Hope you guts enjoyed this story as much as I did, and just be patient as soon I will start a series of one shots as a sequel to this fic.

Also, you guys can check my new Spider-Man story, is called 'Our Life.'

Epilogue.

Persephone watched amused at both her daughters Macaria and Melinoe as they argue for some reason she did not know yet. The queen of the Underworld knew that the sisters weren't always friendly to each other, but she was sure that the banter was a harmless one as they did care for each other.

"What's going on with you two?" She asked a bit curious when Macaria's face turned red. "What happened now?"

"Nothing Mother!" said the white-haired princess. "Melinoe and I were just talking a bit louder than usual." She said elbowing her sister so that she says the same thing.

"Yeah right…" said Melinoe rolling her eyes. "She's mad because I interrupted her daily stalking of Thanatos." The younger princess smirked at her blushing sister and smiling mother.

"MELINOE!"

"Bye!"

And the red head princess disappeared in a poof of smoke that Hecate had taught her to do, Macaria was fuming with a blush still on her face as the soon-to-be-18-year-old princess was embarrassed that her sister told her mother what she was doing.

"So… Thanatos?" asked her mother with a mischievous smile in her face while looking at her eldest daughter. "I knew you had a soft spot for him ever since he saved you from that lion all those years ago."

"Mother please don't tell father or him. Specially him!" Macaria said with panic in her voice.

"I'm not telling Thanatos, but… why I can't tell your father?" she asked confused.

"It's just that… dad is a bit over protective with me. Remember when he almost sent Apollo to Tartarus when he danced with me in the last feast?" said Macaria remembering her furious father screaming at Apollo for hugging her while dancing. "Imagine what he would do to Nata if he knew!"

Persephone cringed remembering the event, she was also furious as she and Hades knew Apollo was up to something, but still, her husband went a little over the top with the punishment. "Wait… Nata?" asked Persephone amused after hearing the nickname.

Macaria's blush only intensified after realizing she said Thanatos nickname to her mother. No one knew about it, only the god of death himself knew about the nickname she had for him. "Nothing!" and she was gone.

Persephone let out a smile, she remembered being her age and falling in love with the man that later became her husband, the same man that gave her the raven necklace she treasured with her life. "You're about to live the most beautiful experience in your life my daughter, you just wait."

With that she walked towards her garden to work on her plants while waiting for her husband to come home.

Tower of judgement. The Underworld.

Hades was tired and annoyed, he thought that with Thanatos and Macaria as the god of death and goddess of blessed death, and the judges taking over, well… judging, he would have more free time to spend with his family at home, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case for him.

"My King, another 'celebrity' wants a meeting with you to discuss his status as a dead person." Said Thanatos looking at him through his blindfolded eyes. "Should I tell him where to go or should I let the judges do it for you?" asked the young god.

"Thanatos, how old are you?" he asked out of nowhere, confusing the dark god.

"I'm 23, my lord. Why you ask?"

"Take the day off, be young, be free. You may be the god of death, but you're not dead." Said Hades surprising the man in front of him. "I'm leaving, my wife is soon to leave for her time with her mother and I don't want to waste time I could be spending with her."

"I understand my lord, you should leave, I can handle work…"

"Weren't you listening?" asked Hades amused. "Take the day off, find a woman to love, live your youth."

Thanatos blushed at his boss words, he wasn't much of a party guy of a ladies man like his brother Hypnos, he was more like Hades, to the point where he was in love with one woman, the catch? It was his king's daughter.

"I'm not like that my lord, the only woman I love is way out of my league, also, I don't like to party like my brother does." He said bowing his head. "But I may take the day off, I will like to paint in the Elysian fields, if I may?" he asked for his permission, which Hades granted.

And soon they were both out of the tower, Hades ran to his palace, he was excited to go home and kiss his beautiful wife, he wanted to be with her as much as he could before she leaves for the next three months. He wanted to hold her and make love to her, he wanted to be with her.

"Dad! What are you doing here?"- 'maybe that would have to wait.'- he thought as he saw his daughter Macaria approach him. "Weren't you supposed to be working?" she asked him.

"I was, but decided I wanted to spend time with your mother, you and your sister. Where are they by the way?" he asked looking around trying to see the rest of his family.

