"What do you think you are doing Zeus?" The chair scraps back in a rush as Izumi is up on his feet."What?" Seemingly nonchalant Zeus looks around in confusion, very visibly unused to such reaction.Frozen over in shock, I could still register how the speakers kept glancing at me and how the silent King never lifted his gaze away."What do you mean by what?" Will' tone is neither calm nor loud and I realize that I have never once seen him worked up as much."You stepped out of line." Izumi steals the words right off my tongue but none of us has the chance to see how it ends as a strange tune fills the dinning."Wait" Zeus gives each of us a look of apology and fish out a phone from his pocket.Holding it to his ear he nods twice and cuts the call soon after."You have a phone?" I finally speak out of curiosity."Yeah but it's a lot different from your mundane phones." He answers carefully tRelated chapters
Hades' Doctor Hades' Doctor
Eyes of hell fire, brighter than a coal aflame revealed to me their menacing beauty.And bewitched, I stood bound by a reality no different from fantasy, for before me was the god spoken of in ancient hymns, the Ruler of the dead.My grip on the curtain loosen and soon my hand falls limp to my side as I stood in a daze, long enough for a look of nonchalance and a weak smile to be unable to compensate for my rude stares.This King was not atop any extravagant throne, nor a golden wreath crowned his lustrous hair like ink as he languidly leans back by his bed and under those amber eyes, even the most calmest of souls would falter, with its gaze never to be the first to avert its focus, but they were indifferent to the world, and far from welcoming."Can you cure me mortal child?" A deep voice questions in annoyance.Audibly I gulp, complaining in my heart, a sweet old man was so much better!The journey that brought me to this very moment started of with an argument, an argument that I

"Look William, if this is a kidnapping for money or simply because my mom pissed you off, you can tell me, lets keep it straight okay." I keep my expression unfazed as more people make the crowd."I know breaking the victim's will is very effective, but you don't have to bother I will give you my parents number so ask your men to stand down."William' brows were furrowed listening intently till I said my piece. "Elizabeth, the hole you fell into a long ago had an alter built over it where offerings by worshippers were kept, but is no longer of use but somehow it acted as a portal." His tone was soft as if coaxing a kid throwing a tantrum."Our Lord Hades is the greek god of the Underworld, commonly called in the human tongue as hell, but it is not as scary as people makes it seem.After a person's death their soul reaches the Underworld and they are judged for their deeds and sent to the afterlife they are worthy of. I understand this might be very confusing for you-""I know of gre

"You have a high fever." I start awkwardly standing for a while before nearing the bed."Fevers can be caused by infections from injuries..."After hesitating for a moment I threw caution to the wind and bit the bullet peaking in through velvet curtains.The god of the Underworld held a scroll in between long pale fingers, amber eyes immersed in its contents. His face was smoothed out, loosing their cold and oppressive feeling in the midst of being focused and preoccupied, but the serious expression never lost its arrogance."...so you have any?" I brace myself to meet the enchanting eyes but yet I was baffled and silently scolded my weak spine."No."The single word seems to reverberate through my bones, the cold undertones to his voice like hidden daggers and I retrieve my neck.And realising how uncooperative he was, I skip to the open door with a spontaneous idea. "You wouldn't mind if I go out for a bit." But I had thought he would have never acknowledge it."Running away." It ech

Something cool fell on my exposed arm under folded sleeves and like a binding the sensation tugged at my consciousness and slowly released it from the clutches of sleep.And I was first aware of the pillow crushed between my legs, but it wasn't my own and I open my eyes to catch a muscled hand fall to its owners side. "You slept for fourteen hours, I was beginning to worry." A gentle voice states with concern and gradually numerous memories and images become clear."Good morning Will." But my eyes did not meet blue orbs, but instead they wandered in searching and soon realized the light coloured walls were unfamiliar. "This is my room, he is not here." Sensing my intentions William states putting me to ease, but was quick to put my mind to chaos. "The palace is in a ruckus since you decided to sleep in the King's bed."The blanket crumbled to the side was pulled over my head as I decide to keep to myself in my embarrassment and the one standing by the bed crackles without pity.My sp

"What's the difference between the staff here and those souls?" I ask carrying along the plate of unfinished dessert."You really do love food." Ocean eyes crinkle in a warm smile. "There's not much difference. All of us had our souls sent here after our deaths, but the ones working here are the souls who are either afraid to loose their memory when entering afterlife or those who think that the next life they gain would be more bitter, and some are waiting for their loved ones to arrive.""There is actually a lot more reasons, but in summary we are the ones that choose not to be sent to the next life. But it is not for all, you won't find any criminals here or people involved in other shady businesses.""Hades has very narrow list of criterion." He laughs when he finishes as if remembering something extremely entertaining. "So why did you stay?" I query and he lowers his kind eyes to mine."I wanted to serve him, I owe him my life."There was something in how these words were said t

