"Hmph."

"Did you need something, my dearest brother?"

Hades has passed away due to an uprising in the Underworld.

”_______ has passed away.” 

Name someone to see my character’s reaction.

Bonus/Optional: Type how they died. [ Murdered, Protecting, etc. ] 

The news of an uprising had been reaching the ears of the Olympians for three days. The souls of the Underworld and Tartarus combined had revolted— And while they could not leave the Underworld, they could cause hell for those who resided below. 

One thing all messenger’s failed to mention was the wellbeing of the king down under. Zeus’s brother. It took three days, before word the Lord of Olympus. Hades was dead, slaughtered by those he resided over. Usurped, in a sense. 

Zeus’s initial reaction was shock, disbelief, denial. He refused to accept that there was even a possibility his brother could die amongst the dead. It was impossible.

Then the grief had settled in, his heart sinking and weighing heavy on his stomach. “Leave me,” He’d ordered, waiting until the doors had closed before doubling over in his seat, whimpering faintly into his hands. 

A powerful, wise man his brother had been. The thought that he was lost to the world was more painful than a thousand arrows through his heart. There was so much left to be done, left to be resolved between the two brother’s. With no chance left to fix it, the king felt nothing but agony. His eldest brother, the one who’d protected him during the war, fought for him, defended him as he’d lie wounded. The brother who he’d fought with, mercilessly, for centuries, only to realize too late that it was all for nothing. 

He was gone. And nothing Zeus could do as a king, as a god, as a brother would bring him back.

No one else can fix this but you, Poseidon had insisted. And while the king of the gods was loathe to leave his home, the sea god had seemed sincere. Venturing down to the mortal world below was a trip he didn't enjoy unless it was for pleasure. But alas, he supposed he had no choice now. 

As he arrived at the scene of the problem... He realized there was nothing to be seen. Poseidon had lied, for whatever reason, and the squabbling minor gods were nowhere to be found. An angry huff left the king-- He should have known better than to trust his troublesome brother. 

As he turned around, a familiar figure caught his eye, and malice appeared on his features. 

"Hades. Fancy meeting you here."

Stares as though into his soul. Just so damn bored.

"--Gonna stare? Or are ya gonna say somethin'?"
