Drake Jayr POV

Later that evening we stand at the throne room half hearing what Zeus says.
Zeus-I propose that Hercules marries your daughter Liliana.
-Of course not.
Lili-Sure thing.
I share a look with Liliana. I talk on our dragon language for her.
-You can't accept that. Why would you accept such a thing?
Lili-I can and I will. If I don't they'll keep annoying me until I agree. I might as well suffer a week rather than a few months.

(Back to Greek)

-Fine. Do wathever you want.
Lili-Alright then, let's plan the wedding.
Zeus-Perfect then. You two can leave now.
Herc-Sure thing. Let's go.
Two roars mix on the air as they leave. I watch how she goes away smiling and talking. When I turn to leave as well he stops me.
Zeus-We are not done with you yet.
-Of course.
He makes a gesture and I see how the worst woman ever comes inside with her high heels, tight dress, showing meat and her hair loose as always. I contain my anger as best as I can.
Ex-Hi DJ.
-Why are you here!?
Ex-You still need to work on that temper. Is as bad as it was then.
-Only with people that deserve it.
Zeus-Enough. She has made a petition for your daughter to be back under her custody.
-Durely you can't mean Astrid.
Ex-I most certainly am. She is my daughter too!
-A daughter you abandoned in my arms the very day she was born from you. Explicitly saying you didn't want her. I cared for her more than you did and I will not let you get close to her. Forty years with nothing and you appear thinking you deserve anything.
Ex-I do deserve it. She is my only child and she will care for me until I die.
-No.
Pushing her aside I turn to leave.
Ex-Don't you walk away from me.
I keep walking. She follows me. I ignore her ranting entirely until finally I manage to lose her at last.

Unfortunately for me the next day we are both with Zeus again. Is the most annoying thing ever.
Ex-You know I'm the best wife you can ever get.
I laugh deeply.
-A few points for you. First, I already married and you don't even reach the bottom of her feet. Second, we had stranger sex. You didn't know anything about me and you still found me and then you abandoned the baby with me for more than four decades. Third, you will allegate our blood relations, I did the DNA and she's mine. Fourth, you are only here for two reasons. You want her to care for you and you failed to find a better man than me. You won't succeed so leave.
Ex-You changed.
-Thank you. You're still a dirty whore.
Ex-Excuse me.
She shoves me aside before she storms away.
Hades-Did you had to expose sex to expose her?
-Not sure but it worked. There are whores proud to be whores and then there are whores who think they're high society instead of whores. I used to liked them both.
Hades-What women you like now?
-I don't know. Wichever lifts it, I guess.
Zeus-Get out.
-Thank you.
With that I leave happy. I managed to get my ex willingly out of here and Zeus to kick me out of a place where I didn't want to be.

Liliana POV
I smile happy at an annoyed Hercules working. I just dropped a bunch of dumb and useless information for him. I just enjoy annoying him. The more I do the closer he is to canceling our engagement.
That night I lock my doors and windows after making sure I'm alone on the bedroom. Hercules is a player and I don't like him so I closed. He won't have me.
I'm awake when he comes and tries to come in. I guess I should be thankful we're in Hades's home. Otherwise he would have broken in instead of giving up this easily. His fading footsteps finally ease me to sleep.
The next morning over breakfast they tell us both to go to the throne room wearing black.

Zeus-I wanted to let you know, that your previous engagement to my son Hercules is officially broken. You don't have the qualities that make a good wife.
I can feel dad squeezing my hand tightly, preventing my happiness to show. I'm happy at the news and angry at the reason but still I leave while dad is called to stay.

