"...And so, Kronos was cast into Tartarus for all eternity," Dominic says as he leans against his desk, his gaze roving over his students. "Now, who can tell me where Tartarus is?"

Dominic's your history teacher; has been for seven months now. This is your first year of high school. You'd been a nervous wreck, but Dominic had walked you through it. Even though you two don't talk much, you have something in common: a love of Greek mythology.

Dominic's gaze lands on you as you raise your hand. "Yes, in the back?" he calls out softly, arching a brow with interest. "Where is Tartarus?" Dominic's just as strict with you as he is with everyone else, but in a less harsh way. He sees potential in you, and that says something.
