Chapter 103 - Chapter 103 : some godly guests

Apollo, Hermes and Artemis sat at a long table in front of them was a wide variety of breakfast food sat across from them was my captions to demonic legion but even with this taste food right in front of them only one side of the table ate there was an intense oppressive silences that hang over the left side of the table where the gods sat it felt like in any moment all hell would break loose only wall on the right side of the table the demonic legion members was scarfing down the delicious food in front of them Apollo looked disgusted at my tribesman table manners wall Hermes sat there with a small amused smile cuz on his left Artemis was digging into the food with wild abandoned just like the demonic legion members Apollo side saying really sister have some dignity and restrain your self but Artemis ignored him and continue to eat like a barbarian a few more minutes of this passed and Apollo started to show signs of irritation when the double doors flew open and a cold powerful presents swept over the room the moment it did all of the captions of the demonic legion stopped eating and immediately stood up Artemis did the same Hermes soon followed her lead wall Apollo froze his face was ghostly pale and a look of fear was on his face Duke and daisy walked in and moved to sit behind the black chair that had purple cushions on it at the head of the table they sat on either side of the chair which had a blood red and gold chair place on its left and one its right was a dark green and blue chair just down from the blue chair sat Eragon he was in a nice Black and Green rob that had dark purple thorny flowers on it the moment Duke and Daisy sat down was when three people walked through the door and who but it be but me and my beautiful wifes of course I was in-between the two locked arms with them I had on a Rob that was black, in color with Red and gold dragons moving up the sleeves but on my chest right over my heart was a three headed black dog and on my right shoulder was a gray owl sitting on an obsidian black and snow white skull my scales shined like gems in the light and resting on my head was a simple obsidian crown that had gold spikes and white gems place on it my necklace hung around my neck openly for everyone to see the bident hanging in the center of it with the half moon blade attached to the bidents blade and placed on either side was two sword hilts my simple skull bracelet was the only peace of jewelry I had and if one looked real close they would notice the two pistols on my hips tucked under my robes on my left was Layla she wear a beautiful but simple blood red rob with a elegant, but practical Black and gold breast plate strapped to her hip was a black hilted sword that had a purple gem in its hilt the blade itself was sheathed in a black and gold scabbard but what really stood out was these gold and red claws shape jewelry that was on every finger these claws was as sharp as the sharpest blade but the fact she didn't cut her self or even sliced anything she tried to hold in half is wild but not surprising wall on my right was Harriett she had on a smooth elegant dark green dress that had black vines with blood red thrones moving up the dress and wrapped around her waste was a black cloth touched in the back of this cloth was two curved daggers one had an obsidian black hilt and the other had a blood red hilt both had a Dark purple gem in the hilt plus tucked under her sleeve was her pistol but on her hands was similar claws to Layla but hers was black and dark green and the fact she to didn't cut anything she touched is wild and is a testament to both of my wifes skills with weapons on each of there heads was a twisted black tiara which was simple but elegant and one that shown a clear meaning they see each other as equals as sisters normally the first wife is seen as the head wife and in this case that is true but unlike whats normal both Layla and Harriett have excepted each other as sisters who share a husband we walked in through the door and slowly started moving around the table following behind us was the huge frame of Pepper my wifes chairs was pulled out for them as I sat them down before moving to the head of the table Pepper moved and laid down right behind Layla and appearing slightly behind Harriett's chair was the dark and menacing form of JackO and the moment JackO appeared is the moment Apollo lost his cole he shot up and pointed a finger at Jacko yelling you dare show yourself in front of me beast after what I seen you doing to that poor woman outside Jacko slowly looked to Apollo and chuckled you have no authority over me especially when I was under orders by my master Apollo fround hearing that and he turned to look at me with a confused but angry expression he looked at me like one would look at their younger brother who just did something stupid or heard they did anything that they didn't approve of explain yourself Nekros y was there a young woman being filleted alive and healed again and a child of obin at that I shrugged as I sat down in my chair saying everyone can be seated everyone sat down immediately but Apollo stayed standing up his frown deepening at me ignoring him I then waked my hand and fresh food was brot in ones it was laid down I picked up my mugs and held it up yelling to the tribe everyone but the gods held up there mugs and yelled for the demonic legion and long live the king with that we all took a long drink before slamming are mugs on the table when we did everyone drugged into the fresh food now for you and I looked to Apollo who looked like he was about to blow up with anger cousin Apollo to answer your question the woman was a trader and tried to hurt some of my people as such she is being punished it is as simple as that Apollo angry expression faded onto a disapproving frown but she is a daughter of Odin and a woman shouldn't you show her at least a little mercy I looked at him with a puzzled expression y should I show mercy to someone who wouldn't have shown me or my people any of this so called mercy so no elder cousin I shall not show any mercy to my and mine peoples enemies Apollo shook his head disappointedly and sat down saying it would seem the inside reflects the outside a monster the moment I heard that a huge beastly grin spread across my face as I spoke no cousin it is the other way around the outside finally reflects the inside I have always been this way and none of you Olympian gods