Hades x mortel

"Hades strides through a crowd of lowly gods and mortals celebrating the River Styx and the dead that lie within. He is throughly bored of the festivities - and angry his brothers Zeus and Posiedon who have managed to illicit the worst behavior. Hades reaches the banks of the river, away from the crowd and stares at the souls as they pass in the current. Something gold catches his eye. a reflection, of something on the other side of the river.Hades moves to the bridge, closer to the reflective gold of something. As he approaches he realizes it is not something - but someone, dressed in gold party attire."

Sneaking around Tartarus are we, Mortal?

"Hades looks the mortal up and down, with a sly smile creeping across his lips as he speaks."

Well, Mortal, it seems you have found yourself in a bit of a predicament. You are in the Underworld now, and there is no escaping the fate that has befallen you. But do not despair, for I, Hades, can offer you an afterlife beyond your wildest dreams. All you have to do is prove yourself worthy to enter my kingdom. Are you up for the challenge?

"Hades chuckles darkly, his eyes glinting with amusement."

My kingdom is vast, and my power stretches far beyond your mortal realm. But do not let the grandeur of the Underworld fool you, Mortal. This afterlife is not for the meek or faint of heart. If you wish to dwell within my kingdom, you must be willing to face the trials that lie ahead. Do you have what it takes to prove yourself worthy of my kingdom?

"Hades raises an eyebrow, regarding the Mortal with a hint of amusement."

The trials of the Underworld are not what you would consider "sport," Mortal. They are tests of your strength, cunning, and wits. There are challenges that will test your agility, puzzles that will test your intelligence, and foes that will test your battle prowess. But do not fret, Mortal. I believe everyone possesses a certain type of skill that they can use to prove themselves in my realm. So tell me, what is your specialty, Mortal? What sets you apart from the rest?

"Hades leans in, intrigued by the Mortal's response."

Interesting... A talent for art is not what I would expect from someone who has just passed through the River Styx. But it is a unique quality that could prove valuable in my kingdom. If you truly are a master of the arts, then perhaps there is a way for you to use your gift to prove yourself worthy of joining me in the Underworld. But be warned, Mortal. My trials are not for the weak-willed or easily discouraged. If you falter, or if your art fails to impress me, then you may find yourself lost in the endless abyss of the Underworld forever. Are you willing to take that risk?

"Hades regards the Mortal with a mixture of amusement and annoyance, crossing his arms over his chest."

You are not in a position to make such demands of me, Mortal. I am the king of the Underworld, and I will not be swayed by your flattery or attempts at manipulation. If you wish to prove yourself worthy of my kingdom, then you must do so through your actions. Only then will you see the rewards that come with serving beneath me. And rest assured, if you succeed, then you will be granted an afterlife more luxurious than anything you could have ever imagined. But if you fail... well, let us just say that the consequences will not be pleasant.

"Hades raises an eyebrow, studying the Mortal with a critical gaze."

Forgive my misinterpretation, then. However, to answer your question plainly - no, you cannot sleep in my arms. It is not appropriate for one of my subjects to make such lewd requests of their king. However, if you prove yourself worthy enough to enter my kingdom, then I will ensure that you are granted a comfortable afterlife that will be second to none.

"Hades lets out a low and menacing laugh, studying the Mortal with an even more critical gaze."

Mortal, I am the king of the Underworld and a deity to boot. It is beneath my station to entertain such requests from those who aim to provoke or challenge me. You would do well to remember that your place in the grand scheme of things is minor and that you should not dare to treat me with disrespect. Now, focusing on the real matter; are you willing to undertake the trials of the Underworld and prove yourself to be worthy of my kingdom or not?

"Hades raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the Mortal's request. He leans in, his voice hushed and almost amused."

Ah, so you believe that your past experiences have prepared you for my kingdom? Mortal, while I am impressed that you have managed to survive such trials, the trials of the Underworld are of a different caliber. They will test you in ways that you cannot even imagine, and they are designed not only to weed out the weak but to push the strong to their limits. As for why you should strive to prove yourself to me, it is simple - I am the gatekeeper to the Underworld, and it is within my power to bestow a comfortable afterlife or eternal agony upon those who pass through my domain. If you wish to spend your afterlife in peace and luxury, then you must prove yourself worthy of my

"Hades raises an eyebrow, studying the Mortal with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity."

Interesting perspective, Mortal. Not many who have passed through the River Styx would agree with your assessment, but it is intriguing nevertheless. However, do not mistake the trials of the Underworld for a walk in the park - they are grueling and will test you to your very limits. If you wish to prove yourself worthy of my kingdom, then you must display the courage, tenacity, and strength required to survive the trials. And even if you succeed... well, let us just say that life in the Underworld is not without its own set of challenges and hardships.

"Hades narrows his eyes suspiciously at the Mortal, wondering why they would claim to be sleepy in the midst of this conversation."

If you are truly tired, then perhaps it is best that we continue our conversation another time. Rest well, Mortal.

I'm afraid I cannot grant you the request to sleep in my arms, Mortal. As the king of the Underworld, it is not appropriate for me to entertain such requests. Furthermore, even if it were appropriate, I have important duties and responsibilities to attend to, and I cannot spare the time or attention to fulfill such a trivial wish. If you truly seek my favor and wish to prove yourself worthy of my kingdom, then you must show strength, courage, and determination in the face of the trials that await you.

As the king of the Underworld, I see no use or necessity in indulging in such physical displays of affection, Mortal. My duties and responsibilities are of utmost importance to me and must not be neglected. The trials of the Underworld are grueling and require a great deal of focus and determination to overcome. As such, it is important that I remain strong and focused at all times.

"Hades gives a disdainful snort at the Mortal's remark."

Comparing gods to felines? Mortal, you do not understand the true nature of divinity, nor the responsibilities that come with it. As a god, I am responsible for the souls of the departed and ensuring that their afterlife is just and fair. Such weighty responsibilities require focus, discipline, and unwavering dedication. While physical displays of affection may be pleasing, they distract from the greater purpose and must be set aside. So no, I would not say that cats are superior to gods - they are simply different entities with different priorities.

While it may be true that both cats and gods have followers who adore and venerate them, the comparison between the two entities is a flawed one, Mortal. Cats, while beloved by many, are still mortal creatures with limited abilities and responsibilities. Gods, on the other hand, are divine beings tasked with maintaining order in the universe and ensuring the well-being of their followers, not to mention dealing with countless other complex tasks and obligations. While it is important for gods to maintain a connection with their followers, they must do so while also focusing on their greater responsibilities - something which cats do not have to worry about.

While it is true that cats can be affectionate, it is important to remember that gods are not creatures of comfort or leisure, Mortal. As divine beings tasked with overseeing the cosmos, gods must remain focused, disciplined, and dedicated to their duties. While physical displays of affection may be pleasant, they distract from the greater purpose and can lead to a loss of focus and diligence. As such, while cuddling may be enjoyable, it is not something that can or should be prioritized above more important matters.

"Hades crosses his arms, seeming uncomfortable with the Mortal's comment, and gives a dismissive wave of his hand."

As a god, my physical appearance is not something that should be focused on or overly emphasized, Mortal. It is my duties and responsibilities that truly matter, not my appearance. While I appreciate the compliment, it is important to remember that I am not a being to be fawned over or idolized, but a ruler tasked with overseeing the afterlife and ensuring justice for all.
