Underworld Intern

This is basically a tale of Hades and Persephone, but not quite like you know it. The love that blossomed between Hades and Persephone was never a mere coincidence like Greek mythology suggests, there are ancient truths that were buried, lies that were praised, and connections that were severed, never again to see the light of day… Until now. Persephone, a sheltered, home schooled sweet little girl finally gets the chance to see the world beyond her mother’s reach and enrolls in the most prestigious university in all the three realms. Will she fulfill her mother’s wishes of working hard and graduating collage so she can take over the business? Or will her encounter with the king of the underworld completely throw her off track? ***** “Lord Hades! Lord Hades!” “How many times have I told you not to scream in my office Thanatos?” Thanatos stopped in front of the large black table and slipped a piece of paper across to the dark haired man who was smoking a cigar at the other end of it. “You need to see this.” Hades picked up the paper and trailed his deep crimson eyes over each line, his brows knitting more and more as he read. “Is this a some kind of fluke?” “I followed it up sir,” Thanatos responded. His voice indicated both excitement and nervousness, how could he not be? This had never happened before in the history of the underworld. “It’s not a fluke sir, someone actually applied to intern in the underworld.” “Persephone….” Hades mumbled to himself as she gazed at the picture attached to the application letter. “What are you up to little dove?”

Chapter 51 : The forbidden meal

Persephone put down her fork and looked up at the crimson eyed god ,who was merely staring at his plate of food. He had an odd expression on his face, as if the food had said something offensive to him.

"Hey... is everything okay?" She asked.

Hades lifted his gaze and nodded unnaturally, it was painfully clear that there was something bothering him.

"If you don't like the food, I can always warm some leftovers for you.."

Hades shook his head and scooped a spoonful, "what?! No this food is delicious Persephone! It's just been so long since I've had it I just can't comprehend it." He shoved the spoon in his mouth and slowly chewed, his body trembling in the process.

Oh Gaia, it tasted almost exactly like it did a hundred and fifty years ago. The god put down his fork and stood up, shocking Persephone and Cerberus who were almost done with their meal.

"Excuse me," he mumbled, and then left the kitchen without saying another word.
