Hades didn't know why, he never cared about any of his nieces and nephews doing their trials before. He figured this was different because this was his own kid. His kid is so easy to talk to and she has his smart mouth which he's pretty amused by.

The Gods all looked down to see the minotaur about to charge the temple of Athena.

"What are you waiting for?" Athena snapped at Harmony.

"Shut up, I know what I'm doing." Harmony said as she watched the minotaur smash Athena's temple.

"YOU STUPID GIRL!! YOU FAILED YOUR TRAIL!"

Harmony grabbed Athena by the throat. "The challenge was I stop the minotaur before sunset and it's not sunset yet. Remember what I said about you earlier, how you cursed a rape victim?"

"Oh get over it! Why do you even care?!"

"Because bitch!" Harmony growled. "My adopted mom is also a rape victim, and trust me I would love to do more to you than just let your temple get destroyed."

"I love your kid Hades, maybe I can introduce her to my sons." Ares said to Hades.

"No." Hades said right away.

"Why?"

"Because your sons are idiots."

Harmony let go of Athena and went back to her cheerful self. "Alright, I just need 15 minutes, maybe less."

The Gods all stared at her shocked once again.

"You have until sunset dear." Persephone reminded her.

"Don't need it." Harmony said as she cracked her knuckles then snapped her fingers making the minotaur appear.

"What? How did I?" He looked at all the Gods and was about to see if he could fight or escape but Harmony stood in front of him. "No need to be alarmed sir, they are just here as spectators."

"Who are you?" The minotaur asked her.

"When is she gonna punch him already?" Ares asked only to be shushed by the curious Gods.

Harmony snapped her fingers and Olympus's light was now dim.

"Oh no." Hades groaned knowing what was coming.

"What?" Persephone asked.

Harmony then started to sing.

Harmony:

Every world is run on but a simple rule
Not a case of what you know, but who

Looking at you, I think, perhaps
You're wanting more than table scraps
So just imagine what a girl likе me
Can do for you?

"Are you... saying you can help mе?" The minotaur asked

Harmony nodded. "A proposal, if you'll hear me out."
"I... suppose?" The minotaur agreed not seeing the harm in listening to what she has to say.

Harmony's smile went wider.

Harmony:

Splendid!
I see big things coming your way
Now onto business
Everything's better with a song
Don't you agree?

This way good man
We've a deal to make!
I assure this is a good thing for
Both our sakes
I'm happy to provide
But remember your side
Of a bargain I know
You can't refuse to take

All I ask is when I
Boost your station
Remember who gave you this
Grand ovation!
If I call on you
For a favor or two
Don't forget it's now
Your obligation!

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
TAKE A CHANCE AND YOU COULD SEIZE IT!
I'm sure you'll do just well
I'm the goddess raised in HELL
So listen to me and guarantee it!
SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!
GRIT YOUR TEETH AND GET RIGHT TO IT!
Forget the rigmarole
And you can HAVE IT ALL
And make it that much better
It's better than seeing temples fall!

Still unconvinced?
Well, why not take the word
Of someone else?

Nifty!


Nifty stopped cleaning and ran over dancing around the minotaur

Nifty

They say you reap what you sow
And everyone in Hell well knowns
That what my darling niece wants
She's gonna have
I've seen her kill HELL'S greatest evils
Shake the status quo in upheaval
So if you think you're gettin' outta this?
That's a laugh!

Stop messing around!
We don't have forever
We all raised Harmony to be
Slick and clever

Doin' what she want's just the cost you'll pay
Enough of this stalling
We ain't got all day!
Just sign the thing so we can go
And take my niece home

Harmony:

In other words...

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
RISK IT ALL AND WE CAN SEIZE IT!
I'm sure you'll do just well
I'm the goddess raised in HELL
So roll the dice and see if you can be it!
SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!
EMBRACE THE DARK AS THOUGH YOU KNEW IT!
You can stand up tall
And act WITHIN MY THRALL
And I'll be there to watch you
It's better than seeing temples fall!

So what, my friend
Whatever will it be?
I can give you what you crave
Just not for free
You know what's on the line
And this whole thing's on borrowed time
But you can trust the girl who's wording
Is one guaranteed!

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
TAKE A CHANCE AND YOU COULD SEIZE IT!
I'm sure you'll do just well
I'm the goddess raised in HELL
So listen to me and guarantee it!
SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!
GRIT YOUR TEETH AND GET RIGHT TO IT!
Forget the rigmarole
And you can HAVE IT ALL
And make it that much better
When I see you

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
RISK IT ALL AND WE CAN SEIZE IT!
I'm sure you'll do just well
I'm the goddess raised in HELL
So roll the dice and see if you can be it!
SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!
EMBRACE THE DARK AS THOUGH YOU KNEW IT!
You can stand up tall
And act WITHIN MY THRALL
And I'll be there to watch you
Yes, I'll watch you
I will make you
BREAK you
It's better than seeing temples fall!


Harmony stops and hands a contract to the minotaur, when he reads it he does have a real smile on his face.

"So." Harmony holds out her hand. "It's a deal then?"
