Ch. 141: The Return Of Lord Hades
The ship let out a loud whistle as it reached docks. I had wanted to avoid drawing unneeded attention so I came back with a public cruise. Unsing the concealment cap given to me by miss Sin it was much easier for me to slip past the crowd.
Charon had prepared a car with my luggages onboard, he did not come to see me off. It seemed his pride would not allow it. Walking back in the underworld gave me a new sense of importance seeing as I was now a true god.
As I approached the car with Yvonne and Renee by my side it felt renewing mostly for them since they could not stop looking at everything around in surprise. The dogs hopped into the car one at a time in orderly manner and the girls followed suite. I started the engine and drove over to my mansion.
I made sure not to drive too fast for the girls to admire the city setting of the underworld Lea ing them in awe and astounded at the vastness of it.
I pulled up in front of the gate before my mansion. The speaker clicked. “Name and business, please.” It was the familiar strictness of Walters voice and it hadn’t changed one bit.
The dogs barked and Walter responded in a shocked tone. “Oh dear the lord is back.”
The gates soon started to open and the girls poked up at it in surprise, I drove in and over to the entrance where I stopped. Walter was already standing at the base of the stairs. I opened the door and alighted from it with my gaze set on him.
On seeing me he bowed and hurried to my sidd. “Lord Hades your return has been long awaited , your presence here is a blessing to my soul.”
I smiled and said. “It has been a while Walter. Come on our girls.”
Walter looked at them with alarmed eyes before then turning back to me. “Um, sir. Acquaintances of yourmight I ask?”
I smiled and said. “They’re friends who will ne staying a while here.”
Walter nodded and said. “How was the efforts of your training sir?”
I smiled and unleashed my aura over the place and watched it resonate over the entire city below. I could hear shouts of fear and reverence coming from below, not it was clear the lord of the underworld had returned in full force.
I walked past Walter and the two girls following behind into the house. “Walter, make them feel at he and take good care of them, I have other matters to attend to at the moment.”
I went to my room and took out my phone, it was alarming to see there were no messages from Talos since that night ten years ago. It did not sit well with me, something was wrong. Talos was not one to keep quiet for long. I feared the worst.
I scrolled through the net and found something intriguing, a news post about Pandora rising to the top of the fashion industry.
Apparently in my time in absence Apollo had grown his fashion empire to suppress Aphrodite. Though it was not that simple, there was more to it, this was not simple revenge it was war. Something deeper was in play and Pandora was at the center of it.
The only way I could get answers was to go to Olympus. I sent Talos another message but there was no reply. ”
I heard a soft knock on the door and raised my head. “Just come in, you have been standing there for a while now haven’t you?”
The door clicked and opened slowly, I looked up to see Hecate looking more beautiful than I ever remembered, her energy seemed more refined than the last time were were together. Had she been training all this time too?
“Yo!” I waved my hand
Hecate walked in, her dark hair swaying gently, her purple eyes on me and her dark lips curved in a frown. “Lord Hades, you just had to leave for so long. I felt your power across the entire city, so you managed to recover all your power.”
I smiled. “Quit standing there like a guest and come have a seat will you?”
She hesitated before coming over to the bed and sitting next to me. “I tried to contact you but Charon was adamant you needed to train in silence.”
“Quit being all serious, you can rest well now that I’m back Hecate.” I butt her on the shoulder and she looked at me her eyes filled with crystals and a strange light. “I want to apologize for leaving you for so long to run the place, I didn’t think my training would go on for so long.”
Hecate smiled and said. “You really do like to have your way, as much as I appreciate your sympathy I do have a feeling you might leave again soon.”
I had almost forgotten how perceptive she was. “Yeah? What gave me away?”
She smiled again and said. “A few years back when I was still synthesizing the black amber and trying to find a cure I got contacted by the midnight bird. It was stated for me to tell you to return as soon as possible. Something about the allaince you spoke of.”
I looked away from her and thought to myself. So Talos was safe? I felt a huge wave of relief in my chest, but why did she not send me any messages or respond to me?
Hecate leaned in closer with her hair draping down the side and overshadowing one of my eyes. “Hades I want to know what’s going on, all this time training. Being poisoned, working with the serpentine tribe, formind an allaince. Please I have never made a request to you before but now I ask this.”
I looked at her face just inches away her breath on my face and locked eyes with her.
“It’s tied to Hermes isn’t it?” She asked.
I nodded.
“And you won’t tell me?” She asked again.
I smiled lightly, “I think it’s time we get the allaince together that way I can explain better. It’s time for our first official meeting.
