 Hera
The true Queen of the GodsHera ended up paying Dionysus no mind when he snarled like some mutt at her. Goodness she wanted to snap at Dionysus that Cerberus had better manners than he did but she kept her mouth shut. She could deal with his attitude for now, he was just being a petulant child after all. Hera would fold her arms and ended up smiling a little bit, well it seemed like Hades was planning this all out quite well. To have just enough power so he would be able to see them when they turned invisible to walk the mortal world. Hera would then chuckle a bit when Dionysus conceded that Dara should go and do the talking for them, it was amusing honestly and the first smart thing she heard come out of Dionysus's mouth. It was nice to know that he at least had the common sense to listen to other people who knew better than him. Hera would then blink in surprise when the other explained how his immortality was different than theirs. Hearing how the elixir kept him alive but didn't stop the aging process made Hera shiver a bit, shaking her head at the other god "Slight design flaw is an understatement.." she would fold her arms over her chest "Mortals often wish for immortal life...but what they don't realize that immortal life doesn't equate to eternal youth..." she shook her head once more as a sympathetic look came over her face "That hardly sounds like a life to live...living every day for so long...but your body being too brittle and frail to truly live...it's almost tragic..." for one so brilliant to end up becoming a brittle and frail old man and only becoming worse and worse as he grew older. Hera could only feel pity for the man.

  "I wonder what games we are playing today my love?" Goddess of Spring Queen of the Underworld  "Here", said Persephone as she gave Dionysus and Dara their own key card ideas that were VIP style,"You are aloud to go anywhere and take anyone you 'need' to we will meet you back at HQ with the soul", she said turning to hades,"Thats the plan correct? We rebuild his body there?", dara nodded and bowed her head to the pair,"Thank you so much for helping my daughter", she told them humbly,"Thank you papa.... if you hadn't found Odelia first and helped lead her to me I wouldn't know where she would be til this day"; She knew that she had been apologizing and reprimanding herself since she came to them but it was her only way to show her gratitude towards their help; Persephone smiled at her,"No need to say sorry like hades said we are family and I think it would be really nice.. for you.. if she could call you mom", she nodded to her knowing how much that may mean to someone like her.. as Persephone thought about her own relationship with her mother,'If mom had let me be free from the start.. would I feel grateful towards her?', these thoughts swam in her head as hera talked about the older man,'Great we are going to see an ancient relic at its finest', as she tried to imagine what he would look like;

 ☠ Name's Hades ☠
Lord of the Underworld, God of Wealth
..hey, how ya doin?..  "not every magically crafted item is perfect" he said as he walked them down the halls of the building "he was surprisingly fine with dying. said it felt more like he and his wife just went to sleep after a very long day" he said before stopping at a wooden door that looked like it was from the medieval era and scanned a card before opening it. inside was a beautiful simple cottage with elegant french style furniture. stepping inside, Hades looked around but couldn't find the alchemist and frowned "hmm ... he might be- GAH!" Hades said before turning around and saw the man behind the three of them. his hair was long, white and surprisingly silky, his skin white and leathery and very very skinny wearing white robes. honestly he looked like a walking corpse but still had a shine of life in him. as though he was between life and death but not in an evil way "oh ... my apologies" the man said in a kind french accent and gave a slight shrug "i tended to have that reaction as well when i was alive" he said with a slight chuckled as Hades held his hand over his heart trying to calm down "N-Nicholas Flamel?" he asked as the man nodded "indeed ... forgive me but, food isn't exactly we keep in here. perhaps in a few hundred years when my wife and i have settled in but ... well after six hundred years without needing food, you don't exactly get a taste for it, even after death ... might i ask-?" he said before gesturing to the three of them which the god of the underworld caught on "right, um ... i'm Hades. this is my wife Persephone and my sister-in-law Hera" he said as Nicholas eyed the three of them for a while before sighing "i see ... now i really do wish i had something to offer you"
Dionysus looked over at Dara and hugged her with one arm "Persephone is a ... terrific optimist, so much so you kinda can't help but believe her sometimes" he said before looking at her with a kind smile "give her time, and just be there for her" he said before looking at the key card "now ... what's say we meet this Red fellow"

