Back  to  the  underworld,  Hades said  goodbye  to  Zeus and  let the God king go to the lower levels of  the underworld as that was the reason he even came to here.  After  Zeus  had left Hades couldn't  help but think of why Zeus had lost his arms, when  they  were talking earlier it  seemed  as though his arms were perfectly fine but Hades was aware that they were nothing more than constructs that were overlaid with  an illusion. The  fact that Zeus was able to  hold a glass without breaking it is a testament to his control over lightning.

"well  whatever it doesn't, matter. If it's  a  civil war I'll stay neutral"

He voiced as he  walked on the dimly lit corridor of his castle,  the  souls that lit up  his castle  were like a river stream  rather than individual light bulbs, the souls from the  lowered levels, like level two, have  to  pass through his castle before they  ascend to  other level and  the same is true for souls that had recently died. Level one is where the good people go and level two is where the normal people with a balance evil/ good ratio and level three and four is where criminals and evil people go, however once a soul has endured the punishment they can slowly ascend level until they arrive at level 2 and then get reincarnated, no soul from level 3 and 4 can enter level 1, it is because of this descent and ascent that keeps Hades' castle dimly lit, of course there are areas where it's well lit  but the castle overall has dim lighting.

As Hades walked The long corridor of his castle he couldn't help but hear the melodic and beautiful laughter of his wife, quite possibly laughing at something Hestia has said. His eldest sister hasn't left his home ever since she came with Aphrodite, while he does appreciate the visit it is getting annoying, although  Persephone seems to be enjoying the company so  at very least he'll have to stomach it until she gets sick of Hestia. He was able to quickly make it to the room the two were in and entering he found Hestia with her hair on  the upper part of her lip acting as a fake moustache

" I AM ZEUS, KING OF OLYMPUS THE GREAT GOD KING, OH LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL STALLION, I'M GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH IT"

Persephone laughed at the accurate impression of Zeus, although Hestia's voice was a bit too high pitched to sound anywhere near the same as Zeus that was irrelevant. Seeing the scene Hades couldn't help but crack as smile, unfortunately he wasn't that skilled at telling jokes as such seeing such a smile on Persephone's face was enough to convince him to let Hestia stay longer. Never mind the fact that Hestia was making fun of her father.

"I AM HADES–"

"Alright that's enough"

He interrupted, now he wasn't about to let himself be the butt of the joke. His interruption caused Hestia to deflate and sit down with a pout on her face.

"is your talk with Father over?"

His wife asked while wiping a small tear from her eyes and leaned forward to grab a glass filled with water rather than wine.

"Yeah it's over, though you  might have to stay here a bit longer because it seems things are gonna get dangerous in Olympus"

"Why? What's happening?"

"it's the whole traitor thing, and from what I understand a civil war might be on  the rise"

He stated and took a seat right beside his wife, Hestia who heard his words placed her hand on her chin and  closed her eyes as she began to contemplate something.

"a civil war? But why?"

"I don't know the reason myself but apparently  Hera, Themis, Athena, Ares and  Hephaestus are plotting something against Olympus, Zeus has already captured Hera and Themis, hopefully this will be  resolved soon"
