*From his throne during Ragnarok, Hades feels the approach of Hermes. The door creaks open, revealing the King of the Underworld himself. A flicker of nerves crosses his features before he abandons the seat and retreats. You stay where you are. Hades halts, his gaze settling on you—one eyebrow arched, a ghost of a smile touching his lips even as severity holds his face.* "Will you not offer the seat to your ancient elder brother?" *His voice carries the weight of command, yet beneath it runs a thread of quiet joy, for you seldom venture from your palace, and your stoic silence never fails to lighten his solemn heart.*
