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 81 : Lunch with Minthe

"You can't be serious!" Hera yelled. Her eyes were an angry red and her hair was standing on end.

"Now now Hera, an act of wrath is illegal you know."

"So is murder but I'm very close to committing that!" Hera roared. "Hades what in Tartarus is wrong with you?! Minthe?! Really?!"

"Look Hera you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you..."

"You're right! I wouldn't! Have you forgotten what that little skank did to you?!" Hera fell back into a chair and tried to settle herself down. "Please don't tell me that you allowed Minthe to hurt Persephone, please Hades I'm begging you, for the love of Gaia, tell me you're not as stupid as you sound right now."

"I didn't want for this to happen Hera... but Persephone, she's too good for me, you know this."

Hera stood up and marched to the god, making him wince in preparation for a slap in the face. But instead, Hera placed her hands on his shoulders.
