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

Persephone tried to use the tour to forget about what had just happened back in the office, and so did Hades. But Tekos on the other hand, was using it to get as close to Persephone as he could.

As they walked around Underworld Corp, sometimes Tekos would try and reach for Persephone's hand, but she would strategically avoid it by moving away and pretending to be intrigued by something.

While Persephone was trying to avoid Tekos, Hades was trying to avoid Persephone. Not because he didn't want to be close to her, as a matter of fact it was quite the opposite, he wanted nothing more than to hold her hand and show her off to everyone they met, but that was not a good idea.

The entire tour ended up being terrible for everyone but Tekos, who seemed to be enjoying himself. Persephone wanted nothing more than to go home and take a hot bath, and Hades wanted nothing more than to be in his bed and try to forget all that was going on.
