Zane wandered along the hall towards their room, his arms wrapped around his torso as he walked. He had a sad look on his face and a faraway look in his eyes as he wandered he had never had a premonition but he had one two days ago when he had last seen his twin, he had seen every possibility and hadn't stopped crying since. Zane curled up on Zivon's bed, he had to let Zivon go because if he didn't he'd loose him forever. Because no matter how much he wished to selfishly keep Zivon with him if he did, someone would taken away by someone else.

Zane sat up on the bed feeling Zivon approaching him. He plastered a fake smile on his face, a smile that he had invented to trick his twin so that he didn't know how much Zivon's leaving would be for him. He ran his hands through his hair making sure that it was sitting properly, he could not let his twin know or he would be alone forever without his twin. 

Zivon walked towards the room he shared with Zane. He was worried about having this conversation with his brother. Deep down he knew Zane needed him but he need to do this for himself and he felt for his parents. He was worried that he could control his powers enough and this was causing his father problems in the underworld. He was a war god after all, just like his mother but he mother had other duties and he didn't want to bother her with his concerns. He felt he should be able to learn the control himself. But he also knew his parents where right, better control would come with age. He had already talked to Ares and he had agreed to age him but Zivon felt he should explain to his twin first.

Zivon stopped outside the room to collect his feelings before he walked in, the smile on his face to small to be real. "Hey Zane", he said. He didn't even know how to start what he had to say to his brother.

"Hey." He said smiling brightly at him hoping that he didn't see the pain that he was so desperately trying to hide. He bounded off the bed and hugged Zivon tightly hanging on for a moment before letting him go and taking a step back.

"I though that you would still be with Ares?" He asked with a brittle smile. Despite that biologically he was Ares son he refused to visit or call him father, Pluto was the only father that Zane felt that he felt had or wanted because of what Ares had done to his mother and despite the fact that Ares had tried to make it up too him.

He hoped to forstall another argument about calling Ares father by going on before he had a chance to reply.  "Mother and Papa are thinking about taking a trip to Tartarus and staying for awhile and I said that I would accompany them, I know you hate staying in Hades so Papa and Mother said that it's alright if you stay here or with someone else." He said hoping that he didn't realize that he was lying through his teeth at him.

Zivon hugged his brother back. He sighed inwardly when Zane once again refused to call Ares there father but he decided not to bring it up to him. He didn't want to fight with him over it right now, not when there was likely going to be another fight between them when he told his brother what he had planned.

"I am guessing that a suitable other person wouldn't be father though", Zivon replied. He certainly didn't want to go to Tartarus though and if his plans went through he doubt his parents would be going anyway. They would be to busy scolding him over what he had done. "I know you don't want to call him father but that is what he is."

Zivon moved to sit on his bed and tapped the spot beside him for his brother to join him. "I need to talk to you about something important Zane but I need you to promise to not tell Mother or Papa", he replied. He knew that if Zane ran off to tell their parents once he had left his plans would be stopped and he would never get another chance to even talk to their father let alone actually see him.

Zane took a deep breath before taking a seat next to him. "Pluto is enough for me he was the one there when I needed to talk, or when I was sick." He tells him but his heart wasn't in the argument because he knew all too soon Zivon would be gone.

No matter how much he tried he just couldn't love Ares like a father, he had tried wanting to make Zivon happy he used to just feel nothing for him but after his vision of what was going to happen he hated Ares more than anything else in the word. He knew some hate should be placed on Zivon but he couldn't force himself to hate Zivon even though he was about break his heart.

He took a deep breath nit having to force the frown onto his face at Zivon's words. "Why do you need me to promise that?" He asked, wishing that he didn't already know the answer to the question he had asked. "I promise, you know that I won't tell if you ask me not too, no promise required."

Zivon sighed, "You know I love Pluto, I just....I just need fathers help", he replied. Zivon knew that Zane had taken more of Pluto's powers in the end but Zane's powers where closer to their mothers and true fathers, even if he did of some of Pluto's powers as well.

"I know that you wouldn't tell with something small but this isn't exactly that", Zivon replied. Even with Zane's promise Zivon was still not sure he should be telling him but it had felt wrong not to which was the only reason why he was here. "You know how Papa was telling us that control would only come with age with us?", he asked. "Well, I have been talking to Ares and he has agreed to age me. I want to do it to help Pluto but I know they will stop me if they know", Zivon replied to him.

"Ohh." He said unable to help the tears that filled his eyes as he looked away quickly hoping that his twin didn't see the tears that he finally forced down. He kept staring at the bed, thinking about how to do this properly, to not be too cavalier or too heartbroken. Because he was, his heart had broke the moment he said those words, he took a deep breath before making his face impassive as he looked at his twin the only person who would own his heart.

"Why?" He asked in a petulant tone of voice. "I don't want you too age, or if you do maybe he can age me too." He says knowing that Zivon would say no, he would wants Zane to grow up properly. "Why does it have to be him?" He asks again hoping that it didn't make him change his mind, he couldn't because no matter he pain he went through now it would be nothing compared to loosing him in the future and never having a chance at all to win Zivon's heart.

