EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLDDDDD

A GREEK WHO REEKS OF FALSE RIGHTEOUSNESS,

Hades was quick to turn to the sound of his uncle approaching, flicking his ears towards him in acknowledgment as he chuffed at him. Then Atticus spoke ahead of him. And the boy puffed out in chest in response, no embarrassment behind the words he spoke. Why be embarrassed by something that only made you stronger? better? He walked a few paces closer to his uncle moving to stand behind him.

"I will listen to every lesson you speak Uncle!" his voice rasped out, already showing the clear signs of a Greek accent gracing it. "I am keen on showing Father that I will uphold our family's status and not disgrace him!" The resolve that shook through the pup's voice was absolute, it bordered on overconfidence but to Hades he truly meant it. His words were not spewed with false promises, he needed to show his father how strong he could become. He yearned to be someone his dad was proud of.

And then he turned his slightly larger-than-average pup body towards Atticus, right now the clearest sign that he would someday tower over him was his far too large paws. "Please Uncle, show me how to navigate these lands." The request to be taught lingered in the air, and then Hades was off again. Knowing his uncle would not stray far from him, and would more than likely explain ways to not become lost on the way.

His head stayed low to the ground as he sought to memorize every smell inside the land, noting each difference, each bump along the way. The way the ground curved and flattened, where the bunnies and wildlife seemed to trudge through. He would make his father proud!

THAT'S WHAT I HATE!
