world. Just like Kronos and his father, it will be my turn to rule. We may be at a disavantage, but fate is by my side. With Hestia captured Hades has been acting unstable. I could use this to my advantage when I bring up the next kingship. A king should rule the sky and look down from above. I will stand the victor today, it has all but fated. Kronos POV Dawn approaches and I feel my sons and less than a hundred gods with them. Pittance to what they approach what army do they have has been wiped out. I mock Prometheus for his creations. They are not worth the effort to dispose of yet. They created them and gave them purpose, but were thrown away when they were unneeded. He could only look down in sadness knowing they are pathetic mortals. I have dozens of gods and titans by my side, their army is pathetic. They n to attack me with such a small force. I will finally put an end to this prophecy when I capture all of my children I shall slice them into a thousand pieces like I did my father. I will not take any chances. I see a god in ck armour approach my army ready to speak. Hestia POV The chains are really painful. Spikes through my hands and golden icor drips from my being. I feel weak, but I know my brother wille. I am surrounded by all the gods and goddesses captured during the attack of the Ind. It is a depressing site and I don''t know what is toe. I know my brother wille, but can he really beat Kronos, can he win. The army is huge and Kronos has more gods than all my brothers havebined. All of them follow in fear of Kronos''s power. He wanted us as a demonstration. He ns to cut us to pieces. I see gods approaching the army of Kronos. I can''t make out anyone, but I know my brother is in ck armour. I hope he wins. General POV It was at dawn that the Zeus and his army moved. Hades came alone from the END not caring for the worried looks from his brothers. They expected him to bring at least Nyx, but he had forgone that. He just stated he was all that they needed. Arrogant and overconfident was all that was seen by the other gods, even Zeus and Posideon. Hades in all ck armour had his helm in his hand and staff in the other. He had his sword sheathed approached the army of Kronos. "Kronos, I am Hades this is your first and final warning, surrender now and release all of our allies. If not you will you face the consequences." Hades yells confidently to the army and the mountain trying to get Kronos''s attention. For the gods following him including his brothers, he looked like an idiot. Posideon even tried to drag him back. "Hahahahaha, why should I surrender to you, you have no power here, you can''t teleport, make portals, no storms and be made, no water to manipte, what can you even do. You are no match for my army. It should be you that surrenders yourself to me. And once you do prepare to be sliced to pieces." At this moment Hades sees where Kronos is and notices gold dripping from the mountain. On closer inspection, he sees all the gods that were captured as well as his sister Hestia. They were decorated around the mountain like a Christmas tree decoration. Hades''s anger causes spiked and had caused earthquakes. "I was hoping for that answer. I am going to teach you a lesson Kronos." Hades puts on his helmet of darkness and grips his staff in both hands. "And that lesson is FEEAAARRR!!!!" Hades imnts is staff into the ground creating a shockwave of dark energy in the direction of Mount Orthys. An aura of fear amplified by the staff causes monsters all around to attack each other fearing for their sanity. The worst fears possible, they could not escape. Some felt pain that was unimaginable like they were ythings to a higher being. Some felt like they were hunted as prey for others. All their worst fears came to life in their minds. Kronos felt as though Ouranus was next to him and attacked As and Iapetus. No one could have predicted this. Hades himself just calmly walked to toward the mountain as a pathed formed for him. The gods followed Hades just gaped at his power. The power to destroy armies without doing anything. Even Kronos was effected. This event would be forever imnted into their minds especially in the mind of Zeus. The helm of darkness had abilities unknown to them. Abilities that could change the tide of war. As Hades went up the mountain he asked the gods to release the ones that were captured. All the gods and titans that were not on his side were fighting each other. To see his family in chains and do nothing, they deserved far worse. For an entire day he lets his aura out in pent up anger as the army of Kronos was slowly destroyed. When only a thousand monsters remained and all the gods and titans maimed and unable to fight he released his aura. The ones that followed Kronos were speechless, and curled up in fear of Hades. They had never felt so helpless and broken in their entire lives. The power to influence the minds of all beings in the world was such to be feared. Hades had called all his family together and they were finally going to deal with Kronos. As they approached the throne room they notice ruins and As with his father beaten. Demeter uses her nts to bring them closer to be chained as prisoners. The throne room itself was locked. Hades had cut open the door and what they found surprised them. Kronos was in a destroyed throne room. Everything had scythe marks on it. He was ragged and distraught. As they approached Kronos they noticed his weakened form. Hades had taken the oppurtunity and kicked him in the face. Zeus took his lightning bolt and shot him at his throne and took another to destroy it. Kronos was shocked beyond belief as all his ns were destroyed his mountain crumbling before him. The power he had obtained was being drained as his throne was destroyed. Posideon took the opportunity to st him with his trident and Hestia had taken the opportunity to take his scythe while he was distracted. Demeter had wrapped him up in vines and golden chains. The gods themselves were shocked at how they won. They had finally captured the king and all his followers. It had to be the most anticlimactic win ever. Zeus though was more so disturbed by the implications. He had thought the most powerful weapons in the world were the sword, bolt, and trident. He would never had guessed Hades''s most powerful weapon was his helm. There was no protection he could conceive that would protect you from it. With just a though he could win any battle. Hades''s actions though would be remembered by all gods making him feared. A/N Aphrodite will be introduced after the war but will be shown importance after till the Giant Arc. Next is the aftermath. Chapter 16 Aftermath Chapter 16 Aftermath General POV With Kronos captured all that was left was to round up and kill all the monsters that remained on the battlefield. Zeus had ordered for all captured gods and titans to be taken to Mount Olympus to be judged. As everyone left the Mount Orthys Zeus used his bolt to destroy the mountain as a symbol of their victory. As all the gods and titans that were captured were recovering, Hades decided toe into the room without his armour and weapons. Hades POV I realised I made a grave miscalction when I faced Kronos. I forgot to channel my helmets power properly during the battle. While I did curve my power from the gods by my side, I did not take into ount my anger and used the helm''s full power against all the chained gods and titans during the final battle. All the gods captured had been affected by my helm and gained an instinctual fear of it. Good thing I put it away and changed or else it would cause some issues. They probably don''t know it was me that caused their torture besides Hestia. Speaking of which I notice her with mother and Demeter. "How are you guys doing?" This month must have been tough for them. Being hanged from spiked chains must have been painful. Just the thought made me angry. My thoughts were broken by my mothers hand on my shoulder. "It could have been better, but at least we won. I never expected to see you angry before." My mother soothes my anger. "Well, with the humans dying I have to manage their souls and afterlife. It was stressful worrying about you guys and mmanging the humans. I made the process automated as possible so I don''t really need to get involved directly most of the time which is nice. Now the war is over you can visit my realm more often." I wanted to show my realm to her. Over the course of the war I have grown to be attached to my mother. It was nice having her and Hestia around. I turn to Hestia and see she has recovered. "Hi brother I would love to see it too and I will visit often" Hestia decides to join the conversation. "Visit do you not want to live in my realm than" I guess Hestia wants to live on earth. I guess that''s alright. As long as she is safe. "Brother I would like toe to the END with you, but I feel my ce is here my ce is on Olympus." Hestia says to me. She looks firm in her decision. "Well, okay then it is your decision" I guess there is no convincing her. General POV Hades decided to leave for the END to notify what was going on with war and bring them back to Olympus to judge those that willingly sided with Kronos. As Hades had left Zeus decided he needed to demonstrate a show of force. Zeus had wanted to show his prowess during the final battle with his lightning bolt, but with Hades taking the show he had only shown his power by destroying the mountain. He decided he needed a show of force, so he called all the gods and titans that were on Olympus to him. He took a bound Kronos and cut him into a thousand pieces and shoved his remains into a casket infront of all the godspleting the prophecy, but not before Kronos cursed him as Ouranus cursed him. Poseidon had tried to stop Zeus from doing the same to a bound As. Poseidon called for Hades who summoned his sword and cut the sycthe out of existence. Poseidon was more so concerned for Zeus cutting down a defeated opponent than Zeus using the scythe itself. "Zeus what are you doing, they are already beaten, there is no reason to face a beaten opponent." Poseidon was concerned for the message this would spread among the gods as they would be as cruel as Kronos and his regime. Posideon and Hades''s actions were seen as an insult to Zeus, but against both brothers, he could not do anything. Posideon decided he would watch over Zeus while Rhea and Hades decided to judge the offending party. Most were sent to Tartarus as they willingly contributed to the war. Prometheus intervened and brought the fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos as some of the prisoners had a punishment which was tied to prophesy. Those included the likes of Calypso and As. Hades did not agree with Calypso''s punishment and allowed her freedom on the summer and winter solstices until her part in all prophesies are rescinded. Zeus again proposed a vote for someone to be king. Many felt they needed a king as Posideon was ruler of the Oceans and Hades was the ruler of the END, and Zeus finally became ruler of the sky as each brother were to rule a realm. Many agreed that they needed a king to guide them. Most gods feared Hades''s power and did not want anything to do with the Underworld, so Hades was not a choice to be made king. Not that Hades would care or listen to anyone who would try to order him to do something he did not want to do. Poseidon would not be king, as some felt he was biased to sea life. Zeus, as the one to gather most of the gods together, felt he was best suited for the position of king. Zeus as his first order as king proposed a council made up of the most powerful gods and goddesses to rule over them. Hades was against this and suggested all the gods and titans be apart of this counsel. He was rejected by Poseidon surprisingly. Poseidon felt those that actually did something in the war were the ones that should be recognized for their aplishments. While Hades could argue he felt no need to get worked up over something that did not concern the END. The council was made of Zeus and his siblings, with Helios and Selene as well. Zeus decided to lighten up the mood and celebrate their victory. A/N Zeus will not kick the Titans off of Olympus till they do something