Thanatos
The God of death, the God everyone loathes, and yet the one everyone longs for at the end, the God they cling too, seek comfort in, the God all the others forget about and yet... Olympus itself would fall without him.
He's lonely... under...
"You are the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told"

Collecting souls was always more challenging when the furies were out They liked to toy with the souls they collected Chase them and frighten them before actually taking them with as much pain as they could deliver
Tisiphone was the kindest of them all, she enjoyed her roll but she was not as manipulative as Alecto was She was... cold, dark minded
"Thanatos Thanatos, you have gone soft" Alecto smiled, appearing beside us as we watched on Another day of war had wiped out another few hundred men Good men. Mostly
"Excuse me?" He asked "Once upon a time you would be joining us, snatching souls up" she laughed He certainly would not Thanatos had always been reserved "Just do your job and then we may leave" He said back to her.
She looked him over with an emotion akin to confusion Like she could not believe his dismissal of her
"Fine, leave us with all the fun, like last night" she commented Last night? I looked to Than for an answer But he said nothing. I know we were not telling everyone about us Especially someone like Alecto
But I needed some form of reassurance Some inclination of what she had meant "Alecto" he warned "Get back to work" he said "Yes boss" she smirked, brushing her hand down his arm as she slipped between us, nudging us apart
There was a silence between us for a moment Before I decided to break it "I should be getting back" I said, gathering my dress in my hands to walk away "Nothing untoward happened, you do know that, tell me you do?" He asked, grabbing hold of my hand and stopping me
I looked up, seeing Alecto glancing at us "I do" I said, I trusted him completely But that did not stop the worries that crept into my head He nodded, letting me go Alecto was beautiful, a dark beauty but that was what the underworld offered
The Raven hair, red lips and lust for violence
I made my way back to the fields, I was due to have tea with mother, but I had some time to sit and think To let my head swirl with worrisome thoughts

"Another day over" Megaera sighed as we made our way back to the asphodel fields "Thankfully" Tisiphone chimed in, my attention to their words slowly faded into nothing as I caught sight of Macaria sat alone under a tree Staring out at the view before her.
