Mun is wondering about Persephone's story...

[let_me_loose]

I have nothing to say to you. How can you expect me to speak of her? She who is my Queen?

What has transpired between us will remain a mystery to you. Now go before I lose my temper.

Comments

[arwenamin]

Not easily swayed they are by the angered words of a man or deity.

[let_me_loose]

That is their failing; not mine.

[arwenamin]

Such is true but no freedom shall be had by heated words.

[let_me_loose]

She is not the one who determines my freedom. I am Hades, god of the Underworld.

[arwenamin]

If she doesn't determine your freedom, then why aren't you free?

[let_me_loose]

Who said I was imprisoned? I believe you came to that conclusion on your own.

[arwenamin]

A conclusion that is more often than not, true.

[let_me_loose]

If I were truly her prisoner, she could force me to recount a story from my past.

[arwenamin]

[ Her eyes spark with interest. ]

A story from your past? Why would she wish for that?

[let_me_loose]

Mortals have forgotten the truth. [Did he abduct and/or rape Persephone? Did she learn to love her life in the Underworld? Does she regret eating the seed? So many questions.] It would be a waste reminding them over and over again.

[arwenamin]

[ Completely oblivious of any lore that might surround these deities, Arwen couldn't help but wonder if Hades bares any similarities with that of the Valar. ]

Ah, I see. Therefore, your past is...also your burden?

[let_me_loose]

Parts of my past, perhaps. But not her. [He almost seems to soften when he mentions her.]

[arwenamin]

[ Arwen smiles somewhat once she hears his tone somewhat change. ]

Then do not let the story you once shared with her become a burden for you. Rejoice in the love you once knew, and embrace what memories you still enjoy.

[let_me_loose]

She is alive. [Now his tone is sharper, more commanding.] I left her in the Underworld.

[arwenamin]

You did what...?

[ She blinks her eyes in confusion. ]

I shan't ask why for that would be rather cruel of me.

[let_me_loose]

She is my Queen. The Underworld is our home. [The only home he truly has.

Her final words bring a small, cold smile to his lips.] You do not understand cruelty.

[arwenamin]

[ Goodness, that icy smirk of his puts her on edge. ]

I would rather know only kindness if possible, but naivety leads to cruelty.

[let_me_loose]

In that, you are correct. Yet mortals make decisions based on naivety all the time.

[arwenamin]

That is because their lives are short and brief. They have no time to experience all for which the world holds for them, but they still strive to do so even in their short time.

[hagiaofhelheim]

It is only natural for mortals to search for the humanity in their gods; they are inquisitive beings. What better way to find it than to observe how we treat those dearest to us?

[majestical]

There are very few things that can dissuade a mun's curiosity. The wrath of a god does not seem to be one. [Not that he knows from experience or anything.] An attentive mun is not necessarily a bad thing.

[truecolors]

Oh.

[ There is no deja vu. ]

Please forgive your mundane, sir. I don't believe they meant to cause offense.
