Judgement

Persephone lead Zoe into huge room that looked like it made with black onyx. At the back of the room high on steps sat a throne which was made of the same stone but had silver spike coming from the tops. Zoe gasped at the man sitting on the throne he looked just like Zeus but his hair and beard were much shorter and very well kept. His eyes were a dark and were staring intently at Zoe as she followed Persephone. He had an intimidating presence but not menacing like one would think the king of the underworld would have.  Hades just sat in his throne watching her dragging Peggy along, never in her life had Zoe felt more scrutinized but she just her held high she wasn't going to let Hades know he made her nervous.

Reaching the bottom stairs Persephone stopped "My dear husband may I present our niece Zoe Stark" said Persephone in a cheerful tone. Zoe quick set down the statue and made a curtsy. "Your majesty, I want to thank you for for meeting with me I know you do not like outsiders" said Zoe. Hades nodded and stood up and walked down towards her. He had a power radiating from him as he walked down the steps. Zoe held her head high keeping her eyes looking straight into Hades's dark eyes they were so dark they were almost black and the intensity was piercing straight into Zoe's soul. Hades finally made it to the bottom of the stairway and he towered over her.  Zoe gave another small curtsy "Your majesty" said Zoe looking directly in his black eyes which captivating like he could directly into her soul, which wouldn't surprise her if could actually do that.

Hades held his hand to her "Niece, I welcome you to my realm, while most times I do not like visitors you are most welcome" said Hades in a deep bass voice. Zoe took his hand and looked at him with a questioning look. Hades just smiled "My dear Zoe you have brought me something I have been after for years" he answered before she could even ask. Hades stopped in front of the statue of Peggy Carter. "I have been after her for years, she is a thief and needs to pay for all that she has done" answered Hades his face looked at Carter's statue with disgust. Zoe understood that look " I am glad bring her to justice after all she has done said Zoe with pride. Hades turned to Zoe " My dear Zoe you have no clue what this creature has done over the centuries or hell the millennium she has stolen souls that should have came to me" said Hades angrily. Zoe grimace at that then her eyes widened "That's how she has survived for so long she feeds off the souls" said Zoe looking at Hades who just smirked "Brilliant truly brilliant just like your mother yes I am the guardian of all souls in the end I make judgement of where they will go when they come to the underworld. And Peggy or Pegasus has stole hundreds if not thousands of souls to feed herself and not only that she has stole people's fates and that has made Moirai quite unhappy" said Hades shaking his head. Moirai were powerful sisters not even Zeus mess with so to upset them was not good.

"The sisters are quite eager to meet you and they definitely will taking care of her judgement and punishment as well" said Hades with a slight shudder Zoe also shuddered if Fates make Hades shudder she couldn't even imagine what they have in store for Peggy. "Now let's get this trail on" said Hades guiding Zoe to a large black door Zoe turned around to grab Peggy but Hades stopped her "I got it" he said he raised the statue with was like an invisible hands carrying in behind them. They walked through the door into a room that was light and airy it had golden light shining through out the room. There was a large table in the center of the room and three chairs were surrounded it. Each of the chair was sitting a women one with auburn hair holding a spindle with bright white thread wrapped around it her hands spinning quickly the thread changing color to a light grey but the thread moved to the women in the center who had chocolate brown hair and she was mumbling hold the thread out measuring it and then it moved to women with beautiful silver hair with scissors and she was cutting the different threads each a different color and length and the threads moved to a tapestry that was truly stunning there were no words to describe how beautiful it was.

Hades stopped in front of the tables and gave a small bow to the Moirai which Zoe followed by giving a small curtsy. "Ladies I come to you with a gift" said Hades. The women looked up from their work and Zoe held back a gasp in two of the women there was no eyes only the middle had a blue one.  The middle women smiled as she looked up "I see you brought the creature..." said the women as she stood up in a white Greecian dress. Hades nodded "Yes Lachesis, brought to you by Zoe" answered Hades. Lachesis looked at Zoe from head to toe "Yes Zoe we thank you for bring this creature to us we are excited to see her finally brought to us, we gladly give her what she deserves" said Lachesis in a eerie tone. Zoe just nodded and didn't dare to ask what Peggy's fate at the hand these women.

The Elder Atropos the three stood up the eye shifted to her. She walked over to a rack that held several different threads and picked up a long one with it started out a a gray then turning into a beautiful sliver to where it was almost glowing. She walked over to one on a higher rack and picked up another long thread deep purple it shined brightly. As soon as she had the threads near each other the threads connected instantly. Zoe whole body started to glow a deep purple. Atropos hands moved quickly and the threads began to be intertwined with each other. Zoe felt a spark in her heart and then it pulled spreading out to rest her body. Atropos made the threads into two different bracelets with an infinity knot at the top sliver and purple blended and twisted together. "This is you and your soul mate's bond each of you have a bit of each other now. Souls forever intertwined with each other, one for each of you when you get back to the mortal plain place this his wrist never take it off do understand me child" said Atropos has she handed the bracelets to Zoe. Zoe nodded placing one of the bracelets on her wrist and then took the other and placed in her backpack.

Hades came to Zoe side "Watch this" he said quietly as Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos and Clotho surrounded Peggy's statue they began to sing words which Zoe couldn't understand the rock began to fade and turn back to real flesh again. Zoe went to move but Hades held her back and silently shake his head, Zoe began to get anxious but remembered the chains and only she could free her from them. Soon all but Peggy's mouth was free and her eyes wide as she looked around the room and at the sisters. Clotho had been silent spoke "Pegasus daughter of Medusa and Poseidon you are here to face your judgement and punishment, you were conceived and born in violence thus this all you know it is in your very being it is in your very soul" said Clotho firmly. Lachesis then step forward "Through out your life you caused so much violence and pain by stealing souls and fates that were not your own just to extend your pitiful life. Now it is to face the fate of your actions" said Lachesis in a dark tone.

Zoe watched as Peggy's eyes wides in fear and she struggled in the chains but they just tightened around her. Peggy looked at Zoe her eyes narrowed and her head moved like she was screaming but her mouth remain blocked. Atropos stepped forward the eye moving to her and she smirked "In death you with face violence as well for every piece you have stolen we will take back, you wanted eternity but will be nothing in the end" said Atropos as the once blue eye turn white and floated above them all. Slowly it began to spin and glow, soon all sorts of colors of threads began to pull from Peggy's body and then women looked like she was being pulled apart. Zoe took a step back in wonder as threads filled the room going on racks and some going into the tapestry on the wall. In a matter of minutes where Peggy once stood was nothing but the clothes she wore and the chains that had held her in pile on the floor. Peggy Carter was no more.