"Melinoe is either with Hecate or Hypnos, and mother is in her garden waiting for you." She said. "Wait… did you leave Thanatos working alone?" she asked worried for the god of death.

"No, I gave him the day off as well. He overworks himself as much as I did when I was his age, the boy sure needs to live a little."

"Dad… are you okay?" asked Macaria surprised that her father worried about Thanatos for overworking.

"What? I'm allowed to care for my subjects, and Thanatos is like family."

Macaria smiled at her father, she knew he was a softy when he wanted to be, she saw that every day with her and her sister, and especially with her mother. "Where did Thanatos go?" she asked suddenly very nervous.

"He's at the Elysian fields, he said he wanted to paint something." Hades saw how his daughter's eyes lit up after knowing where the god of death will be, she bid farewell at her father and left right away.

"She has a crush on him. I can see how she reacts when she's with him." Said a new voice that Hades knew very well, his wife Persephone just entered the room.

"I was afraid she did. Thanatos has taught her everything about the Underworld and with the both of them being gods of death and spending too much time with each other, it was a matter of time." Said Hades with sigh.

"She was worried that you find out about her crush, since the incident with Apollo… well you know what happened."

"Don't remind me, he still needs to be punished." He said starting to get angry while remembering the event with his nephew. But before he could stress even more about it, he calmed down after feeling his wife lips on his, kissing him with love.

"Don't stress about it, let's just have some fun." She said in a husky voice and a blush in her cheeks.

"Mmm… what do you have in mind?" asked Hades a bit excited.

"I was thinking in taking a long and nice bath. Maybe you will like to join me?"

"Oh! You have no Idea how much I do."

With that said they went to their room and into their bathroom so that they could take that bath together and enjoy the last months they had before Persephone returned to the surface. their love making was incredible as always and it extended for the rest of the day, not caring for dinner o other things, just themselves.

Elysian Fields.

Thanatos was so focus on his painting that he didn't noticed when Macaria arrived at his spot nor was he prepared when she said hi to him. "By the gods! Macaria, you scared me." He said with a hand on his chest.

"I'm sorry Nata, it wasn't my intention to scare you." Macaria was trying not to laugh after hearing him scream with fright, but she couldn't keep it in anymore. "I'm glad you find my misfortune funny." He said not amused.

The young woman proceeded to sit down next to the dark god and watched him paint, she was mesmerized by his skills, and him.

"What are you painting?" she asked after a while, she was curious about Thanatos painting.

"Nothing in particular, just trying to relax. Painting landscapes helps with that." He said while continuing to paint.

"Have you ever painted someone's portrait?"

"No, I only paint that that is important to me or to express my feelings." He said not moving his gaze from the canvas.

"Don't you want to…?" She asked.

Thanatos looked at her and couldn't avoid the blush that invaded his face as Macaria was a sight to admire. The young goddess was very beautiful, her long and curly white hair and her womanly curves made her look like a goddess of love instead of a goddess of death, her green and blue eyes gave her a uniqueness that no other woman, goddess or nymph had, she was just perfect.

"I do… but I haven't found the perfect model." He said avoiding her eyes as she gaze upon him with her beautiful yet sexy face.

"Paint me."

Thanatos almost chocked on air after hearing her request, she was asking him to paint her; he couldn't do that as it was something very intimate for him, something only he could do for his lover, and unfortunately, they could never be.

"I can't, for me painting someone's portrait is an intimate action reserved for the one you love."

"You don't love me?" She asked suddenly, he could see the sadness and disappointment and it pained him.

"I do Macaria, I love you very much. But… we can't…"

Time stopped for the god of death as he felt warm and soft lips touch his lips, she tasted like strawberries with chocolate, he knew she loved to eat them as they were her favorite since they were kids. Macaria warped her arms on Thanatos neck to deepened the kiss, she felt him warp his arms on her waist to pull her closer to him; they were both in Elysium, both literally and figurative speaking.

"I love you too." She said out of breath after the kiss. She looked at his blindfold, she wanted to see his beautiful eyes so she decided to reach it and remove it.

"Wait! Macaria… you shouldn't. We can't…" he said stopping her before she could remove his blindfold.

"Why not?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"You are a princess, I'm just a servant."