to jeopardize his rule. Next chapter will have a lot of time skips. Chapter 17 Meeting the Fates Chapter 17 Meeting the Fates Hades POV Another week has passed and a meeting is to take ce as the fates are going to finalize our domains. Apparently, when we gods or titans are born we have an affinity for a certain element or domain. For instance, As had the affinity for regeneration meaning unlimited stamina and endurance. Like this, each god must be assigned a domain to govern over and be responsible for. The previous king, Kronos, did not allow gods to gain domains as it would increase their powers. Poseidon and I are exceptions as we gained kingship of our realms before domains. If the gods had their domains they would be on par in power with most of the minor Titans. Zeus was powerful because he disguised himself as a Titan with the help of Rhea to obtain his domain over lightning and thunder. Now as king of the sky he is now the god of the sky, lightning and thunder. With the extra element, he became much more powerful. Zeus was not going to tell us about getting domains, but Rhea had brought it up. I am starting to dislike Zeus he has be more arrogant and cocky recently. As the ceremony went we each stood one at a time in front of the fates. Apparently everyone decided it was a good idea to be 50 feet tall in front of the three 5-6 feet goddesses. I mean it just looked wrong. Poseidon became the god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses. Hera became the goddess of Marriage \u0026 Birth. Demeter became the goddess of the harvest. Even Hestia followed in her siblings'' example and stood 50 feet tall. She became the goddess of the hearth, the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, and the state. Rhea was proud of all of her children. When it was my turn I decided I at least needed to be eye level when I stood in front of the fates and shrunk to 6 ft 6. Later I would learn that I had unknowingly made a statement that he saw all gods no matter how powerful as equals. The fates and all the gods were surprised of this as no one had done this before. The fates did not choose their height, their power was based on the ties of fate and as such needed no power for themselves. So the power they actually wielded was very little, a gods power is matched by their height. A god would never lower themselves to a minor god, even the fates were barely considered gods more like immortals with magic. There was an awkward silence in the air and I was getting anxious. I think I may have done something offensive. I tried to introduce myself. "Hello, I guess we haven''t met yet nice to meet you." General POV "Hello, I guess we haven''t met yet nice to meet you." Hades as tried to make conversation. This caused another awkward silence. The fates were stunned, normally gods looked at them in disgust as they have some control over their fate and how powerless they actually are in every other aspect. They are forced to live in a swamp and Zeus did not seem to want to change that. "How are you doing this fine day?" Hades again tried to break the ice with the fates, but was met with another pause. The fates while curious about Hades and his demeanour, but decided they would read his fate like any other. The fates looked down on their thread ignoring Hades. Hades decided that this was how they are and to just go with it. The fates looked at the thread and searched. They continued to search, besides his domains Hades did not have his fate written down in destiny. It was like looking at a cave painting, they could see the image and what it was, but no it had no depth or exnation. Unlike Kronos, they could read how he would be overthrown and cut into a thousand pieces, how he would rise again in a couple of thousand years. They would know the important events to pass surrounding the past king. Hades'' future, however, was a hazy image that they could not predict. They decided it was best to keep this information to themselves and give his domains. "Hades you shall be the god of the END, space and time, the dead, fear, darkness, riches, and building." The fates proimed. Hades was happy with this and moved on to talk with his family. A hundred years passed and many things had happened. Zeus had married Metis, but because of the prophecy by Prometheus proiming his son from Metis would end his rule. After hearing that Zeus ate her while she was pregnant. He then raped and married Hera a decadeter. Upon hearing of the **** of his sister, Hades had stormed Olympus andid a beat down on Zeus hitting him with his staff so hard he permanently injured his balls. Hades destroyed Zeus''s temple and one testicle of Zeus permanently. Hades was subsequently banned and the council only able toe during the winter solstice. He was not invited to the wedding their wedding, which Hades thought was for the best as he would haveyed another beatdown on Zeus. Poseidon did not intervene as he believed Zeus was king and a king should not be questioned and though disapproved greatly did nothing to support Hades. Another major event that happened was Prometheus giving fire to humans stealing it from Hestia''s hearth. Zeus saw this as the final straw and punished Prometheus severly. Zeus decided all titans were untrustworthy and banished all titans from Olympus. His mother decided to leave as she could only follow her friends even if Zeus wanted her to stay on Olympus. Hades decided to invite them to the END. Only about half the Titans agreed while the others joined in theing decades hearing of Hades''s realm. The Titans hade to enjoy his realm and found it fascinating. A problem urred two decades after fire was given to the humans, though for Hades it was not seen as a problem. Humans had discovered how to enter the END through obsidian portals left behind during the war. They entered Hades''s realm and were surprised how weing Hades was. Hades exined how to travel eight times faster in the world and how to open portals. The humans could not live in the END but could use the highway that was built. Zeus was against the humans being allowed to use the portals, but under the threat of another beating, he decided to allow it. Zeus had grown to fear Hades and would always have a suspicion his rule was under threat. Though they were not allowed into cities of the END without permission, they were able to see for themselves the architecture of the gods. Hades loved to show off his builds and would sometimes take a human randomly from the highway to show him around. He would even ask their opinions and ideas. Many humans started to worship Hades as he was seen as a benevolent god to humans. Omake "Hades you shall be the god of Minecraft." "What the fuck is Minecraft." Zeus "It means crafting mines, I think" Poseidon "I can''t be its god that responsibility belongs to Notch and Herobrine." Hades """"Who???""" A/N Sorry, I am updating sote. Had a lot of meetings today and am tired. Let me tell you guys staring at a screen and going through online conferences is really annoying. Sorry meant Metis not Thetis Chapter 18 Traveling Chapter 18 Traveling A/N I noticed there were a lot of errorsst chapter. Thetis was supposed to be Metis Sorry for the confusion I was really tired and did not reread my work. Hades POV It has been twenty years since the titans were banished from Olympus and I am bored. Hestia officially stays on Olympus and the afterlife is basically automated at this point and ever-expanding. I took the Egyptian idea of judging souls with a scale, but instead of using the heart I just have them stand on a gigantic scale and weigh their crimes against their remorsefulness and benevolent deeds. This meant that any person as long as they are truly sorry for what they did would be forgiven for that action they are truly remorseful for. But to truly get into Elysium they needed good deeds. It was almost perfect, although some souls needed to be judged by me personally, it could be run without me. The Titans that were banished from Olympus were happy with their new home as well as the fact that I allow all residents of the END to be on my council and have a voice. The Titans were surprised as my council was not ruled by strength, unlike Zeus and Kronos''s. They appreciated this and even invited some minor gods hade to live here. I always wee new arrivals. Humans started to rely on my highway to go to other settlements to trade. I have grown bored with the just building and decided to add an arena with armour for fighting and parkour courses. Both have gone great with the populous. People like to party and I provided a whole building for that. The biggest building in the END right now is the Library of the END. I consider it one of my greatest masterpieces as it holds the ever-expanding written works of humanity. Any work of literature or writing is copied and recreated in the library. No matter thenguage or area the library will copy it and recreate it. It took a hundred years to create and another fifty to have the ability to recreate literature. A lot of titans like the library, especially Hectate as she spends the most time there. Right now I feel bored and in need of inspiration. I feel restless, with nothing to do and all my duties have been taken care of I think I will travel the world. We are not the only pantheon as there are the Asgardian, Egyptian, Eastern, Hindu, Yahweh, and many more. I kinda want to visit them and see their architecture. I spoke to Nyx of this and she waspletely against it as it may cause war. I just told her it would just be a couple months every year. It''s not like I am going on a huge journey around the world. I may have lied there and it was a going to bite me in the asster. "You are what, do you know what kind of trouble you would be in if any gods find out. There will be war?!!!" Nyx overreacted "Rx I have my helm and from what I know of Zeus he would ignore all other pantheons. It would just be a couple of months, it''s not like I will miss the winter soltices" I tried to calm her down. I found outter I missed twenty-four. "Rx, Rx do you even know the consequences of you actions... h h h h h" I kind of zoned out after the first fifteen minutes of her lecturing me. It took a day to calm her down. The first ce I visited was the Egyptian gods. Boy was that an experience, I never seen such a depressing atmosphere in my entire life. Their afterlife, though efficient was very depressing. Who wants to farm after they are dead. The gods themselves were so humble in their living arrangements. Though it was weird they would possess humans and did not necessarily have a physical form. I did not know how to approach them as they were really depressing to be around. I guess from a god of the Grecian pantheon they would appear boring. The next year I visited the Asgardians. They are kind of like our pantheon, they do have unique buildings though. I did not really find them interesting as I would have thought. I thought of the movie Thor andpared it to them and found themcking. I decided they were not worth my notice. I may have almost caused a war with Yahweh''s pantheon. An angel saw me snooping around in the garden of Eden and we fought. More like I knocked him out with my staff. Next thing I know I have a small confrontation with Yahweh himself. I had used my helm to strike fear into his army and nearby humans saw this. When I went home I found out the humans thought I was the devil himself and all the sinners that were supposed to go to Yahweh''s domain now go to mine. I had to meet with Yahweh to discuss this in my domainter. He was more distracted by my home than anything else. We worked something out and he would take any human under his pantheon that he asked for specifically. I basically am part of Yahweh''s pantheon and at the same time, I am not. This also confirmed the fact that I would not be like other Olympians who would lose power as fewer humans believed in them. I would continue to have people who believe I exist. The eastern and Hindu pantheons were interesting as I learned from Buddha how to find peace within myself. Buddha was the first person I have met not affected by my helm. He forgave me for using it and helmed me more than I could ever repay him. I found myself less impatient