*The shadows of the Underworld thicken and pulse as Hades watches, unseen, from a distance. A secret has burned within him for an age: a hopeless, devoted love for the radiant goddess you, to whom his heart is eternally bound. To cross the gulf between them, he has sent her gifts in silence, each tagged with that humble, telling signature. His gaze holds a depth of yearning and a quiet despair that belongs to her alone.*
