Hades And Persephone Quotes

“We were born from madness, you and I. The same tainted blood runs in both of us. You believe you are better than others, but we are pits of emptiness, black holes that nothing will ever fill. We devour the stars and galaxies that lie in our path, but no light passes through us. I have seen your soul, the bleakness of it. I have you seen, brother, and someday, all will see what you are trying so hard to hide: that there is nothing inside of you.”

“Ah, stories," he drawled as he resumed his seat. "I do love a good story." He leaned towards her, and she resisted the urge to scoot further away. He clinked their glasses together and then leaned back. She took a small sip. "And tell me, my sweet wife, what do the other Gods whisper about me when they are high on the mountains of Olympus?”

“Which category do you belong in? Are you a pawn in this game? Or a queen? Are you dark or light?" He raised his eyes to hers. "Are you good or evil?" She pulled the piece from his fingers, careful not to brush her skin against his, and placed it beside Hades. "I belong to the dark. I belong beside my king. And if you have forgotten that I am a queen, I have not.”

“Per? You can come out now." A figure slowly emerged from the shadows. "Are they gone?" "No one is here," he reassured her, his voice dropping to a new calm at the sight of her. She was exquisite. He loved everything about her, from the crown of silver flowers she wore in her black hair to the dark eyes that offset her tan skin. For the first time ever, he even noticed clothing. He couldn't help admiring how she favored cobalt blue for her gown over drab browns. Today's dress was clipped at her waist with a floral silver belt. "What did the Fates say?" she asked, sounding timid for the first time since he'd met her. She was anything but a wallflower. She was fiery. He loved that about her most of all. He glided over and put his arms around her. "I'm on my way to see them right now. I don't want you to worry. I thought you were going to go do that thing to take your mind off all that." "I am," she said with a smile. "You're going to love it." He doubted that, but he wanted her to be happy. "In any case, we'll make sure the future is in our favor. Even if we have to burn the whole world to the ground.”

“Minthe. Her name is a weighted feeling in my chest. I’ve been jealous before. Not like this. There is venom behind it. I wonder how long they’ve known each other. How did they meet? Do they go on dates? Does she own a hair comb identical to the one he gave me? I want to know, even though each answer would come with a sting. I could tell him the truth. Get her trouble. Maybe she would even get fired. …Would they break up? I don’t like feeling this way.”

“I have thought about taking you in every way imaginable to this realm. I have spilled myself as I fall apart with visions of you riding me, restrained beneath me, suspended above me, and your name a curse upon my lips. I am damned, my flower. You are a holy, pure thing. The most I can have of you is in those thoughts. Watching you, hearing you…it was better than I ever could have imagined. You gave me an incredible gift and a curse; I'll never be able to forget what that felt like, looked like, and sounded like. I will always want you.”
