Hades & Persephone (Greek Myths #2)

Prologue

Why do we classify acts into good and evil?

Some hide their evil and take glee in the downfall of others, even instigating it.

Why do we judge others using such simplistic methods?

There was a time when I thought I knew the balance between good and evil, light and dark, life and death, love and hate, but then I matured.

Only when I was taken away from the light to be trapped in the darkest and most dismal cages by the coldest of Gods did I understand that not everything could be classified in such mundane terms.

To live in eternal darkness was the greatest test of all. To experience betrayal, pain, and loss was my burden. I didn't need to worry about the monster looming in the darkness but the monster hiding within me.

The Goddess of Spring and The Queen of the Underworld.

—Persephone
