Draco winced at the thought of his father, King Cormac, who in history was now recognized as the Butcher but was once adored by Draco. He remembered the time he spent with his father growing up, as he taught Draco kingly etiquette, sparring, and alpha command. He made him memorize the names of the seven gods of Bloomington and their deeds as he led him through the temple. Draco particularly loved the story of Gharok, the god of creation, who was married to a beautiful damsel named Selene, one of his creations. The legend said that Gharok loved Selene so much that he made her the goddess of the moon.

"Thank you." Pyarmëila, a flower that Hades himself grew below with the lava that came from the earth, they shone and were very beautiful, but Hades himself would not touch them because though he grew them, lava was still lava and touching it would cause him great pain and gods were not accustomed to pain, they avoided it as much as they could. The fact that he had managed to make them touchable meant he must have touched them as well. Pulling away, Persephone hurriedly removed the gloves in his hands and saw it.

Xavier simply said and sipped his wine quietly. His face gave nothing away , making it really hard to guess what he was thinking... Godvric did as he was told and kept his eyes on the mobile phone..

With a huge dining table and numerous chairs. Looking at the food on the table, I realized how hungry I actually was. "Non facile." He muttered under his breath. I looked back at him, narrowing my eyes. "What did you just say?" Instead of looking back at me, he pulled out a chair. "Sit. Unless you want me to do that for you." I didn't ponder on that. Instead, I sat down. "You can eat anything you want." "I don't–" "There are no pomegranates here, Ava. And if I remember, it was the pomegranate seeds that trapped Persephone in the Underworld." He interrupted. "So no, I'm not trying to trap you here."

“You have only agreed to visit the underworld then. You’re mother, the goddess of agriculture, personally came to the underworld to get you back.” “You mean Demeter?” Ascalaphus eyes was wide with shock when she mentioned the name of the goddess. He looked around as if waiting for Demeter to show herself upon somehow hearing her name called. “Y-yes, madam. But my lord had fallen in love with you then and did not want to give you up. That is why I.. I..” “You what?” “I fed you pomegranate seeds.” She laughed. “What are you getting so anxious for? I do not think pomegranate seeds can be so harmful.”

Thorne pointed out, "but it's like having another identity with memories and a life of its own. My hound allows me to see his memories at times. I know that he was a guard of Tartarus."

well, as far as the eye can see. And the people inside those cells? Yeah. It’s a rogue’s gallery of ancient horror stories. There’s Cronos—in pieces. Literally. Zeus diced him up like a holiday ham when he overthrew him. The dude’s still alive, just forever in fragments. There’s Tantalus, stuck in a pool of water with a single piece of fruit hanging above him. Every time he reaches up, the fruit rises. Every time he bends down, the water recedes. That’s what he gets for baking his son into a pie and serving him to the gods.

Hera came smiling, a golden basket on her arm, a few golden apples nestled inside. They were the golden apples brought as tribute by the Hesperides, fruit from the divine tree that Gaia, the Earth Mother, had planted with her own hands. Each one was beyond price. Each one stood for honor and for power. Hera set the basket on my mother’s table, found a chair, sat, and crossed her legs.

Sloane wasn't just asking a question; she was trying to prove that no matter how much talent I had, I didn't have the 'pedigree'. I took a slow step forward, my eyes scanning the canvas. I knew this piece. I’d spent three nights in the library—ironically, in the very alcove where Jax had kissed the breath out of me—reading about this exact era. “The pomegranate isn't just a symbol of fertility, Sloane,” I said, my voice steady. “It’s a reference to the myth of Proserpina. It represents a soul trapped between two worlds—the light and the dark. And the posture? It’s not Neoplatonism.
