She tell them she not object they fight over, she queen of underworld. Do they know what she want? Zeus say she wants b free of Hades. She want go home to NY, apartment, friends, work. They agree she’ll spend 1/2 yr in mortal world, 1/2 yr in underworld. Zeus leave, she

The personal things he never wanted her know, his darkness. He wasn’t sure he could forgive himself, why he had do this for her. He owed her for saving him in so many ways.

She put hand against his cheek, say her poor lost Hades, puts all love, compassion

strong & knows Zeus used her powers to usher in spring. She knew who she was, felt more alive than ever before. She understands more as a goddess than human. Understand why Hades did what did, still think it’s wrong but understand. She felt Hades pain, desperation to keep her, pain & loneliness til found her. Felt bitterness, injustice of 1 person could make his life bearable being kept from him & now forgive him.

Persephone kneel at his feet, attach chain to her collar. Found other ways hurt her by suspend her in rope for hours, getting in her head cause fear. He took out everyone’s mistakes on her. She know he being lenient to her as she see him punish others. Someone tell Hades there’s problem he need see. When he gone Nick bring her jar liquid, say from Zeus it’s her powers & needs drink it now. She drink it & feels

give her that again. She go to him, she on top, he want her look at him while have sex. If he had no feelings why he want b so intimate? He say come for him, the monster who destroyed man she loved. When done, he didn’t cuddle her or stroke her hair like used to. He got up, got dressed, tell her he’s never coming back, she need please him (monster) now. Underworld felt cold now, nothing but fear there.In ballroom

had been happy w/Hades. Zeus who she never met just want control her. Servant clean up & bandages her whip wounds, now she supposed go to bedroom. He’d told her wear dress she wore to 1st party. Hurt to wear cuz brought back memory of her call for him, he immediately came & took care of her. She know he won’t ever do that again. She didn’t realize how protected & comforted she was w/him til now when he can’t

him so she screams, cry. He wants watch her suffer, bleed forever. She see she lost him, he nothing like he was. If she’d lost him & had deal w/monster now, she just want escape. When he grab her arm she unbelievably still feel comfort from his touch. He carry her upstairs to play room, tie her to table, whips her, she feel numb, feel blood drip down back. She’d wished Zeus would’ve just left her alone, she

laughs, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t need her approval or love. Want her scream pretty for him. Nick come say Zeus ended winter, want meet w/him talk about release Persephone. Hades say Zeus lost, Persephone isn’t going anywhere. Nick tell him not hurt her cuz he’ll regret it. Hades would if other self came back but there no going back from destroying 100 souls. He wants f her, hurt her, make her terrified of

b like when he comes down, he’s changed & doesn’t know if he’ll b able change back. When he came, it wasn’t him, it was huge demon all black reptilian skin, eyes glow red, long talons, horns. She realize large marble statue of monster at party that men made her ride his large penis is him. Hades ask if his true form bothers her? He destroy 100 souls, do more if has to. She tell him won’t forgive him, he

on her face. Tell guard put her in cage, he’ll deal with/her when he done. She runs but guard pick her up, carry her to dungeon, put her in cage, lock door. Why is Hades doing this? Is this her punishment? She hasn’t been able stop crying, there’s no way he can come back from this. Female servant bring her food, tell her basics of Hades/Zeus r doing. Servant tell her b brave cuz she doesn’t know what he’ll

into ballroom & she follow. Guard try stop her but she go anyway. All the souls frozen like magic held. Hades hand on man, glowing orange, man screams & incinerate. She gasps, can’t believe what he’s doing, Hades tell servant bring him another soul but voice very deep, animal like. He has look revulsion on his face, she tell him not do this, he say he has to & more he does, he won’t care about look of disgust

this is exactly reason why didn’t want tell him cuz didn’t want him to know & him decide to leave anyway. She feels Hades return, she gets dressed, go down to meet him, finds guards & ask where he is. They say Hades didn’t want b disturbed even by her. How could he shut her out, she’d thought he loved her but must just b possession & control. It wasn’t what she felt for him. She watches crowd of souls go

will happen. He won’t b long, he runs to stable, rides horse clear head. Seer had said Persephone destined to b his but if that true it wouldn’t b falling apart. He go to gate where process souls, tells guy send him 100 souls. If he does this he’d no longer care if Persephone suffered, he’d no longer care if she happy, he’d b able to keep her & b able stop Zeus. Persephone can’t believe Hades left her,