Hera
The true Queen of the GodsHera let out the softest hums when the man had apparently explained his experience with dying to be like going to sleep after a long day. He certainly was lucky, many didn't have the luxury of having such a peaceful passing. She would fold her arms as there seemed to be some wooden door that was quite out of place it seemed but as the door was opened Hera would step inside with Hades and looked around. The furniture looked rather nice, a bit too simple but it did offer a nice atmosphere to this dingy little cabin looking area. Hera would then jump just the slightest when Hades had let out a cry and she'd look behind them to see what was probably the oldest looking man she'd ever seen in her entire existence. This man was clearly not meant to even still be walking, his body looked withered and like a corpse but yet his eyes twinkled brightly, it was almost an anomaly in her eyes. She would remain quiet for a moment before nodding her head "It's quite alright" she would state while folding her arms slightly with a slight smirk on her face as she turned her gaze to Hades had his hand over his heart "Come now Hades, no need to be so rude. We're his guests after all" she spoke with an amused look on her face, clearly more than happy to tease the other slightly. Once the other man was confirmed to be this Nicholas Flamel she gave him a once over and he looked just like how she expected. The blessing of eternal life over eternal youth did horrid things to a mortal body. Of course Hera couldn't resist smiling a bit at the old man, he certainly was as polite as they came "Nonsense, we did arrive unannounced" she would wave off his worries before looking at Hades for a moment "However there is something that we need from you, if you don't mind" Hera would explain to him, looking at Hades to fill in the finer details if the older man had any questions. This was his plan after all.

"I wonder what games we are playing today my love?" Goddess of Spring Queen of the Underworld Perephone followed hades and hera as it seemed they weren't leaving the building,"Wait they live here?", she asked hades honestly surprised thought they were gonna have to teleport or use a portal to get this guys location,"Doesn't make much sense considering this is were the dead lay to rest", she said rubbing her chin in thought as they enters the ancient door; She was just as startled as hades letting out a squeak of surprise and jumping behind him the moment the strange man appeared upon introductions she came out next to him waving somewhat nervously,"Odd one isn't he?", she whispered to her husband trying not to seem awkward she managed a smile and tried to keep her attention on the guy to make him seem less nervous;
Dara turned to her father and smiled at him,"Yes.. red.. odelia's friend.. very sad.. he had to die so young", she said quietly; Following her father down the hall as they made their way there,"Do you think.. he will accept the offer?", she said,"Wasn't there family here? HIs sister? the other friends he died with..", she commented quietly,"I hope he knows how much she will need him.. I am sure when she finds out she is going to be hurt.."; They stopped before the door way that had his keycard, she stood there what was he going to hink a Dryad and a god coming to gather him because his best friend ended up being related to the Olympian gods; She paused allowing her father to unlock the door she knew that others may be present in his paradise, she hoped the world he created wasn't that massive;

☠ Name's Hades ☠
Lord of the Underworld, God of Wealth
..hey, how ya doin?.. "ah ... yes and i have a feeling i know what you wish" Flamel said with a sad nod and hobbled over to a work station though it looked as though he was jogging it was no faster than a limping walk. Hades gave his wife a slight nod and whispered "wizards can be eccentric ... more than normal mortals. it's the magic that they're born with, opens their minds but makes them .... interesting at least" he said looking back at Flamel who still was jogging to the table and Hades simply walked over in five steps "the stone i originally made-" he said as he finally reached the table "was destroyed ... an associate of mine convinced me that it did more harm than good in the wrong hands and mine were not as strong as they used to be" he said with a shrug "however ... one unknown thing other souls do not know is that magical items are, in a sense, alive ... so when i destroyed the Philosopher's Stone in the mortal realm, imagine my surprise ..." he said before waving his hand over a golden box which swirled around like an intricate puzzle to reveal a large ruby-like jewel "when i discovered this here" he said before looking at the three "i cannot imagine what you three would want with it, but honestly it matters not to me. so long as you swear to not use it for personal gain i will gladly part with it" he said as Hades smiled at the man and nodded "tell me though, this is supposed to create gold from any metal ... if you don't like personal gain then-" "oh you think- non non non ... i used the gold to construct hospitals, and the elixar was used, not only for my wife and i, but to heal some injuries Healers could not ... had to use it sparingly of course but still ... no" he said then looked around his house "i always lived a simple life ... one of knowledge and a wish to help mankind" he said getting the stone out and smiled at them "i cannot see how Emrys can handle living for over 1500 years, but i have held you up long enough" he said offering the stone to Hades who took it
"we can only hope, my dear ..." he said opening the door to Red and his sister's version of paradise "we can only hope" he said before walking through, looking around at it all "hopefully we can find him easily"

