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...
"If I am to perish by the power of fire, at least let that fire be yours"

We left for Olympus. And I stepped onto the chariot with a hopeful eye, trying to find Thanatos but he was nowhere to be seen. I was not a fool, I know father would not welcome him to attend with us, so maybe he shall meet us there.
"Macaria" mother called my attention back "Sorry" I said, refocusing "He will come" Melinoe assured me quietly, I nodded to her, I know he will
Because he loves me. And I love him with all of my heart. It only beats to the rhythm of his voice

Once we reached, I was in awe. As always It is not often we get to enjoy the finery of Olympus and despite the gods that inhibit it... it is beautiful. Even at night... now with all of the lights shining and the gods socialising, I felt like I was stood somewhere I should not be.
But I suppose that is how Olympus has always made my family feel. Out of place. Wrong. We do not belong here
"Macaria, are you alright darling?" Mother asked "Yes I... I am just a little worried, Thanatos is not here" I said, he was the first person I looked for in the crowd and he is not here "He will come darling do not fret, he is not the most sociable god is he?" She chuckled lightheartedly
No. But he is going to be here, for me. To prove to father and Zeus and any other god that we will last the test of time. Endless love that we could never evade I just hope he arrives soon so I do not feel so... vulnerable by myself

Hours passed by with no sign of him, no word from him and I grew more and more worried by the minute "He has still not arrived?" Zagreus asked surprised, I shook my head, feeling disheartened Did he back out? Does he feel too vulnerable to be here too? Does he... does he not want to fight for us the way I do?
"Give it time, the night is not over yet" Melinoe argued for him It is not... but the way father was looking at us and the way mother was incessantly talking to him suggested he thought otherwise He thinks he will not come
I composed myself, searching the room for Zeus and when I found him he seemed just as curious as where Thanatos was "Zeus... what happened... between you and Thanatos? He told me he spoke with you?" I asked him
"We did but I cannot divulge the contents of our agreement Macaria" he said "Agreement?" I asked curiously. And he sighed, trying to avoid eye contact "What did he agree to?" I asked
