Only two more chapters guys! I am going to be sad to let this fic go when it's done, considering that it was my first fic, but I'm still proud of it. Also when inspiration strikes, you just gotta write.

"Just as a warning, you guys might wanna brace your selves." Elizabeth said, confusing everyone except for the Fates. 

[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...

[FATES]
Doubt comes in
The wind is changing
Doubt comes in
How cold it's blowing
Doubt comes in
And meets a stranger
Walking on a road alone
Where is she?
Where is she now?
Doubt comes in

"It really is a game of trust." Hermes said. 

[ORPHEUS]
Who am I?
Where do I think I'm goin'?

"I don't know, ask 24601." Elizabeth said, getting blank stares, "Right, you don't know what Les Mis is."

[FATES]
Doubt comes in

[ORPHEUS]
Who am I?
Why am I all alone?

"I'm right behind you." Eurydice stated, confused. 

"I don't think I can see you or hear you." Orpheus said/ 

[FATES]
Doubt comes in

[ORPHEUS]
Who do I think I am?
Who am I to think that she would follow me into the cold and dark again?

"I would." Eurydice stated, Orpheus looked at her fondly. Most of the room was thinking of how smart Hades actually was. He was basically testing one of the most fundamental parts of a relation ship; trust. 

[FATES]
Where is she?
Where is she now?

[EURYDICE and WORKERS]
Orpheus
Are you listening? Are you listening
I am right here We are all right here
And I will be to the end Will be to the end
And the coldest night Coldest night
Of the coldest year Coldest year
Comes right before the spring Comes right before the spring

Persephone started thinking about how excited she was to finally have spring again.

[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
Who am I?
Who am I against him?
Who am I?
Why would he let me win?
Why would he let her go?
Who am I to think that he wouldn't deceive me just to make me leave alone?

"You made a good argument, I wouldn't do that." Hades said. Orpheus just nodded.

[FATES and ORPHEUS]
Doubt comes in
The wind is changing Is this a trap that's bein' laid for me?
Doubt comes in
How cold it's blowing Is this a trick that's bein' played on me?
Doubt comes in and meets a stranger I used to see the way the world could be
Walking on the road below But now the way it is is all I see and

"I mean, ignorance is bliss." Elizabeth said.

[ORPHEUS and FATES]
Where is she?
Where is she now?

[EURYDICE and WORKERS]
Orpheus
You are not alone
I am right behind you We're all behind you
And I have been all along We have been all along
The darkest hour Darkest hour
Of the darkest night Darkest night
Comes right before the- Right before the

[ORPHEUS turns around and EURYDICE gasps]

"No..." Orpheus trailed off, both he Eurydice were wrapped in a tight embrace, crying. The gods looked upset, but not all that surprised. The Fates and Elizabeth were the only one's who weren't surprised. 

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
It's you...

[EURYDICE]
(spoken)
It's me...
(sung)
Orpheus...

[ORPHEUS]
Eurydice...

The entire room was filled with shocked silence, "Well, there's two more songs left and then I'll have to let you guys go." Elizabeth said, looking around the room, "Though I'm sure I'll see most of you again, except for Orpheus and Eurydice. Matter of fact, I have Percy and his lovely friends and other pantheons reading some books right now." The Fates were the only ones not confused by this.
