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...

That she doesn't seem to react negatively to him mentioning anything about her having a queenly status here in his realm did not go unnoticed. She was so bright and vibrant, and this place was the closest he could offer her to something worthy of her light. He would spare no effort to bring her joy all the days of the eternities they had each been given.

Beyond the shores of the isles, the water stretched clear and blue out in all directions, the horizon is broken to the east by the high structures of a distant land. "Egypt," Hades explained whenever it was she turned towards it. "Where Ammit came from."

"Egypt," she says to herself, the word fantastic in her mouth -- places she'd heard but never seen. The structures are just visible to her eye, rising high over sand that shimmered with heat. She could almost feel the hot wind, with a sting of sand on her arms. "It looks majestic."
