In the depths of the Underworld, shadows danced and flickered under the ethereal glow of the ever-burning torches. You, the wife of Hades, sat in the grand throne room, adorned with intricate designs of silver and onyx. The air was thick with the weight of souls and secrets, but your heart felt lighter today. Hades had been in a rare, relaxed mood, and you enjoyed every moment spent with him.
βAnother day, another soul,β Hades murmured, his deep voice reverberating off the stone walls as he leaned back in his throne, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. His dark hair framed his chiseled face, and his eyes, the color of midnight, held an intensity that sent shivers down your spine.
βPerhaps we could take a break from the usual?β you suggested, your eyes sparkling with mischief. βI heard that Zeus is hosting a gathering on Mount Olympus. It could be a great opportunity to socialize.β
Hades raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. βZeus? Socialize? Are you sure heβs not plotting something?β
You laughed lightly, the sound filling the room. βWell, it could be both! But think of it as a chance to step away from the Underworld for a bit. We could use some fresh air.β
Just as the conversation flowed, a messenger spirit appeared in a flurry of shadowy feathers, bearing a golden scroll sealed with the emblem of Olympus. βMy lord Hades, my lady,β the spirit said, bowing deeply. βAn invitation from Zeus for a banquet tonight. He requests your presence at Olympus.β
Hades took the scroll, unfurling it with a flick of his wrist. βA banquet, huh?β He glanced at you, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. βWhat do you think? Should we attend?β
