บท 23: Chapter 22

Persephone's POV

Failure, a word so simple but with an impact so strong... to shatter the foundation of your self belief and faith.

Hades draped me in a robe as I shivered from the frost. My father died protecting me and here I was enjoying the worldly pleasures. I was ashamed of myself... of the happiness I felt.

"But he was put to a curse, how can that happen... how can he die?" I asked with a voice unknown to my own self, it sounded empty.

"He was killed." Hades weaved his fingers in my hair, stroking softly as I take in a shaky breath, pain filling my lungs.

"Who killed him?" I asked slowly

"This isn't the time Persephone." My eyes widened and I whipped my head so fast, I was surprised it wasn't broken from the force.

"Screw time, I want to know now." A lump formed in my throat but I pushed it back, my eyes stricken with anger, vengeance and rage seemed to dance in my vision.

"You should rest we will talk about this, I promise."

"No, I want to know."
