Persephoneβs chest was almost to bursting with anticipation as the Lord of the Underworld began to lead her through his home, his hand slightly cool on hers, however not as cold as she was lead to believe. His skin isnβt cold. Itβs a soothing coolness and also . . . warm, she thought curiously, glancing down briefly at the pale hand covering her smaller, slightly darker one. Then she bit the inside of her cheek. What are you even thinking about? How strange and nosy of you, she inwardly scolded herself. But her curiosity of her new companion only seemed to grow and grow the longer she dwelled in his presence.
As he lead her smoothly and swiftly down dark blanketed hallways, the goddessβs eyes widened slightly in wonder and awe as blue-flamed torches flashed before them, reflecting in her emerald gaze. At his apologies and explanations of the Underworld, she glanced up at him and titled her head slightly in thought. βDisadvantages? I donβt see it that way. Itβs merely the way the Underworld is. I donβt expect everywhere to be filled with things I enjoy and cherish. Not everything is how you expect them to be,β she stated with a thoughtful expression, her brows furrowed and lips pursed. βI know others such as Zeus and Poseidon expect the world to shape itself to their fancies, but I donβt wish or expect that at all. Iβm pleased to be able to witness and explore such an interesting, different place.β She have an encouraging smile. βWhat or where do you enjoy about the Underworld? It is your home after all.β

(I have no idea how to describe the Underworld, so bear with me. XD)
"You are truly something else," Hades mused, looking down at the goddess he had grown to admire for so long. She would surely make his dark world much more enjoyable. He had no doubt that she would tire of the scenery, or lack thereof, around her after a while, but he could work around that. He wouldn't mind taking multiple trips to other lands if it meant keeping his ray of sunshine and spring happy.
Soon, the corridor opened up to a large, cavernous room. Streams of glowing lava flowed down the walls and through channels long the floor. They created a source of heat and light, as well as a delicate pattern much like cracked glass. Stalactites and stalagmites reached out towards each other in several places. Around the walls, where the lava wasn't oozing, where doorways. "Here is the crossroads to anywhere you wish to go," the god of Death told her. "Each door will lead you to a different part of the Underworld. Of course, all paths are connected, but if you want to save yourself the guesswork and confusion, here is the best spot to find the road you wish to travel."

Itβs okay! The Underworld would be hard to describe other than dark and misty or spooky xD We get the idea of it so youβre okay!)
The sincere kindness and thoughtfulness in his gaze as he looked at her made Persephoneβs heart warm. He didnβt look at her with a dismissive gaze like Zeus, or desire like Poseidon, or discomforting curiosity like Apollo and Ares. He looked at her in a way where she didnβt feel uncomfortable or cautious. She felt content and eager, excited to learn more about his world and who he was. This god everyone always feared or jeered, assuming he was a villain simply because of where he dwelled. Persephone felt sympathy burning in her stomach at the thought of the common misunderstanding of Hades. Of course, she hadnβt known him very long, but if he had any ill intent, then surely he would already have displayed it? No, she already felt in her core that Hades was not someone to fear or avoid. It was strange, how at ease she felt around him.
As he lead her into a wide cavernous space, the flower goddess felt awe and wonder shining clearly on her face as she listened to the Lord of the Underworldβs words and gazed around the lava lit cavern. βSo many paths to take!β She mused with great interest, glancing around each path and pondering where each one lead. She turned and glanced up at Hades, curious and eager. βTell me, are the rumors true that you have pomegranate trees here in the Underworld?β She asked, tilting her head and fixating her emerald orbs on him, her hand still braced on his arm where their arms were still locked. His dark gaze was sharp and shadowed like the rest of him, and yet his features were captivating and alluring, making her want to look more rather than look away. She had heard stories of mortals claiming they could not look upon Hades very long, that the darkness around him repelled and frightened them. Persephone, however, found it mysterious. The other gods and goddesses wore their wants and thoughts like garments, but Hades was less easy to read.

(Ack, I'm so sorry! Things have been busy. >.< )
Continuously, the goddess surprised him. So she had heard of the trees but not of their meaning. The sweet flower had no idea that she was willingly throwing herself into his hands with every excitement filled word. Hades chuckled low in his throat. "Yes, the rumors are true. I have pomegranate trees, as well as a few others that cling to life in this empty world," he replied to her. "However, I do not see why this would captivate you so. After all, surely there were plenty of fruit trees of all kinds up there on Olympus. I hardly see how this fact holds your interest, or how it even stayed in you mind to begin with. Unless, this is your hinting to me that you are hungry. If that is the case, then shame on me for letting one as lovely as yourself suffer so."

Iβm sorry!! Iβve been so busy too!!)
Persephone shook her head and gave a small chuckle. βNo no, Iβm not hungry. Just curious. We do have plenty of fruits and things on Olympus. This is just something entirely different.β She glanced up at him, her eyes gleaming a bit mischievously. βBesides, I know of my own kind. Surely these pomegranate trees donβt bare fruits that are simple and harmless, right?β The flower goddess was no fool. Perhaps naive and too curious for her own good, but she wasnβt daft. She gave a little smile and tilted her head up at Hades. βDo tell me all there is to know about the Underworld. This might be my only chance to learn about everything.β Her mother must be worried sick right now. No doubt there was chaos on Olympus right now caused by fretful Demeter. Persephone couldnβt help but feel guilt start to eat away at her. And yet, she had never felt so alive, so free. Here, she could be whoever she wanted to be.
