Is Audrey's Granny Suss?

The Lilies of the Willow 2/2

I was absolutely on the verge of crying when I wrote the Hades' advice to Ben while he was crying, because this is how I feel about my own Dad, it is not hate for older men, it is just every time I tell my Dad something he won't believe me. Especially when I get sick. So if I write a real placid rigid character chances more often or not it will be the Dad because that is what happens to me with my Father he never knows how to just listen. Hades is way more mature than Zeus because he's the second oldest of the family he was born into so that's why I made him sober and a strong listener who understands taking pity on people. A quality nowadays way overlooked and under-appreciated. And truer to his Greek myths he takes pity on Hercules twice. Hope you enjoyed last chapter and what Hades said to Ben hit a chord or nerve in you yourself: that's Great! It means you get it what he's saying to King Ben-Lumna10
