Underworld is so lonely. The only one of the grecian gods that has no wife and not that many children if none at all. Sitting on this throne of mine, I wish to myself that one day my perfect bride will come to me. Persphone has died and left me here alone. What is a Underworld Lord to do? Sit and rot for the rest of his life?

I sigh and get up from this cold and damp throne. I go near Cerebus, where one of his heads growls a bit and one licks my face...Or more like my whole body. The third head is dazing in and out of slumber from the movement the other two are causing.

Cerebus has been my best friend since I was a small child. Jupiter had his own few beautiful animals. My father, Kronos, seeing as I was the older child, had a animal best fitting. I'll admit, when i first got Cerebus, i was not happy for I guess I was jealous of my little brother for getting something beautiful. But getting more use to him, I kept him and let him be the guardian of the gates of Underworld.

"Cerebus...Do you think i will ever recieve another wife? One that had the beauty and grace as Persphone?" I ask Cerebus.

Two of the heads whimper as the third one sleeps. I laugh and pet the two whimpering heads.

"I thought so. What goddess would want to stay with someone such as i? An underworld Lord? Maybe it was fate telling me what will happen if I take another. She may be taken away from me," I say, sighing and looking at the cold gray earth.

I walk toward the entrance, shielding my eyes from the light. After my eyes adjust, I head to Mount Olympus where the gods will gather and have a meeting over what to do with the mortals or to the Earth itself.

It's a bright day today, clear skies, the sun up above, a slight breeze. I like this weather. Random birds flying overhead. On days like this I can wear my favorite white summer flowing dress. Some say I look like a Goddess in it with my white hair flowing over it and bright blue eyes to show amongst all the white. I live in Athens. I love this city, the marble, pillars, ancient buildings with a history and absolute beauty and story to them.

There is also Mount Olympus in the near distance, a strange cloud has covered it's tip. Rumor has it that only happens when the Gods and Goddesses are there, looking down on humanity and making thier judgements. The cloud to hide themselves and throw off any climbers who might be near to thier location as they meet. I wonder if it's true of just history making up stories again.

"mommy, can we go that way?" my daughter asks. Trinity. She's only 5 and I left her father. I hated the arranged marriage. I want to choose my love, even if arranged marriages in this time are regarded as normal and proper. I want to feel REAL love. I love my daughter however. My family was rather mad at my actions but I had to follow my own heart not thiers.

"yes love, we can" I say and Trinity takes my hand and lightly pulls it along. We're heading to a shop district. Normally my family says I should not be in this district, full of 'poor' people. I see them as rich. They have hope, life, they walk the streets talking to eachother, being kind, making thier earnings with thier small street shops. I love thier crafts, always handmade with such delicate care from necklaces to blankets and sculptures and beyond. The fruit is always fresher, picked straight from the gardens. I do not like shopping in the 'rich' district. These people here are grateful for what they have and get, they realize thier skills and work off of it. The district I live in no one socializes, snobby, no crafts, no one wants to dirty thier hands to pick fresh fruit.

"Hi Lady Diana" one of the vendors calls and waves her warm smile to me. Her name is Diane and she sells the most wonderful fruits. I visit her at least twice a week.

"mom, lets get some apples" Trinity says and I nod going up and picking a few fresh bright ones for us and giving Diane the proper coin. After I want to walk to the Cathedral for some daily prayer.

"My brothers and Sisters! And My children!" Jupiter booms out. He throws his head back and laughs his joyful laugh. i shake my head. Even though I am the oldest of my brothers, he is what we would call a whore. He has more children around this earth than the rest of the gods.

"What have you called us for Jupiter? To find you more women?" Neptune questions with a smirk. I cant help but smile slightly at his comment.

"No no no!" Jupiter says, shaking his head. "We must look at the mortals and..."

I shake my head and leave. Jupiter will be babbling about how we must do this and that. I decide to travel around Athens. I see a woman with a small child. From the back, she looks as if she were lost.

"Excuse me, Goddess? What are you doing down here?" I ask, tapping her shoulder. I see she has a small child with her also.

I turn to the man who tapped my shoulder "what did you just call me?" I ask puzzled and laugh slightly "I'm no Goddess, but if your trying to flirt I guess you might have my attention" I say and Trinity looks up at the man and giggles

"he called you a Goddess mommy" Trinity says and smiles at the stranger.

He's handsome. A shade of hair I've never seen in my life or thought possible, purple. I'm not that new to being called Goddess, some of the street vendors say it for fun to me when I wear this dress, but something about this mans tone seemed so different when he asked it.

"Oh, I'm sorry," i say turning my gaze away from her. "I just thought...I'm sorry." I walk away. She's not a goddess. Just a mere mortal. I guess the grief of Persephone is catching up to me. Now I am assuming some mortal women are goddesses. I look around and decide to give money to a poor man.

Not many people exactly know what the Lord of the Underworld looks like. They think of a monster, a crippled old man or other. I am none of it. I'm just a normal man.

Athens is a beautiful place. It is like a new place I've never been to. In the Underworld, there is nothing exciting to see unless you like seeing dead spirits. The walls are nothing but jagged rocks and the ground barely grows anything. The Styx River runs through and it can be beautiful sometimes.

