Hades Skulls Novels & Stories

Cassini I lay back on the lounge chair in the shade while looking over the pool. We were on the top of a hill, so the city of Florence could be seen past the property a few miles into the distance. I read a book on my lap while I relaxed in my swimsuit, enjoying the summer heat while my cold drink perspired. Every few pages, my mind would start to wander. Wander to the man I met a few nights ago. He didn’t have a name, and his business card was even more unusual. The only detail was the sketch of a black skull. It was fossilized bone with a snake protruding out of the eye socket. I googled anything related to skulls online but couldn’t find anything relevant.

Hades said to his son as the flames on his head turned blue. “What are you going to do about it dad?” Zagreus asked, stomping on a red frog. “Leave that to me.” Hades said, climbing up on a giant stone. “Whatever you say.” Zagreus said gobbling up the frog. Hades stretches out both of his arms mid-way in the air, with his eyes turned deep red, and the flame on his head turned from blue to red. A great noise of thunderstorm and lightning Hits the dead beings and flowers.

Not that Hades would have spared him had he showed any bravado, but at least, he would have admired his spunk as he killed him. Hades stood tall in his primal form, his body a mix of wolf and man, his claws long and his canines sharp. He was grotesque, and powerful and the brown fur covering his body trembled in lust. He wanted to kill this pathetic being and be done with it... but it would be boring, so boring.

The chamber smelled like flowers and it all opposed the nature of this place. Her heart thundered when Hades came stepping out from somewhere. Unlike what he wore the last time they talked, he was just wearing a thin shirt and pants. He almost looked like someone she would normally see on the street. Almost. Because when she looked closer, she almost yelped when she saw two protruding horns from his head. They were just small--as though they had just been recently retracted from their full glory. Hades seemed to notice her looking at his horns that she heard him let out a chuckle.

Poseidon only brought it up once when we all sorted through what positions we would have in the Celestial Kingdom. The group walked in the circle of the glass box that held Kronos. Inside, black sludge coated the glass, inching its way to the bottom. It looked like a giant explosion of tar coated the walls. Hades and Ares cupped their hands to look inside, only growling in disgust as they stepped away.

Instead, he took someone else. A skinned, tall man was hanging out of the window of the second villa of De Morte Villas with his head hooked to a hook. The blood oozed out of his head and chest, which had been stabbed with a knife. "It’s Host Hook," one of his male students said out loud. Aaron looked at his uniform and the face to confirm that the person was Zirconius Wooferhook. One of his hotel’s employees cried, "It must be the wrath of the merchant."

If a second cave-in occurred, this time, they may not be lucky. Ian thrust an evidence bag through the opening for Hal. “Hal, please get the head of the creature, will you? We’ll need it as proof.” Hal grimaced but took the bag. He then left the passage in search of the body. Aria watched him leave, and her first thought was to go after him. Hal came back with the head. He’d included its hat, though Aria thought that was now part of its filthy hair. They didn’t pull all the debris down. The group had a large hole big enough to pass through the backpacks and evidence.

-You look like shit,- Hades sketched. The wolf's long red hair was discolored and lacking its natural shine. Like his counterpart, he had dark circles and he looked tired, yet he still did not lose a hint of magnificence and his humor did not disappear. -You're not left behind either,- Layan replied, shaking her head up and down. Nebraska snorted, there they started again. -Well, I'm curious why my name came up between you when you were so disgustingly romantic- -You're dying of jealousy,- Hades challenged him, his mood was now also in good shape.

It was a skull that looked exactly like a human, but it was hundreds of times larger, like a house. “F*ck!” Seeing such a thing, everyone was stunned. Even Aesop from the demon tribe trembled in fear. When Nora saw the skull, she even prostrated on the ground and shouted, “Welcome the king!” However, the colossal skull did not squeeze out, as if the opened Undead Gate was not large enough. After taking a glance at everyone present, it retreated again. Jade called out, “We can’t let that thing come out, or else the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Hades didn’t speak, he simply shifted. His human form looked like any businessman you would see walking down the street. He’s got pale skin, and he’s tall with short sandy blonde hair, styled nicely. A black suit with a red tie. All he’s missing is a brief case to complete the look. His red eyes scan the room no doubt sizing up everyone here. Hades is not known for his authenticity. I wouldn’t put it past him to try to cause some type of trouble during the time that he is here. Zeus spoke, and the room fell back into meeting mode.
