( STYX KRONIŌN )

UNKNOWN DATE

"styx, dearest little styx" heracles yelled throughout the underworld as he wandered the deserted space the girl would usually settle on. the 6,3 boy stood amongst most as his dirty blonde locks reached just past his shoulder. his smirk made him look somewhat like a fox nyx thought to herself in her quietest of moments.

"what do you want you pungent idiot" she spat as she arose from her spot on her ground, the flames surrounding her suddenly letting out as she unclenched her fists.

heracles and styx could be considered friends in is eyes, but to the looks of outsiders the two were the farthest thing from it. she despised him and everything he came from, but he didn't have a reason to hate the girl. so let her hate him for as long as she needed. it was a sort of unrequited platonic love, some would say. he felt a sort of protectiveness over the girl who could kill him within the blink of an eye. she had tried to before, but his father would not let him rest in his grave for longer than five minutes. the first time she had killed him, zeus was outraged and tried to banish the girl for eternity but heracles had convinced him otherwise.

the knee- length satin black dress the girl wore was covered in dust and what most guessed to be blood at the ends, as heracles golden belt clasped around her waist. he had dropped it once when visiting and the girl decided to keep it, as she thought it suited her. the boy never complained, so she thought he never noticed.

"like to take a trip to the land of the living?" he asked as he threw a heavy arm around her shoulder, which was soon but not unexpectedly pushed off. the look on his face though never vanishing .

"for what purpose would i attend?" she questioned, slightly intrigued to escape the only hell she had known growing up. the scenery was getting boring anyway.

"because i don't want my favourite demon getting bored without me" the fear that crossed his eyes when he called her a demon was one that could've been painted a thousand different times, from different points of views.

"ok" she muttered before snapping her fingers and making all of her belongings ( not a lot) around them disappear. the girl let her black void eyes take over her features, instead of the shining emerald she held whenever casting magic.

"spectacular!" the demi- god shouted in glee before sticking his hand out for the girl to take, knowing she'd teleport them. he didn't see it as necessary to tell her of all the things they were going for, only glad she had accepted.
