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

Hades and Persephone sat a meter apart in very awkward and uncomfortable sitting positions, as they watched their movie together.

Hades was contemplating on wether to move closer and hold her, that was the norm in such a situation was it not? But he was very nervous about the idea. After the conversation they had in the car earlier that day, he wasn't sure of how she would react to him randomly holding her.

Persephone too was having thoughts of her own, wondering why Hades was keeping such a distance between them, had she scared him away with what she had said earlier? Or was he not comfortable being with her anymore?

"So," Hades mumbled sheepishly. "This movie is quite interesting is it not?"

"Yes, very interesting," Persephone mumbled in response.
