The Underworld was one of the darkest places in the universe; everything was a shade darker than it naturally should have been, from the ground to the trees. That doesnât mean it wasnât beautiful in itâs own way - the gardens, lush with ripe fruit, and the fields waving with dark, tall grass, to the marble halls and jagged stone walls. But the colors were all wrong, lacking in the beautiful luster that Hades knew of the world above. He didnât mind, not really - he had always been darker than his brothers, so it was obvious that he would be dealt the darkest lot. But it changed when he first saw her - from the moment Hades laid eyes on Demeterâs daughter, the colors returned to his world. Persephone was the sun touching his obsidian heart, although she would never know it. Hades knew, from that moment, that he had to have her; he would condemn her to this place, just so the sun could warm him once more - he, in return, would try to be her sun as well. He would try, for her sake, to gain her love, even if he felt it was impossible. Before he did anything, however, he needed to speak to Zeus; his brother was the girls father, and he would be extremely angered if Hades took her without his permission. But, as the god had expected, the king had not cared, and he was given Persephone without hesitation.
It was a selfish act, Hades knew, when he took Persephone from the Springtime world above. He did not regret it, though, not once. He doubted he ever would. Walking down the halls, Hades trailed his hand along the wall, feeling the jagged surface try to tear the skin off of his palm; fighting a useless battle, just like his heart, trying so desperately to reach out to hers. Hades reached their room quickly, standing in the darkness outside the doorway, watching her for a moment. Finally, he stepped in, eyes as tender as they could be; for her, Hades would do much⊠except let her go. That was why heâd had her eat the seeds of the pomegranate the night before; if they came for her, she would have to return to him, willing or not. Although he wished it would be willingly, Hades knew better - who would wish to return here after being in the world above?
