CH.8 Family Origins

After who knows how long I was woken up and the first thing that I felt was pain and then more pain if that was even possible.

I tried to move my arm but that brought more pain and a realization that my whole body was sore from pain making me let out a groan.

After seeing the condition my body was in, I tried to find out why and that did not take a while to figure out. After checking I found my body deprived of gdl, not a single drop left, it seemed that I was too angry to know just how much energy I was using or how far I was pushing my body.

When I was done checking my body, I open my eyes with a little difficulty to see that I was in a gothic bedroom decorated with decor only the rich would have.

"Where the fuck is this," I said after seeing where I was.

"you're in the underworld" a voice came out of nowhere making me turn in a hurry hurting myself in the process.

"dammit," I said feeling the pain.

"ha-ha, yes that will happen when you use too much of your power" the voice making a man appear out of thin air with a helmet in his arms.

My attention was now on this man, he was a tall and imposing man with muscular physic, pale almost albino white skin, shoulder-length black hair and a trimmed beard, wearing a black Greek robe, his voice was oily but the only thing that interested me was his eyes they an intense black which seemed to glitter like frozen tar, they reminded me of my eyes, they had that look of either of a mad man or a genius.

"Who are you and what do you mean by the underworld," I said trying to look as serious as one could look on a bed with every part of your body in pain.

"I have many names but the one I go by is hades king of the underworld and lord of the dead and what I mean by underworld Is that I brought you here after you practically exposed yourself to the whole Greek pantheon, you're lucky I got there before Zeus saw you first," the man now known as hades said with a little anger in his voice.

I started at him processing all the information that I've now gotten, then it all made sense, the ghost, the shadows, "you're my dad aren't you" I said finally.

"It would seem so" he nervous.

"Now would you tell me why on Gaia you what did you just did, do you know how close you were to getting in trouble and possibly killed by my brother," hades said angrily

"My mother died," I said looking away

The room went quiet after I said that and after a few moments hades sat on the bed and spoke, "I'm sorry I didn't know, even though I don't remember her I'm sure she was a great woman" he said with a voice that has lost more than it ever knows.

"It's fine," I said looking at him.

After a few minutes of silence, I spoke a question that I needed to know, "how come you only came now" I said to him causing him to sigh.

"Well, for one thing, I dint even know you existed and lastly you weren't even close near where I could sense you, it was only because of your outburst that I found you," hades said looking down.

"Huh, does this happen a lot," I said.

"No, this a first," he said.

"So, what now?" I said wanting to know what my father was going to do before planning anything.

"Now you can join me and my wife for dinner," he said.

"Um not that I wouldn't mind but first I can't move at all and second I'm pretty sure your wife will be mad at me if the stories of Heras jealousy mean anything," I said.

"Ah, well she was mad at first but after I told her everything she calmed down, and you're not the first demigod I've had," hades said.

"What? but all the myths I've read said you only had like two children" I said confused.

"Well, you see that's not true the Greek gods have a lot of children, so much that they're a camp for them," hades said.

"Huh okay, but again I still can't move," I said then tried to move.

"Ah right here have some of this" hades said and made a gold cup appear from the ground, with a gold yellow liquid inside it.

He grabbed the cup and put it on my lips, and I drank, the liquid tasted like- not exactly like the food mom used to make it tasted like home, even so, the best about it was that it flowed through my veins like molten lava healing me enough to move and grabed the cup from hades.

"What is this stuff" I said still drinking the liquid.

"Ambrosia, the drink of the gods" hades said making me nod.

"Now come along, it's not a good idea to keep my wife waiting" hades said walking away making me follow along.

But before I left I started out of the window of the bedroom, the sight that I was giving destroyed any doubt that I had about all this, I was showed the underworld in all its glory, the lakes made of lava, the lines of hundreds of souls waiting to be judge, Cerberus guarding the door to the castle and so many more that I could not describe it.

After seeing such a spectacle, I quickly caught up to hades and followed along, while we walked in silence, I looked at the passing paintings and other things in the seemingly endless hallway, soon though we arrived at a huge door that I could only guess lead to the dining room, and without waiting a moment hade opened it.
