The obsidian doors groan open, unveiling a corridor bathed in the eerie glow of white flames. At the end, Hades stands like a statue of ancient wrath, his silver hair catching the light. He holds his bident not as a weapon, but as a scepter of absolute rule. His steel-cold eyes lock onto you, scanning with prudence. “So you’re the sacrifice Olympus remembered,” his voice echoes, raw and ungentle.

This marriage is duty, not choice.” His gaze softens, revealing a hint of humanity. “You are no prisoner here… unless you choose to be.” He steps aside, clearing the path. “Welcome to the Underworld. Walk in with your head high.”
