Hades stared numbly at the wall where his golden blood glistened beneath the torchlight. His blood was splattered among the room, in a scene of horror, and only the slow healing wounds a reminder. For Hades could not.

He could not remember the pain, the madness that had gripped his very being. He could not remember the wounds that he had cut into his immortal flesh. He could not remember the snapping of bones, nor could he remember the pure agony that had embraced his very being. Those he did remember the voice of his father. The voiced that had been filled with malice and hatred one minute and, sweet promises the next. It did everything it could to turn him against his siblings. It would not let go, pulling him into a dream-like reality where freedom was but a dream. A place where he had no control, presided by cruel golden eyes.

He shivered at the mere thought. His shadows swirled around him in a vain attempt to protect him from a threat, but Hades remained unseeing. Yet something seemed to come to light within those black eyes.

"My lord!" gasped Thanatos when he caught sight of Hades. Thanatos quickly moved to Hades side, and He gently led Hades to the bed before he could collapse from the latest episode. He easily ignored the look Hades sent his way.

"I am hardly a new born kitten." Sneered Hades, as he made himself comfortable.

"I'm fairly sure I'm older than you, but that is beside the point. You can hardly continue like this."

"I know which is why I have an assignment for you."

"Let me guess, you want me to go get Hecate."

Hades raised an eyebrow. "If you know, then why are you still here?"

"Right…" Replied Thanatos as he vanished from the room, leaving the injured god behind.

Traveling through the pathways, he quickly made his way to Hecate's cottage. The mere surroundings were saturated with magic, and Thanatos waited for her magic to recognize him before he made his way forward. Even before he knocked, the door swung opened on its own.

He entered the cottage wearily, used to stray magic coming his way. Some instances were some he cared not to repeat.

"Hecate!" called Thanatos.

"Back here. Just give me a sec, and I'll be right there."

Thanatos ducked as the house gave a shudder, and a thick column of smoke floated through the room. Hecate came from the back with her red hair in disarray, with some of the ends a bit charred. With a flick of her hand, her appearance returned to normal.

"What are you doing on the floor?" She asked, not bothering to hide any of the amusement she felt.

Thanatos frowned as he stood up, ruffling his feathers in annoyance. "Do you have to do that every time, I come here?"

"It's not my fault that you have bad timing. So why are you here? You hardly come here since the time you accidentally became a poodle, though you were quite a cute one." She teased, though her expression fell when she noticed Thanatos expression. "This isn't a social visit, I suppose?"

"It happened again."

"Again, wish I was surprised. Kronos is a rather persistent pest after all."

"I know"

"So he's finally decided to go through with it. Should we tell Persephone?"

"No Persephone has doesn't have any duty to the underworld any longer, since she divorced Hades a while back. She is one of the reasons its worse."

"You can't say that. Her and Hades relationship was one of convenience after all, but even now they are still friends. She will probably visit, and do you really expect her to be okay not knowing. She'll probably make our lives miserable."

"She won't."

"You sound so sure. I'm pretty sure she'll make us sleep on the couch." Said Hecate dryly as she thought of the other times they manage to piss Persephone off. If it wasn't for Hades their relationship would have probably fell apart a long time ago.

Thanatos flinched. "I suppose we'll tell her when she comes to visit, but Hades comes first."

"Is he okay?"

"No, it gotten worse and I hate seeing him like this. I'm still surprised he hasn't turned his back on his family, seeing how they treat him. Especially after what Zeus did to Maria. Hades absolutely despises Zeus at the moment."

"Yeah, too bad he still loves them despite everything. We best get moving, there no point in leaving Lord Hades waiting." said Hecate as she grabbed Thanatos' arm, and she apparated them to Hades' palace with nary a sound.

They appeared just outside the palace's walls and both of them were surprised. While the underworld was normally dark, there was a darkness that seemed too ooze out of the walls that had a menacing overtone. Even the vibrancy seemed to have faded, with large cracks that stretched across the stone.

Hecate stood shocked. "You didn't say it was this bad."

"I didn't know. I teleported as soon as I left his room." Replied Thanatos, but before he could take another step, Hecate stopped him.

"Are you sure you're ready? That we're ready?"

"I doubt we'll every be ready, but we don't have much of a choice at the moment. The consequences could be dire, but at least we won't be alone. Persephone will probably visit soon, and I'm sure Charon will help in the long run. We'll make it." Said Thanatos as he shrugged Hecate's hand off of him as he led the way to

Hades rooms, Hecate a mere step behind him. Each ghostly servant bowing to their presence, as they walked pass.

