Okay, experiment time! I really love the Greek myth about Persephone. I have no idea why, but I do. Anyway, I decided to rewrite the myth using the characters from Persona 3. Why? Because I can! Comments will be appreciated. Note: at the beginning of each chapter, I will list who's who, so we can remember and not have to go back to the 1st chapter to check. Also, for those you who haven't read the original myth, I suggest doing so before reading this fic. Makes it easier to follow.
The original myth is called "The Rape of Persephone". I'm going to assume "rape" was the Ancient Greeks' word for "kidnapping". I don't know, I'm just guessing. No actual rape is mentioned, but hey. So, I changed "rape" to "kidnapping" because I'm worried people would get the wrong idea just by looking at the title.
Well, I'm done. Anyone else have anything to say?

Theo: Um, may I ask why I'm the Underworld God?

Because I like pairing you with Minako.

Theo: I...see.

You get takoyaki after this. And-eh? Theo?

Minako: He ran to his dressing room.

...Huh. That was easier than I thought. Well, anyway, enjoy~

Disclaimer: I don't own Persona 3 and its characters. It belongs to the geniuses at Atlus.

Persephone – Minako
Hades – Theo
Demeter – Mitsuru

A heavy sigh escaped from the King of the Underworld's lips as he looked into the large mirror that sat in the corner of his room. The mirror showed the Human World and its light. The light that Theo could not enjoy for he was not welcomed by the humans. Who could blame them though for being afraid when they saw him? His domain was a dark, bleak abyss that offered little to no comfort.

He was about to dismiss the mirror's image when a flash of brown appeared. It was a girl. The most beautiful girl Theo had ever seen. Her chestnut hair was pinned up, showing her slender neck. Her smile reflected in her ruby colored eyes. Her white peplos helped show off her lithe figure. In her arms was a basket filled with wild flowers of many colors. Theo ran his fingertips over the glass surface, as if trying to reach this girl.

"Minako!" an unseen woman called out. The girl turned to the voice and waved. The mirror's image followed her as she ran towards girls he assumed to be her friends. He cared not for them. Only her. She could fill his life with her radiant light.

"Fetch me my chariot at once!" he ordered. I will have this girl.

Minako smiled at the flowers she just picked. Her mother, the goddess of crops and harvest, Mitsuru, would love them. She then noticed a bloom of narcissus on the edge of a pond. They were so beautiful that the urge to pick them was greater than the need to stay near her friends.

Suddenly, the earth opened up near her and out sprang a pair of black steeds, drawing a black chariot. Minako fell backwards, a shower of flowers falling on her, and instinctively covered her face with her arms. A strong, cold hand grabbed her wrist tightly, pulling her upward. She was pushed up against another, taller body. A man held her close. His slicked back pale blonde hair and pale skin stood out against his black cloak. Though he smiled when he looked at her, immense loneliness dulled his yellow eyes.

"Wh-Who are you?" she managed to squeak out.

"I am Theodore, King of the Underworld. However, you may call me Theo, my dear Minako."

The girl shivered. What did the Underworld God want with her? "Let go."

Theo shook his head. "I am taking you with me. From now on, you are my queen."

Minako screamed as the chariot carried her into the darkness below. She knew it was pointless, but she prayed her mother or one of the other gods heard her. The further down they went, the softer her screams became, eventually turning into sobs. After the chariot came to stop and Theo set her down, Minako tried to run. She ended up tripping on a stone and fell. She curled into a ball, weeping slowly dying away.

She heard Theo kneel next to her, placing a hand on her bare shoulder. Minako slapped it away and glared at the god. "Do not touch me. You may be a god, but that does not give you the right to take me away from my home."

Theo looked at a loss. He went to take her hand, but the girl slapped him away again. His patience began to grow thin. Against her wishes and protests, he placed her upon his shoulder, carrying her into the heart of his realm.

Mitsuru jerked up from her seat by the hearth. "Minako…" she muttered and ran outside. "Minako! Minako!" She had heard her daughter weeping through the earth, but not anymore. She sped off across the land, desperately searching for her beloved daughter.

So? What did you all think? Did I stick to the original well enough? Again, comments will be welcomed.
