HADES PATH: EPISODE 08
Hades' rich voice echoes just around the corner. Following it, I find the kitchen.
A large screen is projected onto the wall.
Some kind of conference call; right now Hades is on hold.
He's leaning against the countertop, a green smoothie in one hand and his shirt in the other, using it to wipe the sweat from his brow.
I nearly trip over my own two feet at the sight.
Instead, I count to ten and then clear my throat to make my presence known.
He turns around just as the caller on screen reappears, and they both say my name at the same time.
Hades: "[PC name], good morning!"
Cyprin: "[PC name]??? What are you doing there?"
Player Character: "Uh, good morning. Bosses."
Much to my disappointment, Hades pulls his t-shirt back on.
Hades: "Alex, [PC name] is staying as my guest for a while longer. After what happened, I feel a personal obligation to keep her safe."
Cyprin: "Well. That's very kind of you."
PC: "Uh, should I be going now? I didn't mean to interrupt an important meeting."
Hades: "No no, stay. This concerns you, too. Alex was just telling me what's needed for our counter attack."
Cyprin: "We're trying to gather up whatever demigods and godly monsters stayed on earth during the summit."
Hades: "Some of my contacts in the Underworld are already digging into Tartarus records. We're going to strike back. Hard."
A sudden dangerous gleam lights up in Cyprin's eyes.
Cyprin: "They're going to learn, very soon, the worst dangers our mortal world can administer."
Hades seems just as fired up, standing up straighter with a humorless grin.
For the rest of the day, we're preoccupied with locating and informing every available ally of the situation in Olympus.
