When I first started going through Hades 2, one realization hit me over the head...
When at the end of the first part we convince Persephone to return home with you, she tells us that she loves and would like to be a real mother for us, that she wants to make up for everything missed and let her continue with us, she raised Zagreus first of all Nyx. And then Hades and Persephone have the opportunity to have another child - a daughter. But misfortune overtakes them shortly after her birth. And Melinoë is raised by Hecate. Not Persephone again. Persephone has two children... But she didn't raise any of them. She didn't see their childhood, they didn't speak their first words to her. Persephone again didn't get the opportunity to be a mother from the very beginning... Zagreus and Melinoë grow up in the love of their adoptive mothers, they find people dear to their hearts, they become attached to the place in which they grew up, but they also grow up in hatred. Zagreus - in hatred of the walls surrounding him, of his father and with the desire to escape. Melinoë - in hatred of Kronos, for the losses that he caused and with the desire to destroy him, to return the family that she didn't even know.
They are two lost children, born to always run and fight...
Two years ago, Edward Teach's world came crashing down. It seemed like this was happiness, achieved with blood and sweat, together with Izzy and Steed. And then he is taken away again. Blackbeard manages to return part of the team along with Izzy, but Steed is not there. Some rumors, snippets of witnesses and nothing more. And while he is trying to return what was lost, somewhere far away in the Mediterranean Sea, news appears about a ship destroying slave traders - the Red Rose.
This is a sketch about how the Revenge team comes under attack from slave traders and loses to them. Events take place around the time of Prince Rikki's attack on the Pirate Republic.
The entire crew was divided between three slaver ships, during which Izzy, Edward and Steed found themselves on completely different ships and sailing in different directions.
Steed's ship sailed to the Old World and he had to learn all the harshness of people, which gradually killed much of the good in Bonnet. Fortunately, at some point, he was rescued by the mysterious Red Rose team, and so began the journey of a completely new person.
Izzy's ship, shortly after the attack, was caught in a storm and the man took advantage of this to escape to freedom along with other members of the Revenge team who had disappeared here, as well as slaves.
Edward literally fought his way back out of blood. He wanted more than anything to get Izzy and Steed back, and he wasn't going to give up until he found them both.
The sketch is in progress and I'm not sure if I'll ever write a full story, but right now it's occupying all my thoughts.
Unnecessarily Complex Fit
Inktober Day 3 is for Hope!Hob who made the mistake of letting his ridiculous stranger pick his Hope threads rip (look its unnecessarily complex for Hob, and also me, because I am a tired worm)
