' Lord Hades. I am sure you are already aware of the recent move of the Council of Angels, and know the problems this will surely cause. They will not stop with us, and may very well march here next. Even if you are left alone for now, the other pantheons will be attacked - and with each attack, the Council takes more souls for their armies. They have proven they are willing to violate the existing laws - even the ones forbidding inter-pantheon wars, I'm sure.'
You pause, looking for a reaction. Hades seems slightly frustrated, but it's impossible to tell if he's angry at you or someone else.
' I am reassembling the Bureaucracy, and I need all the help I can get. The Valkyries st-' you start, but Hades waves you silent. He takes his time before answering.
' You wish for an alliance of sorts, then? Heh... I have talked to Zeus about the threat of the Council already. My brother does not want to attack.' Hades rolls his eyes. ' I do not lead us. But do continue.'
You do as asked. ' I was hoping you could help me find someone. Someone who could, perhaps, if somekind of alliance is made, act as an intermediary between us. I need to find Charon.'
' Ah, yes... he is still here, as always. He never did visit the Bureaucracy realm much. But I need you to do something first - I need you to convince Zeus to war. The others will do what he says, atleast mostly. Do you accept?'
You have no idea how to convince Zeus himself, but getting the Greeks to fight the Council would surely be worth the effort. It would probably be best to first get some of the other Olympians in support of the war, mainly Poseidon.
Of course, you could just get out of there and find someone else, or try to recruit Charon right away, risking Hades's wrath.
