Hades All Endings+epilogue combined

if you if you find her if you somehow find her tell her something for me tell her tell the cerberus is doing very well what wait i don't think i owe you any favors here i'll answer me one question and i'll give it some thought how's that i know your question boy but ask it anyway persephone my mother why did she leave i uh blood and darkness blast found you i made it beyond the frozen overlook await the first glimpse of the sun to your left and onward through the cold sure hope this works next the surface windswept wracked by freezing cold nonetheless instills within the prince a sense of awe and the sublime for it is unlike anything that he has seen it's beautiful [Music] wow that thing that's the sun [Music] ah is this a kid who's there um hello hello indeed pray who might you be wandering all the way out here you're trespassing on private property you know um you must be persephone my name is zagreus and i think i might be your son what how deaf get out of here get out or i shall make you out with you no so then you are her i i don't care if you hate me but i'm not leaving until i get some answers i never even knew you existed why did you leave me you died you you died those burning feet they sputtered out when you were born what are you standing here before me how i died i died what you mean permanently died but i'm alive oh god you never even knew i existed either alive zagreus he even kept your name you live how can this be you live you live oh the cruel face my son mother [Music] in short i beat him finally though he did everything he could to prevent our meeting here like this but there's something he wanted me to tell you in the end he said to tell you cerberus is doing very well ah he told you that did he that's good that's good though tell me something zagreus how is it that you found me to have journeyed all this way i scarce believe it zagreus ah oh it's guess i'm just a little tired that's all not accustomed to the weather as i think you call it no no that isn't it it's that you cannot stay here you can't stay here really you're kicking me out why the fates are cruel zacharias you're bound to that place same as your father so they would have us say goodbye for now my heart soars knowing you live then it breaks that our time together was so brief no i can come back i can come back now that i found you he maybe he'll just let me come back you tell him i demand it and i demand he also tell me how come he or for that matter nix never sent notice that you lived olympus is all rife with schemers but i was so naive to think that they were different i'll tell him i'll tell him i feel awful i i have to go the stick shall take you then oh zagreus farewell my son won't you come back to me when you are able please come back i shall be waiting here however long it takes however long it takes i can't hold on uh mother i have to get back there [Music] i found her sir my mother she's alive and well and but i just couldn't stay up there for very long i have to get back to her you really made it all the way you must have gotten past your father that's amazing lad but wait what was she like what happened to you there she was she was great nothing like father more like you a little bit i guess though being on the surface it just seemed to suck the life right out of me even without the wretches of the underworld trying to do me in but then you had a little time at least sounds like you have unfinished business with her there you got to hear this once surely you're able to again isn't that right it is i have to speak you are late boy have you any idea what time it is no wait what i vanquished you in single combat and finally found mother and that's all you have to say to me nonsense don't you think i would recall such an event you can't be serious you're going to pretend as though it never happened she wants answers same as i do she demands you let me pass let me go to her again this discussion is over i hardly think this is the time or place to indulge your overwrought imagination i know where we sing beautifully mate if only eurydice could hear you singing this right now oh thanks for the sentiment my friend it's just when i sing this song of hers i i've this feeling where my heart once was that well perhaps she can perhaps she can your father fell to you as once his father fell to him although you are substantially more merciful i know it is a bitter victory at best though tell me what transpired subsequently that you have returned did you locate your birth mother i did i she was there she was where you said she'd be and more than i imagined but i had so little time with her i can't survive up there for very long why didn't you tell me i just die no matter what oh my child i say the seldomly but i did not know or i did not wish to believe that the service would have such an effect on you but it seems you share your father's fate after all my father's fate but he is smugly waiting for me every single time i make it there and seems quite healthy by then all in all so maybe the farther we get from this realm the worse we get because he cast his lot inheriting the underworld so i now presume you are bound to this realm by powers greater even than mine tell me something if you knew that you could only see persephone for about a moment's time would you still make the journey to her there yes yes i would i had so many questions left for her then go and ask them child set your resolve and find her there again and use well what brief time you have with one another whilst you can as mortals do as mortals do all manner of fruits and vegetables thrive within the hidden gardens of persephone the one-time queen of all the underworld a world of life far from the realm of death what are these things is that you i made it mother [Music] i begged the fates that you'd return to me perhaps i ought to be more careful how i speak of them tell me how was your journey what happened father didn't make it any easier for me nor would