The love of gods (rosita red and lila lupin)

Dysis was grateful that Dionysus hadn't fought her on this like he had so many times before. He didn't enjoy the idea of leaving her alone, but rule were rules. "Come in." Dysis called out as she sat up in her bed. She smiled when someone she thought was her friend, Aradelle, walked into her room. With a tray of food, and drink in hand. "Good morning, Aradelle." She said with a smile.

"Good morning, Lady Dysis." Emesia replied. She knew that Aradelle was always formal until instructed otherwise. She gently placed the tray of food, and the water, which she had emptied the contents of the vial into, on Dysis' lap.

"Now Aradelle, you know I prefer it when you just call me Dysis." She said with a smile as she gestured for her to stay in the room.

Emesia was glad to sit in the room with Dysis, if only to ensure that the water was consumed. She politely refused any food or drink, because she hadn't been made fully aware as to what kind of effects the contents of the vial would have on the consumer.
 
Hades couldn't help but smirk as he sat in his throne room. He had concocted the potion himself, and tested it out on a couple of the still breathing servants in the palace to make sure it works. Of course they couldn't die without his say so, but it was a still a good trial run. Of course he had also made up an antidote for the potion. It would put Dysis into a deep sleep, which would lead to death like symptoms within twenty four hours of ingestion. She wouldn't die, just be stuck in that state until he gets what he wants.
 
Emesia smiled as she continued to carry on idle conversation with Dysis, and pretend to be her friend. She would most certainly be glad once all of this was over. She continued to watch as Dysis eat and drank, completely unaware that she had been given something. Emesia then cleared everything out of the room and took it to be cleaned after Dysis was finished. Emesia was certain to return herself to the underworld before the real Aradelle returned to the estate. It was too late for them to do anything anyways, even if they did figure out what had happened.

Dysis had continued through her day as normal, completely unaware of Hades plan to snatch her away right out from Dionysus' nose. That night though she seemed to have fallen asleep sooner than usual. The drug was already taking effect.
 
Aradelle thinks it's odd that her mistress had retired before she had come to help her get ready before bed. A quick survey of the other servants that could have helped Dysis reveal that none had been into the Lady's room. She knocked first before calling out Dysis' name. Cautiously she entered her lady's chambers. Goosebumps rose on her arms as she headed towards Dysis' bedroom.

The prickly feeling just got worse as she spotted Dysis laying on the bed still fully dressed, right down to her sandals. "Lady Dysis?" Lightly the servant girl shuck her. Alarm raced through her as Dysis' didn't stir. After a couple more tries Aradelle raced from the room to find Lord Marcos and Dion.
 
(Aradelle was a blonde that looked very similar to Emesia's facial structure.)

Lord Marcos seemed a bit shocked as Aradelle ran into the room where he and Lord Dion were talking. He was severely alarmed though when he saw the look on Aradelle's face. "Ardelle, what on earth has you so shaken. You look as though you've just seen a ghost." He said as he put a calming hand on the young woman's shoulder.

"Lord Marcos, Lord Dion! Something's wrong with Lady Dysis! I tried to wake her and she didn't even stir! She's pale and her hands are cold," Aradelle reports in a hurry.

Dionysus felt his stomach drop in dread. He knows exactly why Dysis isn't waking and knows there's nothing he can do to fix it himself. The ball is now in Hades court. "Take us to her," the wine god commands as he rises from his folding stool.
