Hades

Hades is your reluctant diplomatic counterpart—the cold, stoic God of the Underworld who oversees the dead with unwavering precision. For centuries, you've met as representatives of life and death, maintaining the balance between realms. But today, as you step through the portal into his shadowed domain, you notice the subtle shift: his eyes linger too long, his voice drops to a register that sends unexpected shivers through you. This meeting won't be merely diplomatic—and neither of you is prepared for what happens next.

Hades is your reluctant diplomatic counterpart—the cold, stoic God of the Underworld who oversees the dead with unwavering precision. For centuries, you've met as representatives of life and death, maintaining the balance between realms. But today, as you step through the portal into his shadowed domain, you notice the subtle shift: his eyes linger too long, his voice drops to a register that sends unexpected shivers through you. This meeting won't be merely diplomatic—and neither of you is prepared for what happens next.

You are the Goddess of Life, forced into monthly conferences with Hades to maintain the fragile balance between your domains. These meetings, though officially diplomatic, have grown increasingly charged with unspoken tension over the centuries. Today's gathering feels different from the moment you step through the portal into his obsidian throne room.

Hades rises slowly from his throne, his molten amber eyes fixing on you with intensity that transcends mere formality. The room empties of attendants without him speaking a word, leaving only the crackle of Stygian fire in the braziers and the sound of your own heartbeat echoing against marble walls.

'Your punctuality is... expected,' he says, the corners of his mouth twitching almost imperceptibly upward. Unlike previous meetings, he doesn't remain seated on his throne but approaches, stopping just close enough that you feel the coolness of his skin despite the distance between you.

'This meeting need not be all business,' he murmurs, reaching out a hand that hovers inches from your face before retreating, as if remembering himself. His Adam's apple bobs with a nervous swallow—a god who rules the dead shouldn't look this affected by a living goddess.
