WELCOME

[Ryu Watanabe]

Ryu stepped into the underworld and looked around. He had come to speak to his father but really didn't want to yell to get him out of his castle. He thought about what he was going to talk to him about but it was important. Since the attack on the camp Ryu wasn't able to get into the city because of who is father was but he was trying to figure out a way to get in. It was only a matter of time until he could. What he would do when he was there he didn't know but he had to try.

He started to walk as he thought about this. He looked around some not really noticing what was going on. He didn't notice the women standing there off to the side as he walked. He didn't notice the shades that looked at him as he passed and he didn't care what any of them thought.

He took a deep breath and looked at the River. It was just a matter of time before he too would be joining his mother in the Underworld. He was still a little mad when it came to his mother but right now was not that time to blame his father he had already got that off his chest many years ago.

(sorry tis short)

[Persephone]

Persephone was standing on what would seem to be the pourch of the large castle that she and Hades shared. He had built this world for her down here, and she loved it here. She loved being with her daughter and husband. She jsut wished there was more she could do to protect them and to stay with them. Hades' plan of 'kidnapping' her was going to be set in motion before the spring came. the thought bothered her as she wondered what would happen between him and the gods.

Then there was the fact of all these demi-gods dying. What on earth could they be doing and who was doing it? Was it really Hades' mother like he thought? Then Ant was here...hum. What could be said about that? Persephone was thinking on all these things as she looked out over the realm that she was queen over. She noticed a rather living creature and she began to approach it wondering who ahd killed a demi-god this time.

Her long bright blue skirts moved about her feet of the dress as she came towards him. She had no idea that this man before her was Hades' son. She looked to him and alid a hand on his shoulder as she asked, "How did you arrive here? You do not look as if dead."

[Ryu Watanabe]

Ryu had been lost in thought when he felt the hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at the women. He knew who she was and almost hated her but because she was his father's wife, Ryu would respect her. Ryu had come to the underworld really just to see his mother. He hadn't gotten up the courage to see her and each time he came here he couldn't do it.

"I'm not dead," he said looking at her confused. "Wait! You don't know who I am?" Of course she wouldn't. Hades probably never talked about any of his sons. Ryu heard everything of Persephone sounded bad for everyone that had slept with Hades. To bad his mother was already here. What was Persephone going to do? Make Ryu's life a living hell? Good luck.

(sorry its short again)

[Persephone]

Persphone heard the man say that he wans't dead and she took a step back and then let her hand fall off his shouler. She watched him and then spoke, "If you are not dead, then you are not supposed to be here. I will call for Charon and have him return you home." She went to take a step away to call Charon when the man asked her if she knew who he was. She turned back around and looked to him.

Persephone looked at him and tried to place where she might know this man from. If he was here and not dead, then he must be a god of demi-god. She knew him not to be a god, so she assumed he was a demi-god. She looked to him and held her head higher as she spoke, "I do not, but I do know that unless you want to die that you should not be in my husband's land. I will call Charon."

She went to take a step away, but something held her back. She looked to the young man before her and began to study him. She felt her eyes traveling him as if to see who's child he was. The more she looked the more that she realized who's son he was. She felt her hands drop the skirts she held in her hands. She then looked to him as she spoke, "You are Hades' son." She shook her head lightly and then spoke again, "What can I do to help you? Do you need me to get Hades, though I do not know where he is."

[Ryu Watanabe]

When she realized who he was he thought she would kill him her self but she just seemed to shrug it off. When she started to ask questions about what he needed. "I was just thinking. This is pretty much the safest place for me right now." He looked around. "I've been attacked by a few of the shades already." He looked at her. "No I don't need to talk to my father but if you want I do need someone to talk to." Ryu hated doing this but he needed someone and he hadn't seen his brothers since the camp was destroyed and having his mother gone didn't help much either.

Ryu watched her hoping she would say yes. If not he would keep walking thinking of everything he could do. Ryu may have been Hades' son but something about him was different. The look Hades got was there but his mother was there too. He looked a little more kinder than his father and of course him being Japanese through it off a bit too.
