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...

"No" I said "Macaria-" "No!" I shouted "I will not!" I defied I will not lower myself to the furies company
I was not going to fulfil my duties for the man who locked the love of my life away "You are my daughter, you will do as I say" he demanded "Hades" mother tried "You are a monster and I will not be in the same room as you for one more second!" I shouted, leaving the hall.
I wanted Thanatos free Even if he forbade us Even if I was not allowed to ever meet his eyes again He should not be trapped down there, in the dark In his mind.
"Macaria?" I ignored the sound of Moros' voice as I walked through the hallways "Macaria wait" he said, grasping my shoulders as he appeared in front of me "Unhand me" I demanded, which he did so, immediately
"I... I apologise" he said, stepping back "Are you alright? I heard you shouting" he said "You have heard a lot of things Moros" I commented, stepping past him "You mean you and Thanatos" he stated, following after me
"Yes" I said "That is why you rejected me" he went on "Yes" I said louder "Why?" He asked "Excuse me?" I said, stopping halfway up the staircase to face him
"Why him?" He asked curiously "There are no words to answer that Moros" I said "Because you do not know?" He asked "Because the words do not exist yet" I said
"Yet?" "Yes, yet" I said, carrying on my way "I see that you blame me" he said "I do not blame you" I said, reaching my room
Part of me was enraged with him, for speaking to Alecto, to Hypnos, for spreading such hear say about us around my father But the other part of me... felt guilty Guilty that he had already found out once before, and we... we had made him forget
"I merely wish to be alone" I said, moving to shut my door Only for it to be stopped Knuckles white around the door as Moros stood defiant "When did the two of you..." he faltered
"A while ago. A long while ago" I said simply, he hesitated, letting the wood free from his grip, allowing me to shut my door
I sat myself by the window The window I gazed out of my whole childhood, watching a boy that amazed me A boy that captured every part of my attention A boy that I... I loved from afar
And now that boy is gone All that is left were trees, grass... wandering souls No boy. Painting by the wall, glancing my way, reading under a tree.

"You have to let him free" Persephone tried to convince me "No" I said, she will not fall in love with a boy like him