Leaving me wondering about what he meant he disappeared, soon appearing at the door. I realized a bit late by the stillness he stood there with, that he was waiting for me.Jumping off, I followed behind his now retreating form.Four guards flanked us while the people in the corridors made themselves scarce against the wall, breaths rarely inhaled. Noting familiar faces, I waved with enthusiasm.They did not wave back immediately, only after Hades' passing did they greet me with smiles. Standing out in the crowd with her fiery hair framing her heart-shaped face stood one of the friendliest in the palace.When our eyes met, she waved like crazy and I returned it with equal excitement. Unlike everyone else, Hades seemed to have gone completely overlooked. The sight of her rosy cheeks turning a deeper shade of red when she finally noticed the intimidating God was hilarious to me.Giving me the stink eye from my giggles on her account, she huffed turning her head away. With an apologetic s

Even when leaving, he refused to offer his hand, but when he did on getting on the chariot, I happily obliged.Not.This brought a frown to the otherwise void face, and he sported it almost halfway back home."Is there where I will go after I finish treating you?" I looked back to where my memories will no longer be mine to remember.The flames of ember danced with amusement. "And why would you go there." Was his short answer, leaving me in a fearful smile.Is it really as I feared what it is that I had done? I hadn't given much thought while breaking my cousin's nose nor his curses. My mouth hung open.The misuse of power on the weak. That must be it. "Is there really no way? I am dead and now I...."He almost seemed to have wanted to laugh. "You are not dead mortal." The matter of fact tone made it harder to believe. "What?" The question was a weak murmur. But as I drew near to hyperventilation I could no longer seem as calm."What?!!!?" "Your soul and your body haven't parted."

Reaching home with a bag of premade excuses and a stock of pity provoking faces, I braced myself for the worst case scenario.But I ended up shocked for two hours straight on finding out that it had been only two hours since I left. My guide aka bodyguard had only just noticed my disappearance and so bought my lie of visiting an old friend.And my capability in imagination was tested when it was time to explain the dirt smudged across my pink tee and the torn black-jeans. I almost dropped to my knees in relief when they decided against calling my parents and giving a detailed report.It was hard for me to believe that they did not see through my suspicious smile and nervous laughter. That night I slept with a new back of memories to recollect and relive, but the morning was filled with tears and frustration of realizing that the curse hadn't been broken."Beth, did you wash your hands?" Margret, a woman in her early forties looked at me pointedly as I tiptoed out of the kitchen with a