"I wonder what games we are playing today my love?" Goddess of Spring Queen of the Underworld Perephone was glad that despite everything they would recieve the philosophers stone.. but she hope that their idea for it wasn't selfish.. or for self gain.. she looked over at hades then back, to Flamel,"Thank you.. I assume you know why we are using it right?", she asked,"Or.. are you not interested in knowing?";
Dara nodded to him as they slowly exited the tropical area, It was a beautiful beach much like any island and on it sat a village much like the one odelia grew up in but there was no poverty shacks and there was no hungry people.. a lot of people actually enjoyed their neighbors in life so they joined them in death; Dara made sure she she reverted to her human form so that her being a dryad din't scare off anyone that approached the beach was a perfect sandy warm day not to hot nor to cool; Gulls sqauwked in the backgrund as her and her father walked along the beach; Up ahead were two people a younger looking woman (teenager) with long red hair and a blue silk ribbon bow she stood in white and she was calling out to someone on the water,"Richard! Richard its time for lunch!", she would say, slowly but surely came someone coming from a boat in the water; Tall red-headed freckles across the nose.. he had a distinctive piece of facial hair along his chin and he seemed to glide through the water at ease... If it weren't for him wearing normal clothes most people would assume he was the noticeable red at first glance but no.. hew ore plain, clean clothes that suited him, Dara stood by watching as he got out of the boat as he approached the shore; There was as strange silence as the siblings turned to the pair they seemed puzzled ot meet new faces and even more so that they were no one they knew from their previous lives... red gave them a rather cautious/intimidating glance as he asked in a rather loud voice,"Hello! We dont get visitors..", he said as his sister clutched his arm,"Richard..", she whispered,"They are glowing look..", and they did have a somewhat golden sheen coming from them projecting their godly aura; Dara stood a firm several feet away as did her father,"Greetings Richard and Lily Markson.. It is very nice to finally meet you both..", she said quietly, they siblings looked at one another puzzled and then back at her,"Do.. we know you?", asked red;

Hera
The true Queen of the GodsHera glanced at Persephone and nodded her head a bit in agreement "I suppose having an anomaly of a person that ages but doesn't die leaves you to make exceptions" she had casually dropped with a shrug of the shoulders, this seemed to be quite the special case for Hades to deal with. Hera would stand by as she watched the poor old soul hobble so slowly to his destination, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for the mortal. He seemed like such a sweet man and Mr. Flamel certainly was very polite and courteous, she liked mortals like him who were actually respectful in general. Then for him to be in such a state to where simply moving seemed like such a chore, maybe she just had a bit of a bleeding heart...no that's Hestia, but still her empathy for the man was strong. The Queen would then listen to the mortal speak about this 'Philosopher's Stone' and how he'd ended up destroying it. Well that was a plan down the chutes it seemed, however she would continue to listen until lo and behold he produced the stone that had apparently joined him in the afterlife. Hera would then smile a bit when he stated that he'd part with it as long as they didn't use it for personal gain which she had no issue with, there was only one thing she needed but it had nothing to do with the stone and would need to wait until after they were done with this. Once the stone was in Hades's possession she would smile softly at the old man "Thank you, the stone won't be abused. For that, you have my word" Hera would then turn to the others present "So shall we get to work or do you think Dara and Dionysus need more time?" admittingly Hera would do what she could to assist in any way possible but right now Hades and Persephone were the brains behind the operation.

