"Hades" A song of utter helplessness it was, the voice so sweet yet the contracting emotions so high like a whirlwind, he felt her before his eyes could see her, she was his sister and best friend after all and when she teleported infront of his throne Hades smile vanished replaced by a horror so deep that he was left without any voice, rhyme or scheme, without a voice as ifhe had a setback to see someone so dear to him like this.

So heartbroken that it was visible.

Who was the woman standing infront of him?

She was once considered to be the most precious of all, a true beauty inside and out, the goddess who has veins of steel and never backed even if it meant raising hell. She was the one who treated his wounds when they were younger, she was Hera.

She had been kind, had been cruel but defeat, Hera never knew the word.

But not today.

And then at a closer look she wasn't the Hera he knew, a defeated and isolated look was etched upon her face, there was no happiness just sorrow and god the way she wrapped her own arms around herself, body trembling with eyes red and swollen,hot tears flowing nonstop. Hades quickly went up to her and Persephone feeling his distress ran to the throne room wide eyed.

The woman was unable to balance herself as she slipped down falling on the ground making Hades rush to her supporting her up.

"Hera!" The golden hair goddess clutched his black suit and the moment his arms supported her providing warmth to her ice cold body the silent tears turned to loud wails. When Persephone opened the throne room and watched the scene her own palm covered her mouth in horror and astonishment.

"What is it Hera please tell us. What is it love?" Persephone came behind the heartbroken goddess rubbing her back to sooth her but it was futile. The couple supported Hera and before they knew Hades had opened a black portal making them walk to a comfortable room where they help the goddess sit, on both side of her were the King and Queen of Underworld.

"What happened Hera?" Persephone clutched her hand while Hades asked the woman even though he knew what was happening.....it has been so many centuries since this sick game of Zeus was being played.

"I don't want to live like this anymore Hades, its...I just want to die. too much.....its getting too much." As if a thunderbolt had struck Persephone she went on her knees infront of Hera on the ground looking up at the woman who was considered as her closest friend.

"Hera we both are going to talk and Hades, if I may ask please go to that King of gods and give him a piece of mind..." she spat.

"...Ask him is he satisfied now, does he feels happy to push her to such an extent." Hades wasn't paying attention to anything now. With a completely numb look he asked one question that he had dreaded to ask for so long.

"Do you feel it?" As if someone had poured cold water all over her body, the cries got hysterical yet silent as Hera facepalmed before brokenly answer a yes.

"It hurts, it hurts so much."

Persephone was unable to see Hera in such state and held the goddess in her embrace.

Hades had no answer, no question left anymore and he silently came out of the room, rims of his eyes red as he opened a portal leading him to somewhere where he wished to truly go and ask some questions that were buried in his heart since so long.

Zeus was walking back and forth in the white embellished throne room when out of the black smoke his brother appeared before him, making Zeus go to him and open his mouth to ask a question but his movements froze when he saw the look in Hades' eyes.