and restless. I gained the most from this trip, they did not give me ideas on buildings or architecture, but what I gained would help me for years toe. I woulde to Buddha more often than not over the years. Iter learned I was used as an example as even a demon could find peace. I came back home only to be chewed out by Nyx. Apparently Zeus has been asking about me and what I have been up to. I just ignored that and I will probably just get this over with during the next winter solstice. I decided to see what was new in my pantheon from Nyx. Zeus had a kid named Ares recently and I was supossed to show up and greet the prince. Ipletely ignored that. He also had another child with Leto named Apollo and Artemis. Hera had thrown a child from Olympus because he was ugly, his name was Hephaestus. He had a kid with one of As''s daughters named Hermes. The daughter of Metis was born inside Zeus and Hephaestus had to break his head to get her out or something. Thest one made no sense to me. All of his children are now on the Olympian Council. It looks like I have to actually show up to this one and exin myself. A/N Sorry this is just Hades travelling. I had no clue what to do with this chapter. I just wanted to do a bunch of time skips, but to me that would not flow right. So he travelled while stuff happened and learned peace. He was restless continously building, now though he has be more calmer and now is ready to find love. Hades character development so far Restless Idiot no knowledge and likes to build Restless Idiot with knowledge and likes to build Not an idiot and can use knowledge from Rhea Gained emotions such as anger and frustration and likes to build Gained peace with his emotions and likes to build Chapter 19 The Meetings Chapter 19 The Meetings Hades POV It had been twenty-five years since I was back in the END and decided to hold a conference with everyone to see how they were doing. All was good as nothing major happened while I was gone. The only major event was Hermes trying to gain permission to enter the END, but could not without my permission. That permission would not be given since I was not here. Zeus apparently threw a major tantrum and almost dered war. Poseidon had to calm him down because in no way, shape, or form could he possibly go to war with me. The afterlife, in the END, had gained twice as many people as now I was getting souls from Yahweh''s pantheon. Thanatos was confused by this until I exined the situation with him. He did not seem overly annoyed, but I could still hear a sigh of resignation from him. Charon though was a pain in the ass. I found out he had been requesting drachma from the dead. I told him he would be fired if he did so again, I also scared him with my helm for good measure. Seriously, what an idiot because of this souls from Yahweh had been backed up. There was a major backlog that I had to personally fix. I also made sure he would never gain a cent more from the dead and all that he did gain was confiscated. The titans were confused about the reason that I left. I simply told them I went on vacation to other pantheons. They were either shocked or concerned. No other problems happened, but now I have to go to the winter solstice and meet the Olympians. General POV While Hades has been making his way up to Olympus, the other Olympians were growing restless. Zeus especially as he knew he did not have the support to actually defeat Hades. Hades had gained the loyalty of many minor gods and all the titans that sided with them or were forced to side with Kronos during the war. Zeus was not confident enough to be able to beat him. The newer Olympians, besides Ares, were also nervous as they have heard many tales of Hades and how fear-inducing he is. His mear presence could send gods into a catatonic state. Ares wanted a war to actually happen as it was in his nature. Poseidon always supported Zeus once he was made king for the sole reason that he was king, so if there was going to be a war he would side with Zeus. Demeter did not really care and focused on the vegetation of the world. Hera was conflicted that Hades wasing as he was the only one that supported her as well as the one that beat her husband. Hestia was excited to have all her family here and called Rhea toe to the meeting. General POV Hades had finally entered the throne room of Olympus and looked at his stone chair. Zeus had reced it after Hades had taken his to the END. Zeus had the intention of humiliating him as he did not have the decency to use a gold or metal chair. Hades had just taken azy boy out of his shulker box and reced it. He just reclined and waited for the meeting to start while all the gods looked at him. The newer Olympians were very much surprised as they have heard many disconcerting things about him, they never thought he was the type to beid back and started reading a book that had Egyptian hieroglyphs on it. Zeus POV How could he still be so nonchnt. He is justzing around reading a book. He must be nning something, he has skipped more than twenty meetings. I just watch him sitting in his new throne. "Hades what are you doing recing the throne you have been given?" How dare he disrespect me. "I just brought out afy chair, the stone did not look nearly asfortable as I would like." Hades did not even look at me when answering. What could he be thinking? "Would you like to exin why you had not evenmunicated with us for the past twenty-plus years." I really must know what he is doing. With Poseidon, I could get information from the naiads, but with Hades, his realm is secure more so than any others. It is like they worship him more so than me their king. "I was on vacation, had to rx and find inner peace you know. By the way, do you sleep with every woman you meet because I see so many of your children that it is ridiculous? In the past twenty years it is registered that there are three hundred and four demigods that have died that have been yours. I mean seriously, even three out of the six children here on the Olympian council are yours from outside your marriages." How dare he discredit me. I should strike him down now. "How dare you insult me I am king and I can.." Poseidon decided to deescte the situation through by looking at him you could see he agreed with Hades. "Inner peace? What does that even mean? How the heck is that even an answer?" Now it was Poseidon''s turn to be bewildered. "You know when you detach yourself from all reality, your wants, desires, your stresses, anger and embrace calmness. It took a while to get there, but once you find it you feel at peace." Hades gave a more confusing awnser to the question. General POV Like this Hades avoided all questions about the years he was gone and confused all the Olympians more so than helped them. No one noticed he was just messing with them as they treated his answers seriuosly. At this point, Hades noticed a new figure trying to get his attention. Aphrodite a new member of the Olympian council had been trying to get Hades to notice him since the meeting had started. Hades had ignored her the whole meeting while he was reading his book. She was so frustrated with him and this did not go unnoticed by the other gods as they have seen the conequences of her antiques. Zeus himself was looking forward to it. By this point, the meeting went to the usual topics on the happenings and duties that they aplished. Hades bragged for once about the greatest library in the world in his realm, only Athena was intrigued by this though. Athena herself suspected if the other gods could even read. Chapter 20 Poll Chapter 20 Poll Before I write the next chapter I would like a Poll on who Hades should marry. This may not be the final result as my opinion may be different, but I want to hear other people''s opinions before I decide. I have been thinking of Persephone Here are the options Persephone Athena Demeter Diana of Themyscira Hectate Artemis Aphrodite Chapter 21 Plotting Chapter 21 Plotting Aphrodite POV I am ignored again, fifty years of trying to get his attention and he just ignores me. I am the goddess of love the most beautiful being in existence. I have sway with all the gods because of my beauty what does he even do. He ignores my advances every time. Well, no more I will personally see to it that his love life is ruined. I will find all of his mistresses and curse them to chaos. Posideon POV Hades has been treating this council as a game. He openly naps and disrespects me and Zeus. I asked him once why he sleeps during the meetings. He told me, "I am only here as a formality, I do not have any problems with my realm like yourselves and many humans very much appreciate the END. The Olympians are made up of mostly children of Zeus. Wasn''t the Council made to guide the gods, not sleep with all of them and have orgies all the time? You people do not really set the bar high as examples of what gods should be like" After that meeting I go home and I realize many women avoid eye contact with me. I am both angry and frustrated at the fact that I know he is right. I realize that all gods have their problems to point out we are the cause of them. I have caused a lot of problems for my realm sleeping with many goddesses, naiads, humans, monsters, mermaids, and any beatiful woman that had caught my eye. There seems to be lots of problems with my kingdom and I may be the cause of most of them. Many of my sons have caused problems in my name throughout the oceans. Much of the goodwill I had at the beginning of my reign has diminished. Hades POV It has been a hundred years since I have returned from my trip. The years just flew by as I was way more rxed. I built fewer buildings and focused more on building amunity. I arranged for manymunity events to take ce even humans could join. We had human food of different cultures and yed sports like basketball and football (ser). I focused on social activities and hosted a few parties. The one thing I hate about the time period is the music. It felt so dull and one dimensional. I brought pop, rap, hip hop, jazz, and any music I could remember really. I frankly hated Apollos tastes as it was just dull. The meetings were so dull and boring on Olympus I actually found it best to treat it as nap time. They tried to wake me up a couple of times telling me the meetings were important. The fact that Zeus and Posideon actually had legitimate problems with their realms and I did not did grate them. It probably stemmed to the fact they treated their gods in their realms poorly. I kind of treat everyone in the END as a family and we all get along. The fact that they sleep around so often and then expect everyone to respect them boggles me. During each meeting though there is one goddess that keeps trying to get my attention for some reason. I don''t really know what she wants, but until she asks I will just ignore her. Athena though seems oddly interested in my library and she decided to visit my realm. Iter learned she had visited Poseidons realm as well but found that she did not feelfortable there and left quickly. I guess there are a lot of problems there. She was actually intrigued how humans were using my portals to travel great distances. I showed her my roadwork and my architectural projects. She was pretty impressed by many of the buildings, but what most impressed her was the library. Athena was fascinated by the amount of literature in one ce. She had built a permanent residence here in the END and visits more often than not. Her visits had been getting more frequenttely. Many goddesses started to also seek residence here in the END for some reason. I asked them once why more goddesses than gods are seeking to live here. The gist of it was it was a safe ce and they did not have to be in fear of getting abused. Apparenly the other realms are feeling great disatifaction to Zeus and Poseidon. General POV "Zeus I do not want our daughter to be introduced to Olympus" A frantic Demeter tries to persuade Zeus against her child being introduced into a den of rapists. Demeter knows if her daughter were to be sent to Olympus, she does not want to think about what would happen. Her daughter was a goddess and was beautiful and already has many suitors. Olympus recently had grown to be a