Hades and Persephone (Part 10) - FINAL

HADES SAT ON HIS THRONE, GLANCING OUT THE WINDOW. He watched the fires rise and fade, and heard the distant screams of the tortured souls. He remembered the first day Persephone was brought into his world, and how afraid he was. He remembered her fear, how she trembled. But eventually, as he hoped she would, she began to accept him and this world he resided over. He looked back on his choice. And he knew it was the right one. As Zeus had said himself, Hades was a fool. And he did not care what his brother said of or to him, for he had gotten what he wanted. His plan was executed flawlessly. Reaching beside him, Hades dipped

Hades and Persephone (Part 9)

DEMETER SMILED UP AT THE SKY. The clouds were beginning to fade, but they were still hiding the bright blue color of the sky, and blocking out the warmth of the sun. Their darkness and gloominess would not completely disappear until Demeter held Persephone in her arms. Until she could feel the serene warmth and comfort of her daughter. Persephone is returning, she thought with a smile. Zeus had told her that she would come back soon, and she knew that by this time, Hermes had descended down into the hell that had been keeping her sweet daughter captive for so long to bring her back. The ground beneath her bare feet began to

THUNDER BOOMED IN THE DISTANCE. “Brother, is that necessary?” Hades asked. Zeus turned toward him, sighing. “You did not heed my warning, Hades.” “If I am to be honest, I did not even acknowledge it in the first place,” Hades responded. “Which was exactly what I guessed you would do. My fool of a brother. Infatuated with a mere, insignificant child.” “‘Insignificant?’ She is your daughter, Zeus.” Zeus let out a scoff. “I have many children. Demeter coddles her enough for the both of us. The child prefers her, anyway. That’s w

Hades and Persephone (Part 7)

AS PERSEPHONE LAY IN HER BED, HER MIND WOULD NOT STOP RACING. Her thoughts were wild, and she guessed that maybe her immortal heart was somehow in shock. She had never truly experienced that kind of fear. Being kidnapped by Hades was by no means pleasant, but being attacked like that, being bitten by that thing… And most of all, seeing Hades. Persephone knew little of the god of the Underworld, having been sheltered by her mother all of her immortal life. But the little that she did know did not include his compassion, however slight it was. A realization dawned upon her then as she looked around her chambers

Hades and Persephone (Part 6)

AFTER LEAVING THE CHAMBERS, HADES HURRIEDLY WENT TO HIS. As soon as he was inside, he slammed the door shut behind him. It echoed with a loud thud. A passing thought went through his head about Persephone hearing it, but he ignored it, cursing himself as he thought of her. Why could he not get her out of his head? Why was it that every single time he closed his eyes, he would see hers? It drove him mad, this unknown feeling. What was it? He remembered a time ago, when he had thought what he was feeling was love. That too, was an unknown feeling to him. He had seen it, certainly. He had seen the loved ones of the dead grieving

spark.

Cold winter night, starless sky A flickering light, reckless heart The spark began, strong at first, Digressed into a wavering flame Time went by, chilly wind blew The candle stayed alit No draw of breath, no lips of wintry blue Did extinguish the growing flame Summer came, then, and alas the flame grew Allowed words of the stars to flow into the night The flame a starry yellow hue Dreams of you in heaven’s light Frost came then, and the flame began to die Withering like the flowers of spring Covered in white snow as the morning sighed And was covered too, in the bitter clouds. The flame grew stronger, as I thought of you Of dancing

Hades and Persephone (Part 5)

PERSEPHONE SAT IN HER ROOM, glancing at the window. There was not much to look at. Hades had put her room away from the others, toward the wastelands of the Underworld, the empty lands, where there was nothing much besides black ground and pillars of smoke. She knew that if her room were at the other end of the palace, she would see fire and destruction. Hades had said he would return in a day or two. That meant she still had a slight chance to get out. Not of the Underworld. She knew that was impossible. She wanted to at least see the gardens. If anything, they were still growing things, and they offered no ridicule or emotions. She s

Hades and Persephone (Part 4)

