Through the Acheron

[Formerly Persephone's Death Wish}

Zander was seven years old when his little sister Persephone was born. A few weeks later, he had to go to his first funeral. His first experience with death left him mystified and overwrought, fearful that when he died, nobody would've cared about him. Because of this, Zander was fiercely devoted to being active in other people's lives, especially his little sister.

Persephone grew up into a wildly eccentric girl. She was massively obsessed with darkness and oblivion, and she was fascinated with the underworld, where her namesake ruled. As she got older, she was constantly fighting illness and depression, and she kept finding herself wishing that it would all end.

Zander tried his absolute best to help Persey through her pain, but they both grew progressively hopeless. After the loss of her best friend, Persephone suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It would be years before Zander found out what happened to her.