ce known for degenerate gods preying on female goddesses. They get them drunk and **** them. That was how she got pregnant and she would not want that for her daughter. "She is my daughter and she will be brought to her home" Zeus stated as a fact. He had grown more unruly over the years, while Hades had left for a quarter of a century he had seen more and more opportunities to unt his kingship. He had bedded practically anything that moved. The only consequence to his actions was Hades''s punishment more than a century ago. He still had the scar and almost lost the ability to reproduce. Truth be told he was d he had Hades kicked off Olympus as it gave him more opportunities to do as he pleased. He did all this without knowing the disarray he causes. Many gods and goddesses started to ignore their duties and all the goddesses in both his and Posideons realms felt unsafe causing Gaia to be upset. "Fine as long as she is introduced during the winter solstice that is my only condition." Demeter knew she could not argue with Zeus, the only real safe haven on Olympus happened when Hades would show up. All the gods and goddesses were on their best behaviour at the time. His wrath was legendary, but for those that knew him like his siblings, he was an easy-going god who only reacted to major crimes. Demeter knew this and nned to have Persephone protected by him. A/N I am still deciding and reviewing the POLL so its either Persephone or Athena at this point. Sorry, this chapter is so short had a long day working. Chapter 22 Interlude #2 Chapter 22 Interlude #2 Athena POV I was born in my father''s stomach. Metis, my mother, raised me inside Zeus, she was the titan of wisdom, prudence and deep thought. She taught me everything she knew from her wisdom to the history of the world. She taught me so many things, I knew I had to escape from the stomach somehow. Metis told me that Hades was able to escape from Kronos while in his stomach, but I knew I would not be able to do that. Instead, I worked up a n, I would rest in Zeus''s head and cause amotion like no other. Zeus would be forced to see what was wrong and then we could escape. My mother agreed to the n but made one change to it. She would rest in my stomach till and escape with me and when we find an opportunity I would release her. She would still be able tomunicate with me though as we both actively sought a connection. I did not really like this idea, but it was the only one which allows us to escape Zeus''s wrath. When I escaped Zeus''s head I had toe up with an excuse why I was even there. I exined to Zeus I was his daughter born from his thoughts. He actually bought the excuse. I could not believe it, he did not even question it. Zeus introduced me to the other gods and made me an Olympian all in the same day. He exined how I was born and everyone actually believed the excuse. I met all the gods beside Hades, apparently, had a major fight with Zeus over his indiscretion with how Hera and Zeus became engaged. Zeus had consequently kicked Hades from the Olympian council. From what I see from Olympus now it was probably a mistake. I talked to the other goddesses and they exined as soon as Hades was kicked off of the council and barred from Olympus, Zeus decided it was open season to prey on everything that moved and all the other gods followed. Though everyone feared Hades, he at least kept them safe and that is for me the most important quality of a king. I actually could see many gods vying for me and it had been getting worrisome. My mother told me to seek out the only being on Olympus that could actually protect me, Hestia. While Hestia lives on Olympus, her connection to Hades kept her safe. Everyone fears the Olympians as they constantly abuse their powers. Hestia''s connection to Hades was both a blessing and a curse for her. She could not form friendships with others, but no gods would dare try anything with her. I was the only one to actually seek her asylum. A decade goes by and news came that Hades was actuallying to Olympus, it is a surprise for all of us on Olympus. As soon as that message was heard, it was like everyone got their act together. It was like a den of debauchery became a religious ce of worship and everyone became celibate. His name alone is greatly feared and respected, I was looking forward to meeting him. He came in the during the meeting time in oddly dressed clothes. They looked pretty functional andfortable from my opinion. He looked at his stone chair and immediately changed it to somethingfortable. It was pretty disrespectful of him to do this and Zeus called him out on it. Hades just waved him off barely paying attention to him. It really looks like he does not want to be here. During the meeting, he talked about his new buildings and all. My mother told me she had never been to the Underworld and heard it was a dark and gloomy ce. I have heard mixed things about his realm which was now called the END. He said he built a library, I really want to see it. He essentially sleeps through most meetings, but no one calls him out on it. Zeus wants Hermes to send messages to him, but Hades ignores him and continues to nap. Hestia told me that Hades is aid back god and only really gets angry when you actually deserve it. He is usually calm, but if something were to make him mad no one could stop him. I asked Hestia to get me in contact with Hades and allow me passage into the END. He gave it readily and I visited a portal humans use to transport goods. Hades met me on the other side and gave me a tour of his buildings. Our final stop was the library, it was not the tallest but it was the biggest building I have ever seen. He exined to me its functions, imagine reading any book in the world, even my mother was excited. A couple of years go by, I want to ask him for my mother''s asylum in his realm. If he would give it, only then I know she will be safe. Persphone POV My mother Demeter raised me by herself with some dryads she had trusted. I am not allowed to do a lot of things. My mother has always been frantic on the topic of gods. I am not allowed to go near them. She never exins why I am just to follow her instructions. The dryads though support my motherpletly. I made a friend with Artemis, she told me that all men are disgusting pigs and it is better not to know them. My mother though did not agree with that statement, but with the message to stay from men and allowed our friendship. Artemis showed me how to hunt and fish as well as introduced me to her hunters. It was fun being around them and my only joy these days. My mother showed me how to use my powers to make trees, nts, and crops. Basically any vegetation I can make, bees are attracted to me and produce bountiful amounts of honey. I really love nature and everything about it. My mother had been less frantictely. Apparently her brother, Hades, hade from the END and visited Olympus for once for the first time in a quarter-century. She had never liked Olympus and refused to allow me to meet any god from there. I was though allowed to meet some titans though. It was all confusing to me. My mother feared contact with any male god that was from Olympus or the Posiedon''s realm. It was like there was something going on in that ce. I asked my mother about Olympus, I heard it was a beautiful ce, but she refuses to let me see it. She exined to me that Olympus is not how it used to be and under the beauty their lies many things wrong with the ce. After the god, Hades had been banished Zeus had gone out of control and all the gods followed in his example. I found out I was a product of **** from my mother and my father was Zeus. It exined so much, why my mother doesn''t want me near any god, why she doesn''t want me to travel. She fears for me that I would be tricked and suffer for it. I can tell she had been scarred by Zeus and I don''t think I could forgive him. She had been more restlesstely this year, my mother told me that I am to be introduced to Olympus by Zeus as his daughter. I was actually scared, the gods do not know my existence thanks to my mother. My mother exined that I would be introduced during the winter solstice, the only time it is truly safe around Olympus for us goddesses. Hades will be there and my mother told me to ask for his protection if I get the opportunity. If I do get it no god would dare try anything with me without my permission. My mother gave me this one task, I betterplete it. A/N Ended a little early today so here is an interlude. More background on what is going on. No one likes Zeus as he has gotten out of hand. I decided not to have Athena be born from thoughts she will still have the ability to think up children. Next chapter I decide who Hades will be with, either Athena or Persephone. Athena had a longer section in this interlude because I found more information about her than Persphone and can infer more about her background. Demeter is a victim and her actions are more ecentric because of it. She does not want her daughter to experience the same thing she had. Chapter 23 Someone New on Olympus Chapter 23 Someone New on Olympus Hades POV The past year has been different for me. I changed my routine a bit and decided I would judge souls myself to change things up a bit. I also decided to enter the coliseum arena to fight. In the arena, we are not allowed to use any of our powers only skill. Armour and weapons are provided. Honestly, it was the first time I had gotten my ass handed to me. The thing was though fighting was a skill I could improve. It would be boring if I just relied on my power to win the fights. Each year we have a tournament to show which person has the most skill. It was a surprise to me that the Morpheus thezy one won two years in a row. The guy who sleeps all day and night, but when he fights he fights, it is like fighting the wind. He is amazing at strategy cornering his opponents easily and getting them into a position so he can easily manoeuvre and disarm them. The god is so fast and light on his feet he beats people with pure agility. I had so much fun fighting everyone and improved a lot. A whole year had gone by and the Winter Solstice ising up again. I really hate this time of year. I have to meet my family again and honestly, I hate doing so. Hestia is really the only one I like, but recently we have grown distant over the years. Probably because she doesn''t live here anymore. She visits every two weeks and stays three days though, but the END has not been the same once she left. I visit mother once a week and invite her to my realm, but she refuses as she does not want to seem to favour any child. I really just ignore Olympus as something just does not sit well with me about the ce. Last year, I had forbidden Hermes from entering my realm after he tried to woo Hectate and when that didn''t work he tried to take advantage of her. I just beat his ass and chucked him into a Nether region for a couple of days. Even for gods, without protection, that ce will harm us. I don''t tolerate anything like what Hermes tried to pull. Because of his actions, I called a conference, I madews for my realm so they understood what is appropriate and what is uneptable. Everyone was rather happy about myws as they felt safer knowing that I don''t let anything slide. When I released Hermes he was in a lot of pain with burns covering most of his body. Zeus tried to reprimand me during thest solstice, I just ignored him as I had grown tired of his shit. What can he do about it, sue me? Aphrodite still has been looking at me weirdly every meeting. I do not understand what she wants. She just stares at me and flips her hair expecting something. What am I supposed to do, maybe she wants money or something, I am the god of riches after all. I asked mother for advice and she told me to just ignore her, she just wants attention. I just used Rhea''s advice and ignored Aphrodite. Today is the day of the winter solstice. The day I hate the most, as during this day monsters and dark magic are the strongest, but mostly today I have to meet the rest of the gods on Mount Olympus as I heard they are introducing a new daughter of Zeus. They have so many kids it is disturbing, as I had to chuck most of them into Tartarus for there