They say that Hades stole Persephone. They say she had no choice. They say that she screamed the whole way down. That she missed her mother dearly. What they don't tell you is how when Hades held his hand out to her, she greedily took it and pulled him into the awaiting carriage. -- Majority of her life was spent in front of a mirror. A pretty face equals a pretty life, as her mother would say. What happens when Persephone meets a dark stranger with a alluring smile? And what happens when he offers her a crown and the only catch is that she lives with him for eternity?
