The obsession of a loving mother

- Don't move, my darling. Mom takes care of everything.

Persephone was tied with chains made by Hephaistos. She could not get rid of them, especially since they neutralized her magic and other powers. The young goddess was totally immobilized and completely terrified.

- Pity, mom! Don't do that!

- Let's see, my heart! Don't contradict your mother! I'm doing what I have to do and you won't need to be chained after that. You will be freed from him. I do all this for you, for your well-being!

But Persephone did not want Demeter, his overprotective mother, to hurt Hades. Of course, she was not in love with the god of Hell but that did not mean that she wanted to hurt him!

- He's my husband!

- HE FORCED YOU!

- Because that's not what you're doing, maybe?!

The oldest looked at her daughter with surprise.

- I don't want to hurt you, I want to keep you safe! As a parent, I am in the best position to know how to do it!

- But he too! He has the same goal as you!

Demeter looked Persephone straight in the eyes, trying to detect the truth. Despite everything, she refused to let a man approach her baby.

- Your methods are the same! You chain me to get away from him while he kidnapped me and left me in his kingdom! He didn't do anything to me! On the contrary...

- He took you away from me! He deserves to die!

- MOM! LISTEN TO ME!

The Greek goddess looked at her daughter, really surprised by the anger more than perceptible in her voice. She finally decided to let her talk a little before returning to mother hen mode.

- A friend of his heard males say that they wanted to do to me what Zeus did to you. He knew you would kill everyone, which made him decide to take care of it himself. And if he married me it's only to scare everyone who would like to try again!

Demeter raised his hands in surrender.

- Very good! I won't kill him! But I'll make him swear on the Styx never to touch you! If he breaks his promise, he will die!
