"Persephone, NO!"
My mother had shouted this to me.
That was the last that I had spoken to her.
That was the last that she'd spoken to me.
I walked away with Hades.
Hand in hand.
I smiled that day.
I smiled as I walked away.
On Hades hip.
I was young.
But not stupid.
Did you really think that I ate the fruit unwillingly?
You shouldn't doubt my mind.
I did it to be with him.
Even as a child.
As I grew I became accustomed to the layout of the Underworld.
The kingdom that I would rule.
Ruthlessly.
The kingdom that would be my home forevermore.
I would live in this place.
And die in this place.
The Fates would snip the string as I lay in Hades' arms.
I will die in my lovers' arms.
I have eaten the fruit of the Underworld.
I will continue to do so.
Forever.
