Warm light emitted from the delicate chandeliers suspended on the high ceiling of the grand hall. Men and women could be seen interlinked with each other, cavorting on the floor and few waiters carrying trays filled with colourful drinks. People from different corners of the world were united to this party. However, it held no importance to the chief guest who just had to be there for a secret meeting.

“My lord,” the beautiful muse of comedy bowed slightly to not gain suspition. The couple standing in front of her nodded their heads but did none else effort to blow their cover. The man was well muscled and tall, he wore an exquisite three-piece black suit with a white button-up shirt. His ivory skin was covered with a thin beard. The forest green eyes were so deep that someone could get lost in. The lady on his side was unearthly gorgeous. Her long raven tresses flowed down gently till her waist. She wore a low neck purple gown, paired with a diamond necklace. Her curves were well highlighted. Their arms were inseperabaly linked.

“Is she safe?” The King of the underworld asked, anxious for the subject’s well being.

“Yes,” Thalia dared not inform him the rest.

“It’s a relief to know.” The queen said, her exquisite glassy eyes staring at the silently standing muse.

“I must get going your graces.” She bowed slightly again and walked away.

“Isn’t she acting strange my love?” Persephone asked, staring at the running away muse.

“Might just be wishing to get back soon.” He shrugged. 

“What shall we do now Hades?”  A mischievous glint bloomed in her eyes. The music changed to a lower harmony.

“Would you like a dance, my Queen?” Hades offered her his hand which she took delightfully.

“That would be an honour, my King.” 

Hades slid his other hand around Persephone’s thin waist and pulled her towards him. Their chests crashed and both their hearts started hammering. 

They glided over the marble floor with great elegance. The beautiful gown of Persephone projected as a long cone as Hades twirled her round. People were staring at the ethereal couple, some with admiration, others with envy. 

“May I steal your acquaintance, My lady?” A chirpy voice distubed their both joys. They turned around to find the tall figure of a lady with excellent curves sticked by forest green fabric, flowing all the way down her knees. Her collarbone was decorated with an onyx necklace the shape of a triple moon. Huge brown curls danced around her shoulders. Hades growled seeing her. 

She chuckled and offered her hand towards him. Persephone smiled and pecked him on one cheek.

“If it weren’t you,” she smiled to the beauty and elegantly strode away.

“My lord Hades,” she bowed.

“My lady Hecate, to what do I owe this dance?” Heckate placed a slender hand on his shoulder and the other in his huge hand.

“She is a snake,” her pretty lips molded into a frown. Hades’ calm mood vanished.

“What happened?”

“Lady Iris brought a human child to Olympus. A human girl child, I saw the golden hair, she’s definitely her. Thalia lied to us of having got her.”

“Are you saying that Iris stole away the kid?”

“She’s a smart woman.”

“But we can’t be sure if it is the same child.”

“We can’t Aidoneus but it must not go unnoticed either.”

“Iris does everything on purpose, then is Thalia doing wrong?”

“We cannot say for sure my Lord.” 

“Hmm, can you go check on her?” 

“Sure my lord,” she said and took her leave. As soon as she walked away, Persephone came back. Her delight was not hidden and that made Hades grin.

“What makes you so joyful my lovely queen.”

“Having you back. I thought she’d never leave. But what was with the serious conversation?” She asked, caressing his cheek.

“Nothing that I would like to concern you about my love.”  Hades flashed a smile.

“Was it about her, Hades?” She asked again. Hades frowned for not being able to ignore the topic.

“Yes. Hecate thinks Iris did not let her have the kid.”

“So she lied to us?” Persephone’s lilac eyes widened.

“I am afraid that could be so.”  Hades closed his eyes.

“Hmm. Why would Iris separate a child from her mother?”

"Lady Hecate, could you come this way please.” Iris asked--her eyebrows knitted in breathless anxiety--seeing the Goddess of witchcraft. Hecate cocked an eyebrow in question. Yes she was here to see her but why was she asking her to come.

“Oh, I am sorry. My lady I happened to crossways with Thalia today and there I saw her kidnapping a child-”

“Kidnapping?” Hecate was stunned by this reference.

“Yes my lady,” Iris nodded.

“Tell me the entire thing Lady Iris.” Hecate’s voice rose a bit. Iris did not like it, she pressed her lips in a thin line.

“I am sorry, but could you tell me the entire thing?”

Iris nodded. “This way please.”

“So you are saying, a human called you and that human happens to be the oracle.” Hecate reconsidered her explanation. It was too much to be thought about. She had heard each detail carefully but didn't utter any truth about Thalia.

“Yes.” 

“Then where is she?”

“She… I don’t know, she ran out of the palace and I was trying to convince Zeus but he refused to bring a human between the prophecy for Gods.”

“Hmm, let’s wake her up first then.”  Hecate said and placed her hand above the sleeping child’s head. Green light emitted from below her palm as she began a spell but she was cut short.

“Stop!” An alarmed Hecate withdrew her hands immediately and turned to look for the source of this disturbance. The marvelous looking Sun God stood on one side of the temple, one hand reaching to stop her hand while the other wrapped around the wrist of a tiny human.

“Lady Hecate, please do not wake her up.” Lilith said in an urgent tone. Hecate stared at her and then to Apollo simultaneosly. She raised her eyebrow at Iris.

“Is she the...oracle?”

Iris nodded, looking at the floor. Hecate took two strides with her long legs and was right in front of Lilith. Lilith raised her face to feet the eyes of the stunning Goddess, her brows furrowed in worry.

Hecate took in the features of the tiny human and then stared at Apollo.

“You beleive her?”

“Why would not I belive her my lady when I am sure she isn’t lying. She had the mark as well.” He raised his head up high, standing proudly to be able to find an Oracle after eons.

“Hmm,” Hecate considered there words and then turned to Iris.

“You might want to tell Zeus to hold the coucil meeting. I shall inform my King and Queen.”

Iris nodded and Hecate vanished as green smoke evolved and envelpoed her slender built from head to toe. Iris sighed, staring at the adorable sleeping child.

“Why shall we not wake her up?”  

“Its not time yet.”