he tell me why he never sent for you after you left so i don't know what's going on still but i wanted to see you again i wanted to see you too come speak quickly with me that our time together here may be as full as possible all right i just i need to know what happened between you and father why are you here and not with us i couldn't live with myself anymore down there after i left olympus a long story in itself i came to be with your father in the underworld it was a shock to say the least the others in your father's house were welcoming enough but i never felt that i belonged i know the feeling i think but you stayed long enough to have me those whom i've spoken to about you it's as you said they have fond memories of you and then you even had a child father did he mistreat you no no your father could be very difficult though he was gentle with me soon enough we got on fine better than fine at times but when i was with child why i struggled terribly because child born of surface dwellers could not live down there could not live down there according to whom exactly the fates according to them yes according to your father and to nix even having heard i took my chances anyway [Music] when you emerged stillborn it was too much i fled i fled and came to reside here above the notice of the underworld beneath the notice of olympus ah but why would father lie to you if he never wanted you or never wanted me surely he had the means i don't know i'm wondering the same but oh look at you zagreus we're running out of time it's happening again stay with me please i'm trying but i can't stay that much longer i don't think oh my dear son then please ask hades what you asked of me why he would lie [Music] tell him i must know the same as you and you farewell until we meet again until we what happened to you you just died you just plain died like nothing stabbed you bludgeoned you poisoned you burned you crushed you blew you to bits turned into stone but you're back here must have been those natural causes mortals talk about probably oh how could he you quite a mess you've created i must say father after being of no help whatsoever when it comes to disentangling it all no this isn't the place to talk right no it most certainly is not though i take it it shall not be long before another of our private meetings then count on that pray tell me something zagreus how is she lately hmm you're idi i mean her hair fall colors or full bloom her poise as proud and supple as the oak she's all right orpheus seems comfortable within a little place in aspardo the only thing that seems to bother her at all is when i mention you is there nothing you can do to patch things up alas i cannot change the past my friend so no as you can plainly see by now i'm dead to her rightfully so at that but that's just the technicality i mean you're here she's there so what if you're not breathing anymore you have all eternity ahead of you don't you want to see her again don't i want to see my eurydice again why yes that more than anything my friend provided she wanted to see me i tried once to disturb her everlasting rest as you will know and that did not pan out as i had hoped you're not making this easy obvious somehow i always knew you know that you were not my birth mother i mean look at hypnos and thanatos there's no way that i could have been related to them everybody knew and yet when i finally learned for certain it was still a shock i always knew in turn that you would learn the truth of it eventually and i was fearful of what would occur after that time arrived i'm grateful it has come and gone though tell me i still find i call you child is your preference that i cease to use such terms from this point on no nix please it's quite all right you may not have given birth to me but you still cared for me i never doubt that likewise are you sure it's all right that i continue to address you by name it is more than all right my child you were never supposed to live took all of nix's strength to circumvent what should have been a certainty now you cannot stay dead such as the wry humor of the fates nick saved me so according to the fates i was never meant to be born since neither you nor mother of the underworld something like that or was it just another lie you told to mother and whoever else ah you think everything a lie the realm beneath our feet was appointed to me uncertain conditions not that i had much of a choice among them a one-time surface dweller such as i would never have an air you really believe that then why attempt to have a child anyway you don't know anything why anyone would choose to have a child as a mystery to me the fate said i would never have an heir perhaps this was all they meant blast you boy you should have never sprung from chaos why you got you in the name of hades stitches shut it as i picked it up beyond the frozen overlook await the first glimpse of the sun to your left then onward through the cold [Music] so bright you're back i'm back mother [Music] mother i discovered how come father led you to believe that i could not survive past birth he didn't lie to you exactly so he says wait slow down zagreus what do you mean he told me you would not survive your birth yet here you are how wasn't that a lie because he thought it was the truth the fates appointed him dominion over the entire underworld but he would never have an heir so he was led to understand he never expected me to be born much less survive he never expected you to survive then forgive my asking but why did you how did you the fates are not known for making mistakes when it comes to such things nick saved my life or gave me life i guess then raised me in your absence the fate of her daughters right maybe she persuaded them to go easier on me she cannot say more in any case apparently it took her quite a while to revive me and by then you were gone nix of course she was involved i only managed to escape because of her then she restored my stillborn son to life and nurtured him