Hades' Last Light (AU)

They stole a goddess.

In 1912, a sixteen-year-old girl stepped onto Earth for the first time...
and vanished.

Hidden in an underground lab, sealed in cold metal, stripped of her memories and her power, she slept as the world above her fell apart.

No one knew her name.
No one knew her father.
No one knew the curse her disappearance unleashed.

Hades - god of the dead - searched for her until he couldn't feel her soul at all.
Believing she had slipped into the place even gods cannot reach, he shattered the veil between life and death.

The apocalypse didn't begin with a virus.
It began with a god's grief.

Now, a century later, Persa opens her eyes in the ruins of a forgotten facility.
Barefoot.
Shaking.
Ancient machines sparking around her.

She doesn't know who she is.
She doesn't know why the dead kneel when she cries.
She doesn't know why her touch silences walkers.
She doesn't know she is the last child of the Underworld.

The only daughter Hades ever loved.
His last light.
His last hope.
His last mistake.

And as she wanders into a broken world, terrified and fragile, a group of survivors discovers the truth:

Death doesn't walk the earth.
She does.

But when Persa finally remembers who she is...
when she learns what happened to her father...
when she realizes she is the only being who can end the curse-

She will have to decide:

Save humanity...
or join her father in the forgotten realm and let the world burn.

Walkers kneel for her.
Souls whisper to her.
The dead obey her.

But she is still just a scared girl
in a world that was destroyed
for her.