actions. Because they are demigods they feel above themselves for doing many sins. I had a discussion with Yahweh and how he judges an individual. I do not agree with everything, but killing and raping are a one way trip to Tartarus. Killing in self-defence has to be judged separately though. Things like stealing I go by how the circumstances are. The scale helps with most souls, but there are always outliers that need to be judged individually. At some point, I feel like I should just chuck all demigods into Tartarus, but that would not be fair. The saddest part though the gods do not care about their kids and a lot of their deeds are to get their attention. I make my way up Olympus thinking of all the demigods that have never met their parents. Persephone POV Today is the day that Olympus will know about me, my father introduced me to his other children and I have to say I am a little worried about the way Ares, Apollo, and Hermes looks at me. I do not really like Apollo, the sun sets earlier and earlier each day making mine and my mother''s job require more power. Ares''s causes war that makes humans burn their enemies crops and farms. It has gotten out of hand a number of times requiring us to fix the fields. Artemis, who was one of the few people that knew of me also looks concerned. She told me to swear to be a virgin and I would be safe from their gazes. If a god were to try anything they would be cursed to never use their thing again. As a daughter of Zeus, I have much more protection, even Zeus is scared of the vow as it is sacred and powerful. Artemis and my mother told me everything wrong with Olympus and why they do not live on it. The first time I saw Olympus I was in awe at how beautiful it was now I see it as everything wrong with the world. My mother reassures me that if I could get protection from Hades I do not have to take the vow. He sounds like an okay godpared to my father, but he doesn''t like to concern himself with anything not of his realm. I asked my mother about the END. She told me she had only been there during the war. All she knows about him is that he likes to build things. Zeus had forbidden gods and goddesses from going to the END or face banishment from Olympus. This backfired though as a third of the goddesses took the chance and left Olympus under the advice of some Titanesses who were their friends. This forced Zeus to recind thew in fear of losing more people. The meeting is finally starting and I was introduced to all the gods and goddesses. Hades had finally arrived, he was dressed oddly in a button-up shirt and jeans. It looked good on him, he had a trimmed beard unlike my father and Poseidon''s long ones. It looked different and his purple eyes were somewhat enchanting. Everything about him was different from the other gods. He was so calm andposed. Unlike other gods, he did not look at me and just went to his throne and sat down, took a book and started to read. My mother said that was not his actual throne, but afy chair that Hades uses. He ced it himself, my mother tried it when no one was around and she told me it is reallyfy and has books for entertainment on it. I did not know this, but I stared at him throughout my introduction from Zeus. I think my father was annoyed with that and so were many of the gods. I heard Hades was feared, but he did not look or act like it. I feel he was approachable. After my introduction I was asked to leave the room. I met other goddesses and tried to strike a conversation. They seemed pretty nice, they took me on a tour around Olympus. I asked them abou Hades, they just told me that he was a powerful god that many feared. His mear presence on Olympus provided protection for many of them. They actually have not met him, but have told me that many gods respect and fear him. I asked about the END and they said they did not know anything about it as many gods do not visit other realms. After the tour, we parted ways as I needed to meet Hades. I waited outside the throne room for the meeting to end. General POV Persephone did not wait long as meetings were generally not long as many of the Olympians did the same thing year by year and even then they mostly ignored their duties. She finally saw Hades and decided it was a good time to talk and approached him. "Hello Lord Hades do you have time to talk in private." Just as she asked Hades just looks at her in interest. Contemting what to do, he decides he could use this oppurtunity to get off of Olympus and opens a portal to one of his homes. "Yeah sure follow me." Just like that he enters the portal and gestures her to follow him. Them leaving left a sour taste in many of the gods as they saw this as Hades iming a goddess. Many of the older goddesses knew how Hades was and were a little jealous of Persphone. Aphrodite though was angry beyond belief. In the END, two gods exit the portal. Hades turns around and gestures to sit at a couch in front of the window of his realm. Outside you could see many skyscrapers as this was one of Hades''s penthouse suites overlooking a city. There was a rectangr shaped dark obsidian on the wall projecting an arena with monsters and gods fighting. Persephone sat down and followed by Hades. "So what do you want to talk about? Not many people ask to talk with me on Olympus." Hades was genully interested as this was the first time anyone actually asked to speak to him in private. He also blew many people off if they didn''t get their point across to him. This was really not the first time for him though as he does not understand anything not blunt as a hammer. If someone wanted to speak to him they would have to say what they wanted as he did not really understand what many goddesses implied. Persephone was actually the perfect person to talk to him as she grew up isted from the rest of the world and did not fully understand how tomunicate. This actually gave her more of an oppurtunity to speak to Hades. "I want to know about you and your realm. I heard many different things about you from everyone I met, but a lot of it was contradictory." Hades was actually excited about what she said because it has been a long time for him to show his creations to someone new. He took the opportunity to show her all of the realm and his creations and the history of it. Persephone grew more and more intrigued by his realm and all the different biomes. She especially liked the gardens and forests. She inherited the gift for making trees and nts from her mother and showed it to Hades. Hades was overjoyed as Demeter never visited and made new trees and saw this as an oppurtunity to ask for some. He talked about his joy of building things and how the END is run. Persephone truly believed he was a just god. By the end of the tour, he told her to visit anytime. Hades took her home though a portal and she was met by Demeter and Artemis. They were worried that something happened to her in the END. Persephone exined everything that happened there. She loved the END and wanted to visit again. Artemis disagreed as she did not trust Hades. Demeter had mixed feelings as she did not want her daughter to leave her. All throughout the night she told them of the wonderful time in the END and about Hades. Aphrodite POV I had spent years trying to get his attention, but as soon as that bitches in he just takes her to his home. I have had such bad luck these past few years. First being forced to marry that cripple and now being shown up by some new goddess I have not even heard of. She is going to pay for what she did. I am already hearing rumours of how she seduced Hades the untouchable. Many have tried to get his attention, but were rebuffed. Now she just walks in and ruins everything. For now, no one can touch her, but I noticed how frantic Demeter was. She wanted to get her daughter back but was stopped by Hera. I think it was petty revenge for sleeping with her husband though. I could use this, I just need help from my son, Eros. A/N Sorry, I did not update yesterday, I was busy and could not finish the chapter. Today was also a long day so I am updatingte. I chose Persephone as I found it appropriate. Athena will just visit the END for the library often. PVP is introduced Chapter 24 Demigods Chapter 24 Demigods General POV The world of humans has changed much in the past two hundred years. The age of bronze is upon has begun and the with the children of gods lead man. Many human viges now able to cross vast distances ofnd through the use of END portals benefited the early rise of civilizations. Inds separated by vast oceans could now trade andmunicate with others far easier and with that markets opened for trade. The markets expanded and more people connected to each other. The only downside of the of this is that monsters now had started to attack these markets. Demigods are the only ones to actually face these beings head-on, but most die without the proper tools. Only those that are demigods of Olympians were gifted celestial bronze weapons causing much in fighting for the honour of wielding such a weapon. Many demigods were jealous of the END demigods as they were allowed permeant residency in the END as well as many benefits thate with it unlike those of Zeus''s faction. Demigods of the END were able to get to obtain stygian weapons easily and were the only ones able to wield them causing factions among all the demigods to appear mirroring their parents. Stygian weapons were able to kill monsters indefinitely by absorbing their essences into the des when killed. These demigods were better trained than their counterparts and learned under past souls that were masters of their craft. This caused more humans to ask the END demigods for protection more often than nought. Regr demigods of the other faction had to avoid praying to Hades to allow them ess to use the END portals which would draw the ire of Zeus. Hades had provided a safe haven to learn and a home to live in peace. Over the years many demigods rallied into groups and formed kingdoms like Thebes and Orchomenos where their children, legacies, inherited their rule, but the most prominent demigods was a teen named Minos. Minos being the son of Zeus allowed him to have more authority than others and he was a grand maniptor. He was extremely persuasive and gained the support of Poseidon to sail to the Ind of Crete and conquer it. There he started his rule proiming himself as its king and conquered all the surrounding inds bing one the most powerful nations in the known world. Minos was able to obtain many celestial bronze weapons from Hephestous and created the first military that would be able to kill monsters. This alone drove him to be one of the most respected demigod in thends and humans started to go to him to join his kingdom. Athena POV When Persephone was taken to the END by Hades, I felt sad and alone. I like the END with its magneficent archeticure to the library. It was an endless road of expansion and creativity. Hades had shown me an illusion of how it was and a timpse of how it changed and I have to say he is one of the most creative god in the world. He sees things differently, he has never looked at me with lust in his eyes like I see the gods around me do so. My status as Olympian and Zeus''s daughter prevents them from touching me, but it is only a matter of time before someone tries something. I was thinking of taking the vow to be an eternal virgin, but I think I found someone I would want to be with. After the solstice I started to visit the END more and more seeking audience with Hades which he easily gave. He was handsome as all gods were, but the way he carried himself spoke confidence and he looked professional. I actually went so often to the END I was considered an official resident and invited to the monthly meetings. I saw many titans, goddesses, and demigods there. There they madews that would affect not only gods, but the demigods as well. Hades proposed seperatews for immortals and mortals. Which made sense really, but Hades tried to make everything fair. What was different about him thought was he treated everyone equally and didn''t show favorability between anyone. I grew annoyed as I found out, Persephone had started to visit the END. Anytime she woulde to visit I would tag