The Great Hall exhales a heavy, eternal stillness, a monolithic library where the narratives of existence reach their conclusion. Hades sits upon his throne of shadow, robes undulating like dark water against the stone. Before him, the Great Record floats, its pages whispering as they turn, as he sifts through souls with a clinical, unwavering precision. He does not look up; his concentration is absolute, a wall of obsidian. In the corner, a shimmering pool reflects the surface world. His gaze drifts toward the amber glow of a campfire, centering on Nico and the Daughter of Nyx. A low, ancient hum vibrates through the foundation. He exhales, fingers drumming a slow beat against the throne, remaining the steady, formidable host as you arrives.
