I upload this as something like a prologue or overview of next arc of Holy War which titled 13th Arc, I am thinking of better title by now~
Anyway I am sure in the last part would confuse many people =_= It can't be helped... I just want this as an appetizer to be honest... And you can start guessing who Hades was talking about, and no... this is not shounen-ai or yaoi~ and believe it or not... in a way this is canon in LC's universe, and a little of classic SS -_-' Don't ask how~
BTW I will put angst story in here which from POV of each character, first is Athena, this one Hades and next... is Pegasus saint~
Black was the true color; if you mixed all fake colors what you would get was color of pure darkness. It's pure, true, and untainted color of my soul, Hades who ruled over underworld.
But this Hades wanted nothing more but to be complete, I wanted to change my lifeless color…
My wife Persephone was goddess of spring, daughter of Demeter. She was a goddess who possessed many colors within her, yet all colors of her drowned in my color of darkness. Her colors pale in comparison with mine, she was so insignificant.
Persephone… I thought with that color of hers, Persephone could change that absolute darkness of mine to be something new but she couldn't. Persephone in the end was not the color I sought, maybe there was no one who could taint my lifeless color.
But in the end I found it, color that so stark against mine. Color that would fill in this lifeless soul of mine, as another half I sought all this time.
This Hades knew what he sought was almost beyond him or anyone's; the very definition of the one who possessed this color was an unattainable existence.
Beyond dimension…
Beyond possibility…
Beyond existence of a mere God…
That color was white…
No, it's not pure white like a paper, which would be tainted by a drop of black ink…
Once I saw this color, existence of this color intrigued me to no end because it was beyond this Hades to describe it, if anything this color... was the color of light. A color that would broke mine clear… And I knew what I wanted…
This beautiful color, I wanted it to be mine…
It mattered not if I was the end and… what I wanted was a beginning…
I was darkness and death who sought light and rebirth…
When my hands reached out, always beyond my reach…
Flying free with that untainted color, soaring limitless sky without bounded to the ground, no bond with what underneath the sky, the earth… far away from my realm.
Would be… forever beyond me…
Was this Hades insane for wanting what other gods would never ever wanted to possess?
No…
Since the very beginning I was well aware that I was nothing like my siblings, I was nothing like Poseidon who was brash, temperamental, and loved to boast his power towards pathetic mortals. My youngest sibling Zeus was almost the same as Poseidon; if anything better he was just wiser and cunning.
I was always a different one among them; mortals feared me without lifting any finger because I was the god of underworld. I was the one who ruled over them once they succumbed to death; sometimes I wondered why they feared me? I never meddled over their life because when they live their life; human was none of my business. Did they know that torture they endured in my realm was fruit of seed they sowed in their life?
Human never mattered to me…
I was seen as cruel god they hated because I would be the one who tortured them for their sins, they were afraid to speak my name… as if that alone would invite my wrath.
And the one who possess this color loved human… like that niece of mine, Athena…
Once again when I though that light and rebirth was within my reach…
"I want to be perfect, to fill this lifeless soul of mine…"
"Why would we complete each other? I want nothing else than what I have now… I am content."
"But I am not… therefore I want your soul to be one with mine, oh light and rebirth… To be the perfect, a complete one…"
"Perfect? There is no such thing… I want us to stay as we are… imperfect and incomplete…"
"Why?"
"Because I feel complete as I am, you too… should seek contentment in this imperfectness and incompleteness… even this world is perfect because it's not complete… Human is perfect because of their lack."
"You don't want my soul? This darkness and death?"
"No… never…"
But this Hades never refused of what he wanted…
"Human and this world are what you think as perfect? Very well then… oh light and rebirth, I shall show you the perfect world once I covered it in tranquility of death and pathetic mortals shall perish and would never ever taint mother earth Gaia anymore…"
"You will go that far? You… "
"All that I wanted is to prove that I am an end who needs beginning…
I am death who needs rebirth…
I am darkness who needs light…
I desire to be complete… no more… no less… so I shall prove that it's right for us to be complete."
"How foolish…"
I was a fool?
But in the end this Hades shall show you, who was the real fool…
I shall crush that pathetic belief you shared with Athena, to show how foolish you are… you and Athena…
Thus holy war between this Hades, Athena… and you… shall begin, and circle of fate that chained us shall never broke till me, you… we became complete…
Review please! ^^
I fully expect you will be confused, but naah... I have no intention to make myself clear in this story~ beside I don't want to give spoiler!
