Persephone shivered a bit at her husband's promise of great punishment to the mortal. She hoped she would not be able to hear his screams.
She turned and bowed her head to Zeus out of respect. "Thank you for your hospitality my lord. Please, be attentive to mother. Perhaps ask Hera or Aphrodite to visit with her?" Persephone suggested and nodded to Apollo. "Nephew," she said, trying to convey that he needed to be more respectful towards his uncle, or else things would not go well.
Finally she turned her attention back to Hades. "Shall we return home?"
Once they entered the underworld Persephone shivered again from the cold of the area they were in. Shadows quickly wrapped around her and formed into a silk shawl. "Thank you my husband," she said, grateful for his thoughtfulness. She placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him walking and came around to place her hands on his chest and look up at him. "Please," she asked. "May I be in my room while you are punishing him? I do not wish to hear his screams of agony."
Her husband knew that she had a gentle heart. She did not relish in the pain of others, no matter what they had done. She often requested to not be present when he punished and tormented the souls that did not make it into the Elysium fields.

Even though she slept with her husband in his bed, she had her own room that was her sanctuary. It had flowers made of stone, ones that she could not kill. It had been an attempt by her husband to give her something of what she had lost. She was appreciative of the thoughtful gift, but she still found herself wishing she could once again touch real flowers.
sorry I've been MIA guys. I lost my bank card and someone used it! UGH having to go through the whole process of picking out fraudulent purchases and getting my account straight so I can get a new card.
Persephone turned from Zeus as her name was mentioned by two separate people. She tensed when she recognized her husband. He was in his terrifying form. She hated that stocky, overweight form of his. It was vastly different from his other form: a tall and handsome male who didn't look like he would snap her in half with one finger.
"My husband," she acknowledged, nodding her head. It was time to return once again to the darkness of the underworld.

But then Apollo spoke. Persephone winced at his words. Was he trying to anger his uncle? Apollo was handsome but rather foolish at times. This being one of those times.
Before she could reply to him she cringed as Hades roared in fury.
A mortal had entered Tarturas?! It was impossible! Unheard of! But even in her shock Persephone found herself thinking...
if it was possible for a mortal to enter Tarturas... was it also possible for an immortal to do the impossible as well... such as break unbreakable ties...?

Did she even want to? There in lied the question. Persephone hated her husband it was true, for forcing a marriage and a life she didn't want on her, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling... appreciative? Was that the proper word? The god of the underworld could have chosen any goddess, far better than she, but he had chosen Persephone. She had often wondered why, had even considered asking Aphrodite why or even for help. After all, the goddess was known for causing feelings of love. It only made sense that she could take away those feelings. Perhaps if she took away whatever the feeling Hades had for her he would let Persephone go.
But then what? Who would want her after that? She was the goddess of the dead. She had no place in the light anymore.

Persephone pushed her thoughts and feelings aside for the moment. The important thing was calming her husband before he went on a rampage in his fury. Walking up to him, she placed her soft and gentle hand on his arm. "My husband," she said soothingly. "It is of no great matter to you. Simply find and punish the foolish mortal who dares enter your realm. A mortal is not worthy of your anger."
As she spoke, her hand rubbed gentle soothing circles on his arm, trying to calm him. He usually liked it when she spoke to him this way, when she touched him and soothed him, but Hades was known to be unpredictable so she wasn't certain what would happen.
Where did everybody go??
Something was coming. She could feel the darkness pull at her heart. It was time.
Persephone had been conversing with her mother, but suddenly stopped as the feeling overwhelmed her. Her smile faded. Her mother also stopped talking and looked in the direction her daughter was facing. There, coming up the walk at the foot of the great temple on Mount Olympus, was the dark shape of an emissary of the Underworld. He was here to collect Persephone.

As mother and daughter sat there, not willing to say anything about the figure nor the short time they had left together, Persephone wondered again what the God of the Dead saw in her. She was a beauty, but could never hope to rival Aphrodite. She was smart, but did not come close to the level of Athena. She was brave, but not nearly so much as Artemis. No, Persephone was just the daughter of Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest. She had hoped to one day stand at her mother's side as a fellow Goddess of the Harvest and the Seasons.
But now she was not her mother's partner, but she was her equal. For because of Hades, her lord and husband, she had become the Goddess of the Dead, Queen of the Underworld and it's inhabitants.

The flowers in the large vases around them started to wilt. Her mother was already beginning to mourn her absence. Giving her a sad smile, Persephone hugged her mother tightly and said her words of goodbye, reminding her that they would see each other again in six months, per Lord Zeus' decree.

The young Queen stood and breathed deeply, closing her eyes as the shadows appeared under her feet and wrapped around her body like smoke, turning her clothing from the white linen of Olympus to the dark satin of the Underworld. The black dress was much more form-fitting then the white linen, but she knew it pleased Hades.
Saying goodbye once more to her mother, Persephone left her in the small garden and headed towards the large main temple where the immortals of Olympus gathered. She had to appear before Lord Zeus before leaving for her husband's realm. Perhaps she would see a few of the other gods and goddesses as well and tell them goodbye. The only time she really got to interact with them was during the six months she visited her mother. Hades always came when his brother Zeus requested, but normally he preferred to keep to himself and his privacy.

Persephone found herself wondering if her husband would come to fetch her himself this time or if he had just sent one of his creatures to escort her home.
Home...? Had she really come to accept the world of the dead as her home? She missed the light and the life of the world above, but she had been in darkness and shadows so much that they were starting to feel more like a part of her. Sometimes she had to work hard to imagine that she had ever had another life.

Not that Hades was ever cruel or harsh with her. He had never abused her in any way, had never harmed her... on purpose...
Her thoughts were cut off by the sound of voices in the temple. Who would she be seeing before her departure? Who would she be telling goodbye? She hoped it wasn't Hermes. The god liked to flirt too much for her tastes. It often made her marvel at how blatantly immoral some of the gods and goddesses were, even the married ones committed infidelity often and with multiple partners. Zeus himself was a known philanderer who often lusted after human mortal women. It made Persephone wonder if Hades had ever...
hi everyone, I am so sorry I have been MIA the past day. I got a case of pretty severe food poisoning.
I hope everyone like my first post

Would it be possible to be a child of Zeus?


Do you mean a god or a demi-god? Because right now I think we should start with the gods and add the half-god half-humans later
Thantos has agreed to be my co-gm, so please respect him and what he says as if he were me. As soon as the last two people make their charaters we'll start.
I love the characters so far! I want to start right now but I know I should probably wait for more peoples. *pouts*
anyway, I think I am going to make a human character, a follower of Artemis. I'm thinking about it at least.
