King Draco (Hades) and Queen Hermione (Persephone) looked down upon the dark land, bonfires illuminating the gathering. Below them, ghosts formed legions and war machinery from the ages piled in behind them. Hermione noted that there were several legions of woman, too, and it made her happy seeing all of them lined up ready to fight. Of those legions of woman, Hermione saw some Amazonian woman. At the front of one of them, Hermione recognized Antiope, a powerful woman who was taken down by Theseus, his companions, and Hercules. Hermione smiled down at her and Antiope bowed her head in respect at the Queen of the Underworld, her eyes glowing with revenge.
"My people!" Draco's voice echoed across the landscape. Everything became silent save for the crackling of the fire around them, "Today we go into battle against King Harry (Zeus) of the Sky and newly crowned Queen Hannah (Demeter). We go to battle not just for my sake and my Queen's, but for our freedom!" the ghosts riled themselves up at this, and they screamed in cheer, "Freedom to say what we want!" the ground shook, "Freedom to love who we want!" everything was terribly loud, "Freedom to be what we want!" Hermione couldn't help herself, but join in with her people, "Tomorrow!" Draco was wild, his face terrible and full of joy, "Tomorrow we shall dine in the Elysian Fields!" and the whole Underworld shook and screamed and was born again in that moment. Hermione could feel it in her bones and she could tell that Draco did too. They looked at each other, smiles on their face. They would win this war.
