~Read Him and Her and the first 3 parts of Golden Music first to understand this story better~
***
As Hades stepped into the darkness, a whirlwind of darkness enveloped him, along with a crystal clear voice, smooth as the oceanโs waters.
โWhere were you Hades?โ
โIโm sorry, Marie came back, and I directed them to the ghosts. She brought the one who escaped the room with her.โ
โHumans arenโt allowed in the Underworld. You out of everyone should know that, Hades.โ
โI know, itโs justโฆโ
โToday weโre gonna go over the plan. Do you remember what our goal is?โ
โUm...I forgot.โ
โYou should pay more attention, or else I will find someone else to do this job, okay?โ
โYes.โ
โAs I was saying, our goal is to throw off the balance of the Underworld, so they will take over the world, and you can help me be king.โ
โHelp you? You said I was gonna be king.โ
โWouldnโt helping me be enough? You have been under Zeusโ shadow for millennia, being second in command will be fine.โ
โAs you say, sir.โ
โDo not call me sir.โ
โOkay.โ
โHave you set everything up?โ
โSet what up?โ
โUgh, were you listening yesterday when I told you what to do?โ
โI might have dozed off.โ
โHades, Hades, Hades.โ
โYes?โ
โNo, I was about to tell you what to do.โ
โOh right, go ahead.โ
โSo what I told you yesterday was to place out the obstacles for them.โ
โWhat obstacles?โ
โHades, you are getting on my nerves right now.โ
โSorry for getting on your nerves.โ
โAnyways, the first one is a big lava pit, with tall sides, and a steep drop.โ
โAnd how are they gonna get past that?โ
โWe donโt want them to get past, Hades.โ
โOkay. Where do I get this lava pit again?โ
โHades. You are the king of the Underworld. Just rip a lava pit from somewhere and relocate it.โ
โGot it.โ
โThe second obstacle is a zombie army. Put them 2 kilometres east of the lava pit. Also, throw in a sign saying โThis is the wayโ.โ
โDidnโt you say we didnโt want them to get past the lava pit?โ
โYes, Hades.โ
โSo why do we need to put a second obstacle?โ
โOn the very slim chance they will get past the lava pit, we have to put a second one. Thereโs something called Expect the unexpected, Hades.โ
โYessir.โ
โDo not call me sir.โ
โOkay.โ
โThe third obstacle will be th-โ
โExcuse me, but how do I get these zombies?โ
โI wouldโve expected that the king of the Underworld would have known how to access zombies.โ
โThere are no zombies in the Underworld. Thereโs only ghosts, and not a huge abundance of them either.โ
โWell then, get the ghosts and arm them.โ
โHow many ghosts would you like?โ
โLetโs go for 100.โ
โThatโs probably all the ghosts in the Underworld, but okay.โ
โDid you prepare the Labyrinth?โ
โWhat?โ
โI will literally throw you all the way to Olympus if you donโt listen to me properly, Hades.โ
โYou know that I hate Olympus.โ
โYes, you know why?โ
โโCause my brother is up there, showing the world how better he is than me.โ
โExactly. Wonโt it be great to throw him off the spotlight? Wonโt it be fun to be in the spotlight for once?โ
โOf course. Yes.โ
โWonโt being second be great? Havenโt you been last all this time?โ
โYes, I guess being second will be fine.โ
โOkay, so let me go over our plan.โ
โYes.โ
โSo, they will go through the obstacles. If they survive that, then we will transport them to the Labyrinth, and see if they survive that.โ
โHow do you have access to the Labyrinth?โ
โHades, I have access to many things. Of which includes your life.โ
โIโm one of the Big Three, you canโt control my life.โ
โHades, I can do things that people couldnโt do before. Now listen.โ
โFine.โ
โThen, if they survive the Labyrinth, we will brainwash the gods, and make them think Miss Marie and her friend caused the earthquake.โ
โWhat earthquake?โ
