"That's all you ever do," Esele pointed out, raising one perfectly manicured eyebrow. She didn't really seem fazed by his attitude; girls had that kind of personality all the time. The goddess came to a stop in front of Eli.

Caro slowed down behind her, rolling his blue eyes because he knew his mother couldn't see his expression.

"Girl!" Eli shouted in anger, pulling at his blonde and brunette air as he sighed softly and stormed out of his study, the black doors banging against the marble hall walls. One hip jutted out and he rested his hands on his hips, glaring at her with an annoyed look. "I am trying to work!"

"ELIIIIII!~" It was just a normal day in the mortal world and also in the Underworld. But in a flash of dazzling light, Esele Thymes (known as Hera to the mortals) appeared in her husband's brother's lair. It was dark and did nothing to help her skin, but she'd ignore that for now. It was about time she paid Hades a visit. Since he wasn't allowed to leave the Underworld very often- due to her husband's temper- Esele thought it would be nice to go to him. Most of gods and goddesses didn't like him much anyways.

She didn't go down alone, however. Esele rarely went anywhere by herself. Normally, she had another goddess, like Aphrodite or Athena by her side, but today it was her son. Known as Ares to the mortal realm, Caro Thymes was the God of War and Hera's little baby-doll. Caro was relatively quiet, which was odd for a god. Most had big egos and even bigger mouths.

Caro did what his mother wanted, mostly because it would prove exhausting to even argue with her. His uncle Skye (Poseidon) always teased him about being a mama's boy. Caro didn't really give into verbal banter though. Being the God of War, he was more of a physical being, though he proved to be quite intelligent and calculative.

Esele walked briskly down Hades' hall, her heels tapping against the stone. She barked at Caro to keep up and, ever the dutiful son, he hurried along after her. His bright blue eyes flicked around, eyeing the occasional lost soul that wandered by.
