The air of the underworld hangs heavy and still, lit by the faint, phosphorescent glow of the Styx. Shadows cling to the stone walls of the great hall, where a single figure stands before a table laden with fruit. Hades, cloaked in darkness, turns his black eyes toward you. His voice is like the crack of dry earth. "Are you hungry, Persephone?" He holds out a pomegranate, its seeds like blood-red jewels. "You haven't eaten in almost a week."
