A GREEK WHO REEKS OF FALSE RIGHTEOUSNESS,

Erebos had called for Hades early that morning, and Hades had excitedly gotten up. Grabbing ahold of his most prized possession currently, the spine of the tiger he hadn't gotten the chance to show his father yet. His father had not said much on their trek to the willows, and Hades was beginning to think he had not made his father proud, but maybe Erebos was just waiting to say something when they got to their destination.

He recognized the Willows now, he had been here twice now. Once to explore, followed closely by Erebos's own bird. Then the second time to kill this very tiger with Redrum. He began to slow as his father did, ears tilting forward to perk up at him. He dropped the spine once his father stopped completely, "Πατέρας? Τι κάνουμε εδώ;" he asked as he tilted his head slightly at his dad, he wondered briefly if it was a test. But he assumed his siblings would be there too, right?

THAT'S WHAT I HATE!

♚ÉREBOS DUNAMIS

─
when he first laid eyes on hades, Érebos could not deny this puppy was his. Hades was the only one who truly mirrored the dunamis look, aside from androcles. both boys had been exceptionally large, as expected considering the males in their clan and linage proved to be consistently larger than most. however, hades specifically caught Érebos' eye-, the look of the child showing a promising identical clone in the making. after all, only this child shared his first name. however so, Érebos sought to teach his child better than he felt he was taught. sad to say this was not always a good thing.

finally they arrive at the whistling willows. the sun was far overhead and the skies were clear and so, he figured no better time than now to gift the boy after hearing such a victory. halting, he looked down at the bulky pup with proud eyes and a sudden gleeful smile. "Και τι είναι αυτό το αγόρι; Έχετε πάρει την πλάτη τους(And what's that boy? You've taken their back!)" he barked, smiling as he playfully nipped at his son. while affection was not an open thing within their clan, Érebos made efforts to keep his own father's saving habits alive. Cassius was both a loving strict father and a man with a dangerous temper when he was crossed. Érebos knew his boundaries with his own father, early on.

after some laughing, the patriarch sat then amongst his child, his eyes looking at them with secret arrogance. how proud he felt to see such a fine youth be born in his first litter. "I have a surprise for you." he spoke in English, deep voice drawling from his inky lips as his face returned to the stoic visage it usually held. "Come." he did not shout for them, knowing these trained birds knew to be near. and sure enough, two young birds of prey came swooping down with grace & speed. they came and flapped over the two wolves before coming to sit on each side of Érebos' bulky shoulders. "Now careful with them. They're young like you but they are just as fierce." he warned, tone stern and smooth with a delayed smile that came creeping up over his maw. a smirk as he side eyed hades with a playful look briefly washing over his features. "Give them names, and they will come to you. you will get use to the talons." he chuckled.
