"There will be a child of Hades that breaks the curse for you," Her words were confident, but it was hard for you to believe. "Look for them in the future — in 100 years."

Darkness had engulfed you for years, the words of the goddess that killed you echoing in your head. A small flame appeared before you and your hope spiked. When the flame didn't move or morph into a different form, you sighed and shut your eyes. A soft giggle made your right eye open enough to see that the flame had disappeared. Your eyes flew open the moment that processed in your head, [E/C] eyes scanning the darkness until it reappeared with a child-like giggle.

"Who are you?" You called out and watched as the flame got closer. "What are you?"

"I don't have a name yet," The flame giggled before hovering in front of you. "I know I'm a powerful soul — but I haven't been reborn in a long time. Zagreus asked me to look for you too—."

"How come your soul looks like a flame?"

"They say I'm to be reborn as the king's child! I guess this is what my soul looks like now that he'll be my father."

'Wait...'

"Do... Do you know what year it is?!"

"Zagreus said it's almost a new millennia... He also said we have to move fast — I should be conceived soon. What's your name?"

"The one I remember is..." 'Why can't I remember my name?'

"Oh... You've been here a long time too," The flame turned a pale blue once those words reached your ears. "After a while, you forget your old life unless you're allowed to move on and not be reborn... Come on."

A hand extended from the flame — the first time it took any kind of shape. You reached for the hand and once you grabbed it, everything went black.

You sighed as you wiped your brow with your sleeve, the heat combined with a cloudless sky meant working was hell. Someone called out to you and your head turned to the castle behind you, eyes landing on one of the newer maids. They made their way over to you with a warm smile. That's something you noticed very early — they only smiled in your direction. Every other maid received a death glare.

"Hey, Isa," You whispered once they were close enough, removing your gloves. "Is everything okay? You've been... Different today. Colder than normal — distant even—."

"I need to talk to you. Alone." Isa turned on their heel before glancing over their shoulder at me. "Now. It's urgent."

You forced back a sigh and stood up, knowing that if Isa was the one being this serious, something bad was going to happen. They often kept a playful aura about them whenever around you, so this side was entirely different. You followed them through the castle until you reached their room, letting them shut and lock the door behind you. They began pacing, the seriously concentrated expression on their face causing a foreign voice to echo in your head.
