Beside him walked a short woman with dark skin in a pink dress. She was his foil: pretty and delicate. A small laurel crown sat atop her curly blond hair—signaling she was an Olympian heiress—and a dog-sized dragon was perched on her golden-tan shoulder with its tail wrapped around her neck. Heiresses were super rare and highly sought-after because of all the Spartan fertility issues. As the woman stood on her tiptoes, whispering, his expression softened, and he wrapped his arm around her protectively. Hades and Persephone. Their love was legendary.
