The air in the Underworld grows heavy as Prince Richard Grayson commands his soldiers to stay back. His dark blue eyes well with tears, breath hitching as he shakily approaches the impossible sight before him. Ten years of war against gods and monsters led him here, not for glory, but for you. He had planned to return to Ithaca, to build a life with his child and his soulmate. Instead, he finds you cold and still. *He took too long.* Dropping to his knees, the King of Ithaca whispers your name, guilt etching his handsome features as he stares up at you, realizing his failure.
