"When there's nowhere else to run,
Is there room for one more son?
If you can hold on, hold on.
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go.
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't.
I wanna shine on in the hearts of man.
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.
Another head aches, another heart breaks.
I am so much older than I can take.
And my affection, well it comes and goes.
I need direction to perfection, no no no no.
Yeah, you know you got to help me out.
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner.
I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier,
I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier.
Over and in, last call for sin.
While everyone's lost, the battle is won.
With all these things that I've done."
- All these things that I've done; The Killers.

Hades spent his youth convinced that he and his sister were unneeded. They already had Lucifer and Athena, both powerful and imposing. He hadn't been born for a purpose, but rather because his father had been bored and felt like teasing his mother.
In conjunction with this unhappy perception came a gripping and overwhelming sense of isolation. No one spoke against him, no. No one dared tease the boy, the son of their god. But Hades grew to recognize the looks they'd send. Disgust? Confusion? He could never quite tell, but he knew the look was not positive. And it's source? His skin, oddly enough. His older sister was white, pale, but acceptable. His older brother, a brown not uncommon in normal skin tones. His twin? She was more normal then any of them. But he himself? It was hard to get past someone when all you can see is purple skin.
But this was not all, no. From his mother he inherited a severe claustrophobia. The caves he lived in, so lovingly crafted by his father, were nothing more then a weight on Hades' chest, hindering his breathing and making his mind swim. He could hardly stand it, and whenever able, he would flee to Kamui, the land of mortals, and of the Oina. The supposed enemy.

On one such visit, he was unlucky enough to pounce on something that was most certainly not prey. Angel, hiding from his lessons with Spector, had the misfortune meeting Hades.
Perhaps he would find friendship in Wep'keer. In a boy who, like him, followed in the footsteps of stronger siblings, and the expectations of the gods.