and i never would have known unless that child fully grown and having learned the truth defied his father and then found me here yes although we still don't know how come father and nick's never sent for you though let me ask you something mother if you please if you had found out that i was born and very much alive would you have come back would i have come back to see my only child had i but known you lived i would have gladly gone through hell again to see you zacharias of course i would have well then what if what if father didn't want you doing that what if he didn't want me coming back to him or seeing you oh no you're fading again zagreus you've pushed yourself too hard but what is it you meant by what you said it's just a hunch of mine i'll be back father wanted her to leave didn't he oh you are just the best i bet you died on purpose just to get this back to me didn't you didn't you i have a secret hypnose i've died on purpose every single time just to see you natural causes got you again huh that's a real shame i mean imagine one day you're just going about your business and then you're dead although i guess you don't have to imagine it like i do no how did it go lad you've been gone a while for good reason i hope i found her again sir and we were able to talk some more but i have so many questions left for her and father's certainly not been of any help well first of all good work i knew you had it in you secondly you know what you have to do go find her for as many chances as it takes it's not just her you've sought it's the answers to those questions that you have yes everything is as it always was i told you boy i told you there's no escape from here learned that the hard way then you could have told me more important things mother left because she never even knew i was alive thanks to you she's got a lot of questions herself as you can probably imagine i'm headed back to her you're going to cooperate nonsense listen to me if you have any sense remaining in that head of yours i caution you not to discuss this here and now let me go let me find her she demands it no i'll hear no demands from you it is my humble duty to oblige my favorite boy with all the treats as i am able to procure knowing the watchdog's never-ending appetite for treats the prince obliges him the vicious triple-headed cerberus shows some restraint for now you don't like it when i pet your other heads huh no [Music] uh you're mine is this a trout [Music] i'm here my son it's me so good to see you again zagreus since last you left i couldn't help but think the worst about what happened after i had left or soon before you mentioned nix you don't suppose that she and hades wanted me out of the way i just don't think that can be though let me ask you how long did you know father and nicks for that matter did they seem trustworthy yes i knew them long enough to have decided yes that they were trustworthy as much as anyone i've ever met but i also know never to be trusting to a fault i have to consider the possibility i was deceived especially since neither of them is being forthcoming with me even now right and yet i have this feeling something else is going on mother the way that father speaks of you the way nick speaks of you i think they care for you [Music] well they have a funny way of showing it i think your father so you have to get through him each time you visit me i do mother what if what if father thinks that he's protecting you have you considered that protecting me why sacrifice what do you mean by that as you can see i can fend for myself well you're from olympus aren't you but the gods none of them seem to know you're here so what how would you know something like that sagrius ah curse the fates leaving me again [Music] i i won't be long uh [Music] hold that thought mother mr hypnos i wanted to check in with you again regarding the procession line that's right in front of you right over there it's moving pretty slow i know those shades they just go on and on and on and on forever blathering about this or that i mean lord hades it's a wonder he can stand it listening to them every day or night um well it's just i think you're supposed to keep things moving so if they're taking too long i guess maybe you could say something or any bright ideas it's a toughy do so because i think it's important that the shades who wait their turn why that they get a chance to say their piece but it's a real tricky situation you bring up so let me tell you what i'm gonna do i am going to sleep on it and then get back to you okay well if you don't though i'll check in with you again later i guess because i'm under orders so um bye goodbye so you can tell me in due time if you decide too loud but i do have a question same as you did going into this why did she leave why did she leave you in particular it's that she didn't even know i was alive sounds as though nyx revived me sometime after i was born but by that point mother had already left and they let her be for reasons i'm trying to find out ah that's quite a bit to take in there and it explains more than a bit i think look i'm not one to speculate too much i trust you'll find the answers that you seek as you proceed thanks sir what you're really staying zagreus i mean between the generally ill-conceived attempts to reach the surface every so often i am i figured it's the only way i could continue interrupting you while you try to do your job you work too hard then live a little right well then i'll see what i can do about that you'll have to show me what you mean by live a little though i'll hold you to that you're bound to my domain boy cerberus is uninterested in conversing at this time you like this stuff don't you boy well good because i like sneaking it over to you the delectable taste of nectar is enough to briefly say to even the ferocious appetite of the hound of hell so much water uncle poseidon's realm i'm here [Music] ah you're back hello mother [Music] son i have to ask you how much do you know about