☠ Name's Hades ☠
Lord of the Underworld, God of Wealth
..hey, how ya doin?.. "Madame ... if i am to be honest, my days of knowing the goings on in the world are over, though i have an idea on your plan. But with all do respect, knowledge or no, i only ask for a peaceful afterlife" Flamel asked with a kind smile as Hades gave him a nod and pocketed the stone "and you shall have it" he said before looking to Hera "if they need more time then all the better, this ritual might take some time" he said before bowing his head to the alchemist in thanks and started to walk off but stopped and waved his hand producing a single pomegranate and handed it to the frail man who looked at it curiously then back at him "you and your wife eat a few of those seeds for a few days, you'll be back to how you were before your elixir days" he said making Flamel blink in surprise then smiled bowing his head "merci, Monsieur Hades". nodding once more, Hades went out the door and waited for the other two before closing the door
raising his eyebrows at Lily due to hearing her slightly about them glowing 'so she can sense auras? interesting' he thought to himself before Red asked if they knew them "well ... not us exactly, though you know my granddaughter, her daughter-" he said with the last bit pointing to Dara but kept his eyes on the siblings "Odelia Hopkins ... it's a very long story but to sum it all up, my daughter here hand Odelia with Jack Hopkins but kept it a secret ... even from me, now that i think on it" he said before shaking his head and pulled out a goblet out of this air that smelt of wine "that last part isn't important, what is important is-" he said before taking a swig of his goblet before spitting it back out to the side and coughed "WATER!?" he shouted in shock nearly choking and wiped his mouth with his hand "oh that is disgusting!" she said shuddering and made his goblet vanish with a pouting, disgusted scowl "dirty trick, Hades ... damn dirty trick ... ugh ... where was i?" he said frowning as he actually lost his train of thought "oh! yes ... we have a prop- a propa- we have an offer for you"

"I wonder what games we are playing today my love?" Goddess of Spring Queen of the Underworld Persephone smiled at her husband generous gift and left outside the door she turned to Hades as they were heading back out into the main hallway leading to the lobby,"I'm going to text Dionysus to see how things are holding up", she said,"Hopefully they can convince him.."; she pulled out her phone shooting out a text,'How are things going on your end? we got the stone';
The siblings looked rather astonished and at the mention of odelia Red's jaw dropped,"Captain!?", he said only to hear that this woman was his mother and he was her grandfather? That didn't make sense,"you claim to be Odelia's mum but who is Sarah hopkins then?", he said crossing his arms,"Regardless... whats this offer?", he said wondering why they were coming in here claiming to be related to odelia but showing no proof,"What my father said is true..", said dara as she assured him the best she could,"If you wish to see the truth I can show you but for the offer.. we ask that you allow us to take you back with us.. the offer we give you is life again", there was silence on the beach for several minutes as the reality of everything sunk in,"Life?.. I know.. i'm dead.. I remember..", the memory of his death still fresh on his mind the young man rubbed his temples,"Why offer it to me?", he said; Dara looked over at Dionysus,"Well its a long story..", she then began to tell him and show him memories of her and jack not including the *censored content* odelia as a baby when Odelia began to become awoken showing her true heritage, afterwards she discussed with him Poseidon proposition of bringing back pirates to make a brethren court after they found out what happened to lily the gods decided to make the court and Dionysus forced Poseidon to allow one of Odelia's crew members to come back,"The gods are not easy to let the dead come back to life but hades is being generous considering many of his family are heros in the up coming war", she told him,"We will need all the help we can get"; There was a brief pause before red told them both,"I'll tell you my decision by sundown", he told them firmly taking lily's hand he walked away from the two and headed into the house which they lived in; Dara nodded to him and turned to her father,"Let us hope.. he decides to come back... or should we try with another one of her crew?", she asked him concerned;

