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

As they approached the two large gates of black iron, embedded in bone like structures and skulls. Persephone noticed something strange on the other side of the glass wall on her left.

She stopped walking and squint her eyes, trying to adjust her vision. She could have sworn she had seen some movement on the other side, was it Hades' pets that she kept hearing about? She wondered what they were exactly.

She turned to look at Hades who had paused at the gates, she figured he wouldn't mind if she took a closer look.

Persephone walked slowly towards the glass wall, for some reason feeling a little nervous about it. She bent forward to get a better view, and was surprised to see what looked like an entire ecosystem on the other side.

There were dark treelike structures, a creek of flowing murky water, strange blue and purple plants, something that looked like grass, and a number of tiny things flying around that Persephone concluded were insects.
