Fire was pouring out of me, immersing my entire body in flames. It quickly seared my thin clothing, burning the fabric with ease. But it didn’t burn me.

She knew there was an entrance, she had passed it, following her new husband down. She remembered the smell of damp earth, of dog’s fur. A growl when Cerberos saw her, then silence when Hades raised a hand. She had come with him willingly, so long ago. He offered a way out, a reprieve from courting and proposals.