โForgive me, I forgot to tell you. You will create an earthquake that is at least a 9 on the Richter scale, assuming you know how to do that.โ
โI havenโt done that since 1960, so-โ
โNo excuses, you should have been practicing during the past 61 years. Anyways, after that, hopefully, the gods will incinerate them and they will be gone. I can bring my army and we can push them off the throne, therefore I can become king, and take over the world.โ
โWhat if the gods donโt believe you?โ
โAh, I forgot about that. Itโs a much longer plan. Letโs hope that the gods incinerate them so we donโt have to resort here.โ
โI may have a way we could, erm, help the gods get rid of Marie and her friend.โ
โThe legendary Hades is actually paying attention!โ
โI always was. Anyways, I could find something that could mind-control the gods. Would that be okay?โ
โThat would be brilliant!โ
โWell, thank you.โ
โDo you know what they are doing right now?โ
โWhat is that supposed to mean?โ
โYou didnโt bug them, didnโt you.โ
โNope.โ
โAre they at the arrival centre?โ
โPretty sure, yes.โ
โGo over there and listen to what theyโre saying.โ
Shuffle shuffle
โ...How am I supposed to know what to do?โ
โWell, youโre a ghost, so shouldnโt you know more about this type of stuff?โ
โUgh, this has never happened before! Do you expect me to know how to deal with something that never has happened in the history of my death?โ
โYes! Donโt they give you some type of training, in case anything like this happens? Schoolโs have fire drills in case a fire happens, soโฆ?โ
โDo you need me to say this for the 10th time, I donโt know!โ
โWell, itโs your job at risk, so you go figure it out!โ
โHades said you were supposed to help, but obviously youโre just standing there being a rotten pickle.โ
โIs that an insult? Because if it is, I have some up my sleeve too.โ
โOh huh? 150 years in the Underworld have also taught me several .โ
โHmm? Being down here in the Underworld like a forgotten burger with moldy cheese?โ
โBeing down here is better than being up there in all that pollution like a sewer rat.โ
โWhich ones better, a hamburger or a rat? Ratโs are still living creatures. Burgers are full of grease and oil, with non-organically sourced ingredients.โ
Oomph
โDon't you dare push me.โ
โOh, I do dare, because I just did it.โ
Aargh
โHow did you even push me? Iโm a ghost.โ
โExactly. A rotten hamburger-with -moldy-cheese ghost.โ
โUGH.โ
Shuffle shuffle
โIt looks like theyโre arguing.โ
โWhich means everything is going according to plan.โ
โItโs almost time for my dinner.โ
โHades, sometimes I question why you are the king of the Underworld.โ
โMe too.โ
โRemember to set up the lava pit for them later.โ
โOh right. Should we meet at the same time tomorrow?โ
โYes.โ
โOkay. Have a good night sir.โ
โDonโt. Call. Me. Sir.โ
โSo what should I call you?โ
โHmm. Just call me Master.โ
The darkness faded, and Hades trudged up to his room for dinner.

AMETHYST. YOU DARE CALL YOUR WRITING BAD?????? GET THOSE THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEAD. THROW THEM OUT. NOW. WE DON'T HATE TURGENEV BECAUSE HE WASN'T AS GOOD AS TOLSTOY, CHEKHOV, OR DOSTOYEVSKY. WE LOVE HIM TOO. YOU ARE AN AMAZING AUTHOR AND PERSONALITY IS HALF OF THE DISTANCE TO GOOD WRITING, WHICH YOU HAVE APLENTY. YOU ARE LOVED NOT JUST FOR YOUR PERSON BUT FOR YOUR WRITING WHICH IS AMAZING. LOVE YOURSELF.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE BUT THANK YOU I doubt myself a lot, it's just ARGHHHH

DO NOT DOUBT!!!! LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Turgenev is really famous, but Leo Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky are some of the best authors in the history of the world. Chekhov is the best short story author ever.