your relatives upon olympus i think i know quite a bit by now i've been in steady contact with athena zeus and other members of the family ever since i first left father's house they've been assisting me in getting here no zagreus what have you done you've let them here no no they think they think i'm trying to escape from father so that i can join them on their mountaintop at least i think that's what they think most of them anyway but then does hades know of this that olympus is involved he does both he and nix in fact it's knicks who put me and olympus into contact i could never have broken free of the underworld if not for their help so nicks and hades are against each other then and olympus is helping you but they don't know i'm here as far as you're aware that's right more or less nick's and father seemed to put up with each other don't seem to have much of a choice so ever since i learned of you nyx has been helping me to find you while fathers tried to stop me that fool what was he thinking what is he thinking do you suppose he thinks that he's protecting me from them i i think maybe he does think so indeed because now having met my relatives upon olympus i can definitely see that they can be a bit vindictive about things vindictiveness runs in the family my son then if olympus is involved that would explain a lot i'm here not there with them as you can see but oh it seems we'll have to speak some more when next you return [Music] when i return [Music] fine all right nyx my mother was quite concerned to learn olympus has been aiding me did you haven't you put her in danger by involving them was there no other way no there was not she has been in danger all along i concealed her yes even from me but it is not enough i do not think that you could have found her without the olympians and if i did not reveal your existence to them if they discovered who you are it would be worse oh what a mess how are we going to fix this the olympians maintain belief that you are trying to reach them i trust we can sustain this understanding for a long long time perhaps not forever but long enough to discover a solution perhaps with your birth mother's help i'll be careful appreciate you you're not going to stop me to think olympus has been aiding you you must be so grateful to them for their aid without which none of this would have been possible yeah about that father did did you let mother go because you feared olympus would find out and not respond well to the circumstances if they did be grateful they have not found out as yet for all your meddling you do not know them as well as you think ask yourself why she left olympus and how or better yet ask her well she seems quite lovely so knowing you you probably tricked her into signing a pact to come join you with something since you weren't allowed on olympus why not have olympus come to you surprisingly not distant from the truth i took her boy i took her down with me is that what you wish to hear does that anger you come bring forth that anger then [Music] the world you seek out there it's even crueler than the one you know you shall not i did it in the name of hades did malphone shut up mother isn't far [Music] warmer finally oh it's you it's only me i could not stand it on olympus sagrius the blustering the posturing my overbearing mother none of it i would have left the mountain voluntarily except except father absconded with you didn't he dragged you down with him into the underworld so if olympus were to find that out i it to think of the consequences that fool is trying to protect me even now it wasn't he who absconded with me my son and it's more complicated even than that i was content to leave willing to make my life within the underworld with your father i dare not ask who did bring you to father then so essentially you run away from home to live with him i mean no disrespect but did you realize what you were getting yourself into we have a tendency to be impetuous when we are younger zagreus i heard all about your father before we met admired paintings of him it was very awkward at first but he had a bluntness i fancied a sense of principle i much preferred him to his brothers i can tell you that so then you secretly left mount olympus to be with the god of the dead in the underworld and the olympus never found out what do you suppose would happen if they did i think there would be war between olympus and your father zacharias if they found out especially now after all this and after all this time they slew their parents once if the titans could be wiped from this world so can we all so it makes sense if father he agrees with you and thinks that leaving you and hiding here that it's the only way he can prevent that war i can see how your father shrewd but also single-minded as he was might have followed such a line of reasoning as that oh zagreus what have i done no what have i done oh i can't [Music] oh i need to fix this hey i know you hey wow you did it according to my list here it says you've died what 50 times at least that's more than anybody signed around here i think i'm sure you can catch up hey tell me something sir any rumors swirling about the house regarding the outcome of a certain interaction i had with my father recently involving a great deal of violence because i'd like for everyone to know i won i wouldn't know of what you mean there lad for there are certain subjects so forbidden here right now that not even rumors can take hold but just between us for the time congratulations truly thank you sir i didn't know whether i had it in me as for the other bit i'll keep it quiet then for now probably shouldn't be tying my sense of self-worth to praise from friends acquaintances and strangers anyway indeed he's done it cerberus the much feared cerberus licks endlessly at something on the floor take care boy not everybody knows exactly how to give you pets and live to television i understand you have attempted to persuade our court musician to resume his craft that is among