Chapter Text
Prologue: Starting over
In this alternate Universe, Hades surrenders Persephone for the sake of the mortal realm. It was a decision she vehemently rejected and begged him to reconsider. He stood firm in his choice, saying it was for the best for everyone. Demeter triumphed, and with Persephone heart broken, she went back to stay with her mother.
Persephone moved to Olympus after living an additional 10 years in the mortal realm. With her powers peaked and realized, she had the ability to manage spring remotely. After a major fight between her and her mother, she realized that her mother could no longer threaten her, since now she had the power to move along harvest if she had dared to throw another tantrum. Demeter had accepted defeat, but asked if she would at least visit occasionally, which was more than acceptable terms for Persephone.
Over the years, Persephone grew a resentment towards Hades and refused to speak with him after her move to Olympus. She knew he would never speak to her in the mortal realm, because her mother forbid him to enter their property. But now she lived in Olympus in a home she worked hard to get, he started sending invitations to her, asking if it were possible to ‘catch up’.
Catch up. As if he didn’t utterly break her heart. Naturally, she did everything in her power to ignore him.
After living the Olympus for awhile, she found time to try and discover new things. She loved to sing, but never did anything with it. She decided to take lessons privately and do some open mic sessions at her favorite spots.
After some time, she gained a lot of attention with her skills and she started performing regularly. It became an outlet for her, something to channel her angst and anger towards certain people who she trusted and should have had her back.
She ended up getting her own show started at the majestic theater in Olympus, which was known for very elegant affairs, seating only a couple hundred people.
This is where the story really begins for Hades and Persephone.
