Hekate: The Witch (Goddesses of the Underworld #1)

83. A Walk Through Tartarus

A Walk Through Tartarus

I knew I had to be brave.

It was what my mother taught me.

Courage would be the name of my story.

So with Hades leading us

and Styx holding my hand tight,

we crossed the river of fire.

Stepping on raised stone

after raised stone,

it felt like the river

stretched on forever.

And then, finally we were there.

On the other side.

And there it was,

a mountain made of flames.

So tall that you could not see the top.

Hades reached into it.

And with a scraping sound

he opened a door made of fire.

And we stepped into

A pool of ichor.