the relatively useful tasks to which you have applied yourself of late i can't be completely sure but what you said just now i think contained some of the component pieces of a compliment i'm certain that your boasts and twists of words shall soon inspire him to greater acts of compositional superiority one of these days or nights your methods didn't seem to do the trick approved wouldn't mind an extra helping of gemstones while i'm ransacking out there you wish to mine my realm for gemstones be my guest you know mate sometimes i worry that you're taking my tall tales rather seriously you're not really going about and telling everyone this stuff are you come now my friend i know this is a test of faith of course i am committed to the spread of such heroic deeds as yours and i do so enjoy getting to hear them first what have i done child quickly now before you go i know how all of this must look know that i was true to her persephone and that i think fondly on the time she spent with us of course nix though why did she really leave the underworld do you think besides because of me so what if she thought i died at birth she did not feel that she belonged it was a very difficult adjustment she was forced to make and she feared that she would inevitably end up caught between olympus and this realm that she might start a war a war wars have been fought for less i understand and father must have been a real burden too you do not know ask her yourself about her time with him but i have already said too much and i cannot say more you've said more than enough i'll see you next haven't you had enough so boy did you ask her about how she came to join me in the underworld did you confirm all your suspicions then you didn't drag her down to hell yourself apparently you're not going to tell me who did though i can well imagine your brothers got to reign forever on olympus while you got sent down into the underworld so they gave you a consolation prize didn't they you made such accusations knowing next to nothing careless as ever the sighting had nothing to do with it he knows even less than you if you value her existence or your own it would be wise to keep it that way and to turn back [Music] [Applause] fall through serious it's wonderful to see you but i need to ask something of you that you not visit me again here in this place both for your safety and for mine for what because of what would happen if the olympians found out so after everything you're taking father's side in all of this i am a father is no fool when it comes to matters such as this besides all that has happened it's my fault i was selfish and now both sides of our family threaten to be torn apart your fault so let's say you never left olympus then it'll be just like you thought until quite recently i think that i'd never existed besides they haven't found out any of this what makes you so sure they will all of a sudden nix may be veiling you from there as she veiled me when i fled here myself but even her own powers aren't infallible each time you visit me you are incurring risk one small slip and they shall find me discover your deception go home zacharias please go home with me mother you came here under false pretenses i haven't fought all this way over and over again only to turn back now i need you in my life how can you just turn me away like this oh zagreus i cannot return after all that happened between hades and me and everyone i just cannot fathom the idea [Music] besides the risks we're taking would be even greater if olympus were to find me there with him and you [Music] then you're just going to stay here alone in the middle of nowhere in this little garden forever after we part ways just like that my son i know you've made hard choices and sacrifices to be here with me and i'm forever grateful to have finally met you this is my home now yes while your home is below please if not for your sake then for mine do not return i love you zacharias [Music] goodbye mother i blast goodbye [Music] she can't do this to me um i was just resting my eyes you won't tell anybody right what is the matter child i sense your distress not the specific cause mother doesn't want to see me again i mean she asked me not to return thinks the risk is too great oh that is a fair enough assessment what shall you do i'm going back good she was the queen queen of the underworld my queen commanding reverence and awe and fear she was not just what was the term you used a consolation prize you are as disrespectful to her as you are to me oh what would you even know you claimed so much respect for her yet you didn't even respect her enough to tell her what happened after she left but what am i saying i know you love her still father that best explains all the terrible choices you've made all the terrible choices i've made by the time you have existed for as long as i have pray you will have made fewer although i fear you shall surpass me in at least this one regard you're back mother you can't do this to me mother you said father is no fool and neither are you there has to be a way to fix this not just with you and father but with everyone there has to be a way you have your father's stubbornness listen to me you're endangering everything you care about by coming here don't you understand besides what besides what tell me please the truth is that i like it here zacharias i've done well for myself on my own and your father he has his domain to look after the feelings he once had for me feelings we shared they fade with time you'll understand someday no i won't be understanding anything of the sword father still loves you i'm sure of it and he owes you an apology damn it i cannot make amends with you on his behalf something only you can do together what do you mean he still loves me zacharias how would you know because i miss blasted son that's how i know but trust me isn't ever good enough i know that too i'll prove it to you mother just you wait and see oh you're fading son you don't need to prove