PERSEPHONE WALKED THE corridors of the castle, wringing her hands. She had made sure she looked like she hadn't been crying. The thought angered her. She felt fragile, like the flowers she used to care for. What had she done to deserve this? Why was she going through this punishment, this condemning trial? She was vulnerable. And she did not want to be. Stopping, she leaned against a wall, making sure there was no one there. She closed her eyes, leaning her head back. If you can hear me, Mother, Father, please come for me. I'm waiting for you. Please. Suddenly, she heard footsteps near her. She composed

Hades and Persephone (Part 3)

SHE WOKE, BUT COULD NOT TELL IF IT WAS DAY OR NIGHT. It was too dark to decide. The girl immediately closed her eyes, pulling her limbs in closer to her, wrapping herself in a ball. She was lost. No, she had been taken. And brought to the worst place imaginable. The Underworld. She squeezed her eyes tighter, hoping that when she'd open them again, she'd once more be in her meadow, her soft, green, warm meadow filled with flowers. She didn't need to open her eyes to know she was still far from home. She began to shiver, and pulled the blankets tighter around her. Blankets? Slowly, she opened her eyes. She wa

THE GIRL FELL TO THE GROUND. The man pulled forcibly on the reins, stopping the horses. He stepped off of the chariot, ordering the horses to vanish. They did, taking the chariot with them. He did not go any closer to the girl. He stood, motionless on the spot. He only watched her, making sure she was alive. Had her fear of him killed her? Impossible, he chastised himself, for she was immortal. But she could surely try her best. If she wanted to, she could go into a deep sleep that could last for centuries. He was worried she would do this. Tentatively, he stepped toward the girl, his boots crunching the snow underneath hi

Dream for Me

The night had always been his favorite time of day. The streets were quiet, but for the occasional throaty rumble of an old car. The houses were silent, their shutters closed, lights off. The only disturbance was the flicker of a streetlamp, an occasional bark from the neighbor dog. Yet, if for only a few hours, there was peace. Sandy felt a little shiver of delight as he curled around in the sky, curlicues of sand weaving around to form his perch. As he did each night, at precisely this time, the work of the Sandman commenced. The little figure raised his arms, and small figments of sand grew out of the air, weaving between his fingertips.

0 min read

Hi. It's me. More than a year later. Obviously, things have happened since my last journal post, and I haven't logged into DeviantArt basically since then because it got away from me and I've recently wanted to maybe try picking up writing fanfiction & publishing it on tumblr (where I like to READ fanfiction) and it reminded me of DeviantArt. If anyone who read & for some reason enjoyed Hades & Persephone, and you don't wish me to fall into the pit of Tartarus (heh), I have a surprise. I'm going to post the last two parts of H&P tonight. Because why not. I haven't even looked them over yet, and I probably will just to see

...hi. (See the bottom for a tl;dr if you wanna skip me complaining about my health issues) I'm pretty sure that if I do decide to open up the Hades and Persephone story again, I'm not going to be able to see any words behind the cobwebs.  In my mind, I DO have an excuse for not writing/posting the rest. Whether or not the people that follow me on here SEE said excuse, however... Anyway. Long story short, my health declined rapidly. I know, and it wasn't a "poor little baby can't sit with her laptop and write" thing, either. It was a BIG decline. A completely vertical drop into mutant shark-invested waters with sharp rocks and- You g

Hi, everyone. This won't be a ranting journal, I promise. I'll get straight to it. About a month ago, my dad and cousin both got into a horrible accident out of town (we were visiting family up in another state for July 4th). I've been there, away from home, spending my nights in a hospital for the past few weeks and I have been focusing on my family and completely (and rightfully) ignoring my social medias and the like, including all of my writing. School starts up soon for me, and I'm going to be one stressed girl. I don't know when I'll start posting, but it won't be for a while. My apologies. But then again, this wasn't something I cou

Hi there,

This is urgent. FCC Chair – and former Verizon lawyer – Ajit Pai declared war on the Internet as we know it with his plan to kill net neutrality rules.

I just submitted a comment to the FCC to protect a free and open Internet by REJECTING Pai's plan to kill net neutrality.

Could you add your name, too? act.demandprogress.org/go/1342…
