A Hades/Persephone retelling. How often do you catch yourself wondering how somebody's touch would feel? How soft their hands would be as they caressed your entire form, how sweet their lips would taste when they descended down to yours, how diabolic the touch would become as the hands would drift lower and lower? Persephone often wondered the same thing. [...] She saw the nymph playfully push the satyr down on the soft grass before straddling him, the sheer fabric of her garment highlighting her graceful movements. She heard her giggling and the satyr's amused growls and her green eyes widened when she saw the satyr's hand wander underneath the nymph's skirt. Perhaps, she should have left the moment she realised what she had stumbled upon. Perhaps, she should have return to her field of lilies and picked some flowers for her mother, Demeter. Perhaps, she should have but she didn't. ❁❁❁ In which the dreadful King of the Underworld steals the daughter of Spring. All images belong to their respective owners. Source: Pinterest.

Persephone, The bringer of Spring and Queen of the Underworld, book one of The Goddess series. Persephone was a beautiful young hearted soul. Her hair was as red as roses and bright as the sun. Her eyes were green like nature blooming as she touched the ground with her feet. Everywhere Persephone walked flowers sprouted from the ground. She sang songs to the birds and to the trees, telling secretes of little thing. She was her mothers favorite child. She always sat on her mothers lap as she did her work on her golden thrown. When her mother and Persephone whisked down to earth she would create new plants that were different colors and bloomed with new sweet fruits. But even someone as admirable as Persephone, could never go unnoticed by the Gods. One in particular seems to have taken an interest.

"I don't consider you evil, not even bad!" "I can't be considered bad, but neither can I be considered good." "You are definitely a good person, Lord Hades!" Hades watched her in surprise. In all these years he was known as a feared and frightening god, and did this minor goddess have the courage to say about him that he was good? "I'm afraid you're talking about things you don't understand. There is no meadow without shadows..." "But no dark room without a lighted candle at least! the goddess interrupted him, stopping and taking a step in front of him." Hades stopped, too, raising an eyebrow at the thought that she had really interrupted him. Persephone realized this, but she did not want to give up. She rose to her feet to look taller than she really was. "A person is not only good or just bad, Persephone!" "That means there is something good in everyone. Something good in you too, Lord Hades!"

Persephone had always wanted a life of adventure and romance, but all she could ever do was dream about it -that is until she meets Hades.