anything to me please don't do anything rash all of us made our choices now we have to live with them isn't it enough to know that i'm safe that i am content to be alone no it's not it's not enough for me because this blasted family it cannot just keep hiding from its problems running from them we're stuck with one another we we have to do everything we can for one another i oh my dear boy we have to no not yet [Music] god damn it all again welcome to the house of hades where that is our life achilles i need your help what is lad what's wrong what can i do let me in father's chambers that's high atop the list of things i'm not to do for anyone and under any circumstances what is it you need i've never even been there myself i don't know i don't know but if i know father and i think i do he's got to have something of hers in there of mothers she still doesn't get it doesn't believe me about him and i said i'd prove it that he cares for her all right slow down i understand look this can get me in a lot of trouble like you've no idea and not just me so be careful and be quick while he's still out take this and go don't leave anything there out of place all right thank you the stoic lord and master of the house possesses wealth beyond imagining a portion of which he has used for a crisp set of attire for every passing day i knew it it's just caves in his lord father's very private chambers zacharias the lock removing prince discovers a most delicately painted likeness of none other than persephone herself a coat of dust suggested has remained here for some time he's never stopped thinking of her what a fool find what you need i did thank you zagreus you're back i'm here mother of everything down in that gloomy house i miss old cerberus the most i think but i miss other things as well the lack of light was gentler on my skin not being as cold and nyx and her young sons it was all very odd but mother in father's bed chambers mind you there's almost nothing there just neatly sorted rows of all his samey capes but on his nightstand is a portrait of you wearing a regal crown of red laurels a queen his queen i was fitted for those garments when i first arrived they were not my customary style so hades has a portrait of me still why would he put it back on display now no no he's never let anybody in his bed chambers i broke in don't you see he didn't put your portrait back on display it's always been there ever since you left so mother why do you suppose he would do that because he because he loves me still is that what you want me to say have you ever loved him yourself all i really wanted was to leave olympus i didn't exactly abscond i doubt i had much of a choice but i went willingly perhaps zeus knew how i felt and thought he was doing me a favor as for hades i grew to love him yes he always gave me my space won't you uh won't you please talk to him or visit cerberus again or nix as for olympus surely all of you can figure something out i just don't know my son olympus is behind me in the underworld i cannot imagine i would be very welcome there after all this time but you are the queen i have done virtually everything within my power to prevent this all of it for nothing the fates were not content to saddle me within the earth they mock me still maybe they just think you're in the wrong and that you're an obstinate overbearing a miserable excuse for a husband and father don't you understand i'm trying to fix the problems you caused since you're so unwilling to do it yourself you're right i was unwilling i made my choices in all this i loved her yes i loved it terribly but now it seems i'm merely delaying the inevitable go then go to her but should harm befall her i shall bring my worst wrath upon whomever is to blame including you what you're letting me go just like that you're just afraid of getting struck down again you're serious go before i reconsider goodbye father [Music] mother mother wait what is all this oh zacharias i almost missed you truthfully i hoped that i could make it a surprise like what a surprise my arrival i'm going to your home to cerberus nix your father really mother you you're serious i am now if you could just help me pack up my remaining things only a few loose odds i'm bringing just in case if we hurry maybe you could join me rather than return the customary way not something a mother ever wants to see join you but wait how are you going to get back i haven't thought that far ahead just so happens i know somebody who can give us a ride karen doubtless he has pressing matters to attend to so let's not keep him waiting any longer son come on then ah i'm still alive but how you're on the river sticks no longer in the mortal realm entirely i can't believe that this is happening i know my heart is racing nothing like a river journey to remind oneself that there's no turning back seriously though even after all of this it's like we only just met i have so many questions for you still we'll have plenty of time for them i think for now best we keep quiet pretend we're just a couple of dead souls on their final [Music] voyage [Music] wait isn't this eurydice and obvious snow everywhere [Music] is [Music] two [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] so is [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's [Applause] [Music] from the place it's always there [Music] [Music] so [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] we're here we're here this is embarrassing but i don't know the way to get back in except you know the customary way that's quite all right i do in the name of persephone the queen open the gates i spent many days tending this garden or nights quite difficult to tell the time here persephone i cerberus i missed you so and dutiful as ever aren't you i'm sorry know that i am sorry hades you look tired though i am not the only one you ought to be apologizing to i know i know why why have you returned if olympus if your mother discovers what happened not even zeus not even he could stop