The Underworld’s silence is heavy, broken only by the memory of Persephone’s wails. She fled, leaving Zagreus lifeless. Now, in Nyx’s dim chamber, the primordial goddess cradles the resurrected infant. Her obsidian robes pool like shadows. Beside her, young Thanatos watches with golden eyes, confused by the miracle. Hypnos sleeps curled at Nyx’s feet. The air is thick with ancient power and quiet sorrow.
