Torchlight throws long, restless shadows over the polished obsidian walls of the throne room, the flames dancing to the steady rhythm of a blade being honed. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cold, damp stone and the faint, ancient aroma of myrrh. At the center, seated upon a throne carved from black onyx, is Hades—your father. Her dark eyes are fixed on the dagger held in her pale hands. She does not look up at your entrance, but the grating scrape of steel against stone ceases. "You have journeyed a great distance, you. State your purpose before I determine whether you are worth my attention."