"I don't care, and I know that my parents wouldn't care, or at least my mother would not." With every word her heart break to pieces, she knew that this was going to be hard, but she knew it was worth it. "I want to see your eyes." She said.

Thanatos was surprised, no one liked his dark red eyes, as even the gods were afraid of them, they were the eyes of death and so he kept them hidden to everybody else. "I can't, I don't want you to be afraid of me, even if I can't have you as mine, I want to still be your friend." He said afraid.

"Show them to me, please." She begged, her cries made him want to die, funny considering he was death. "I don't care if everybody else fear them, fear you. I love you and your eyes are not going to change that." She said placing her head in his chest.

Thanatos let out a sigh, he was afraid she will run in fear after seeing his blood red eyes, but her cries made him obey her; if seeing his eyes will make her stop crying then he will do it.

"I love you Macaria." He said removing his blindfold and opening his eyes.

Blood red eyes looked at her with hurt and fear of losing her, she knew that Thanatos was feared for being death itself, and because of his red eyes, but to her, they were the most beautiful and unique she ever seen, the eyes of the man she loved.

"Look at me." She said to him as he avoided her gaze, but after a while he looked at her waiting for a rejection that never came. "Do you see fear in my eyes?" she asked him. "Do you see hate or disgust in them?" He shook his head no. "What do you see?"

He looked at her eyes trying to catch any sign of rejection, but he saw nothing of such, just love. "I see you, I see love." He said after a while, tears now running down his face. "That's because I do love you." She said back.

"We can't…"

"Why?"

"Because…"

"I don't care, I can renounce my title as princess if I must. I don't want it if I can't be with you, I don't want to be happy without you." She said before feeling his lips, now he was kissing her and it felt amazing.

The kiss was turning a bit more heated as they fell into the soft grass, hands were roaming each other's body while their tongues battle for dominance, Macaria was out of breath by the kiss so she had to end it so she could breath. Thanatos decided to explore her expose neck making her gasp, he kept kissing the spot between her neck and her shoulder until the girl moan making him realize what he was doing to her.

"Why did you stop?"

"Tomorrow I will speak to your father, I will ask for his permission to court you properly." He said removing himself from her, a clear blush in his face due to the recent activity they were doing. "After I make you my wife, we will continue were we left off, until then, we must resist even if it kills me."

Macaria only laugh at his remark, tomorrow is her 18th birthday and they will talk to her father hoping he will give them his blessing; she knew that it was going to be hard but she knew he will accept, and then she will become Thanatos wife.

"So… are you going to paint me or what?" she asked with a smirk, she extended her arm so that he would help her get up.

Thanatos laughed while helping her and then he hugged. "I will. In our honeymoon, a portrait just for me." He said before kissing her lips again, making her blush getting an idea of what he was referring to.

Meanwhile, behind a tree stud both Melinoe and Hypnos, both were spying on their respective siblings, both had a huge grin in their faces.

"You owe me those tickets to that concert Hyp." Said the 16-year-old teen looking at her friend.

"I can't believe I lost. I never thought that my little bro felt the same way about her." Said the god of sleep looking at the couple with an astonished look.

Melinoe laughed at his surprised gaze. "You were always on your own world sleepy head, that's why you're never aware of what happens in you surroundings." Said the young redhead.

"I'm the god of sleep, is not my fault that I spend to much time dreaming." He defended himself. "Plus, Thanatos never gave me a sign that he lov…"

The god of sleep stopped mid-sentence after feeling a soft kiss on his cheek, he looked at the young princess and she had a huge blush in her face. "Come! Let's go play with Cerberus." She said avoiding his gaze while pulling his arm and guiding him towards the giant three headed dog; he was still confused by the kiss, but he couldn't denied the warmth he felt in his chest after receiving such kiss.

- 'I guess you're not the only one that have's to talk with our king, brother' – said Hypnos to himself before fallowing the young and beautiful princess. Both brothers were unaware of what was about to come for them, but they could rest assured that all was going to be worth it at the end. IF they survived.

The End?

Well as promised, here is the true ending of this story. As I said before, I do have plans for a sequel (or a bunch of one shots sequels) for this story, but for the mean time this is the end. I'm working in a Spider-Man fic if any of you want to read it, is already in my profile and it's called "Our Life" and is my own take on Spider-Man's origin and love story with M.J.

So bye and it's been a pleasure.
