I'm Not An Amateur, I'm The Savior

“Could you…. Go back above?”

She has never been able to leave the Underworld, the souls always dragging her back. “The Pantheon should be called, according to Charon. A meeting should be had and the loss of life discussed at Olympus. These were all worshippers of the others after all. Some of them are even your people. If something is going on in the Upperworld, it needs to be stopped.”

Her hand shifts to scrub at her tired eyes. She’s one of the few gods that craves sleep and it’s worse now that her work is literally taking all the energy she has.

Not many people worship Hades anymore. Since her reign began, she has had no offerings. She doesn’t expect them. She’s just doing what she’s meant to do whether people care or not. Emma won’t stop helping over petty reasons.

Hearing of debts had the god shaking his head dismissing that completly. Emma never owes him anything, never would be want it to be that way. The same for him now that his own contract was released.

“Emma, there’s no need. Truly.” He looked toward her, bobbing his head once for her reassurance. He listened to her, considering their options. He knew what had to be done though. He would talk to Zues, arrange the meeting they so desperately needed on the account that Hades herself is overwhelmed by the sea of dead souls with unfinished business. He knew what she spoke was true, that these people worshipped gods for their salvation and clearly that wasn’t happening.

“I’ll take my ship there straight away, love.” He could deliver this message for her without an issue. “And I will personally deliver the details to you, just in case.” he wondered if there was anything he could do before taking off again and once idea came to mind, considering families were still searching for what they lost in the transition of life to death. Poseidon began taking off one of his rings before handing it to Hades, placing it gently in her hand.

“I... Wow. Thank you. You are very very kind.”

She could almost blush right now at the very gesture.

Swallowing hard, Emma pulls a chain from around her throat and hooks the ring to it. It settles beside a small swan pendant that she kept close to her breast ever since she awoke in the Underworld.

From the recesses of her cloak, Emma pulls a red silken ribbon. She takes his wrist in her hand and ties the ribbon around it, her tongue sticking out in concentration.

“Here, so that your passage back here is easier. The waters will become too rough soon. Charon’s been bringing in so many people it’s upset the balance.”

Making sure that it won’t fall off, she waves her hand over it, causing it to glimmer with her own magic. “Just to keep you safe. You’ve proven to be a very useful ally.”

She gives him such a warm smile, it could bring things to life.

Emma quickly recovers, more so annoyed by herself for letting herself open to his attack. She peers at the pirate through the cross of their swords, and her eyes narrow as he asks her if she concedes.

“I’m not conceding until I get that purse and a bottle of your finest rum.” Emma replies with her own smirk, her sword shifting, hoping to twist his own out of his hand. Her magic sparks from her passion for the fight and it jolts along her blade, cracking at Killian’s.

She kicks her foot out, trying to trip him up.

To think she was just going to pickpocket a few fishermen today. It’s been a while since she’s had a good swordfight.

Appreciating her quick recovery from their earlier bout, a smirk curled onto his lips as she seemed irritated by his questioning and he shrugged with the confidence of a man who knew his skill with a sword. He had after all been wielding one for the last two centuries. “Suit yourself love, but prepare to find yourself bereft of either.”

He shifted his sword along with hers, darting back when the first sparks of magic began to dance along his blade, cautious of the wielding of such skills, his last encounter not forgotten. At her kick, he tutted, avoiding a stumble narrowly.

The magic part isn’t intentional, as she has no way of controlling it, but he doesn’t need to know that. So far it’s working in her favor as she tries to back him into a corner, or at least get him in the water. Emma has no intention of killing the man; she just wants to embarrass him a little bit and get some coin. It’s been awhile since she’s had a long meal and this is the only way she knows how to get one.

“Just a little while longer.”

“Can you come tuck me in?”

“Come on, I’ll tuck you in.”

“Did you sleep okay last night?”

“C’mon, read me something! Just like old times.”

“Is that my shirt?”

“Can we stay in tonight?”

“Will you stay with me?”

“Shh, it’s okay.”

“Go to sleep, go to sleep.”

“Hold my hand.”

“C’mere, it’s alright.”

“You’re fine.”

“You’re apart of the family.”

“Hug?”

“Gimme a kiss!”

“Can I snuggle with you?”

“Your breakfast is getting cold!”

“Tickle, tickle, tickle!”

“I got you something!”

“No, go back to sleep.”

“What are you smiling about?”