Drake Jayr POV
I focus myself on my breathing being calm after Lily leaves.
Zeus-I want you to call all your dragons here. I want to see them all together.
-They don't fit in here and they're not mine to call.
Z-You have a way to get them here so do it.
-I warned you.
With a deep breath I push my hand out and start creating a growing hurricane. When is big enough I add my aura and I whistle for noise. In the time of five minutes Lily's dragon arrive, the first one. It takes an hour for the rest of them to arrive and finally, stop the hurricane. I look around happy at the dragons. After making sure they're all here I present them.
-That is everyone.
Z-How many?
My brother's bloodline has 54 dragons while mine has 21.
-75 dragons.
Z-Are they aggressive?
I give that some thought before answering.
-Their temper aligns with the rider but usually their lazy, playful, attentive or protective.
Z-What do they eat?
Before any answer comes I cough. When I look down I see a jabaline sticking out of my chest towards the left. The dragons roar all around me. I look back to see the jabaline. Is longer than my height making the tip being deep on the floor and the opposite end be quite behind me.
I hold the front end with both hands and break it. It makes taking it out easier.
As soon as I take it out I kneel to control myself and my angered power. I hear everything my daughter says and the fight with the guy. I sigh when I get up after my wound heals. Unlike my brother, my healing takes longer. Instantly for a human but slow for a god like me. Especially since I have to focus on healing for that to go faster. I look just in time for his painful landing down the steps from the thrones to the center of the room.

He's dressed in leather and dragon skin and jewels made of dragon teeth and claws.
-Bastard.
I take one step forward before stopping myself. He only laughs as he comes to attack me with a dagger.
?-You should died with that jabaline.
The fact of him speaking draconian angers me even more.
?-All dragon riders should die.
-You do realize that means you should die too?
Dragon hunters are dragon riders that lost their dragons in any horrible, traumatic way. Most riders kill themselves to be with the dragon, others, like this one, become dragon rider hunters. Some hunt dragons hurting others like they were hurt while other hunt riders to free the dragons from them. This one hunts both because he's been doing it too long.
?-I'm going to kill your dragon.
I kick him away from me making him lose all of his things on the floor. Dragon pictures all over and some with him in it exposing them dragons and riders as trophies. Some even have both the dragon and rider on it. I grab one and when he attacks me again I stop him by the neck and slam him on the ground.
-Tell me about this picture.
?-That was my best hunt. Two dragons for the price of one. They were the easiest kill of all despite being two.
-You............
I throw him against the walls and with his own jabaline, I grab it and I smack him with it.
-Do you have any idea what you did? That was my dragon you killed! And my brother. How dare you!? Now for sure I'm going to kill you.
When I throw him to the other side I let him suffer the heat of my fire breath. I only remember he's resistant to fire after seeing him blocking it with his dragon scale clothing. He punches me towards the steps. I land on my back hitting my head in the process. I remember when my dragon died. I was there. Ash was there too and we were both being protected by our dragons, they sacrificed themselves so we could escape alive.
He jumps towards me and as he lands on me I grab his wrists to stop the blade. When he gets close enough to talk I act without thinking and I bite his nose and twist. He gets away from me screaming and yelling. I spit out his nose and I dash toward him punching and kicking him mercilessly. When he's all bloody and soft I break his limbs and bones one by one. First a wrist, then an elbow. Shoulder, a knee, ankle, both legs. I enjoy his pained screams and his begging as he tries to get away with his only remaining limb, an arm. I step on his back pressing him to the ground and then his head. I so want to break his head but I hesitate.
-Eat him.
I give him one last kick before I step away and the dragons that stayed prey on him. His screams fade into their bellies. As I turn to leave he speaks out to me.
Z-You are not done here. I'm not done with you.
-You..........you are done. We have nothing to say to each other. If you so want to find a wife for your copycat son here you go. The whore is eager to eat some godly meat and I know neither of the three of you would mind sharing the whore with both of you. Deal done and everybody happy. Now shut up and leave me alone.
I throw my ex in front of both Zeus and Hercules before I leave with my daughter. We are going straight home.

Jasmine James POV
When the dragons come back to my garden I smile relieved. They're all here and so I feed them for the night.
-You are all my big babies.
They come to me for their goodnight kiss and I wish them sweet dreams before going to sleep myself.
Several hours later I wake up to hard and incessant knocking on my door. I am surprised when I see my son and granddaughter there with sad and angry faces.
-DJ?
DJ-Mommy.
He hugs me tightly and crying.
-Alright, alright, come sit down.
I walk him to the couch where he leans his head on my lap while hugging my waist hiding his face on my belly. I rub his hair soothingly.
-Lily, what happened?
Li-A hunter. A murderer.
-Murderer?
Li-They kind of talked. Dad was going to spare him but he's dead now.
I sigh tired.
-Go home and rest. I'll stay with him.
She nods and leaves as slowly as she can. I fall asleep after getting him set on the couch. He's on one couch and I'm watching him from the other couch.
