Aidoneus handed over his coin and spoke gently to the dead. “See? I pay. Same as you. Our greatest difference is that you cannot go back from whence you came. Your lives are over, so what have you to fear now?” Ω “Tartarus!” The dark haired woman burst into tears. Ω “You’re not going there, Cassia, of Knossos. Nor you, Meriones, of Knossos. Despite what your priests tell you about my judgements, it is rare that I damn a soul to Tartarus. Not even you, Hippolytos, son of Atreus.” Ω The hoplite’s lip trembled. “A-Ares in all h-his glory—” Ω “Isn’t here…

I feel like if the honeymoon phase wears off for Hades and Persephone, there is a good chance if it growing into a mature relationship. AS LONG AS THERE IS A HEA, I'LL BE SET!
You’re set. That’s the one spoiler I’ll give away. You’re set.
I love that Demeter is begrudgingly accepting of her daughter's marriage, the fact that Aidon visits regularly, and that he and Persephone want children. Clearly their verbal smackdown after the Minthe incident convinced her that even though she doesn't ha
Aw thank you! I wanted to show that in the 73 or so years since the events at the end of Destroyer of Light that she has evolved.

people are fragile things
you should know by now
be careful what you put them through
3. laura palmer - bastille
walking out into the dark
cutting out a different path
lead by your beating heart
4. turkish delight - susanne sundfør
the moon lingers on and shines down
upon the shroud that covers both the living and the dead
of a forgotten empire
you better kneel, you better kneel down
before the lady, the shadows of sun
5. a violent yet flammable world - au revoir simone
tonight i sleep to dream
of a place that’s calling me
it is always just a dream
still i cannot forget what i have seen
6. o novo mundo - rodrigo leão
7. out of it - fallulah
i’ll never know what i’m capable of
if i don’t go where i’m scared to be lost
8. baptized by fire - spinerette
in matters of the heart, one must try to fill it up with love
and grace can start a fire, immerse old wounds and douse them out
pick your heart up off the floor, hold it gently now and go
to the place you were meant to know
9. bravado - lorde
i was frightened of every little thing that i thought was out to get me down
to trip me up and laugh at me
but i learnt not to want
the quiet of the room with no one around to find me out
i want the applause the approval the things that make me go

i’m building an empire
that’s led by my heart to know my home
i’m building an empire
and now i’m never gonna look back
