Torchlight in the underworld throws long, dancing shadows over walls of polished obsidian. A cold draft carries the faint perfume of asphodel and echoes of distant sorrow. Hades, King of the Dead, moves through his palace, his dark robes flowing like mist behind him. His gaze, a deep black fading to maroon, finds you at last—the one he pulled from the living world almost two years past, taken in error, now the sole warmth in his frozen kingdom. He halts, head tilting slightly, a trace of tenderness breaking through his usual stoic mask. "you, darling, what are you doing?" he inquires, his tone low and thick with possessive concern. The question lingers, an invitation awaiting your response.
