"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.

"What...Where is Hera?" Although he was certain that she was the queen and could take care of herself yet he could not help but be truly worried. Even Hebe did not know where she was.

"What have you done Zeus?" The man with electrifying blue eyes looked at Hades in turmoil. He was so confused in the moment regarding Hera, he saw her withdrawing and could not help but sleep with a nymph just now to see if it evokes the emotions inside her, by now she must be screaming and throwing things at him.

She must have been cursing that nymph but where was she?

For the first time in centuries, Zeus felt his heart beating erratically, something bad was going to happen and he could feel it in his bones, once Hera was here, safe and sound and they have done fighting only then he could feel secure and assured that everything was well. With her by his side, nothing could defeat him.

She was his strength but why was Hades watching him like that.

"What do you mean, where is Hera? Why is she not here? The bond is close, I can't...I can not feel her." As if the arrogant god was feeling something was wrong his own heart trembled.

Why is she not here raising hell and destroying his precious artifacts?

Why is she not chasing the girl he had sex with today?

"Do you remember brother? Centuries ago she was personally escorted by you, she refused to be your Queen countless times, yet you did not let her be and finally after tricks and lies....you finally made her your queen. At first I wasn't satisfied with your ways but then I saw how much you loved her.

You truly loved and cared for her and wanted to give her so much, you wished to give her the world you told me and that true love in your eyes changed my view.

I saw that day in your wedding, you both were so happy and I could not be more proud of you. That day the girl I saw was so lively, just by looking at her would bring the world to life, bring dead to life..."

Zeus had a sharp pain in his chest before his palm pressed there to sooth the anguish and indeed he remembered, after so long finally Hera was his and he had got her all for himself. She was his queen, only she deserved to be at that position and no one else. He remembered looking at her and feeling as if she was beyond beautiful.

She was his soulmate, the time had stopped the day when they were married and the cerulean irises of Zeus became the most electrifying that day when he came to realize that this woman, the goddess that was beyond the reach of others was his consort and she would be it till eternity.

There was not even one single time when she wasn't the perfect wife but he......he was never a husband to her. Zeus clenched his eyes shut when he concluded that indeed, it has been so long and now he wasn't even completely aware of who she was. She did not came to even curse him today.

She had changed.

"Brother, please tell me where is she. I promise-"

"Your promises are as worthless as your vows to keep her safe Zeus, your wife came to me today. My best friend who used to scare the demons even was standing infront of me so vulnerable, crying and weeping. I saw her break down Zeus, saw each and every part of her soul blooded and wounded by you."

A tear trailed down the eyes of Zeus, he thought things were fine, they have been like this for thousands of years and not once she just....disappeared like this as if she did not even wished to see his face.

"She said she wanted to die Zeus." As soon as those words left Hades whose eyes were crystal shards crumbling beneath the hard exterior, thunderstrokes roared into the oblivion.

"W-What did you said?"

"Your presence is so toxic to her Zeus, you have taken such a kind soul with nothing but love and devotion filled inside of her and then at first you slowly clipped her wings with your rubic chains decorated with gems and diamonds.

You have caged her like some animal inside this great white palace of yours. See these Zeus, these snow palace walls of yours made with the most extravagant marbles and stones, do they bring you happiness, calm knowing after your wife is so exhausted that she wants to give up her immortality and die.

Thousand of years she had endured this terrible pain caused by you. Bit by bit you ripped off every sane part of her replacing it with dark gloomy chaos and then they expect her to show mercy.

If I had been at her place......I would never. I don't possess such strength.

She has stopped loving you a long time ago Zeus but this marriage that you thrusted upon her binds her to be honest with you, but you....lord! you are......since when did you become such heinous creature brother. I had loved you and respected you since eons and now, now I can not even look at you without seeing how you made her such a revengeful soul.

I feel disgust Zeus. You will remain my brother till eternity but how can I forget that Hera too is my god damn sister."

Zeus staggered back as if been slapped. His face crumbled as he looked, for the first time really looked into Hades' grey irises as Hades transferred the images of Hera breaking down into his mind. He saw her crying and shivering.

He had taken a Queen.

When did she became a lonely girl?

How long has this been going on?

Tears freely flowed down the cerulean irises as Zeus clutched Hades' hand and the lightning intensified.

"I will.....I will do anything to bring her back. I swear I will never cheat again-"

"Brother she is not tired of marriage this time......she is tired of living."
