The party had gone on for long enough. It was time to set wrong things back to right. She'd whispered this to her husband, who had reacted exactly like she'd wanted. She'd smiled as Hades had been grabbed by Kratos and brought before her.

She'd made him kneel, not even caring when Zeus had walked away. She'd deal with this on her own. "My brother, still so defiant. Even when you know you have nothing to gain from it." With a wave of her hand she brought attention to herself.

"Subjects to Olympus. Tonight we gather so justice may be done. Our laws may be old, the mortals may have forgotten them but we cannot. We obey them, for we must. You all know that the Lord of Sea is no more. The price for defying your Lord. Now the Lord of the Dead defies him once more. Even the three Sons of Cronus must obey laws written by themselves."

Long nails dragged along Hades' cheek, "you are upsetting the balance. The laws are clear. You have Persephone for a certain amount of months, then she goes to her mother. Release her."

Demeter had come closer as soon as Hera had began to speak, she knew what her role was here. Persephone too had drawn close and she looked across at the young woman she felt like she didn't even know her. This woman was a stranger, shaped like a mewling brat that Demeter had never been able to escape until now.

Persephone watched her mother with equal disinterest.

"Hades doesn't hold me against my will," Persephone said, her voice loud and clear across the silenced room. "I'm not going anywhere."

Demeter made no reaction other than to add, "and I don't want her. Hades can keep the child, she is of no interest to me."

From the conversation Hera knew things had already changed too much. Demeter was supposed to fight for Persephone. Hera couldn't care less what any of Zeus' bastards wanted. The only reason Persephone had been saved from Hera's wrath was because Demeter had kept her so caged.

She looked to Hades, then glanced to Kratos. "Punishment is still expected." She took Hades' chin, uncaring about the hatred behind the blue eyes. "We can't kill you big brother, but perhaps you'll remember your place now." She stepped back, unwilling to get blood on her dress, "your opinions matter little. The arrangement was clear. Rules cannot be broken. The girl will go home with her mother. It's high summer. Your place besides him is during the winter."

Kratos nodded at Hera's glance, ready to inflict as much pain as possible upon her command. This was Zeus' will. Their King had told Kratos to follow these orders and he would.

"My place," Persephone said coldly, "is here."

Demeter laughed, low and cold. "Stupid girl," Demeter just smiled. "Hera will destroy you both."