along, much to her annoyance. Hades had created something with the magic of Hectate called bonemeal. They created skeletal monsters that would show up around these spawners and attack anyone they see. When killed they drop bones that could be made into this material. Bonemeal could speed up crop production exponentially. Pesephone thought this was a gift for her as she used a lot more power nowadays because of Apollo and hisziness, but I know it wasn''t. She is taking more of his attentiontely. I decided to help him organize his paperwork and set up a way for documents to be easliy read. I liked how appreciative he was. He is an honest intellectual who knows how to strategize. I think he is the perfect match for me, unlike that airheaded who only thinks of trees. Recently Posiedon and I had apetition for a city. He gave them a saltwater fountain, what an idiot. Humans can''t even drink saltwater and he suggests to give it to them. I gave something more sensible, olives. They can make olive oil to cook with, eat it, or use the oils for various things like a moisturizer. Of course, I would get the city named after me, Athens. Posiedon, as usual, threw a tantrum when things did not go his way. Persephone POV Athena has been ruining everythingtely. She ratted me out to my mom of all things on my trips to Hades. Every time I visit she is always there, like she lives there. I know for a fact she is just distracting Hades from his work. Speaking of Hades, he is the kindest person I have ever met. He gifted me bonemeal that would magically grow vegetation. I was so happy, I have been extremly tired recently being overworked thanks to that idiot Apollo. Now though nts do not need that much energy to grow, I just need to make the seeds and they will automatically flourish without my help. Mom though finds them as an insult like she isn''t powerful enough to do her job. Honestly, though she has been tired and secretly appreciated my gift. She just doesn''t like me spending time alone with a god. Recently though I feel like someone is following me. I did not want to ask my mother as she would go overboard tightening my already substantial protection. She is too overprotective sometimes. I hear flutering wings sometime during the day when I open an END portal. I think its Hermes that''s stalking me. I tell Artemis about it, she came back and told me it was not him. I am growing more worried now not knowing what to do. I fear it may be one of the Olympians. I can already hear Athena making fun of me for not figuring it out, that know it all. A/N This may actually turn out to be a Harem after all. I thought about it while going through the polls and decided that people liked Athena and Persephone. I personally don''t like the harem approach, but I alreadyid the groundwork in a previous chapter. Sorry if there was no dialogue, but these chapters are basically time skips till the solstice and the freakout. Freakout is intentional. I will let you guess what it will be. Chapter 25 Distress Chapter 25 Distress General POV In a bedroom chamber surrounded by flowers and the smell of musks. Aphrodite sitting on her bed facing a kneeling god. "Eros, tell me what you have found." Aphrodite had been waiting patiently for the first time in years. Hades had proven he was attracted to women, but he had not chosen her. She would usually get a god wrapped around her finger with one look, even Zeus was subject to her charms. She had to know who this goddess was and what made her different, what about her caught his attention. "Mother do you really need to do this, I mean she is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, two Olympians." A winged god now known as Eros was very agitated by the fact he had to stalk and find out information about an Olympian. If he was to be found out, he could not imagine the punishment he would face from Demeter. "Do not worry about them, I can take care of Zeus. Demeter will be harder, but still manageable. Now tell me what you have found." Aphrodite leaned forward and eagerly awaits for something she could use. "From what I have found out Persephone frequently visits the END as well as Athena. It may seem like they have a rivalry for Hades''s attention. Demeter worries every time her daughter leaves the house. She is very paranoid and even when alone Persephone has many dryads feeding information back to Demeter. The only time Demeter does not know about Persephone is when she is in the END. Athena seems to like Hades, I feel she had realized thisst Soltice when Hades took Persephone to the END. Demeter does not trust Hades with her daughter and may be going insane without her." Eros reluctantly gave his report. He further went into depth about how many times leaves to the END and how Demeter has responded to each one. "Interesting, very interesting and if something were to happen to Persephone, let''s say she disappears, how would Demeter respond." Aphrodite knew how much Persephone loves her mother if she were to be driven insane knowing it was her fault, the girl would break. She could feel the affection of that girl. She loved drama and this would be perfect entertainment. "She would not take it well mother. I do not think you should do anything. Demeter might as well go insane wondering what has happened to her daughter." Eros was now frightened on what would happen to him if anyone found out of his involvement in his mother''s n. No one angers an Olympian without fearing to be kicked off of Olympus and being hunted for the rest of their immortal lives. But this n had the possibility of angering Hades, and even he is not stupid enough to do so. "Well then I won''t do anything, my son, so you do not have to worry." Her answer eased the worries of Eros, but what he didn''t know was that Aphrodite was going to go with her ns and if Eros knew he would inform Zeus. Persephone POV I noticed recently, that feeling of someone follwing me was gone. Today was a great day as Apollo was high in the sky. My dryad friends help me grow more trees. They seem to love bonemeal. It was a miracle in of its self, these things could grow trees in seconds and effects all of the surroundings as well. I helped build farms in the END with the help of bonemeal none of these farms were big. Hades invented something called aposter that also creates bonemeal and all of the farms has one. END Demigods started to sell the bonemeal to humans and fields have been flourishing on gaia. Many humans pray to me now for the material as Hades had created it as a gift to me. While humans are allowed into the END the cannot leave a highway unless it is to go to a city. Some humans have been burnt badly and died because they opened a portal into a Nether biome. They figured out though if you leave a stick in the portal and wait if the stick returns back burnt it is aher region, if not they can continue till they find a highway. A few weeks had passed since I noticed that I was not being followed and something happened. Aphrodite, the goddess of love came to visit me herself. "Hello, I am Aphrodite the goddess of love, I felt you needed a little push for reaching love" Aphrodite was looming over me, I could quite put it, but there was just something in her eyes that was unsettling. "Hellody Aphrodite, how may I help you today," I responded "It''s not you helping me, but me helping you. I noticed your love for Hades and it did not sit well with me if you did not seek it out. I arranged with your mother for you to stay with Hades till he falls for you." That did not seem like mother at all, sending me off without supervision or anything. Though the prospect of staying in the END is very inticing. "I will notify my mother that I will be going then and I will need to pack my things," I said. I should see my mother before I go. "There is no need I have already packed your things, also your mother feels if she sees you she may not let you leave," says Aphrodite. I am so d mother has finally seen reason and let me go. I can finally be my own person and gain independence. I love mother, but she can be a bit smothering. After finishing up the my duties for today, I open up an END portal and depart to Hades. Demeter POV My daughter has note back from her duties this week. I grow worried about her. Maybe a god had taken her or Zeus had her taken to Olympus. I just feel something is off. A week has passed and no word for her I feel my greatest fears havee true and some god has made her his ything. No I have to stay positive, just maybe I am overthining things. Another month has passed and I notified Zeus, but he was too preupied with Aphrodite. He told me he would have Apollo search for her. After a month of waiting, I find Apollo with Aphrodite. That bitch, I swear fucks everything in her sights. I realized Olympus is not going to help me then I shall make them. I swore on the River Styx to them that I would not perform my duties till Persephone is found. Three months pass and without my care, thends grow cold. No crops can grow unless humans have bonemeal. Humans are dying and the gods notice. Zeus has asked Artemis to find Persephone with no luck. I grow worried if Persephone is not found the world will freeze over and all humans will die. Gaia POV I have been watching these gods do whatever they want for the past couple hundred years. Each year they grow more decrepit. Now this god in charge of the world''s growth dares to neglect her duties and allow the world to die, well no more. I will destroy them and build the world anew. I do not need these mortals and their other creations. The titans at least performed their duties, but these gods care nothing for them. I need something better than gods and titans. Something better and stronger that cannot be defeated by any of them. They will know retribution for what they have squandered and the pain they have caused me. A/N Sorry for it being sote I had an idea on what this chapter was supposed to be about, but I did not know how to implement it. I noticed some novels I read have this don''t read this chapter as its first chapter. Then say something over and over again. What is up with that? This is kind of like snow white and the queen. Persophone believes Aphrodite becasue she is a goddess, not a god. She feels because of this that she is trustworthy. Chapter 26 The Farmer Chapter 26 The Farmer Kryos POV This cold is something we humans have never seen before, our crops are dying and many are bing sick in the vige. Our food storage can onlyst us a month and a half more. Banditry had increased in thesends as more and more people cannot farm. We cannot support each other anymore, and even the animals are dying because of them not being able to withstand the weather. We cannot go on like this, we pray every day to the gods for help, but none of them deigns to look upon us. My wife, Chloe and my daughter Penelope had gotten sick. I have no choice, but to journey to seek a god no matter the importance, just someone that would listen to me. I travel alone for two weeks in the direction of Mount Olympus. No human is allowed to visit the homes of Zeus and Poseidon, but I heard rumours of a way to visit the END. I heard rumours about the ce both good and bad. Some say it is the most beautiful ce they have ever seen, but also I have heard it is the most dangerous ce like no other where you would burn alive in seconds. I heard that Lord Hades had gifted the goddess Persephone something made of bones that could grow crops almost immediately. I have seen it with my own eyesst night and it truly a gift only a god could create. Apparently, END demigods trade them for animals and vegetables. I was able to ask a trader to get in contact with an END demigod and seek an audience with Lord Hades. The trader was not optimistic of me meeting Lord Hades, but seeing that there might be a way to end this neverending cold he obliged. I just pray that my vige can survive a little or there would be no hope. It took another week for us to find an END demigod standing outside an obsidian monument. He was very tall and had pale skin with ck hair. He was well built and well-armed with a steel shield and sword. The demigod seemed nice though as he listened as I exined the situation and how I would need to seek