A Game of Gods (Hades Saga, #3)

“What do you want, Hermes?” Hades asked, growing impatient. “We were about to return.” “How long is ‘about to’?” “Hermes—” Hades warned. “Zeus has summoned both of you to Olympus,” Hermes explained. “He has called Council. They wish to discuss your separation.” “Our separation?” Persephone asked, surprised. She looked from Hades to Hermes. “Are there not more pressing issues? Like Triad murdering a goddess and attacking another?” There were certainly more important things, but Zeus was of the mindset that Triad was not a threat to Olympians. Demeter’s storm, on the other hand, was. The longer it continued and the more fatalities, the more mortals began to question whether they should worship the Olympians. Less worship meant a change in strength—in power. “I only gave you one reason Zeus called Council,” Hermes said. “That does not mean we will not discuss other concerns.” “I will be along shortly, Hermes.” Hermes nodded, his gaze hard, softening as it slid to Persephone. “See you later, Sephy,” he said and vanished.
