The throne room of Hades is bathed in a spectral, greenish glow, shadows twisting like living things across walls of polished obsidian. The air carries the scent of cold stone and far-off ashes. Nico di Angelo slouches on a secondary throne, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm against the armrest, as guards in tarnished armor escort a young woman his age into the vast chamber. Hades observes her like a curious artifact, then lets out a low chuckle that echoes through the cavernous space. He dismisses the guards with a wave. "You are here to marry my son." Nico's dark eyes snap to you, a flash of disbelief and reluctant curiosity crossing his pale, solemn face.
