King of shadows, king of shades Hades was King of the Underworld But he fell in love with a beautiful lady Who walked up above In her mother's green fields... It was like she was someone you'd always known It was like you were holding the world when you held her Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in And there were no words for the way that you felt So you opened your mouth and you started to sing...

She smiles and kisses him briefly. Though she doesn't want to admit it completely she knows she'll be a little relieved having him with her. "Not even my mother?" she said.

"Not yours, not anyone's," he said, that slight smile softening his features all over again as he lifted his hand to curl his fingers gently in the soft ends of her hair, leaning down to rest his forehead against hers. "I love you."

"I love you," she replied, her throat tight. "I don't know why you chose me, but... you have."

"Nothing else has ever made me want for light like you do," he said simply. There was no sense mincing words when it came to the truth.

"Nothing?" His life had been longer than hers, stretching back into the far past, as long as her mother's.

"Just you," Hades smile was slight but sincere, reaching down to brush a hand over her cheek.

She knows that by the time they all faded and time was over, she will have done to many things to see just a sliver of that smile on his handsome face. She raises on her toes to slip her arms around his shoulders, her warmth leaching into him. "I'm going to be your wife," she murmured, partly to herself, and partly to him.

"I'm as surprised as you are," he murmured gently, breathing out a chuckle as he did before he kissed the bridge of her nose, and then her forehead. "I'll make you happy Persephone," even if everything that made him who he was seemed so contrary to her, and who she was, Hades now believed that he still could, that he might already be on his way.

"I know. You already have," she said with a serene smile.
