Love is different for everyone
Humans find love in the simple things, such as afternoon strolls, weddings and sunset kisses
Waiting for their other soul to come back from war safe
To protect them and love them in return
Two souls winding togethe...
'As my first white dress and the spear of his name, once ferocious, dissolves on my tongue like sugar, like birdsong'

"Yes, she knows it was me who... who took you" he said, avoiding my gaze for a moment "So Zeus has called a meeting, to discuss what happens next" he said
"And what will happen next?" I asked Will I have to go home? Or stay here? Will I see my mother?
"Well she wants you to go back home, the surge of dying crops and ruined harvests is too much to ignore anymore, personally, I want you to stay here, with me" he said, gaging my reaction.
"And... Zeus decides that?" I asked He nodded "If left to him it does yes" he said "Meaning?" I asked "Meaning, there are other ways to secure an outcome" he said.
"You could eat something, down here, that would ensure your stay, at least for a little while, if that is what you want" he said "I... I do not know" I said honestly.
"You do not have to, it is my problem, my actions that put us here, I am sorry for that" he said "Would you... would you like to speak to your mother? Before you make your decision" he suggested
"You would let me see her?" I asked "If it would help your decision then yes" he said Before he made a bold move His hands sought me out
"Yes, it would" I said immediately I missed her And yet selfishly... a part of me did not.
"Then I will arrange it" He said "Thank you Hades" I smiled "Thank you for listening to me" I said "I would listen to you for eternity" he replied.
"You sweet talk too much Hades" I teased, lying down "If it works then what is the problem?" He said "I suppose" I said quieter, as we nestled into the night "So it does work?" He asked, and I could feel the smirk that graced his lips even through the dark
"Maybe" I said simply.

"Good morning" I greeted, finding Hades and Hecate in the grand hall I had woken up alone, the warmth of his touch absent and shamefully left me longing.
"Morning" Hecate sighed tiredly "Time for me to retire then" she said, passing me "Have a good day Lady Persephone" she commented with a smile, earning a frustrated look from me I was not a Lady here. Nor a queen.
