Hades watched Youi's expression as the latter get fond of the tricks that the conjurer is revealing. The taller poured all her passion as she stare at Youi with the eyes of fire.

They have spent the whole morning at the park, walking and partially resting at times. Youi had played with some of the kids and earned some flowers from the innocent ones.

Hades is possessive but seeing how the innocent souls have eyed her Persephone with pure and untainted adoration, her fiery passion became warm.

"You seem to enjoy these kind of things." Hades commented while trying to figure out how the magician do his tricks.

"Hmm? The child in me is fond of this." Youi answered, growing up in a well-known family made her childhood extra. She never experienced going out in parks just to play unlike her sister and older brother.

She had grew up watching things from the television to give her ideas from the outside world, the world behind those four tall walls of their house. She only stepped outside to join the crowd when she is to enter Middle School.

They were home-schooled for years and the kids their parents invited for their birthdays were from the neighbourhood only. The one they played with whenever the kid's parents will come to their houses.

"You never watched one?" Hades asked curiously.

"This is the first time I watched a magician personally." It stunned Hades, she know things like these are common for kiddie parties.

"I didn't grow up into a normal well-off family, they are well-known. I had to live my childhood behind four walls." Although Youi felt bitter, she never held the grudge against her parents and her siblings. She understand that they did it for her own good.

"Do you want to live a life of a child?" Hades asked once again. She is to fulfill and make her Persephone happy. Her needs, wants, and wishes shall be Hades' priority.

After all, she have claimed her soul for life. Not now but for eternity.

"Hmm? I like to live the life of a child for it's simplicity. Happiness that comes from little things, love that was given unconditionally, wild wishes that are fulfilled in their dreams. But just like the last one, this liking is too wild to even fulfill it." Youi answered. She is a teenager, the puberty she goes through is no joke. It makes her emotionally weak, and her mental health is often at its weakest point.

When a human goes through this stage of life, they often make decisions they regret. They make problems, only them can resolve. They act using their emotions, not thinking and deciding through the use of their knowledge. They let pressure eat them and make them unto someone they are not.

In this stage, they regret, fail, hurt, and fall a lot of times. Those who bears the fire of determination and passion shall rise however those who bears the ice of asthenia shall melt. Only those who sees themselves worthy of life goes on and the ones who does not, bottle up the feeling of loss until it eats them.

Life is not for cowards. Only the strong survives and the weak falls.

"Distrust nothing with me. I can turn the seas into sea of roses if you wish to. I shall fulfill what you desire, what my Persephone desires." Hades spoke with softness and eagerness. She is nothing but a peasant if she cannot give what her Persephone wants.

Youi sighed sadly. Her breath sounded hopeless. She doesn't want to doubt Hades' capability but she knows, she is only human. She cannot go back to being a child.

"Remove the frown, my Persephone. Believe your Hades, her words can make anyone cower or rise." Hades grazed her fingers on Youi's skin.

"I am only human, Hades. I cannot go back to being a child whenever I want to. Unlike you, I grow up and grow old." Youi replied.

"Then allow me to be your hearth, a hearth in which you can be whatever you want to be." Youi melted with Hades' words, after all she is fire.

She is an optimistic person however every half-filled glass have their own empty parts too. She hid the empty parts and filled others until she is left with nothing.

"I am not just here to fulfill what you wished for, Persephone. I am here for you." Hades spoke. Youi is then hit by a realization, her Hades is hers because of the wish. She eyed the taller with sadness.

She does not know why and how. It seems too fast, what had happened? What had drove her to be this attached to Hades?

"You are just a wish. I cannot keep you for long." Youi replied, tears evident from her eyes.

Hades suddenly panicked, she felt her heart clench when she saw how glassy Youi's eyes are.

"You can. You can keep me, your Hades." Hades felt the urge to hug the latter and so, she did.

Her arms wrapped on Youi's body as the smaller buried her face on her shoulder. The strong enticing scent had masked her tears with the opposite feeling of distaste.

Hades then decided, she needs to talk to her uncle again. Withdrawing on ones mission is cowardice but she cannot allow her Persephone be sad and lost over her presence.

"Shush, my Persephone. I shall stay until you get tired of this goddess." Hades calmed the sniffing woman on her shoulder.

Just how did she end up feeling attached to the goddess? Why is she feeling so lost as they talk about the taller's future absence? She must have accepted this already.

Her Hades is not totally hers. The woman is not hers at all but Hades owns her.

Almost a month with the goddess and she feels attached already, what if the woman stayed for a few more months before leaving? Maybe she'll be left with a broken heart. Maybe she'll sport her usual frowning sad face that longs for her Hades. Maybe she'll be opposing her optimistic side once and for all.

However, Hades have assured her. She should fear nothing. Her Hades had spoken about it. Her Hades will stay for her. Her Hades will be by her side. Her Hades will not leave her side.

"Fear nothing, Persephone. I shall not leave nor allow my words break you. None should cause you tears of sadness, I am not to allow it. Only cry of happiness and not loss. Your Hades is here. I am here." Hades tried once again to calm Youi. Eyes have trailed unto them but Hades' eyes and aura are quick to dismiss all of them, noses have bled and some fainted. None is allowed to look at them with disgust nor any bad intention.

Unworthy peasants! Who are you to look at your superior with such shameful distaste?! I have been tolerant of you for my darling! I cannot allow more preach of my beliefs and values for my half!

"Ungrateful peasants." Hades growled lowly. She combed Youi's hair using her fingers.

"Fear nothing, your Hades is here to shield you from their sinful desires and ungrateful exclaims."
