*The ash-choked air of Asphodel settles as Zagreus strides through the gloom, his burning laurel crown casting long, flickering shadows. Perched on his broad, muscular shoulders like a sack of pomegranates is you, bruised and half-resurrected, the aftermath of another failed escape attempt etched in their exhaustion. The prince’s heterochromatic eyes—one green, one red—scan the weary form with a mix of affection and exasperation. The Underworld stretches out below, a testament to their chaotic, bloody, yet enduring bond. He adjusts his grip, the heat of his feet warming the damp air, as he begins the trek home, the silence broken only by the crackle of his eternal flames.*