And it would hurt because of their connection whatever age Zivon became he would too just much more painfully and slowly.

Zivon sighed and looked at his brother, "you know my presence here causes unrest in the souls of the dead and I know that causes problems for papa. I don't want it to but I can't control my powers properly yet. No, I will not let him age you too, Zivon. Father has told me that ageing me shouldn't affect you and I want to keep it that way. I know papa has enjoyed raising us and I don't want to take that fully away from him", he replied honestly. "He has agreed to do it and I know mama and papa never will. I don't want it to be just anyone", Zivon continued. He didn't want to admit it but he was scared of doing this. He was scared of something going wrong which was why he wanted someone he trusted to do it. He would have preferred either Pluto or their mother but he knew in his heart they would never agree to it.

Zane bit his lip before standing up and pacing back and forth in front of Zivon wanting to scream and yell about how much this would hurt him, not only to be apart but when he would be forced to age against his will all alone in the house in Tartarus so that his parent's wouldn't have to hear his screams of pain and his begging for death to claim him.

"I guess, if you feel that you have too." He tells him with a sad look climbing into his lap and hugging him tightly before pulling back. "I guess I'll spend all my time learning how to control my powers so when we...I mean you get back I can be in control like you." He says wishing that Zivon didn't notice the slip of tongue that Zane had because it would do no good for him to notice and not go.

"You are right Mommy and Papa would never let you age themselves and I guess if you want someone you know Ares is the right choice considering that he is biologically our parent and you have a strong emotional connection to him, though I don't know why." He muttered the last part under his breath hoping that he didn't start a fight between them again.

Zivon watched his brother pace and forced himself to stay seated when all he wanted to do was wrap him in his arms and promise him everything would be okay. He felt protective of his brother and it was another reason why he felt he had to do this. He wanted to know he could look after him.

When Zane climbed into his lap he wrapped his arms around him and held he close, "We can work on your powers when I get back", he mumbled into his brothers shoulders along with the words I love you which could not be understood.

Zivon heard his brothers words about their father, "I share more of his powers then you do Zane. I can connect to him even more then mum where as you can connect to Pluto more. Its neither of our faults, its just who we are."

"Okay." He tells him patting his head with a forced smile he really didn't want to let him go but he felt like he had no choice.

"Will you still wanna hang out with me if I'm still a kid and you're a teenager?" He asked with a sad look, twisting his hands around in his shirt, feeling bad about lying to him. He would look the same age at Zivon when he got back.

"Because if you don't want to spend time with me when you come back then I don't want you to go." He says with a pout knowing he was being a child but he couldn't help it, he didn't want Zivon to leave because he didn't want the pain to start.

"Of course I will want to still spend time with you, Zane. Your my brother and me aging wont change that. I will still be here to help you and protect you", he replied, ruffling his brothers hair. He didn't want to leave his brother here like this but he knew he really needed to get going. He knew if he didn't do it he would chicken out of it or one of his parents would find them talking about it and he would never get the chance again.

Zivon pulled his brother into another tight hug before letting him go. "I should get back to Ares before Mama or Papa find out what we are talking about", he said. He waited for this brother to hope of his lap before heading to the door. "Remember I love you Zane and I will be back", he continued before quickly walking out the door.

Zane whimpered when he heard the door shut behind Zivon. He threw himself down on the bed and started to sob, he already missed Zivon but he knew that it was going to get worse and worse before it got better.

He whimpered when he felt pain start, it wasn't too bad just a little niggle like a headache or sore muscles after working out. He wanted to stay there and sob but he couldn't stay here or mummy and papa would hear him screaming when the pain got too bad be had to leave now. He slowly pulled himself up packing a small bag he disappeared from his room leaving a small not for their parents on the bed feeling horrible about not telling them face to face but he couldn't or else he wouldn't want to leave.

He appeared in the shall shack in Tartarus which would be his home fore the next 5 or so weeks when the transformation was taking place. He curled up in the bed before giving into his tears and sobbing into his pillow inn sadness and pain.

Pluto walked towards his sons room, having time to be able to sit and talk to them. He opened the door and frowned slightly when he couldn't see them and was about to leave when he saw the note on the bed. He walked into the room and picked the note up, he instantly recognized his sons hand writing and started to read the note meant for Ellie and him. About half way through he started pacing and called out to Ellie to join him. By the time he was finished he wanted to kill Ares for putting these lies into his sons head, but he knew part of the blame should go to Zivon for believing them. He worried about Zane though and wished he had got there soon enough to stop his son from leaving. He may have been able to help him. He didn't know how he could but he would have done everything in his power to try and stop at least some of his sons pain.

Ellie appeared in the room after Pluto called to her. "What happened? What's wrong where are the boys?" She asked rapidly looking around the room in search of them. Seeing the paper in Pluto's hand she took it reading through it getting angrier and angrier. "That ass." She growled biting back the other words that she wanted to call Ares. "What can we do before the kids get hurt?" She asked deferring to Pluto who had more experience with this then she did, she wanted to go searching all around for the boys she wanted them safe and sound and back in her arms where they belonged.
