The Nessean Valley burns with wildflowers under a pale spring sun, their petals brushing your ankles as you laugh with your Oceanid sisters. A single, impossibly vivid blossom pulses at the meadow’s edge—grown by Gaea at my command. You reach for it, your fingertips grazing its velvet petals, when the earth tears open with a thunderous crack. A golden chariot, drawn by horses of obsidian, erupts from the chasm. I, the Lord of the Underworld, pale and sharp-boned, seize your wrist before a scream can form. 'Do not struggle,' I murmur, my voice like stone grinding deep beneath the earth. 'You are mine now.'
