hades ,
❛ holding on , to everything that’s come and gone. I need DISTRACTION. ❜
clouds of thick gray skewed any glismp of the world below their mountain top , the aroma of heaven falling to earth spreads chills and excitement throughout. what a time to be. soon , the lord of the sky , and their king will return , and THEY SHALL DELIGHT , for it is spring. can’t you taste it ? the change in the air ? rain showers bring bright flowers , and improve dreary dispositions , well , save one.
spot him ! among the columns of the pantheon , strikingly white and impressively towering , had it not been for his distinctly dark hair , or zephyros’ spell swirling at his feet , he too might have been made of marble. arms link , she beside him , and it is as if they’re children again in their father’s pit , sharing secrets , aspirations , dreams of kingdoms they had yet to conquer.
“ we’ll find it , ” says she , as if such a task is completed as easily as a snap of her fingers. “ and if not with me , and my charming anecdotes , maybe with luncheon pastries and nectar , or one apollo’s preview poems — why , perhaps we may also find a smile for you yet ! ”

apollo ,
“ fine point you make , ” he is light itself , the gild of his veins seep through his skin and gives off a glow that would put even the brightest of stars to shame , though even he , in all his illuminate glory , is merely half of what makes him whole , what is the sun without the moon ? " the sun will never not rise , for even the darkest nights merely pave the road to the brightest dawns. ”
“ hm, ” she hums , she smiles. there is no joy in it , for indeed , it is an expression that’s greatly rehearsed , a practiced manner reserved specifically in obligation to humor all in their court , even the son , apollo. gaze of the clear northern sky , eyes of a striking blue , study the younger god. he is heir to her husband’s throne , to hers. BLESSED BE olympus , if the mountain never sees the day of her destruction , of power being passed. may ichor never spill in favor of this child.
“ then it is fortuitous , our summer’s sun oft hidden by the grey coat of morning. after all , we wouldn’t want anyone to go blind — basking in that bright glory. ”

apollo ,
“ the light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole. ”
concept of opposites , of one or the other , always opposing — what a way to look at the world , and think in such simplicity ! the queen hera , regent of the heaven , knows the touch of eos , knows the hand of astraeus. she knows the day , she knows the night , without either , and all between. “ and what good is it , this blessing of LIGHT , without vast darkness to give it glow ? ”

BREATHE the night air , crisp and cool , inhale it. it stings her chest , after hours of delight in such suffocating warmth. true , she did play hostess , but the guest list had become great , and the plus ones seemed to turn into plus tens and suddenly she found herself slipping out. but not before whispering to idris , and now idris to hermes and surely now , hermes to him , and it is the queen hera’s hope that her husband , her king , her zeus , would in turn follow. after parties are always so much more intimate.
so , she waits to pull him away from the pantheon , in the dark , where sweet nothings can be whispered without consequence. “ husband , ” say she , when bright eyes will no doubt meet. “ do again , remind me what makes a thunderstorm so fearsome. ” // @charastudys !