complained when I was slaughtering Templars as I and my forces fought against one of their great crusade Apollo fround and shook his head says that is different child and you know it I took a swig from my mug before coldly staring at him with a cold ruthlessness and my eyes shined darkly as I remembered of battles long passed and all the people I had lost and I had killed as I remembered the past the room got deathly quiet and the temperature dropped to the point frost started to form on the ways and dancing around the room was the forgotten shadows figures of long ago nothing spoke but they all heard them the people of the past laughing, singing, crying, fighting and dying and in a deep powerful cold voice I spoke you might have forgotten them Apollo but I have not you might have the luxury to forget those who have fallen by your hand or under your orders but I have no such luxury I remember all there screams there please for mercy there sabs and lastly there faces after death I have lead hundreds of the children of the gods and I have not forgotten any of them who have died under my command and do you want to know y I paused for a moment before my eyes burst with a wild blue fire as I lend forward hissing of course you do so I will tell ya it is because I am connected to death I am a portal to the other side as such any creatures who die around me souls are immediately drown to me to move to the other side as such I feel everything that person want through in there final moments all of there fear all there hope all of there despair I feel everything ones more I gain some of their memory and this memory is burned into my head making it impossible for me to forget Apollos face piled hearing that so did Artemis and quite a few of my captions also but Slade, Ark, Harriett, Layla, ,Hermes and Eragon didn't look surprised especially Eragon who has experienced what I am talking about first hand Apollo shuttered I had no idea I am but I snorted save your pity cousin I have no use for it but this truly does sadness me that none of you know this information this tells me none of you have been to my fathers domain and I dont mean his empire I mean his true domain the underworld none of you know his story I snorted some relatives you are but no matter I will school you so listen and listen well. 

I took a swig before starting we all know after the fight with the titans the world was divided up Zeus got the sky Poseidon got the sea and my father Hades got the underworld well like all the gods he happily jumped into his domain to explore all of its possibilities he happily took the throne and ruled over the underworld but the underworld wasnt made for any living beings this includes the gods so slowly through the centuries the underworld started to change my father into something more calm and ruthless a king of the undead and the Emperor of shadows as time past and all you other gods made your creations and seen them thrive my father was left to the dark and shadow there was no light no joy there was nothing but death and shadow in the underworld there was no life only dead as such father could only craft none living things like castle and undead father mastered and improved his abilities wall you all forgot about him he was ruling his domain and growing his power to one day overthrow his brothers and the rest of you who cast him to the shadows and forgot about him but luckily for yall my stepmother Persephone came into the picture and a light was put I to my father life and one he deserves after that he forgot about overthrowing Olympus he forgot and forgave all for one woman who in a single interaction erased centuries of resentment and hate like that and I snapped my finger when I did all the shadows stopped dancing and disappeared but and I closed my eyes and shook my head but Persephone was taken from my father when that happen my father was consumed by chaos the world shook and want dark for 5 days till Persephone returned to his side but even she had a hard time reaching my father he was almost completely consumed by his domain and all the emotions and memories he had from the dead passing through his domain ever sense that day all of Hades children has been marked by death as such we are a portal ro the other side and we experience that souls last moments and we can never forget it but and I shrugged it ant all bad the more souls we absorb the stronger we get it is a double edge sword a blessing and a course and it has consumed many of my siblings but everything is doubled for me sense I have two goldy parents who are both gods of death so tell my cousin and a huge predatory grin spread across my face as I looked at Apollo who shuttered under my gaze am I the monster for not showing any mercy to my enemies and consuming them or are you gods the monsters heartlessly sacrificing not just your children but your followers as well and forgetting them in the end the moment I said that the ground shook from thunder and the sky crackled angrily with lightning but I just sat there calmy and ate my breakfast but the ground didn't stop shaking even after a few minutes passed and I was getting tired of hearing an immortal being and an emperor at that through such a hissy fit I slammed my hands onto the table and bellowed to the sky will you shut up already it is honestly embarrassing that your acting this much like a child your a bloody god and emperor for fuck sakes either start to act like one or get the fuck off the throne the thunder and lightning stopped and the sky held its breath like it to was shocked at my words but I didn't care I nodded with satisfaction and as I sat back down I mumbled yea that's what I thought I took a moment to steady my emotions and I ate more of the food that was in front of me as I did Layla looked to Artemis who had a stunned grinning face unlike Her brothers Apollo looked horrified and was looking around like he was expecting something to jump out at him or something wall Hermas had a calm neutral expression it was very hard to tell what the god of messengers was thinking but I cot the faintest smirk underneath all that composure but back on topic I listened to my wife as she spoke so big sister Artemis what brings ya to are humble home Artemis chugged what ever liquid was in her mug before slamming it onto the table this is when her whole demeanor into something more prim and proper like as she dabbed at her lips with a rag this action was almost lady like almost cuz ones she was done she