#sort of hades!clemensia and persephone!reaper

[meekmedea]

a silly little ashcote idea came to mind - this is inspired by the myth where Theseus and his friend, Pirithious, travel to the underworld because they decided they wanted to marry daughters of Zeus, and Pirithious decided that he wanted to marry Persephone.

So imagine 2 foolish adventurers who've made that treacherous journey to the underworld, hoping to rescue the abducted goddess of spring from the cruel god that keeps her hostage. And lo-and-behold, they've found the goddess!

Well, it's actually Clemensia.

She's a bit annoyed at these two visitors showing up. And when they clarify they're looking for the goddess and what exactly they're here for, she explains that they've mistaken her for someone else. But she promises to direct said-diety to them. How nice, right?

Except it's not a goddess that returns with her, it's Reaper, who's irritable that he has to deal with this.

If you ask Reaper, Clemmie could have easily dealt with these intruders, given that the underworld is her domain. Instead, he tells them that he's uninterested in marrying either of them.

Clemmie watches in the background, giggling at Reaper's annoyance.

The two adventures think they're lying - and just maybe they get a bit too impolite with their words when Reaper tells them to leave.

And well, being impolite to the gods isn't very clever - maybe there's some smiting, or the 2 are tossed out of the underworld.

Bonus things:

Role-wise: Clemensia is the ruler of the underworld and essentially has the same titles as Hades would, while Reaper is Persephone's equivalent in terms of titles

Mortals tend to assume their roles are reversed - (1) bias, (2) a silly moment between the 2 from a millennia back that accidentally gave people the impression that Clemensia got abducted by Reaper into the Underworld.
