In life, we come across different people at different times of our lives. How they once were can change quickly to who they are, but what causes something like that to happen? Take this journey into a modern telling of a forbidden love story between the Queen of Olympus, Hera, and the King of the Underworld, Hades. The love that they share will result in a life being born, but not an ordinary life. No, a life that was born from both Light and Darkness that shall overthrow a tyrant King and rule everything from the highest of the Heavens to the lowest of the Underworld. Can this child live up to the prophecy told about her, or will she crumble under the pressures of life and the secrets it holds?

Light & Darkness

Once they had started formulating a plan on how to first tell Hades that Helia knows he is her father, they worked on how they would be able to be with those they loved without people finding out for the time being. 


“What if we were to stay in the Underworld when we wanted to visit them?” Ares asked. 


“What good would that do other than draw suspicion?” questioned Aphrodite. 


It was Hera’s turn to speak as she began informing Aphrodite of what she knew. “Well, Hades has protection set up around the Underworld that keeps the eyes of Olympus from viewing what goes on down there. He installed it when Zeus had pissed him off one day….” 


“That’s no surprise,” Helia grumbled as she interrupted her mother. “Sorry, mama,” she apologized when her mother gave her a stern look, more so, for her interruption and not her statement. 


“Well, what would be the excuse to get us down there?” Ares wanted everything to work out in their favor and didn’t want anything to get in the way.
