Persephone left the light and sun as she descended into the cave at the end of the world, gliding over the rough stone as if it were flat grass, never loosing her step or faulting, traveling the way she had countless times before.
The lower she went the darker it became, until it felt as if there was nothing but darkness, the world lost to her.
Then the air pressure changed she was no longer climbing down but walking along the bottom of the cavern, the stalagmites and stalactites dripping around her creating an eerie drip drop ... drip drop..., the sound enough could drive lost men mad according to legend, but to Persephone it was the melody of home coming. She traveled down further still till the cavern widened out to an underground cave. The cavern to any mortal would look like any normal cavern, long and tall stretching out up to where the sealing and the darkness seemed to be one, with no light or airflow except for the little air coming from the tunnel. Yet, to the eyes of someone who new magic the cavern was more then it appeared to be. At the bottom of the cavern was a white river, but the white water was not the strangest thing in the cavern, along the river banks there were countless white bobbing shapes, and at the shore line there was a long river boat dating back centuries, and leaning agains the boat with a clipboard was a tall hooded figure, Charon.
The boat man stoped his counting as soon as he saw the Queen, shooing the souls that had been clamoring
to be on the boat first. He made the clip board disappear as he bowed low to Persephone's approach. She gave him one of her famous smiles as she brought him into a hug, throwing protocol out of the way.
"Charon what did I tell you about the bowing, whatever it is so good to see you!!"
Charon feeling a little squeezed hugged her back as he managed to get out a response, "yes my queen I'm sorry but Hades always insists, and he is the king"
Letting go of him Persephone roles her eyes as she said, "let me deal with him, I think he will listen better to me cause I got the goods" Persephone winked at Charon, who blushed not thinking it was suitable for Persephone to be talking about her intercourse so loosely.
"Any way if you would take me to my husband I would most appreciate it"
Charon nodded instead of bowing this time as he held out his hand to her, helping her get onboard, pushing off from the shore with his long ore.