Hera
The true Queen of the GodsHera would nod her head at Hades as he answered her question, it made sense that such a thing would take time. So with that Hera would look to Mr. Flamel and nodded her head a bit at the older gentleman in goodbye. However she would pause and blinked as Hades produced a pomegranate and handed it to the old man. Now what was this about? However she soon got her answer when Hades explained essentially that the seeds of the fruit would restore Mr. Flamel and his wife to their youth before the elixir which caused Hera to blink and stare at Hades for a moment in surprise. Then in her minds eye she saw a flash of Hades all those years ago when they were both still so young, when they were close friends. That kindness she had forgotten he was even capable of had shown once more, he'd exercised it already by letting her know that he was the one who purified her body of the darkness. But to see it before her very eyes was something nostalgic in a way for her and a small smile graced her features. Once they were all out the door Hera would place a single hand on Hades's back and gave the other a warm smile "That was very kind of you Hades, I'm glad to truly have you back" to have one of her oldest friends back in her life was something she never thought possible. Hera would then turn to Persephone and grabbed her hand while taking Hades's other as well so that she was holding both their hands "I know this may not be the time but..." she gave them both a smile "I wanted to say this. Seeing that Hades has truly become the man I once knew, I'm so glad that you both found happiness with each other. And I wish that I was the one to preside over your wedding" it seemed that fate had kept both Hera and Hades from attending each others weddings which was an utter travesty for the Goddess of Marriage itself. Hera would then release their hands and she gave them both a wink "When this is all over and Olympus is back in our control please do let me know though when you both plan to renew your vows" she lightly teased the couple before allowing Hades to lead them to where they were required next.

☠ Name's Hades ☠
Lord of the Underworld, God of Wealth
..hey, how ya doin?.. "yes well ... he may be a stiff but he didn't need to be stiff, heh ... " he said awkwardly chuckling at his joke but let it drop before seeing Hera being heartfelt at the two of them. Smiling a bit, he was confused upon hearing about 'renewing their vows' and looked at Persephone with raised eyebrows then looked at Hera "i ... wasn't aware that was a thing ... though i think you'll like that Eros is making plans to get married as well. And i will admit, Psyche is interesting for a mortal ... well, mortal for now" he said then glanced at Persephone's phone to see if there was good news on Dionysus's end. The reply actually made him wince: 'he's reluctant. He won't make a decision till sundown. Also which one of you made my wine turn into water?!'
After sending his text, Dionysus sighed a bit and sat down in a nearby chair, rubbing his face "i don't think so ... he just is taking his time to ... say goodbye i think. Still, better for us. I get a feeling whatever Hades is going to use to make a new body may take time" he said then looked to Dara with a softer expression "time is both a blessing and a curse. It will take time for Odelia to accept us, and if her powers take to their full potential, then time will be plenty"

"I wonder what games we are playing today my love?" Goddess of Spring Queen of the Underworld Persephone looked over at her husband's text message being noisy and frowning,"Well thats not good he wants more time.. Hopefully he says yes or Dionysus may be pissed for a couple of centuries.. Its not like his grand-daughter is gonna be immortal and he can mend things later..", she pointed out,"He has limited time", she then added,"And let him know it was me if he wants to pitch a fit about it I'll toss him to Cerberus as a chew toy", she commented with a teasing smirk;
Dara stood near the beach the spray of the ocean on her face,"Papa...if there is a point that I should die..", she said knowing the conversation was rather morbid but wishing for him to know,"I would like you to take me to Jack's island and plant me there", knowing when her time came she would turn into a tree; Time passed by slowly, as moment later She then said quietly,"The breeze is so soft here.. It reminds me of the island it reminds me of the past", she then opened her gaze softly gazing out onto the blue ocean,"Now I suppose we will wait..";

Hera
The true Queen of the GodsHera would look a bit shocked and sighed before shaking her head at Hades with a small frown "Men..." she muttered under her breath while rubbing her temples a little bit and shaking her head a bit. Of course it didn't surprise her that Hades had never even heard of renewing your vows, Zeus had laughed when she suggested it saying that it had sounded like something she had made up on the spot. It was hopefully when he'd been under the effects of the darkness because otherwise Hera would make herself all riled up again over what happened so long ago. The Queen would then listen to the other man explain that Eros was planning on getting married which delighted Hera to no end "Ah it's nice to know that love is still blossoming even in these troubled times" well now that she was back in action there was no way that Hera wouldn't be presiding over Eros's wedding! She could only imagine what kind of show Aphrodite put on at Hades and Persephone's wedding while the Goddess of Marriage was gone!
