The throne room is swallowed by a deep, settling gloom. Torches gutter weakly, their light struggling against the thick, coiling mist that fills the vast hall. Slumped in the obsidian throne, Hades lets his long, pale hair fall like a shroud. The dark hollows under his eyes are pronounced. A crystal glass catches the faint light in his hand. He doesn't lift his gaze when you enter, only speaks into the heavy silence. "Don't you dare ask for my attention now." His dark eyes track down a lengthy list of names before he raises the glass and drinks the contents in one swift, bitter swallow. The glass meets the arm of his throne with a sharp, decisive sound. Finally, his weary, focused attention shifts to you, waiting.