Hades' Doctor Father!
Without sparing any of us a glance Hades takes his seat at the head.And soon the large room is flooded with butlers and maids who deliver us enough food to feed twenty or so.When they scurry back out I take my seat but not without jabbing Zeus's thigh under the table with the fork I had not surrendered. For a while I searched for the proper position for placing my weapons and during that time I noticed that it wasn't only me who keenly observed Hades for a sign of a reaction. But all we got was nothing. And when I finally figured out where to place them one went crooked and the other fell right off the table, a little too far from where I sat.It was as it the forks had grown wings, nasty naughty wings.So once again I got off from my high chair to pick it up. But as I bend I feel something soft and rather ticklish brush past my hair.By the time I realized what exactly happened Hades had already gracefully
Hades' Doctor Worst Timing
I find myself shrinking under those amber eyes which settled upon mine after a brief inspection of his beloved garden."I am not responsible." I blurt out feeling oddly guilty. His lips mould to speak and probably mock but I beat him to it declaring. "Am a nature lover you see I wouldn't do such a thing and I am not a fan of pointing fingers."Hades seemed to want to comment but I cut in raising my hand."But.""As the situation calls for it, it was your brother and...and another guy.""And I don't think, any one of the two can be held responsible individually for they are equally to blame and should be brought to justice and be punished for the destruction of this very garden.""That' my conclusion your honour. " I make a low bow and start to walk away."Where are going?" Hades asks stopping short my retreat."Am not involved in this, so I thought maybe..I could just leave?""No." My boss declines my
Hades' Doctor Emergency Exit Please part two
"Take your hands off of her!" Zeus and I instantly freeze by the blade like hostility. Never once have seen such an expression upon his face, never such rage as he advances forward while we stand rooted in lasting shock."Why? Because you can't?" Zeus is the first to regain but provocatively chides and maybe he had already foreseen the consequences for the shield was up even before the attack was decided. An orb of lightening engulfed the King of Olympus protecting him from the invisible dangers which nudged at the force field with terrifying might that the ground around it caved and the air froze to a foggy mist.But standing only centimetres away, I felt I was a world apart without even a cold breeze blowing past my face."It's been a long time, Death." Zeus nonchalantly says."Not long enough Lord Zeus." And suddenly the honorific was a mean word rolling off his tongue."And I am the magnificent Elizabeth." I mutter
Hades' Doctor Emergency Exit Please
In the lingering moments as we stared at the other, it was debatable who could be considered the most shocked.Years have passed by since I met those haunting eyes and my mind is pulled back to the past, into the vivid memories of a grey eyed boy with mischief hiding behind every smile.There was no way I could ever not recognise that boy, who always stood so close to me till the day he was too far for me to reach.There were thousands of questions I wanted to carve in wood and smash in his face but plagued in worry, I could only ask."Are you dead?" But long before I could roll out the last word he had moved. His steps turning into impatient strides as he crossed the crystal waters like it were solid ground. But it seemed he was unable to answer for he only stared, his eyes fearful and brows furrowed in alarm. Enough for me to turn back to confirm whether there was a monster standing behind.Suddenly half way past, he seem
Hades' Doctor Oh my god
Dedicated to my pet dog Dora.As the god of the Underworld leaves, the room falls silent except for the erratic beats of my confused heart.I got up but slumped back again. Am too hungry to move and where did Hades dissappear to?I slap my cheeks as if that would knock some sense into me, but nothing helps.And so with the intense determination to get him off my mind, I stretchthe sleep off my limbs and set my course with only one person in mind.The magic of the castle did not falter and I found the blue eyed boy I was looking for.Regrettably I noticed he was busy with him and a dozen guards in converse of something that looked rather important. Not wanting to disturb the others I did not approach and waited till the rest began to discuss some proposition Will suggests.Putting this chance to use, I frantically wave from a distance. When the deep blue orbs take notice, his expression relaxes to a soft smile.At the same time, observing their leader's sudden change in attitude a few
Hades' Doctor Stupid Stupid Stupid. I am Stupid
My consciousness hits the moment there's no longer a bed to roll over. And only god knows how I managed to even roll to edge of such a large bed.Strategically balancing myself in the nick of time, I save myself from instant pain and snuggle back into the silky sheets.But am unable to fall back asleep as my brows furrow in thought. Large bed? Silk sheets? With my eyes now open wide, the frame of a canopy bed focuses into view, and all my doubts come true.How can this be? I don't remember entering this room, was what I thought. But my brain as if offended by my memory being questioned gives me a presentation on the events of the previous night.Something cold and mettalic graze my cheek bringing me back from the realm of sleep. I shift my head against the warm chest to find a familiar gold-medallion. Peeking up my eyes seek the amber orbs of the King of the Underworld but they were set on the path ahead. He cradled me like a baby and unlike the expected discomfort, i felt rather
Hades' Doctor Pits and Fire
Adorned in ancient greek armour, hundreds of palace guards lined the stadium sized hall on each side.Zeus had fallen silent as Will leads us along the side of the great hall. I look past my shoulder at the humongous door of cold metal with the width of two buses and height of pine which opens without a creek to let a single soul enter at a time.Each time it opens my eyes strain to focus on the tens of thousands gathered at its entrance. A woman in her late twenties steps through the door and am shocked by her appearance. Dressed in a simple off-white dress, her body was transparent in a manner that one could make out her features while still seeing through.After taking notice of my dazed eyes Will took it to himself to lead me. A few seconds later he tugged at my hand while I stood rooted in spot with my mouth agape.Suddenly the door, the delarted and the guards were no longer an domineering presence.Cold, hard glacial stairs lead up to the Golden throne of the Underworld.

Hades' Doctor Like father like son
"Are we there yet? Zeus whined evidently in disagreement with the humane motion of walking."Only a little more okay." I smile in encouragement knowing full well that my plans would fail if he were to teleport us. When upon reaching the scared grounds of the deserted temple I exclaimed under his narrowed gaze. "Ah I am so thirty." I wipe the sweat from my forehead and rummage through the contents in the small sling bag I took along. "You have got to be kidding me." I facepalm."What is it?" He asks, his stormy orbs letting down their guard. "I forgot my bottle."He took little of my misery and simply suggested. "I can make it rain.""No!"He looks down at me wide eyed and I realise the need to explain my outburst. "I will get soaked. So no rain.""Then I will.."I held up my hand. "Don't. I remember there was well around here you don't have to use your powers. "Seeing that I was being persistent he gives in. "Okay. It's easier my way though.""Come on slow pokes." I tease and he
