As Ricky walked amongst the 11 gods on the royal courtyard in Washington, DC taking royal steps, he looked around wandering where he could be. The buildings were monumental and tall but small to the gods. It was like looking at a mini design of a busy never-ending city. The gods were taller than the Washington Monument. Zeus was sitting on his throne in the White House waiting for Hades, God of the Underworld, or death, to speak his mind. There were two royal courts, the People (government) and the Gods. The People and other common folk were rebelling against the gods.
"The people are our servants, and they must be taught a lesson," Hades said with pure terror in his eyes. He began to fade into smoke until Zeus demanded he not do that up here.
"The Underworld is your place to commit smoke realms. Please refrain from committing such acts abroad Olympus."
I, Hades , was I Hades? Ricky looked at his hands, they were burning fire until they ceased after Zeus's warning. I looked around again and pinched myself to determine if it was real. It hurt so it must be true. I was speaking but not of my own free will. I was in a body that I had no control over. I was the third wheel used as an observatory component. I was literally a mannequin, a mute in disguise that happened to be placed in Hades body.
"I suspect that the people are turning away from us and this gives us less authority. I want to give back to benefit us(Gods) all. I just want to teach them a small lesson not to betray their gods. Let me in just this once to demonstrate how powerful our beliefs are worth."
"I ask that everyone give us a moment alone," Zeus demanded as he began to inch out of his throne left hand pushing up on the throne while gazing toward Hades who was in center court. "Brother, if you do this, you must not kill anyone, but only as a scare tactic to bring them back into our godly realm. For this effort, I shall reward you after the people have come back to worship us," he spoke with passion veering his eyes to his left and right to make sure no one heard his conversation.
"Very well, I have your blessing. You will not be disappointed." Hades had a smile wider than the Nile River. It was his time to shine.
Ricky was dreaming heavily in his padded room with his mind watching Hades every move. When Hades moved his left foot, he felt it, and then the right foot followed. Hades seemed to not have a heartbeat because nothing was pumping blood. Hades had not vital organs so he did not have to eat or drink real food, Ashodels was his choice of delight in the Underworld, the only spirit food available.
There were no restroom breaks, but wait a minute; Hades didn't have a restroom where he resided. Ricky slowly released something wet in his padded room. I cannot even bear to stand the smell. It was a stench none like no other smell on earth. Ricky's pants were drenched in urine that stuck to his skin retaining its wetness from the huge blanket that kept him warm. Hmmmm, was Hades using the restroom? Ricky turned to his left side trying to determine if he jumped in a lake with Hades. The feeling was undetectable in his sleep.
Hades summoned his chariot and went back to the Underworld to plan his next move. His chariot with four black vicious horses appeared from the Underworld when the ground opened up as he jumped into the chariot and bided his brother Zeus farewell until the mission was done. The gate to the Underworld was automatic for Hades, but others could not get there so easily. He sped by the boat where spirits would crossover and zoomed his way through turning into a whimsical smoke cloud as he met his front door. His guards were standing by as if they knew the protocol when their leader passed by. They saluted Hades with wandering yet daring eyes. Their eyes were bloodshot red.
Ricky was riding in the chariot pretending not to be afraid, but was losing his mind because he was turning into smoke and his limbs weren't visible. It was something he'd never experience in real life. This dream was getting the best of him. He got from his padded bench and began sleep walking in his cell only to walk about 15 steps before bumping into the other padded bench. He fell to his knees then on his right side, and his arm caught his fall while still sleeping on the half clean plush floor. In his condition everything was padded to keep them from injuring themselves. He was lucky because he almost banged his head an inch from the bench which would have awakened him.
Hades met Persephone only for a second as she hugged him and gave him praise for his upcoming task. She was in love with Hades and Ricky rather enjoyed the hug and kiss. Ricky felt everything that Hades felt and then some. Hades gathered his spells and went toward the earth's surface in North America, South America, Canada, and the Caribbean to turn their hate into gregarious love for the gods. The first spell created multiple Hades spirits across the continents. Ricky felt like a king taking on this task not knowing what was next. Ricky farted at the excitement that was about to happen. The odor was death defying if one entered the padded cell. Ricky smiled with great intentions.
Hades spirits spread fear then turned the people upside down while their brains were drowning in their own blood. Then Hades remembered to not kill anyone when he was having so much fun. He turned them all right-side-up and ceased the spell. "I warn all of you to change hearts and rebel, repent to the gods for we are your saviors. Those who oppose us will feel my wrath. Go forth and spread the word or thee shall parish for thy indiscretions." Hades laughed insanely on the inside and Ricky followed his thoughts. Ricky was shaking on the ground but for only a second as the sound of Hades voice was vibrating through his limbs.
Hades second spell caused them to turn against each other committing arguments with marriages, children repelled against their parents, and animals were talking to people as if they were peasants. That worked out well, Hades thought. The last spell created a swarm of centipedes all across the continents. All this happened simultaneously for about 30 minutes to an hour scaring the living crap out of the people.
"I again say to you repent and offer your souls to the gods. We shall take you in our realms again for your sacrifices. These spells will come to pass only if you say out loud; I repent and will obey the gods." The people one-by-one then groups said the phrase out loud and bowed to Hades. Hades took the spells away and applauded their efforts, but he was literally laughing in devilish tone which Ricky felt and he started laughing out loud in his cell. The laughing continued for about 2 minutes. The guard rushed into his cell, curious of the sound and fainted at the smell of urine and toxic waste on the floor that was near Ricky's lower region.
