Blood, Fear & Hermes
|30 minuets ago| I was on my way to the entrance of the underworld from Olympus. Playing tricks on everyone I can and delivering messages like I always do! Normal work is BORING! I like to make it fun. Fun for me that is. What i make fun is missrable for everybody else. I gave Father his mail first. I was in a rush so i threw it at him. He threw his master bolt at me. Meh, it could have been worse. Anyways, now i am pined to a tree by my father’s master bolt, lovely. |Current time| Hermes grabs the bolt and pulls it off of him. He falls to the ground hitting his head. ’Ow!! Fuck! Ok, that’s worse! At least I’m closer to the underworld entrance now....’Hermes keeps walking through the forest as everything gets darker and darker around him. The only light currently there is illuminating from his wings and the luminant plum feather on his satchel. Hermes sighs, ’I can’t wait to go home after this.....getting my father’s master bolt thrown at me has my body beat and tired!’ At least everything today has gone smoothly with no surprises- Hermes feels a splash of something wet on his clothing. He looks down and see’s something he would never expect to see in front of the underworlds entrance. Hades dead, lifeless body. ’H...holly molly......’Hermes starts walking backwards. He drops his satchel and runs back to Olympus. He could fly but it does not matter at the moment, all that matters is that he gets away from the dead body of his uncle. As hermes runs back into Olympus he runs into Apollo. Litterly. He crashes into him. The two falling to the ground. ’A...a....Apollo!! I...i...-’ Apollo looks at him in shock. He see’s the blood on him and looks back at hermes and stands up. ’H...Hermes?.....What happened.....why do you have blood all over you? You have no wounds-’ Apollo stops and thinks and takes a step back. ’wait.....thats not your blood....is it?’ Hermes gets up quickly and try’s to explain.’ you must listen to me Apollo! I just found our uncles dead body in front of his own domain! I stepped on it and that’s why i have his blood on me!’ Hermes explains frantically. Apollo’s breath is Shakey and he runs off. ’FATHER! FATHER!’ apollo is running to Zeus’s temple. He HAS to tell him. I mean, hermes has hades blood all over him so of course Apollo is not going to believe hermes and think that HE is the one that killed Hades. Hermes runs after apollo. ’Apollo! Wait! You must listen to me when i say i didn’t do it!’ Hermes try’s to explain but apollo wont listen to him. Apollo keeps running then bursts into Zeus’s temple, breathing heavily from running. Hermes stumbles back and runs away once more as apollo tells zeus what has happened. ’Father! I ran into hermes! He has uncle Hades blood all over him! He said that he had just stumbled open our uncles dead body but i don’t believe him! The evidence is all over him! Littorly! He is covered with blood, father! See!?’ Apollo turns around to point at hermes but he is no longer there. ’i.......hm....he was there a moment ago-’ Suddenly, zeus yells in a booming voice. ’HERMES!! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO YOUR UNCLE AND MY OLDER BROTHER!!?’ Zeus then throws his master bolt and it catches Hermes by his cloak and pins him to another tree. Hermes is in tears, his breathing ragged and sharp as he trys to explane once more. ’Father! You must believe me when i say i didn’t do it!! I didn’t kill Hades! I was on my way to deliver his mail and stumbled onto his dead body! Father! Please!-’ Zeus scoffs and stands up. Going over to hermes and looking down at him with a glare on his face. A glare that is as sharp as a lightning bolt. ’The blood on you says otherwise Hermes! The evidence is on you! It’s as clear as the sky when I’m in a good mood!’ thunder crackles in the background. The clear sky now turning dark and stormy. Hermes is shaking in fear, tears streaming down his face. Why can’t Father just listen to me for once in his immortal life!? I didn’t do it! He won’t listen to my explanation. I hope my not deserved punishment is not execution like it would anyone else-The sky above, in it’s dark and stormy glory. Begins to rain as zeus growls at hermes. ’Hermes your punishment shall be banishment! You have one hou-’ before zeus could finish, Hera slams the temple doors open and walks outside. ’I propose that he be put on trial for the murder of Hades! And if Hermes is found guilty, he shall be executed!!’ Hera says, face full of rage. She is breathing like a angry boar. Hermes flinches back and stumbles out of Zeus’s grasp and the master bolt falls to the ground as Hermes regains his balance. Zeus looks to Hera with a eyebrow raised. ’Trial? Hm....i was just going to banish him since we don’t have a whole lot of evidence but if i hold some trials on this and gain more evidence than we could execute him. Hera....why did you bring this up anyways?’ Zeus says while folding his arms. Hera scoffs and looks at him. ’Well, we normally execute a god who murders a fellow god. It only seems right to continue doing that.’ Zeus thinks and nods his head. ’Fair point. Fine, we shall hold trials to see if Hermes is as innocent as he says he is.’ Zeus snaps his fingers. Summoning Lightning chains on Hermes and teleports him to a dungeon. Hermes sighs. ’Damn it.....Now I’m being put on trial?’ he sighs and looks at the ground. ’i doubt any of the other gods are going to be on my side in this and help prove my innocents-’ when he says that the dungeon door opens and someone walks in, hades wife, the goddess of spring and queen of the underworld, Persephone.
