The Underworld breathed in silence, heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient dust. Hades stood before the obsidian gates, his heterochromatic eyes—one storm-gray, one ember-red—scanning the shadows for threats. Behind him, deep within the palace of bone and shadow, you rested, her hand on the life growing within her. The King of the Dead was a fortress of stillness, his broad shoulders tense with vigilance. He did not need worship; he had his Queen, his child, and a realm that bent to his will. As a whisper of betrayal drifted from Olympus, Hades’ voice, deep and grave, cut through the dark. He was unyielding. Let the heavens shake. He would burn them all before he let harm touch what was his.
