Lore Olympus | Revamped
Warning misogyny
■■■■■■■■
Flashing lights of many colors, beings of many species dancing together, drinks, beers, & toppling bodies. They were, unfortunately, at a party, but at least Hades's brothers didn't run off this time & kept him company. Zeus talked of his wife & planning his most frequent apology for impregnating a beast after making it human looking. His other brother Posidain couldn't stop mentioning how he recently avenged the poked-out eyeball of one of his many children.
Hades, the jealous & lonely bachelor, had nearly nothing to speak of because not only did he have no hobbies or life, but he was mesmerized & staring down a woman he'd never meant, or perhaps a better word is a young vixen.
Her hair was short & scattered; she wouldn't stop licking her cherry-flavored lipstick. Arms were flailing on her end, swaying & twirling with her wretched friend. She sported the biggest smile & baby plump cheeks, yet her hips looked ripped for childbearing. Her friend, the treacherous Artemis, constantly pulled down her dress to guard her naughty bits, the cream dress too tight to fit her tits, but the woman didn't seem to care about this. She kept moving as if there was no one else but a nobody like him.
Wild lady, do you know not the body you're in?
What may it do to men? Thought Hades in his fragile puny head.
He snapped out of his haze & told his brothers how prettier she was compared to vengeful Aphrodite, that was a little more than 4 to 5 feet in front of him, glaring at his comment. With his pale hair, he should've known what got her spirit brewing, but perhaps he didn't notice the hole her eyes bore through the middle of his forehead.
He asked his brothers who the feral woman was, but Posidain went off to bother Odysseus, so Zeus informed him that she was the goddess of spring, the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Zeus went on about how she had a sheltered life & how shocked he was that Demeter let her come to the city with her being an overprotective prude.
Hades put on his glasses & embraced her with his eyes again.
Avoiding licking his neglected lips.
Well, no wonder her mother didn't invite me to her baby shower;
she has always wanted to keep lonely men lonely forever.
I guess she stopped guarding her against the inevitable. I mean, look at her.
Hades said with a laugh afterward.
A party hasn't felt so worthwhile to his bottom half runt.
■■■■■■■■
Drink after drink, she drank, confused, vision blurred, room spinning, eyes reluctantly closing. She was kidnapped & soothed into a drunken mess by none other than Eros & Aphrodite, brought to the home of the compulsive basher of beauty.
Persephone awoken in a dim storage room by her hair which vastly lengthened overnight; it tickled her nose & ears, flowed into boxes & wrapped around a bulb that stopped working.
She figured she had a nightmare, but then she looked around at the icy walls & noticed how they looked nothing like Artemis, beer, or the flashing lights at the ball.
w-WHERE am I?!
She gasped at how loud she was, but clearly,
even Abrahamic gods had already awoken with her snoring.
What if the villain is here?!
The kidnapper who never thought to tape me shut, such amateurs!!
She got up from the floor, cracked her neck & back, wiped her dress of dirt & searched the house for a butcher knife, ignoring the brilliant scenery around her; the chandeliers, dark spiral stairs, & huge windows giving way to the soulless city below. She was focused on her goal, forgetting her heels & all.
During this, Hades had been quaking, watching her stomp around from his surveillance cameras. The daughter of Demeter was in his home, the vixen that brought blood to his dreary heart…& pen*s. Her mother would kill him, but he knew he'd kill her too if he acquainted & tamed her artless duplicate.
■■■■■■■■
She was snatched away by Eros before he had the chance to speak to her, but he would have never built the courage to do so anyhow, so he slumped & discouraged, brow furrowed. Hades watched a young clod steal prey he's too outdated to consensually sway & went home early, breaking down in his car on the way.
Damned those boorish jocks, never leaving enough,
not even scraps for perpetually limp ones!!
He drove home in a daze of woe & noticed not Persephone in the back of his car, Persephone, who couldn't hear or smack the sh*t back into him. Eventually, he turned, found her, & did the bare minimum of not assaulting the dear girl & carried her bridal style into his home with weeds & thorns crowding her head, symbols of her distress. He gave her some water to sober up, washed off the dirt & grass then laid her on a spare bed.
She sniffed & unconsciously grabbed at him with her rough hands, but he smacked them; afraid of potential warmth, he forgot to take off her pumps & how spying on her in rest was probably morally corrupt. Then again, if not for the cameras, he would've never learned that, apparently, the girl sleepwalks.
She got up, though, still in slumber, from the bed he laid her, eyes wide open & walked around without confidence, passed windows, chandeliers, & dark spiral stairs until she reached the near abandoned storage room & birthed a ragged garden with her hair. Then awoke there & began her raged-induced search for a sharp weapon.
He soaked in every bit of her play;
imagine if she knew he was enjoying it;
would she like that? He thought.
I wanted to be the one to ravish this girl, but now I wonder if such is possible.
Alone, mind frail, would others favor me courting a rapid girl,
or would they call me a boy if I succumb to her?
IN SHORT:
Persephone gets that knife eventually. He tries calming her down when he realizes her intent to hurt someone, but then Hades confesses how he may have caused the kidnapping & has been spying on her sleeping. She freaks out again & stabs the man. Hades thinks it's hot & can't die since he's a god & she convinces/threatens him to make her the Queen of the Underworld. The end :|

I don't plan on rewriting the whole thing. I'm probably going to end it here & wrote for fun; this was a short rewrite of Rachel Smythe's comic "Lore Olympus," a modern retelling of the Taking of Persephone.
I've been reading Lore Olympus since middle school & though I see many flaws & have many criticisms, I couldn't bare not reading the ending. I recommend you try it out :>
