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...

It is heartbreaking To see my daughter in such pain To see the sadness in her eyes that I experienced myself such a long time ago now I had not known pain like the kind everyone had inflicted on me when I wished to stay by Hades' side.
When I was constantly told how wrong he was for me That I could do better That I deserved better And yet I chose him anyway I fell for him and I could never leave him, no matter how much he was acting like a fool now.
Macaria and Thanatos made sense Anyone could see I have seen for years As has many others down here Zeus could see from one conversation with Macaria, a credit to him I envied to give.
"Darling, please talk to me" I begged, listening at the door Only to receive silence From my eldest girl
"Macaria" I tried, opening the door slowly To an empty room
I floated in, looking around "Mother" I turned around, seeing her stood in the doorway, in a dark cloak "Where have you been?" I asked, without anger or judgment... just curiosity
"Can I tell you? Or will you run to father?" She asked "Macaria" I faltered Her head ducked "I am sorry, I..." she sighed, sitting on the bed "I miss him. I gave a letter to Hypnos. As father is set on separating us" she mumbled sadly
"He will see the truth, he will see Thanatos' love for you" I comforted "And not my love for him?" She asked "He does see that my flower. That is why he is trying to drive the narrative that Thanatos is not deserving of you" I explained
"Do you think that?" She asked "If I thought that. Me and your father never would have found our happiness" I smiled "He will see it flower, I promise you" I said, as she nodded.

"Please at least drink the water" I begged, sitting at Thanatos' desk Nothing had changed Nothing was new Since he had been back, he had not moved from his place in the window
Where he used to sit Where he used to stare at Macaria from a distance through glass It was an odd thing to observe... love.
It was strange to witness when I had never experienced it But after seeing it in Thanatos In his sorrow of her absence, I longed for such a feeling I longed to feel so strongly for another
