This is basically a tale of Hades and Persephone, but not quite like you know it. The love that blossomed between Hades and Persephone was never a mere coincidence like Greek mythology suggests, there are ancient truths that were buried, lies that were praised, and connections that were severed, never again to see the light of day…

Until now.

Persephone, a sheltered, home schooled sweet little girl finally gets the chance to see the world beyond her mother’s reach and enrolls in the most prestigious university in all the three realms. Will she fulfill her mother’s wishes of working hard and graduating collage so she can take over the business? Or will her encounter with the king of the underworld completely throw her off track?

“Lord Hades! Lord Hades!”

“How many times have I told you not to scream in my office Thanatos?”

Thanatos stopped in front of the large black table and slipped a piece of paper across to the dark haired man who was smoking a cigar at the other end of it. “You need to see this.”

Hades picked up the paper and trailed his deep crimson eyes over each line, his brows knitting more and more as he read. “Is this a some kind of fluke?”

“I followed it up sir,” Thanatos responded. His voice indicated both excitement and nervousness, how could he not be? This had never happened before in the history of the underworld. “It’s not a fluke sir, someone actually applied to intern in the underworld.”

“Persephone….” Hades mumbled to himself as she gazed at the picture attached to the application letter. “What are you up to little dove?”

Underworld Intern

Melia woke up from her sleep, profusely sweating and trying to catch her breath. She had just had the most gruesome nightmare ever and it felt incredibly real.

The siren placed a hand in her chest and rubbed it, trying to find something, a would, an abrasion, a hole in her chest.

"Feeling like you just had your heart ripped out?"

Melia gasped and looked around her room, trying to find where the female voice was coming from. Then she saw her, leaning against the seal of her bedroom window with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Had a bad dream doll?" Hecate mumbled while she blew out a puff of smoke. "It's actually surprising how you can sleep so well after being a total bitch the whole day."

Melia pulled her blankets to her chest and glared at the woman. She could not really see the woman's face, but from her silhouette she could clearly see that it was a female, a goddess.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my apartment?"