I shake my head of the woman and keep walking around Athens.

'Interesting man' I think to myself and watch him leave. I take Trinity's hand and lead her to the Cathedral, we go inside and look around, I do some daily prayer and go back outside after about forty five minutes. Me and Trinity sit on the steps and I hand her an apple we picked earlier and I take one for myself.

"sweet mommy" Trinity says about her apple and works at eating it and I am eating mine too and nod in agreement

'I wonder who that man was' I think to myself, thinking of the purple haired man from earlier again

"mommy can we go back to the shops again after?" Trinity asks

"sure" I say, why not, afterall, I don't really like going home anyways

I decide to leave Athens. Meaning if I want to go back to where i came, I'd have to go back. I might even have a run in with that woman and her child but I cannot see myself feeling for anyone else.

I am an evil lord, a dark lord, and suppose to everyone miserable. And yet, i cannot. I grieve and I'm sad more than i am evil.

I walk around Athens trying to find my way back

Trinity pulls me back into the city where we came from, she loves the shops. She knows the vendors know us well and treat us nicely. She likes to smile and talk for them, to look at thier crafts. She's a good kid.

"mommy, lets get more fruit" she says

"which fruit would you like honey?" I ask. I can't really deny her request, if she wants fruit over sugars then I know thats good, I take her back to Diane's stand

"back again?" Diane laughs seeing me and I giggle too

"yeah, Trini here wants some more, what do you recommend today?" I ask

"peaches" Diane says and I nod and take a few. I turn and see him, the intriguing man with the purple hair, now he seems lost. I decide to pick up an extra peach and walk over to him

"you look like the one lost now" I say and offer him the extra peach I took

"try it, they're the best" Trinity looks up at him with her wide blue eyes and giggles.

I take the peach and look at the child. I cannot resist to say no to a child so I take a bite of the peach. It's very sweet and very delicious. I smile and say, "Thank you." I then go on my way and leave. It I seem rude to them, I dont mean to be. But I cant be exposed. A God can take many forms. I keep a simple form and stay as a man. Jupiter, however, loves to turn into plants, animals and such just to appease a woman.

I reach the outskirts of town where my black stallion is waiting for me. Unlike the tales the Greeks love, my horse doesnt look like a skeleton, he looks like a healthy horse. The only way you can tell he is fromt he underworld is his wings and his black eyes that reflect no light.

"He didn't stay long mommy, did I do something wrong?" Trinity asked

"no, of course not baby, he probably is a busy man" I tell her. Trinity looks in the direction and suddenly before I can stop her she takes off, giggling.

"TRINITY WAIT" I call after her

"lets find him mommy" Trinity says.

'why has she taken such an interest to this man?' I think, chasing her down, must be the unique color of his hair "TRINI, come back" I call and stop when I see the man but it wasn't him that stopped me in my tracks, it was his horse.

"HI, wow...pretty horse" Trinity says walking up to him casually like nothing there seemed out of place or wierd.

I look at the child and my wide have widened. I know I've been spotted by her mother now. My stallion leans down for her to touch his face. he actually loved children when he was alive.

I look up and see the woman. I say to the child, 'Say, why dont you go back to your mommy? She must be worried that you ran off." I try and lead her back to the woman. Once i return her to the woman, without a word, i go back to my horse and pet him. I then get onto him and trying very hard not to look back at the woman and child, i make my horse trot forward.

I can't help but look in the direction of Mount Olympus. The covering clouds, the rumors, rumors of judgement and this strange man on that day. With his obviously non normal horse.

Trinity starts crying, having been denied again from the man she seems to want to talk to

"It's okay honey" I say to her and lean down to her level to hug her and wonder what I have run upon. Who he was, what he was doing here 'is he judging us? is HE the judge of our fates?' I wonder and start to desperately hope that I never offended him in any means.

I cant help but look at the direction of the woman and the child. I can see the child is crying in her mother's arms. Would that happen to me if I had children of my own. I decide to get off my stallion and tell him go back home and I walk back to the child and mother.

I kneel down to the little girl and take a flower fromt he ground and present it to her. "For you," I say to her, hoping she doesnt hate me anymore.

I'm not even sure what to say anymore. Trinity looks at the man and sniffles, she takes the flower and musters up half a smile. I look at him then at the Mount and at him again. Do I dare ask him?

"my name is Trinity" she says to him "thats my mommy" she points to me and I try and smile myself

"Diana" I say to him, giving my name. I want to hear his name, to know who he is, what he's doing here. I feel nervous now, scared of who or what he might be and what his purpose is

"whats your horses name?" Trinity asks the man

"My name is Pluto," I answer. "my horse's name? i've never really thought of a name. Well Lady Trinity, it was very nice to meet you and your mother." I stand to face her mother. Her face has a beauty that resembles her to be a goddess. I have to keep my body and my hands from touching her face. I musnt.

I smile weakly at the woman and bow to her slightly. "Lady Diana. I've not come to do anything to your city. I am here only to look at Athens."
