As The Last Peddle Falls

Chapter 1: Time Skip Ten Years

PERSEPHONES POV

I lay in the field thinking of the world. Is this all that life offers for me as the spring goddess? Just to tend to flora? Are there other gods and goddesses other than my mother? Ive read books of three brothers who rule a place. . . what was it called? Olympus. . . the home of all gods. The three brothers who ruled were known as Zeus, the god of thunder. Also known as the King to Olympus. The princes are Poseidon, god of the seven seas and Hades, god of the underworld. Death. . . Why is he the god of death? I've seen pictures of him. . . He looks scary and it seems everyone is terrified of him. But then again, these gods and Olympus are all just myths.

I think about Olympus and how many gods might be there. The different types of nymphs and the three brothers. How did gods come to be? I keep asking myself questions before eventually falling asleep under the starry night.

My arm is yanked as I'm dragged down into the underworld by Hades. He holds a pure black scythe staff as he begins to open a portal to hell. He walks in dragging me along.

"LET ME GO!" I scream and thrash at him but he only tightens his grip. When he looks back at me, red eyes appear from inside a dark hood. I see his white teeth show as a smile forms on his face. He chains my arms and watches me trying to break through them.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! IM NOT SCARED OF YOU, LET ME GO!" I scream making a chuckle escape from him.

"Your not scared? Lets see about that." He removes the cover over his head to reveal pitch black hair and a scar under his chin. I feel coldness surround my body making me shiver. My heart begins to race as he walks up to me and around me.

"Such a weak little goddess. . ." He says as he circles around me.

"We have gods and goddesses of war, thunder, the seven seas. . . DeAtH." He licks his lips and cups my chin making me look up at him into the eyes.

"And the weakest of them all. . . Kore Persephone, little goddess of flowers." I clench my teeth and kick him back. I feel my heart begin to pump fire through my veins and I break the chains restraining me. I summon a scythe with thorns and roses poking out everywhere on it. My hair leaves my shoulders and back lifting into the air. I lift my weapon to him and feel my eyes begin to burn.

"Goddess of SPRING." I yell before throwing my weapon side to side making everything around us crumble. Black roses begin to cover the ground below me wherever I step.

I jolt out of bed rubbing my head. It was just a dream. . . just a dream. I stand up looking all around me. Everything looks the same making me let out a sigh.

"Just a dream. . ." I walk into my house to see my mom has made breakfast.

"Goodmorning mother." I say before setting the table and taking my seat. She brings the food over to me setting it in the middle of the table.

"Goodmorning Persephone, did you sleep out in the field today again?" I nod my head filling my plate with food.

"Thats a lot of food Persephone, whats wrong?" I shake my head smiling at her.

"Nothing mother. I'm fine." She shakes her head filling her plate.

"You eat a lot when your stressed or worried about something." I smile gently and begin to cut up my eggs.

"Whose Hades, mother?" She begins to choke on her food and quickly takes a sip of her water smiling at me.

"W-where did you hear of that name?"

"The mortals have a library of other gods and goddess living in a place named Olympus and well. . . I keep having dreams of Hades. . ." Her eyes immeditely show how enraged she is.