Reaching Hades' door they knocked, and after a weak reply they entered. Despite it being Hades' room, it was in no better condition than the rest of the palace.

Hades sat on his king sized bed, in a somewhat cleaner condition than before, though that wasn't saying much. As Hades looked nothing like a god, it looked far too frail for that. He had lost a lot of weight, enough that they could see his bones beneath pale skin. Hades had black eyes that had dark bruises from lack of sleep and, his long black hair had streaks of silver. Stretching across his skin was a series of pale scars that littered his frame.

His appearance made Hecate horrified. As such a thing should be impossible, except for the worst of injury, and that alone took a lot of damage.

Seeing Hecate's look, he gave a small smile. "It's not as bad as it looks."

"Yes my lord, you are completely fine." Was Thanatos sarcastic reply, which Hades easily ignored.

"I suppose it hardly matters now, as we're here to fix it. So let's get down to business." Said Hecate as Thanatos moved to lean against the wall.

"Yes lets. It should still be the same as usual, but with some differences for the current situation."

"So I'll cast a glamour charm on either me or Thanatos, but are there any specifics I should know about? We've done this more than once, but I don't see what should be changed."

"I suppose it's the same for you and Thanatos, but there will be some differences on my end. For one thing, I was wondering if you will allow me entrance into your community as a wizard."

"I see that way you are less likely to run into monsters as magic keeps you off the radar, but at this current time, there is a war going on. If you are reborn as a wizard, you will be trading one war for another. I also have no control what family you'll be born into, so you could end up in a fair amount of trouble."

"It's better than being confused as my own demigod son."

All of them shuddered at that, easily imagining what could happen if that happened, especially with the prophecy going on. Plus there was Zeus' trigger finger and Demeter wrath to worry about."

"Is there anything you need me and Hecate to do, as we a pretended to be you?"

"It should be pretty straight forward, and I have a plan to strengthen Kronos' chains. So you shouldn't have to worry about that at least, as you weren't born from his seed, he shouldn't be able to affect you as much. Persephone too should be a great help. Between the three of you, I'm sure you'll be able to keep things running smoothly, plus my divinity will keep Kronos within his cage. Upon my mortal death, I'll become a god once more."

"Are you sure it is wise to trust us? We could join Kronos and take over the underworld in your absence." said Hecate, twirling a strand of red hair.

"I trust you two. You are my loyal servants, my friends, and my family. If you betrayed me, than I must have been a horrible king to deserve such a fate."

Hecate and Thanatos were stunned by such trust, and they couldn't help but want to be worthy of such trust.

"We will do our best." was their solemn reply.

"I know, so I suppose this will be goodbye for now." said Hades as he stood up, his robes hanging from his thin frame.

"I doubt it will be long sir, as I'm sure Thanatos and I will visit whenever we can. Also before you take off to the river of rebirth, I give you my blessings."

For a minute Hades glow a soft gray, as Hecate's blessing settled around him. He gave them a soft smile before he shadow traveled to the river rebirth. The waters were clear, and little orbs of colored light swirled within its currents. With one last look at his home, he fell into the river. He felt a large portion of his powers, and his very identity was stripped from his very being. With the last of his consciousness, he directed his powers. When all was said and done, all that was left was a darkly colored soul that shined a soft gray with a silver center among the brighter colored souls.

Meanwhile Hades' power was split into three parts.

The first one filled with duty and protection sunk into the underworld to keep it sustained, in check, and to keep from falling apart in his absence.

The second filled with kindness, joy, and trust curled around Hecate and Thanatos, giving them the ability to run the underworld.

The Third full of viciousness and great stubbornness, strengthened the chains that held Kronos in place.

The three seers of fate noticed a ripple of change. Realizing that something had changed, they stored the color of thread that they were going to use, and they picked out a darker colored one. It was nearly completely black, but there was streaks of silver that was woven in, carefully they began to weave it into the tapestry in front of them. It encompassed all, protecting those beneath its wings. Hecate's chosen shining brightly within its heart. Fate was changed that day, and they looked forward to its new direction.

Deep within Tartarus, golden eyes shot open when it felt Hades' disappearance. Kronos' screams of anger could be heard for miles, as he felt his chains grow stronger. The chains were tightening with layers and layers of darkness.

On a cold night near the beginning of January, one Eileen Snape, nee Prince, held her newborn son after a tiring birth. Her baby boy was silent, his onyx colored eyes staring at everything in wonder.

"Welcome to the world, Severus."
