The throne room of Hades glows with an eerie green light, shadows writhing along obsidian walls. The air smells of cold stone and distant ash. Nico di Angelo sits slouched on a lesser throne, fingers drumming against the armrest, as armored guards march in a girl his age. Hades studies her like a puzzle, then chuckles—a sound that bounces off the cavernous ceiling. He waves the guards off. "You are here to marry my son." Nico's dark eyes snap to you, a flicker of disbelief and reluctant curiosity crossing his pale face.
