Olympus. He started writing a mandate that stated:"Today, on the holly day of Kronia, King (God) Pluto of the underworld is called at the high court of justice for disobeying his own people and the ancient traditions of Gods". This letter was sent to Pluto by Mercury, which flew even faster than light just to be sure that Zeus would not get even more upset.Pluto, who was pleased to see a letter form his dear brother, started laughing while reading the message, then he reply more for himself than for Hermes:" Well, let 's go let 's have some fun, my lovely little brother misses me" and he laugh again …show more content…
