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 53 : Alarm clock

An unfamiliar buzzing noise awoke Persephone from a rather enjoyable dream. Was it morning already? For some reason all she wanted was to say in bed all day. She flipped over to where the buzzing was coming from and groaned, what was that?

She noticed a faint light flickering near her pillow and reached for it. The goddess jolted upright when she realized that it was her phone that was ringing. Oh gods! She had completely forgotten that she had one of those.

She grabbed it and stared at the screen, it looked like someone was calling her, but the number was unsaved. She slid the answer button and brought the phone slowly to her ear before speaking.

"Hello?..."

'Miss Persephone?'

"Umm yes this is she..."

'This is Mr Christos, I am lord Hades' personal lawyer.'

"Oh! Oh right! Hades told me to expect a call from you."
