“I want blood, Hermes. I will fill rivers with it until he is found.” Theseus would soon discover that he had flown too close to the sun. Hermes grinned. “I like vengeful Sephy,” he said. “She’s scary.”
Mourning was not just about the person. It was about the world one created around them, and when they ceased to exist, so did that world.
The problem was that being herself meant being angry and unapologetic.
She wasn’t sure she’d ever been ready. Not just for this but for anything that had come her way, yet she’d survived. She would survive this too.
“I will murder you if you tell anyone what you have heard here.” “That is very aggressive, Daddy Death,” said Hermes. “Everyone listens to Apollo. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. He’s a vibe.”
“You bring it with you.” “That’s kidnapping.” “It’s not kidnapping if there is consent.” “The baby can’t consent!” There was a beat of silence, and then Naia said, “I really don’t understand how you lived this long.” “That makes two of us,” Dionysus snapped.
“If this is how I suffocate, I would gladly drown in your heat.”
“And I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t stop wondering—what is she riding if she isn’t on his cock?” “My face, Hermes,” Hades said. “She was riding my face.”
Persephone’s eyes grew brighter as she spoke, and she glared at Aphrodite and then Ariadne. Hades straightened, his slacks suddenly too tight. Fuck, his wife was hot.
“Why are your feet so huge?” Hermes asked. Then he met Dionysus’s gaze and raised a brow. “Is it true what they say about shoe size and dick size?” “I’m not sure what they say,” said Dionysus. “But I’d really rather not talk about my dick with you.”
Hermes inhaled between his teeth. “Oh, you must be in pain after that burn.” “I will show you pain, Hermes,” Ares threatened. “Is that a promise, battle daddy?” Hades sighed. “I am surrounded by idiots.” “Like attracts like,” said Hecate.
“It is not selfish to have a desire to be where you are loved, Persephone,”
She’d thought she would see a stranger, a shell of the person she had been in her previous life. Instead, she saw strength. She saw pride. She saw a woman who was queen.
