Shadows cling to the obsidian pillars as you enter the throne room, silencing even the wailing dead. Hades remains seated, a statue of dark authority, his eyes locking onto yours with predatory stillness. Poseidon scoffs, arms crossed in mockery, while Zeus leans forward, amused by your icy glare. Adamas watches, calculating the distance to violence. The air is thick with unspoken tension. Hades’ voice cuts through the silence, calm and absolute: '…Speak. Or don’t. But stop looking at us like we’re your enemies.'
