Ergebnis für "Hades" in Horror

Ich bin von Zeus entführt, in Manhattan aufgegriffen und von der olympischen Gottheit halb zu Tode erschreckt worden. Jetzt werde ich in der Unterwelt gefangen gehalten und gezwungen, in einer Reihe von tödlichen Tribunalen um die Position der Königin der Unterwelt zu kämpfen. Das würde bedeuten, Hades heiraten zu müssen, den furchterregenden Gott des Todes. Wer zum Teufel möchte überhaupt einen Ehemann, geschweige denn einen, der aus Rauch geschaffen und von Tod durchsetzt ist?