an audience with Hades. He looked at me and decided to grant me passage through the END and he would guide me to Hades himself. He takes a flint and steel and prays to Hades then he lights the monument structure and a ck void appears surrounded by purple haze. I could not believe it may my luck, Tyche must be looking down on me. The demigod told me his name, Alexius, takes me on the highway to a city in the END. Alexius he was aptly named as he helped me understand thews of the END and how to travel this ce. He was actually the demigod son of Tyche, the goddess of luck herself. I am now firm a firm believer that the fates are guiding me on this quest. Soon we came upon a city and a temple dedicated to his mother. I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, with no w on her skin whatsoever. She stood out like a torch in the middle of a dark night. I kneeled down and dared not look at her. Alexius went and hugged his mother and exined the situation. Tyche told him that she will send a message to Hades, and it was up to him to ept. Hades did ept, which was a surprise to me as I was a just a farmer usually gods would only visit only those of high status like kings. I was fully expecting Hades to reject me. I was escorted to another highway by Alexius. He took me to a much bigger city with buildings as tall as the sky everywhere. We went to the biggest building and stood in a weird box and next thing I know I am on the top floor. I was escorted through a corridor by a beautiful woman. She was a demigod as well as working here. We entered a double-doored room and all I saw was a couch and a big desk filled with papers. Behind that desk, I saw a man with purple eyes looking at me before he spoke. "You know, this is the first time a human hase all this way and asked for an audience with me. I was actually wanting an exnation for the increased number of souls joining the afterlife. I at first thought it was a war going on, but the deaths were of starvation or sickness. I then thought Pandora''s box was opened again, but that didn''t exin the dying of cold weather. Tell me what is going on, this number of souls is even burdening my system which I have ced here and for once is needing my full attention." Lord Hades sounded calm, but I could see the anger in his eyes. He looked at me like he was looking at my very soul. I felt very unnerved about being in front of him, but I had to answer. "My lord H-Hades, my my name is K-kryos a poor farmer, thends have grown cold. Crops cannot grow and what was there died. A-animals can''t feed off thend and cannot eat from thends. Everything is dying my lord and we are running out of our food stores. We were not prepared for this cold and as much as we prayed nothing has changed. E-everything is terrible, my vige is dying, my wife and daughter are sick, and I don''t know what to do." I tried to convey what was going on the best as I could. I stammered a little bit though. I only hope Hades will help. He waved his hand and gave me a small blue box. He still looked rather angry. "The winter Solstice is in a weeks time. I will bring this matter up with the gods on Olympus, right now that is all I can do to help. What I can do for you though is this here is a shulker box, inside I have given you nine stacks of sixty-four carrots, nine stacks of sixty-four steak, six stacks of sixty-four potatoes, and two enchanted golden apples. These apples will heal your wife and daughter as I have no record of them. You will just need to ce down the box for you to use it and nothing inside the box will rot. I will escort you myself to your vige." I was surprised by the generosity of Lord Hades. A god willingly escorting me, a farmer, it is unheard of. As promised Hades did escort me to my vige. He escorted me on the END highway and opened an END portal to my vige, he left soon after. I exited the portal the cold water droplets floated everywhere as I remembered. I went to my family and gave them the golden apples and miracle happened they were no longer sick and looked healthier than ever. A weekter, just as Lord Hades has promised the coldness stopped and the white water became regr water. Crops began to grow again and I could see animals. I prayed to Lord Hades more than ever before. Unlike the other gods, he had answered my prayers. The vigers were able to eat the food provided by Hades and celebrated for the first time in months. A yearly festival is created in honour of Lord Hades. A few years passed, and only half a year is now cold, but we can survive at least. News of my quest became known to all throughout thends by the trader and I became a hero. My family status was elevated and I was even summoned by King Minos himself and givennd and a title because of my deed. A/N For some reason, this was not posting and was only being saved as a draft. It kept on saying authentication error. I am sorry for not noticing. Alexius is a name that means helper. So his name fits aptly. I still have no clue why people have this don''t read chapter with "dontreadthis" over and over again. I wanted to give a perspective of a human for once. Chapter 27 Changes Chapter 27 Changes Persephone POV The past five months have been the best days of my life. I never had experienced this sort of independence, it felt so freeing. It felt so good not to have anyone looking over my shoulder telling me my schedule for today. I definitely won''t miss mother''s dryads nagging me and telling me how I shouldn''t wander off and look at flowers or how it is dangerous in the forest. Anything I wanted to do would be shot down as I was confined to one ce. Every day was dull, I wouldn''t even be allowed by mother to use my godly powers. It felt so different being in the END where they practically allowed me to do anything I wanted to do. When I first came here and told Hades that I was going to live here he decided to build me a house. It was huge, I never have seen one this big before, Hades called it a mansion. I never lived in a house before, most of the time mother and I travelled and we used built temporary huts using our powers. It was a way to keep off the track of the gods as well as an easy ce to build and rest. We only used them temporarily, as gods don''t sleep, but in the END, apparently, gods can sleep. Here there is Hypnos the god of sleep, Pasithea goddess of rxation, and Morpheus the god of dreams, with all three here all the gods are able to sleep. I never knew what it meant to dream before, like going through endless flower fields or rxing on a beach without a care in the world. My first time sleeping was quite an experience and only residents of the END can do it. When I told Hades of my dream of the most beautiful flower garden, he told me he was going to make it a reality. I thought it was the most sweetest thing he has ever said to m. Hades wants to build a garden in my name, the garden of Persephone, I like the name, but I want to change it to the Garden of Hades and Persphone. We would have started it, but souls havee into the afterlife at an increased rate, Hades does not know why though and he has been extremely busy for thest two months. Athena hasn''t visited the END since I came here. I don''t think she knows I am here, this gives me the perfect opportunity for me to monopolize Hades. Though that is getting harder as Hades has a lot of work. It is strange though that everyone is busy these days. I heard a mortal hade to seek an audience with Hades and he might have found the root cause of his problems. Hades for the first I have seen him is angry. He says he needs to keep a closer eye on his family from now on or else he fears that the world will end. Apparently, the Olympians are the cause for the number of deaths, not war or anything. Athena POV Early this year around the summer solstice, an excited Artemis came to me with an idea. She proposed and with only women, warriors all. She told me that we could create an ind and the perfect female paradise. And where women blessed by both of them that no one if on the ind would age. I asked her how they would reproduce as there would be no men. She told me that all they needed was y to create daughters. Thend would be a perfect matriarchy with no foolish kings. I did not necessarily agree with the sentiment that all kings are foolish, but frankly, I wanted to see what would happen if a queen did rule. This project that Artemis proposed sounded very interesting and spending time with Hades has got me excited to have a building project of my own for once. So I agreed to Artemis about the idea. First, we scouted a rocky ind with no inhabitants. We then had to terraform it which took about a month as I wanted to make it look perfect. I had Demeter bless the Ind to always be bountiful in harvest. It was a good thing I asked her to a month early as the next month she swore off helping thend grow vegetation till Persephone was found. I think I know where Persephone is, but I want to finish building this Ind first. The first few months I was building the structures and terraforming this ind. I want to show off this to Hadester and I want it to be perfect. When that was done we created the first women of the Ind of Themyscira. We taught them everything they needed to know from fighting to politics. I taught them geography and how to build. Artemis taught them how to hunt and about men. I probably should have been watching her when she taught them about men because form the disgusted look in their eyes. We had apetition for the strongest warrior and the greatest mind shall be queen. The most intuitive of the bunch, Hippolyta, won thepetition and became queen of the Themyscira. As we finished everything it became time for us to visit Olympus for the Winter Soltice, six months flew by fast I can rte now how Hades loses himself in building all the time. Hades POV Thest two months have been torture for me. The system I implemented was made to correspond to the increase in civilization and for wars, not gues and mass death. I don''t know what''s going on and had to judge many people personally. Many who died were children as they got sick and passed. The look in their eyes would haunt me for the rest of my days. I decided then and there that after this is over my family will need more direct oversight. I decided any child less than twelve will be going straight to Elysium. That lessened the burden by almost half. I felt both pleased because the workload was less and horrified. I did not find out what was the cause until a farmer named Kryos came and told me the situation. If it was a gue they would quarantine the people sick, but they could not have a n for this. I need to get to the bottom of this on Olympus and when I find out who is responsible they will face my anger. A/N Sorry for being sote, I am not going to rush when putting out chapters because I do not want to post crap. This chapter was for mainly Persephone and Athena and what they have been doing for thest six months. Hades is going to have to be more proactive with his family from now on so none of their shit flies anymore as the consequences of their actions affected him greatly. It actually took a while to write down a timeline for this novel so I needed to do some research on the Giant war and who participated in it. Themyscira needed to be introduced before Hercules and the Giant war. After this, there will be some fillers and then the Trojan war. I will make some changes to history. I am not going to give you a timeline on what is going to happen as that is for me and you will find out what happens when it happens. After which we will have interactions of the gods from different pantheons. The modern era won''te up for some time. I am sorry, but I will not rush my story. So you will not see Percy Jackson for some time. I want to have a transition for Romans and how worship would affect the gods. I read all yourments and yes, Kryos the farmer will forever be written down as the man who saved the world and his story will be taught in history sses. Chapter 28 Angry Chapter 28 Angry Hades POV Today I am going up to Olympus with Persephone. It has been so frustrating recently with the number of deaths that I had to overhaul my system to amodate for matters like this. How could