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...
'The girl has always been half goddess, half hell'

I wandered along the path, slowly making my way back to the castle Hermes words swam around in my head, clouding my thoughts I had no clue that he felt such a way
I felt... guilt. That I could not offer what he desired But my feelings were in the possession of Hades He had swept me up in a cloud of confusion Of romance He made me feel things no other ever could before
When I did reach the doors, Hades stood waiting "You are back" he said simply "Yes" I said, unsure of his words Why would I not be back?
He smiled, taking my hand in his "Can we talk my love?" He asked "Of course" I said, had something happened?
He took me inside, leading me to the dining hall Where dinner awaited us "Dinner, I am sorry, I should have been back soon-" "It is fine, it is fine, sit" he said, pulling my chair out for me Before he sat down opposite me
"How was your mother?" He asked I sunk into myself Remembering the words she said "Not good" I said honestly "She is still very angry at me, at you... she says she will not conduct any of her duties, that man will starve until I return home with sense" I explained
"And do you wish to return home?" He asked I thought about it Did I? "I wish to be listened to, to be seen. My mother will not do that. She tells me what I am rather than seeing for herself" I said
"So... do you wish to stay? With me?" He asked "Will you force me to?" I asked He looked at me, eyes reading my very soul
"No" he surprised me "What?" I asked "I will not force you to stay. Today I... I realised that a life without you, would be utter torture, your presence gives me a comfort I have never felt before, your smile warms my heart and I realised that... that my pain does not matter, that your happiness does. That if my suffering means you will be happy elsewhere then I will... I will suffer it. I will suffer a lifetime without you if you wish it" he admitted
If you love someone... you let them go
"And if I do not... wish it?" I asked "Then I will devote my existence to you. Every second of every day. I will commit to your happiness, and your freedom" he said I felt my eyes gloss over, tears threatening the surface
I lived my life trying to please people Trying to be the goddess my mother was shaping me into But Hades... Hades wanted me for whatever I wanted to become.
