Since this is a sneak peak I won't be giving y'all the whole chapter Just a nice part of it. When you guys want the rest you'll have to look up the story yourself. It'll be called "Till death do we part", but don't expect it for a week or two. This story will be in first person, unlike "Always and Forever", and it will jump around from Thanatos's, Macaria's, and possibly a few others's point of views. I hope y'all enjoy.
Walking swiftly through the halls, my violet dress flowing around me, I carried paperwork to my father's office. Because I was the goddess of blessed death, I was able to partake in some of my father's duties. Most of them being me going into the upper world and collecting data of mortals who were going to die soon, whether it be from old age, sickness, or something else, I can always tell.
At first, my father was reluctant to let me go into the upper world. He said that I was too young to go up there alone. But, after I promised that I would call out to him if anything goes wrong, or use my necromancy to protect myself, he let me go.
The first couple of times that I went up there he had sent Thanatos, the god of death and my lovely male counterpart, to watch over me and make sure I didn't get into trouble. I didn't know this at the time, but my mother had told me. Needless to say, I was upset with Hades for having someone spy on me when I thought that I was alone, but I was also pleased to know that he cared enough about me to make sure I had more protection if the need be.
I picked up my speed to slow jog, now realizing that I was running late to give the papers to my father. On the way back to the underworld I had come across a little boy who was crying because his mother had died yesterday. I remembered writing about this woman, and I felt that I should at least tell the boy that everything was going to be okay. It turned out to be a ten minute discussion with him about his mother and how she lived a good and blessed life. She was easily one of the best soles I've ever read, so I told him that I "bet" she was spending the rest of eternity in the Elysian Fields.
Because of my faster pace, my papers were slipping out of their bondage and started to fall out of my arms. I looked down for a moment to readjust them, not slowing down, and before I knew it, I collided with a force and I was on the floor.
Emerging from my room, I thought about what laborious things Hades would want me to do today. He had been working really hard lately to try to get as many soles in and out of his court room as quickly as he could. Why? I have no idea. But, what I do know is that when Hades wants to work harder and faster, that meant we all had to.
As I was lost in thought of my complaining, I was nearly knocked off balance, and papers went everywhere. I heard a curse being muttered, but I couldn't see who spewed it yet. I knelt down to help pick some of the papers up, finding that it was all data for soles that were to die soon. I gathered an abundance of them and straightened them as I stood up. I finished quickly and looked down to seeā¦ Well speak of the devil's daughter.
She looked up at me with her huge blue doll like eyes. She looked down quickly and finished gathering the rest of them.
When she stood, I handed her the rest of her data. She smiled shyly, "Thank you."
I nodded.
"Hi, Thanatos."
"Hello Macaria."
Like I said before, there is more to the chapter but this is all y'all get for now. I hope y'all enjoyed what little you did get. Right now I'm working on another Macaria and Thanatos one-shot, so y'all can expect that either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
Talk to y'all then. Bye!
