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 90 : Preparing for spring

The next couple of days were extremely awkward for Persephone. Her mother barely said a word to her, and barely gave her any tasks in preparation for spring. And when she did assign her a task, she relayed it through one of her sisters, rather than telling it to her face to face.

The blue eyed goddess walked to her favorite swing that hang off a large jacaranda tree branch and sighed. She had finally finished organizing all the flowers that had been selected for the next spring. It was back breaking work, but since Persephone had done it a million times before, it was a walk in the park for her.

Persephone noticed her mother walking around the fields doing some stock taking and got up. She walked hurriedly to catch up with her, hoping she would get the chance to talk to her.

Demeter was a proud woman, so Persephone knew that if she didn't reach out and apologize, they would probably go the entire holiday without talking.

"Mother!"
