All Chapters of The Veil Of Time : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

HadesThe melody of the tune I played on the piano drowned out the screams of the souls as they suffered for their sins, but their screams didn't bother me because I only heard them when I wished. Suddenly the doors to the hall flung open and hit the walls. "Don't break my doors, Hermes," I said as I stopped playing. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. "It's that time again, is it not?" He said, fury written on his face and voice, and I sensed a hint of... concern? Or was it worry? For me? Yeah right. "Well, it's good to see you too," I said with a sly smile. "I don't understand the reason behind your anger, but I guess it's none of my business." I morphed into a new set of clothes. "None of your business? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS?!! My fury is all of your business, Hades," Hermes said. "Last time, you didn't stick to the protocol. You broke the rules and took more than was appointed to you," he said. "That's only happened because five Underworlders found their mates. I coul

Rose POV I'd been running for what seemed like hours but I knew it had only been for a few minutes. There were no doors and I hadn’t come across a single soul. I kept running and looking over my shoulder. I was expecting Davis to come up behind me and grab me. I turned a sharp corner but suddenly stopped dead on the tracks. There in front of me lay a monster. It was a giant three-headed dog that had its head on its huge paws and looked to be asleep. ‘Oh shit!’ I thought as it slowly raised its head. It saw me and growled. ‘Nice doggy. Very nice doggy.’ I whispered as I took very slow steps back till I was at the turning point of the hallway and I bolted down another hallway. I heard its roar and the pounding of its paws on the hallway floor as it followed me. I turned back to see it following me and I pushed myself forward, took a sharp right, and hazarded a look behind me to find it running towards me. I screamed and pushed myself to run even faster as he was gaining on me. I ra

Hades POV. Truth be told, I was confused, and, judging by Rose’s expression, she was too. ‘’Care to explain what this prophecy is to me in a way I would understand,’’ I said and she flipped the page. ‘’The prophecy states; Hades and Olympus, after centuries of waging wars for dominance and power, a steady but shaky balance was formed, but the Queen of Hades shall arise and she will be the bridge between gods, humans and underworlders.’’ She paused to let all she had said sink in. ‘’The Queen's power shall neither be light nor dark, her legend shall spread throughout the cosmos. She shall birth the sons of Hades.’’ she continued. ‘’The seven sons of Hades?’’ Rose suddenly cut her off and Lachesis nodded. ‘’That's correct. Only the Queen of Hades can birth the sons, the princes of Hades.’’ Lachesis concluded, ‘’But Zeus already blessed Hades with its princes,’’ I said, looking confused, ‘’And what part of only the Queen of Hades can birth the princes of Hades don't you get? Zeus

Rose POV I had been wandering around for what seemed like hours now, and I knew I was royally lost, wishing I had taken Cerberus up on his offer. I found multiple rooms and about two or more dining halls so far and what I believe to be a game room. I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. I just wanted to find Hades and have him wrap me in his warm embrace. I needed to find him. I just had to. Has the days passed and we grew closer it was getting harder and harder to stay away from him for too long and it has become unbearable of late. I took another left turn and almost cried when I saw the huge black door at the end of the hallway. I approached it and pried it open enough for me to slip in exerting more energy than I had originally thought I would need. The interior resembled a throne room of some sort. I walked in and immediately the guards on the right side stopped me halting my movement with his huge spear. ''How are you here, mortal?'' He said. ''Return to the judgment room

Hades POV I was totally against her walking or going anywhere near Purgatory, just for her transformation, but to know that Rose accepted me made me so happy. “The transformation can only occur during a lunar eclipse” Lachesis answered, as we asked her the next day when we met in the library. ''That's a week from now,'' Rose said. She sure knows her lunar cycles. ''The next one will be in five months," she said. ''There is something you both must know.'' Lachesis said. ''What's that?'' I asked, she said. ''When my lady emerges, she will be desperate to complete the mating process. You must prepare for the ceremony before the transformation.'' Lachesis said, and I looked down at Rose as she looked at me with wide eyes. ''Leave us,'' I instructed, When I saw the fear in her eyes, she simply bowed and disappeared. ''To complete the mating process means sex, right?'' She inquired, and I nodded. She backed away from me, ''oh my. Wait, I've never done this before, Hades. I don't th