Hades need punish her for keeping her suffering from him & harm herself. He unwraps her wrist, not healed, he has to get her powers back. Takes her to play room, he ask her exactly what happens when he gone. He say she b happy w/out him if he sent her back? She doesn’t want leave him. She’d eaten the pomegranate seeds, nobody can undo that mystical link. He needs air, she say he can’t leave her cuz he know what

go. He think Zeus must gotten to her, told her say these things to manipulate him or one of his servants. Tells her never, she belongs to him. She cries, when stops she say come to surface w/her, she doesn’t want leave him. He see she telling truth. He had underlings search for her, only when they had strong lead did he go up & check, he can only go up for few hours at time, then can’t go again for months at time

Doesn’t make sense why she hurt herself, even if died she’d b in underworld. Hades wake her, why did she do this? She trying to leave him? She doesn’t know. She cries, wanted to tell him truth but thought he’d use it against her. Tell him when he leaves her even for few hours she feel like she dying. When he there, touching her she’s fine but when he not, underworld is killing her. She say he has to let her

Nobody like his goddess. Nick tell Hades Zeus hasn’t backed down & deaths r starting, processing too many souls. Hades tell Nick Zeus need stop immediately or he’ll start destroying souls. Persephone’s raven land on Hades, message tell him come home, Persephone not well, hurry. Hades leave right away. He find out she cut wrists, think she want get away from him that badly? He thought she had come around to him.

back, they send raven. Persephone say Hades coming back? Servant say sent raven & sure Hades come right back. She know either Hades has to stay or she has to go. Hades meet w/Nick again cuz Zeus causing havoc & Persephone didn’t need know. Also visit general hadn’t seen for while, Stavros & his consort Estella. Stavros let him use Estella while he there, she accommodating but just made him miss Persephone.

razor appears, castle know what she wants. Doing it couldn’t hurt more than suffocation of underworld w/out Hades by her side. She slit wrists, she smile at finally seeing color, pink water, she drift in & out, suddenly pulled from water by servant. They bandage her up, put her in bed. If she really immortal why were servants panicked? She so tired, but servants made her eat/drink. Servants murmur Hades has come

tell her Hades gone & may b gone for days, but want her have token his affection. It’s raven in cage. Raven there protect her, she can let it out & it will come back to her. She pet it but not enough distraction from horror of Hades being gone for days. Most she been away from him been hours & barely held it together. She feel like she dying there w/out him. She wouldn’t last days. She get in bath, suddenly a

again. What if he hurt her? He couldn’t. When he return to party, Persephone sleeping on couch worn out, he carry her up to bed. Months later, Persephone found her place in underworld, still miss sun, plants, living things. She more comfortable each time had party, she gave herself easily. She good til one morning woke up & Hades not in bed anymore, she panic. She’d taken mortal world for granted. Servant come to

him w/disgust. He tell Nick tell Zeus if he think Persephone dealing w/man w/no feelings already, Zeus has no idea what he’ll subject Persephone to if he go thru w/it. Hades so angry his human visage start fade. Can’t go back to party til he calm down, doesn’t want Persephone ever see what could turn into. She seen glimpses w/his glowing eyes. If he had destroy souls he’d turn into it & may never turn back

conditions Zeus put it under, they can’t deal with/that many souls dying. Hades say he won’t let Persephone go, if Zeus destroy world Persephone won’t have anywhere to go. If he does, Zeus will just destroy the souls. He’d done it on small scale before & it took a lot out him, he was like marble statue, no feelings for months. If he had to destroy that many souls, he’d b unrecognizable & Persephone look at

Tells her not think it’s shameful. He take her back to party, he’ll stay w/her whole time. Hades get another note, Zeus turned mortal world to winter, won’t turn it back til Persephone released. He need meet w/spy Nick say party over. Persephone pouts, he say party ok w/one condition, if she says stop u stop. Hades has few servants look out for her. Meet w/Nick, Nick say mortal world only last one year w/
