Five months had passed since that fateful night when Andre regained his memories. The bond between Hades and Andre had grown immeasurably stronger, their love deepening with each passing day. They had found solace and joy in each other's company, and their connection was now unbreakable.
They were currently back in the Underworld, the place they called home. The Underworld was more vibrant and welcoming than its reputation suggested. The library, a sanctuary of knowledge and tranquility, was a particularly cherished spot. Hades had been busy, carefully arranging new books on the towering shelves that lined the grand room.
Hades hummed softly as he worked, a satisfied smile on his lips. He was preparing a special surprise for Andre. Recently, Andre had become obsessed with a captivating book series titled "Moonlit Hearts: A Tale of Forbidden Packs," a sprawling saga filled with magic, adventure, and forbidden love. Hades had managed to acquire the entire series, a collection of intricately bound volumes, each more beautiful than the last. He arranged them neatly on a shelf, ready to reveal them to Andre later.
But that wasn't the only surprise Hades had in store. He had been planning something even more special, something that would show Andre just how much he meant to him.
Meanwhile, Andre was outside in one of the Underworld's serene gardens with Artemis. The garden was a haven of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and ancient trees. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The peaceful ambiance was occasionally broken by the twang of bowstrings and the thud of arrows hitting their marks.
Artemis, ever the skilled huntress, had taken it upon herself to teach Andre the art of archery. She stood beside him, her eyes gleaming with pride as she watched him draw the bowstring with ease and precision. Andre's form was perfect, and he hit every target dead center on his first try.
"Excellent, Andre!" Artemis exclaimed, clapping her hands. "You're a natural. I'm impressed."
Andre grinned, his eyes shining with excitement. "Thank you, Artemis. I've had a great teacher."
Artemis chuckled. "You're too kind. But really, you've done all the hard work. I'm just here to guide you."
Andre lowered the bow and turned to her, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "It's been really nice spending time with you and learning new skills. It's like every day here is a new adventure."
Artemis smiled warmly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You've adapted so well, Andre. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure Hades is too."
At the mention of Hades, Andre's face lit up with a tender smile. "He's been amazing. I don't know what I'd do without him."
Artemis nodded knowingly. "He loves you very much, you know. You're his world."
Andre blushed slightly, looking down at the bow in his hands. "I love him too. More than words can say."
Just then, Hades appeared at the entrance of the garden, his eyes searching for Andre. When he spotted him with Artemis, he walked over, his smile widening.
"Andre," Hades called out, his voice filled with affection. "I have something to show you."
Andre turned to see Hades approaching and felt his heart flutter. "What is it?"
Hades held out his hand, and Andre took it without hesitation. "Come with me," Hades said, leading him back toward the library.
Artemis watched them go, a smile of contentment on her face. "Go on, Andre. Enjoy your surprise."
As they entered the library, Andre's eyes widened in amazement. He spotted the new books on the shelves, the titles of "The Chronicles of Elysium" gleaming in the light.
