A GAME OF
BALANCE
Hades manifested near the Coast of the Gods.
In the sunlight, the shoreline boasted turquoise water and pristine, white
beaches, all set before the backdrop of cliffs, grottoes, and a monastery
made of white and green marble that could be accessed after ascending
three hundred steps. Mortals flocked here to swim, sail, and snorkel. It was
an oasis, up until the sun made its fiery descent in the sky.
After twilight, evil moved in the darkened night, beneath a sky of stars
and an ocean of moonlight. It came on ships and moved across New
Greece, and Hades was here to neutralize it.
He turned, the gravel crunching beneath his feet, and walked in the
direction of The Corinth Company, a fishery that took up an extensive
amount of real estate on the coast. The plaster façade of the warehouse
blended flawlessly with the ancient architecture adorning the shoreline,
appearing worn, bleached, and charming. A simple, black lamp highlighted
a sign bearing the company’s name, written in a font that boasted prestige
and power—admirable characteristics when they belonged to the best of
society.
Dangerous when they belonged to the worst.
A mortal moved in the shadow. He had been there since Hades arrived
and no doubt thought he was well hidden, which perhaps he was to other
mortals, but Hades was a god and he owned the shadows.
As he passed, the man moved and Hades twisted, his hand biting down
on the mortal’s. A gun was clutched in his fingers. Hades looked at the
weapon and then at the man, a wicked smile crossing his lips.
In the next second, sharp spires extended from the tips of Hades’ fingers,
sinking into the man’s flesh. His weapon clattered to the ground and he
dropped to his knees with a guttural cry.
“Please spare me, my lord,” the man begged. “I did not know.”
Hades always found the seconds before a mortal’s death intriguing.
Especially when he encountered one like this—one who had killed without
thought and yet feared his own demise.
Hades tightened his hold, and as the man trembled, the god laughed.
“Your death is not imminent,” Hades said, and the mortal looked up. “But
I will have words with your employer.”
“My employer?”
Hades almost groaned. So the mortal would play dumb.
“Sisyphus de e Ephyra.”
“H-he’s not here.”
Lie.
The knowledge coated his tongue like ash, drying his throat.
Hades lifted the man by his arm, spikes still embedded in his skin, until
their gazes were level. It was from this angle that Hades noticed a tattoo on
the man’s wrist. It was a triangle, now spliced by the spears extending from
his fingers.
“I do not need your aid to enter that warehouse,” Hades said. “What I
need from you is an example.”