“He’s such a downer.”

“Here, I’ll zip you up.”

“Do you want me to read to you?”

“I know a lullaby. Think that’ll help you sleep?”

“Turn around!”

“Your tie is crooked.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Can we get a dog?”

“I love you.”

“Time for your bath.”

“You first.”

“Lemme wash your hair.”

“Stop squirming!”

“My turn!”

“Mind if I move a bit closer?”

“Can I stay the night?”

“Don’t you dare go outside without a coat.”

“They forgot to flush!”

“Come here!”

“Mom! They’re being mean!”

“Dad! They’re being mean!”

“Help! They’re being mean!”

“Think we can play a board game later?”

“Don’t be so mean to them, you understand me?”

“Watch your tone!”

“Here. I’ll do it for you. Give me the tie.”

“Don’t slam the door!”

“Eat your greens.”

“Stop playing with your food.”

“Your room looks like a cyclone ran through it.”

“Happy Birthday!”

“They sing like a goddamn crow.”

“Don’t sass me, young lady.”

“Don’t sass me, young man.”

“Don’t sass me, little one.”

“I don’t like kissing them.”

“I was gone for ten fucking minutes!”

“Read to me.”

“What is going on?”

“You’re crazy, but I like that.”

“Hey, watch out for them, okay?”

“I got the last slice of pizza. I’m gonna have to throw it up for you to get it.”

“We’re out of milk again!”

“Who wants a hearty breakfast?”

“Back in my day….”

“They’re my annoying younger sibling.”

i will put 1-112 into a random number generator. i left these up for the roleplayers to decide who does the action and who receives it, so have fun!

“I wont let anything happen to you.”

“Get behind me.”

“I would die for you.”

“I’ve got you.”

“I wont let them hurt you.”

“Tell me who hurt you.”

“Who did this to you? I’ll kill them!”

“I’m here for you, always.”

“Sit down, tell me what happened.”

“Take my hand, I got you.”

There’s no doubt it was always you.

From the first time i walked you home from school you stole my hear.

It was always you.

It hurts to see your pretty smile fade.

I know there’s nothing left for us to say but it’s okay.

It’s okay-

There’s no getting over you.

I tried my best to tell the truth but the missing is tearing me apart.

Forgetting is the hardest part.

The thought of losing you is all too much.

I’m a long, long way from home… From you.

I’ll be back some day.

We’ll do it all, everything.

We don’t need anything, or anyone.

If I lay here, If I just lay here… Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Those three words… Are said too much. They are not enough.

I don’t quite know how to say how I feel.

Would you lie with me, and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told, before we get too old.

I need your grace to read my needs, to find my own.

Your perfect eyes is all that I can see.

I’m sorry for hurting you.

I’ll be here to hold your hand.

If only I knew what I know today.

I would hold you in my arms, and take the pain away.

Thank you for all you’ve done.

There’s nothing I wanna do to hear your voice again.

Sometimes… I wanna call you, but I’m scared that you won’t be there.

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do.

I’ve hurt myself by hating you.

Some days I feel broken inside, but I just don’t want to admit it.

It’s so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this.

Would you tell that I was wrong?

Would you help me understand?

Are you proud of who I am?

If I had just one more day I would tell you how I’ve missed you since you’ve been away.

I’m sorry for blaming you.

Blame it all on me.

It was my fault – This wasn’t supposed to…happen.

Please forgive me.

I can’t stay… I really can’t –

I have come to talk with you again.

We need to talk…

Can we please just – Talk ?

I think we should… talk about… This – Us.

They know about us.

Oh come on – Look at us! Is this what we really want???

… I don’t think there’s anything left to say. 

Do you even know how to answer your phone?

I keep messaging you, but you never reply?

Never mind. It’s nothing. It never is. 

Can’t you just listen to me!?

I’m fine okay, can we drop this?

I’ve heard that you… Found… someone new?

There will always be things I can’t give you, things I can’t say – And I all I want… Is for you to be happy. 

It isn’t over – We are not over, yet.

I wish nothing but the best for you.

Don’t… Forget me – Please ?

I just want to forget everything about you. 

It hurts. It hurts so much – Don’t you understand!?

I can’t do this.

We can fix this.

We can’t fix this.

We could always…stop here and stay friends?

Are you sure that…we should – ? You know… do this?

I won’t ever find someone like you… You are special to me.

You are perfect.
