She loves hiking mountains, baking cookies, gardening in her backyard, and appeasing fluffy diva cats. The dread crawled up her stomach, and spread, sizzling in her chest and lungs and she felt the heat abruptly leave her face. The gods can’t decide if they should go to war against Demeter, allow the marriage between Hades and Persephone to proceed or forbid it and take up arms to fight the gods of the dead.

The article also detailed a timeline of her life that included her internship at New Athens News, her articles about Hades, and their reconciliation outside The Coffee House. She considered leaving through the parking garage but didn’t like the possibility of being cornered by a bunch of strangers in a place that was dark and smelled like oil and piss. Then there was Minthe, whose insulting words had resulted in her transformation into a mint plant and Adonis who she’d threatened in the Garden of the Gods by turning his limbs into vines.

Allow me to help,” Hades said and snapped his fingers, manifesting a tailored black dress and heels. The Olympians decide to intervene and PersephonE suddenly finds that the ancient gods are in control of her future, divided as they are.
