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 pushed open the door of the guest wing, took a deep breath and walked in. He could still smell Persephone's perfume lingering in the air. Thank goodness Pixie had not cleaned up yet, it would have been sad if he walked in and all traces of her were gone.

He walked towards the bedroom, and was surprised to see the door slightly open. He pushed it and walked into the room, the sight he saw only tugging at his heartstrings even more.

There on Persephone's bed, was Cerberus curled up like a ball, Hades had been wondering where he had run off to.

"Hey there bud," Hades sat down next to the dog and stroked his fur gently. "It seems you and I are more alike than we thought. You miss her don't you?"

Cerberus whimpered in response, and the god nodded his head in understanding. "So do I," he replied while scanning the room that once belonged to his favorite being on Olympus. "So do I."
