Have you ever wanted to erase something that's implanted in people's mind?

Because I did. I wanted to erase what they thought had happened. When they thought Hades had captured me. When they thought he had forced me.

But he didn't.

"Momma, why can't I go with Artemis?" I asked her.

I always see Artemis with her companions. Most of the times, they'd hunt. I wanted to join them. To have an adventure.

"Because I said so, Persephone. Bad people lurks at every corner of the outdoors."

'Do the outdoors even have corners?' I asked myself.

I sighed. "Fine."

Most of the time, I would have to stay at home. If I'm lucky, momma would take me with her during the harvest.

Until something came unto my mind.

The next day, I smiled brightly as momma said I'd go with her outside for the harvest!

"Now, stay right where you are, Persephone. I'd be a bit busy for now," she said.

I nodded at her. But as soon as she was gone, I ran off into the wild.

"Wow," I said when I saw pretty flowers. I picked them and thought maybe I would bring them home later to apologize for running off.

I explored them woods myself until I saw Hermes.

I got curious in where he was going so I followed him into a dark place.

"Creepy..." I told myself.

I lost sight of Hermes so I had to walk around, trying to find a way out.

But instead of out, I got deeper into the place and yelped when a huge dog appeared right before me. It had three heads! And it was growling at me!

"Easy, boy...easy," I said calmly. It was no use if I'd panic.

Then he stopped growling as my hand laid on top of the head in the middle.

"There, you're not a bad boy now are you?" I cooed.

He started sniffing me then licked me.

"Hey!" Eww, saliva.

I started to play with it until it bent down.

"You want me...to ride you?" The three heads nodded so I obliged.

I laughed as we rode around the place until we stumbled upon a huge...dark palace.

"Woah..." I said.

Who lives in a dark place like this?

"Cerberus!" a cold voice said.

Then the three-headed hound rushed to where the voice came from, bringing me along with him.

Then I saw a handsome man with dark hair.

He looked up to me and his brows furrowed.

"Daughter of Demeter, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Cerberus, go back to your post!"

Cerberus whimpered and led me down before leaving me with this man.

"You didn't have to shout at him. He has feelings, you know!" I told him.

"You have no right to tell me what to do." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me. "You need to leave my domain now."

"What? No! I just got here!" I pulled away from his hold.