I have possibly forgotten about mass gues and diseases? I do not know how my family could be so stupid and inconsiderate of mortals. We were so busy in the END that I had no idea what was going on Earth. I feel as though I want to send them all to Tartarus for being this stupid. "Hades you need to calm down!!" says a worried Persephone. The ground was shaking and causing earthquakes all around. My anger is getting to me and I need to control it. "I cannot help it, my family has caused so many issues throughout the years and I am at fault. I should have paid more attention to their stupidity!" I replied. It is my fault for this mess as much as them. If I was more attentive none of this would have happened. "I do not believe so, it is Zeus that has gotten out of hand, he is not your responsibility." Persephone tries to make me feel better, but it only makes me more miserable. I let Zeus do what he wanted and now this mess is partially my fault. It is time to fix things. "Persephone, today I will fix the all mistakes I made. I allowed Zeus to get out of hand. I allowed the gods to do whatever they wanted. I have a responsibility to fix Olympus and its problems," I tried to exin it is my fault, but Persephone just gave me a look that reassured me and calmed me down. She has been doing that a lottely, I have been noticing her more often now these days as she has been helping me to cope with all this stress. I don''t know what it is but I like herpany. "Lets just go and fix them then, you just need change things one at a time. Now you know you made mistakes lets make them right," says Persephone as made our way toward Olympus. General POV As Hades and Persphone made their way up Mount Olympus, the council is already in their seats discussing the current situation. "Demeter, we need you to use your power to vegetate the world, you know your responsibility," Zeus says angrily. Because of Demeter, there is no celebration on Olympus this year. "Responsibility, responsibility, what do you know of the word, you sleep around so much as if that is your domain, sex!! I will not grow anything until Persephone is found," an equally angry Demeter replies. "You dare, I should throw you out of this council and give your position to someone more deserving," Zeus contemting the thought of getting rid of this nuisance. Just as he says this through the chamber doors open revealing Hades. "No one is doing throwing anyone out until this situation is resolved!!" A very angry Hades replies. Hades POV I go to sit in my seat, but this time I am not rxed or taking a nap for once. I look at the entire council with a re that tells them to shut up. I just look at them each for a couple seconds as I contemte what to say. "I will only ask this once, how the fuck did this happen? If I don''t hear reply there will be consequences," I only whispered this, but I know everyone heard and judging by the looks I am receiving they looked worried. "How dare you juste here and demand answers, when have you ever been con..." I cut off Zeus. "Shut up, I don''t want to hear your bullshit. Thest couple of months have been an eye-opener to me. Do you know what I learned? I learned that you all are fucking pieces of shit that do not know how to fucken do your jobs," I stare down Zeus and he can tell I am seriously pissed. No one said anything after that. I may as well continue to speak. "I have just spent thest few months dealing with the influx of souls not knowing what was going on because of you fucken pieces of shits who call themselves gods. I had to find out about the cause of deaths from a mortal who hade all the way to the END for an audience with me. I don''t want excuses, I don''t want to know who caused this as I am pretty sure all of you are responsible. I want to know how this happened and I want to know now!" I am really pissed and released a bit of power and caused Olympus to shake. Posiedon POV A lot has happened in thest few years. I have been getting my act together to run my kingdom more appropriately. I even mended my rtionship with Amphitrite and we now have a son named Triton. Everything has been getting better in my kingdom as the goddesses do not fear me as much. Though I still see a lingering gaze of disgust it will take a while for me to be forgiven of my actions. Management of my kingdom has been going better as I have decided to allow demigods to use my waters. One demigod, Minos, had even asked me for help. I obliged and let his ships have an advantage in speed that allowed him to be a king. My worship has increased since then. I tried to get a city and had apetition for it with Athena. She had won that city from me, I am still pissed about that. To get back at her I slept with a beautiful woman in her temple though, her name was Medusa, though Athena turned that woman into a monster. Though suddenly this year worship for me has gone down. I havee to Olympus finding the weather cold. Many humans have died and I do not know the cause. I was worried about what was going on. I sat in my throne to find out that Demeter''s daughter had gone missing and Demeter had sworn to not grow any vegetation until Persephone is found. Hades hade into the council room angrily. I have only seen him this serious when Hestia was captured during the war. He looked intensely at us, I can tell all the younger gods are shocked and intimidated. They have never seen an angry Hades before, they have only seen Hades sleeping on his throne or reading. Gods don''t even sleep, but somehow he does. Hades is so calm and serious making his gaze even more intense. He may be driving fear into the younger gods even without his helm. Athena broke the silence and was the one to answer him. Athena POV Frankly, I have never seen Hades this mad before. He is always a fun and happy type of person. His gaze shut up app the gods and no one dared speak. Knowing him made it more unbelievable for him to be angry. I guess Demeter really screwed up this time. I waited and seeing as no one was going to answer him, I might as well. I started to speak and this drew Hades''s stare to me. "Lord Hades, this all started when the daughter of Demeter, Persephone, went missing. Zeus assigned Apollo to look for her, but he did not and was distracted by Aphrodite. No one was searching for her, this caused Demeter to swear on Styx that until Persephone is found she will not grow vegetation on thisnd. Without her power thends became cold and we are now facing this situation," with Athena ending her exnation, Hades only had a confused look. "That is strange because Persephone has told me that she had permission from her mother to move to the END, in fact, she is outside the room right now," as Hades said this an uproar stirred within the crowd. An uproar that everyone right now hated, Demeter. Demeter POV Months without my daughter were daunting. I have been searching thesends looking for any clues on her whereabouts. Olympus had mocked me for it and when I asked for help all Zeus promised to help and assigned Apollo on the search, but what happened. When I looked for Apollo, I found him having sex with Aphrodite. I came a weekter and he was having sex with her again. I asked about his progress on the search. What did he tell me, he told me he will start the search soon. Soon, he did not even start. I decided then and there that if no one helps me than I shall help no one. Months pass and there is still no sign of her, I have grown increasingly worried. Who cares for these mortals, they whine and do not do anything besides that. My daughter is missing and they expect me to grow food for them. They are ungrateful for what I provide. The meeting on Olympus had started early this year and Zeus is thinking of recing me. I am actually worried because if I am reced, no one will search for my daughter as I would be powerless. Hades hade in and he was angry about the number of deaths. Well, who cares they are only mortals. His words may have cut deep, but his anger is something even I cannot trifle with. I remain silent in hopes someone will calm him down or else I might find his gaze on me. As expected Athena speaks up and tells the situation to calm him down, but what I did not was that Persephone has been in the END this entire time. General POV "WHAT!!! You kidnapped my daughter. I will have your head Hades," Demeter exims as she tries to hit him with her sickle. Hades just ps her and sends her back to her seat. "Shut up woman, do you know the problems you have caused. Also, using me of kidnapping how dare you, I have not kidnapped anyone," Hades said angrily. He was both suprised beyond belief by how insane this goddess was as well infuriated of being used of kidnapping. Hades looks at Hermes and says, "You, idiot, get Persphone in here. I want to know the situation and how this fuckin started." Hermes was a little hesitant and that pissed Hades off, "What are you waiting for, are you not the god of messages get the fuck out and find her or I swear I will shove your staff up your ass you fucking donkey." Hermes without saying a word ran out of the room. He was back in less than a minute with Persephone. Hermes looked terrified and did not want to anger Hades again. Hades looked at Persephone and told her the situation and to exin her side of the story, "Persephone, your mother has stopped growth on the world because she was searching for you. She belives you were kidnapped and was the one that caused this incident. You told me that you had permission from you mother to live in the END. I just want the truth and your side of the story." Persephone looked horrified by what happened and how it was her fault for all the death. She began to exin her side, "Well it started one evening after I finished my work in making some fields around Mount Ida grow when Aphrodite came to me. She said that my mother gave me permission to live in the END and court you, Lord Hades. She said that mother would not bear to see me leave and already packed my things. So after that I went to the END and you built me a house and all." ""WHAT,"" an insane Demeter and an enraged Zeus exim. "Wait, what court me, Aphrodite, what," a very confused Hades was for the first time contemting marriage. "I actually want to court you too lord Hades," now it was Athena that added to the confusion. A betrayed look on Artemis was missed by the other gods as more confusion on the situation. The intense atmosphere which had taken root had dissipated. Demeter though tackled Aphrodite and started to stab her with her sickle. Aphrodite POV My n had been going great, drive Demeter insane, but there was one hitch, the Winter solstice. I may have gone a little far and been sleeping with anyone that would go on a search for Persephone. I may have started this, but to see Hades be so dominating. Me likey. I miscalcted that Hades might be angry at the number of deaths. He is a god he should not be concerned with mortals. Apparently I was wrong and now the situation may have gotten out of hand. When Persephone exined the situation though, I knew I had to leave. As Hades was confused, frankly I did not see Athena actually fall for Hades though. As I was leaving Demeter tackled me to the ground and started to stab me with her sickle. "You bitch," I was bleeding icor now. This bitch, I had scratched her with my nails and punched her in the face. "You dare, all those times I tried to find her or have someone search for you were stopping them werent you. You fucking whore!" Demeter wanted vengeance for the months of self-doubt had almost driven her insane. Demeter was relentless and started to hammer my face in with her fists. We rolled on the ground and I pinched her tits and forced a little distance. "So what you crazy bitch, I did it what can you do about it. All was going well untill you wanted to kill the world," with that said Poseidon and Ares had to pull us apart. I might have spilt the beans and caused a lot of problems, but most of the me lies on Demeter. A/N I have been watching a lot of Gordan Ramsay and Marco Pierre White on youtube and they partly inspired today''s Hades. Aphrodite and all the Olympians will get their due next time. The situation will get resolved next time. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
