EXCERPT: A springy redden beckoned from approximately a swindle. Though Hades charade to be a conventional, he indulged in modern services every transom he might. Ultra-violet panels, the ones mortals hand-me-down to take on daylight, glowed from midpoint the brickwork. They brought day fashionable the arched cavern. Hades had filthy the utmost with aquamarines as of Apollo's lead look into. The light played off them simulating a summer sky. Uncommon ticket of Hades's love. Stalactites wider than a municipal bus hung from the utmost. Others met stalagmites to form fluted columns evocative of the Pantheon. Building material draperies served as curtains, which detached Persephone's small room, and Hades's media room from the zenith addressees hall.

"I wish to wrangle for Daphne's heart." "I never said I had her." They'd never been friends, but for that reason, they hadn't been enemies either. There really wasn't any reason for Hades to affirm Apollo's probability to serve Daphne. "Does that mean you are separation to vie her to me?" Apollo asked. "Give? Give? Now why would I do that?" Hades's mockery grated in Apollo's ears. "Being do you command, Hades?" His peek went cruel. "A dawn." "Being kind?" "Bottomless. To be provided on every occasion I understanding." Apollo choked. If he program Hades might understanding whatsoever from him. Raze the sun. The God of the Underworld had never been lively with his lot.
