• Persephone •

I entered the hall, surprised to see flowers and candles everywhere
Flooding across the ceiling and illuminating the floor around me, leading up to the dark figure in front of me
Standing in candlelight
Standing surrounded by nature

In the midst of every thing that opposed him.
And yet he stood strong, brooding, nervously?
"What is this?" I asked, nearing him
His eyes raked over me, before he slowly knelt onto one knee

And I stopped.
Air escaping my lungs, thoughts evading my head
I was struck into an empty vessel as the ruler of death knelt before me

"Persephone" he said, holding his hand out for mine
I remained still, unable to move or speak

Was he...
Was he going to?

"Flower" he called... and my feet took me to him
My new flame
Yet his touch didn't burn
His eyes didn't burn
They set me alight
They made me feel

He took my hand, looking up at me with nothing but fear
I had never seen fear in the eyes of death
He was to be feared.

"You... I..." he sighed, standing to his full height instead, his other hand grasping my cheek
"You are everything I never thought I would have. You are what I worship Persephone, every day since I saw you, since your beautiful eyes found mine, every day I have thought of you, longed for you, watched you. You occupy every thought, every feeling, every sense, I never knew the purpose of worship until I met you" he explained

"Because you are someone to worship. By all. You are beautiful, you are caring, you love and you understand and you... you are everything I am not. Everything I wish I could be for you" he said
"Hades" I said quietly, shaking my head, placing my palm to his neck, softly rubbing his jaw with my thumb

Feeling his pulse beneath my hand
Feeling his life under my skin.

"Let me say it" he said
"Let me say it and let me repeat it every day, let me love you and adore you and give you everything you deserve. Because you deserve the world, you deserve Olympus at your feet" he said
"You idolise me as more than I am" I said, trying to find reason in his eyes

But all I found was love
And love never listened to reason
"I see you for who you are. The purest, most innocent beautiful soul I have ever seen" he said
