Thread: Second Life (LukeDeadwoodXSWN1994)

The circle of Gods and Goddess began to mutter and speak on the matter of Hades. The ruler of the underworld had gotten a strange illness which threaten his very existence as well as the realm he watched over. The God laid on the cold slab of iron on which his brother Zeus fruitlessly tried to heal his brother once again. It failed. What do we do? At this rate he will be gonewhere do we go for our death? Nowherewe are Gods, but only that. Zeus frowned as he stepped away from Hades to have his servants care for him for a moment. Looking above he watched the others begin their way to the pair and many trying to suggest things. No, nonone of that will work. Weve triedSo many times now. Perhaps though we could I re refuse... I will I will not become human. Hades coughed as he forced himself to sit up. The beings grey skin seeming so pale and dark hair fading like a dying flower. The Gods turned to the ill man and whispered among themselves before Zeus shushed them before returning to his brothers side. Since they began to rule over the human world Hades had always been there as the logical side for everything and even took up the position as the God of The Underworld which no one wanted to take the role of. Come now, why wouldnt you want to be reborn? Besides becoming the youngest of our family? I also cannot leave my kingdom without a ruler. The souls need controlling and not to mention keeping them away from the humans. Do you know what chaos would ensue if I were to simply be gone for human years? We can take care of your kingdom well you recover, and why is being young so bad? Youve been an old man since you escaped fathers womb. This second chance at life would be wonderful for you the most. Zeus said as he placed his hand on the weak being's shoulder. Hades sighed softly and thought for a moment. His subjects and souls were already suffering with his lack of rule, and Zeus wasn't all bad. Then again there were women down there too. Rubbing his neck the man could feel his lungs struggle to produce anything and for a moment everything went dark. When Hades woke up it was decided that he would be reborn. Hades had almost died this time. Urion! the teacher called out for his student as he looked over the gardens where the boy would normally go to during the afternoons. Urion, seventeen at this point, groaned as he laid underneath shade of the fruit tree. Hades, now known as Urion, found himself born of royalty thanks to Zeus and honestly hated the position among the humans. Nothing was clean cut or to the point. Even his birth had been a threat to his new found life as he was born with neither features of his parents and only lived because of intervention from his siblings. Athena to be correct. The God had grown into his human form well and his health was perfect. With midnight black hair and bored grey eyes the young man covered his face as he heard his teacher call for him once again. I have died of boredom! Perhaps I will return tomorrow with new life! Unrion called out as he was not all to please with this teacher. He was touchy. Hades, Urion? the names mixed often, found this life to be quite normal. If not troublesome now again in human ways. Though, having a father who didn't try to eat you at birth and a mother to be take care of in young years was actually nice. Not to mention pleasant to learn how express emotions much better. Just a few perks of being reborn. It was later into the day when Urion had to return by his parents side as they were expecting gifts in the form of animals, food, foreign cloths, and foreign slaves. Urion was to turn eighteen within the month and finding that many of their allies and friends were going to send many gifts for such a celebration. Now Urion, the next are the new slaves. Though we may not keep them, we have far too many so please do not grow attach to any. Of course mother. Urion smiled softly to the woman who he had grown to love very much. She was a lovely woman with golden hair and Urion had made it clear, in his fourth year of being alive, that he did want his brother to try and sleep with her. It was a funny sight to say the less to see such a smile child arguing with the bull and even scolding it. Zeus often came down as animals to check of Hades as well as give updates on the underworld. The freckled face man watched as the slaves were brought in. Just another row of humans...that was up until he saw the last one enter.