put away her rag and grinned at Layla with a sisterly smile but there was some on hidden lust in her eyes but I might have been imagining things or maybe not who's to really say haha but I do wonder what this famous virgin war goddess tastes like but I reeled in these thoughts and listened to her its good to see your in such good health little sister and I must say your is practically glowing I do wonder what your secret is perhaps you can share it to me in private later and the goddess winked at her Layla chuckled and shrugged it is no big secret big sister it is actually something very simple I am here to ask for your kingdoms help in procuring equipment and war supplies for my dukedom and to also ask you of a favor Layla raised an eyebrow her smile fading into an expression more serious what would you ask of us sister we have only just started building are kingdom so we might not be able to help much Artemis chuckled and sipped from her mug O I know you can help me sister and what I am going to ask is quite a simple request I wish for you to take in all of my people if my dukedom falls and if that happens I wish for your aid to evacuate my people so what do you say little sisters and Azmo will you aid me and my people if are home is destroyed as she spoke she looked over Layla, Harriet and I with a calm but determined expression but when she finished Apollo spat out what ever he was drinking from his mug and he want into a coughing fit but he was able to splutter out what cough cough did you say sister cough cough y haven't you come to the consul if you needed help cough cough Hermes looked at Artemis with a cold neutral expression he studded her for a few moments but side she already has brother along with several of the lesser gods but are emperor and empress turned them all away I should know I was the one who delivered the messages between everyone as such I know how badly are people are suffering wall are emperor and empress does nothing this is y I am here and he took a calm drink from his smoking tea cup before leveling a cold calculating expression at me king Azmo I am here not only as the messenger for all the lesser gods but their ambassador I am here to negotiate supplies for all of them and if needed aid and shelter I nodded I understand this empires situation cousin and my kingdoms gates will always be open to those who need shelter and supplies as long as they mean my people no harm but yall must understand my armies and I won't be able to provide much aid on the battlefield Hermes raised a eyebrow asking and y is that Little cousin I smiled and shrugged it is time my father and I meet don't you think I plan on riding out in 3 days time to aid not only my father but my master kingdoms and to get some revenge for one of my man and his people I looked over to Ark when I said that Ark froze hearing that his head shut up from his plate and he looked at my grinning face but brother my ravange is but I held up a hand silensing his he closed his mouth and waited for me to explain my self I chuckled and lowered my hand saying I know your worries brother but this isn't just cuz of your revenge the land you once ruled over is strategically perfect to send supplies and if needed aid to all the other kingdoms who will be are allies soon I wish for you to be the 3 dukedom in my kingdom and to take control of this ones more the land you once had is perfect for farm ground and live stock we will need all that food and more if we wash to go wage a long term war against the forces of chaos ones more we will need that food to supply the other kingdoms who ask for are help Art nodded as a determined expression spread across his face I dont let you dont brother I chuckled nodding I have every faith you will brother I then looked to Shosa who was gorging himself but the moment my eyes landed on him he shuddered and looked up at my smiling face prepare your rumblers Shosa we will be heading out in 3 days the moment he heard my orders a huge beastly grin spread across his face as he shot up and slammed a hand to his chest yelling yes sir I nodded and looked to Greckles and Solly, prepare your man as well you will be coming with us the two generals shot up and slammed a hand to their chest like Shosa and yelled yes sir my eyes then fell on Orange and Stone saying half of your man will be coming with us wall the other half will be going with Artemis here to provide aid followed by the Ork heavy cavalry my eyes fell on Moon who was Layla little brother but he had changed from the brute who threatened to Kill Eragon when he was just forming in Harriett yes I found out about that and I was pissed but more then that Layla found out about that and her rage couldn't even compare to mine she had punished her two sibling Moon and Mick quiet harshly in there training she pushed them harder then anyone hell the shit they want through was peer torture under the name of training but in that hell both siblings had grown not only as warriors but people also the once mindless brute that was Moon had turned into a straight-backed general with a good mind for warfare wall his second in command was Shine his twin brother and the book smart one but you couldn't tell the two apart except shine where small half broke square glasses that sat on his nose that was it hell both even dressed in identical suits of armor I looked at these two brother in laws my smile fading into a cold expression Moon and Shine I am interesting you to protect our people and to help the huntress if your able but and a snarl want across my face if I hear you and your man can't control your selfs and force your selfs onto any huntresses you wont have Layla to deal with after but me I am giving you two this one chance to prove yourselves and to make up for your past actions even after both of my wives tried to convince me otherwise do not fail me understand both orks shot up and slammed a hand to their chests and bowed both yelling yes sir and thank you for this chance I know we ant worthy enough to call you brother yet but we hope in the future we can I nodded waving my hands that is all yall are dismissed go and prepare my generals nodded bowed and left the room I finished drinking out of my mug before slamming it onto the table standing up looking to the three gods saying come let us talk business in a better place with better booze they all nodded and stood up I offered my arms to my two wives they happily locked arms with me before we walked out to my study.
