"Make me do something." He ordered.
"Like what?"
"Anything."
"Just like that?" She asked.
He huffed, "Ariel just do as I say."
"Yeesh, why are you so pissy today?" She asked, rolling her eyes.
"Because the war has started and you're joking around." The dark lord growled.
"I am not joking around, I just asked a simple question."
"Just do as I say!" He yelled, the wood in the fireplace catching fire.
Ariel gasped and took a step back.
She wrinkled her eyebrows and gritted her teeth. "Smack yourself." She ordered.
Hades rolled his eyes. "Try again."
"You think it'll work? You're like one of the two most powerful beings in the world. You really think I can compel you? I don't even think I could compel Adrien!"
"Ariel just breath and focus, look into my eyes and feel the power surge inside you. You have to want to compel me. Really want it. Believe you can and it'll work."
Ariel shut her eyes tight, and then grabbed Hades by his face suddenly nearing him to hers, she looked deep into his cold silvery eyes, "Tell me why you're pissed off today. Be honest."
Hades looked like he was struggling, he didn't want to answer that, he tried to fight her compulsion, but failed, his eyes widening, pupils dilating and constricting as he monotonously spoke, "I'm afraid we're near to freeing the Olympians, and that Selene will not grant me my wish to have a mate like you. I am the god of death, and love will make me unjustly and weak. She will deny me my wish... I-I don't want to be alone for eternity."
Ariel pulled away, staring at him, unblinking.
Hades, on the other hand, blinked getting pulled out of his daze, before staring at her his face holding so much hatred and embarrassment, she's never seen him like this.
His face hardened as he gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, while Hermes turned to the window probably wishing he was not there.
In a flash, Hades stormed out of the office not even giving Ariel a chance to explain.
She turned to run after him but Hermes stopped her, "Let him be. He needs to cool down. Maybe after the night is over you could talk things through."
Ariel nodded before holding onto Hermes' hand so they could teleport.

3 more days to battle. That's all Ariel could think about. It's almost over. They just have to be strong for 72 more hours.
"Hades should be here soon." Hermes' voice sounded.
Ariel nodded as she swallowed dryly.