what would transpire here oh i have a thought or two about how we can settle that though i shall need for you and zagreus to cooperate with me on a solution or if you'd rather i could just return the way i came a solution what do you intend to have them over for ambrosia not even you can fix a broken family persephone you're right hades i can't certainly not by myself so are you going to help me or what i would do anything that you would ask of me then first talk to your son hmm zagreus you have already met persephone our queen i expect for you to show deference to her at all times wow father you called me by my name what is this strange sensation that i feel perhaps it's this deference of which you speak oh stop it both of you don't make me regret this hades speak honestly with him about yourself not me go on yes i'm zacharias i know there have been times when i've let my mood reflect on you i showed very little patience question your judgment often when my own was flawed thus i apologize to you my son i have no excuses and i asked no forgiveness what about the part where you lied to me about mother do you apologize for that your foul moods inventing them on me i've long since come to expect that from you and i resented you for it but i always thought you're honest your mother did not come here willingly when we originally met when she left believing you were still born the decision was final i believed that she was better off without the lot of us olympus included deceiving both of you it tore against my being but it needed to be done well you didn't need to vent all that inner turmoil onto me throughout my life though i think i understand i only wish i could have understood sooner so uh what now i've grown so used to ransacking your domain i think i'm really going to miss it about that your ransacking revealed many flaws in our security the types that never get into reports our reputation rides on there being no escape from here would you keep trying to break free not for my sake but for this realm for the queen zagreus if you keep fighting out of here it shall help keep appearances that everything is as it always was question father let's say i accept when next i reach the surface this is still going to be you waiting up there oh boy if you think for an instant that i shall go easier on you because of this you'll soon learn otherwise so i just battle to the surface and repeatedly kill my own father then you have it half correct perhaps you'll also tend to my little cottage while you're in the area the garden doesn't take much care at all i'd like to keep the place in decent shape in case i cannot suffer this for long well i guess i'll see what i can do just do the best you can and clearly i've worked to do as well we have a lot of it ahead of us i'd say so shall we get started then thus was hades feared ruler of the dead reunited with his long-lost bride persephone the queen and together with their firstborn son prince zacharias they would go on to reign eternally beneath the earth in relative harmony the queen's return marked an occasion of enthusiastic joy so much as possible in that dark gloom-filled realm of the dead and even after all this time olympus never did discover what transpired there in the underworld after all this time it's only been a few days but it's been good mother and father are back together made some new friends got this fancy painting easy all is well in the underworld i can't entirely get used to seeing us together like this all right we've matters with olympus to resolve they don't know i'm here most of them besides zeus maybe athena they think you're nyx's son rather than mine and that your goal is still to join them on their mountaintop what a mess what can we do the gods of olympus have all been very good to me for the most part i don't feel great about deceiving them they keep trying to help me escape what can we do we can make peace with them and let them know the truth so much of it as they would tolerate diplomacy is not your father's strong suit but i'm going to need you to do exactly as i say do you understand yes mother so what do you intend to do and how do i fit in we're going to invite all of them to a little family gathering here and you shall personally deliver them their invitation sagrius mother are you serious so we're just going to have a bash with them and they'll just see you after all this time and be fine with everything they certainly shall not be fine with everything but hades and i will be prepared to tell them what they need to hear don't worry i shall do the talking what are you going to say oh you know that we met fell in love eloped had a child a child who once grown sought desperately to reconnect with his extended family to the chagrin of his grim lord father that's that's all true as individual statements at least fortunately our loving and dutiful son at last persuaded his mother and father to reveal their secretive relationship and make an effort to rejoin their great family your mother won't be happy that you left i'll deal with her perhaps i'll have to visit her and the rest of them from time to time if that's what it shall take but i'll be back i have no choice did you know that if you eat the seeds of an underworld pomegranate then you cannot leave for one month out of the year per seed what no i never knew that neither do they how soon is this family gathering you have in mind going to take place soon after you invite them all i hope now go and trust in me all right we have a lot to learn of trust i think i know what you mean i'll let you know when it's done now here you go sir and um don't eat me please it's done mother father the invitations personally sent to everyone with whom i've been in contact so what do we do now excellent zagreus congratulate him hades on a job well done uh persephone how can you be so certain your request was executed to your satisfaction it's known as trust hades or faith they're similar try one sometime it'll be good for you as for what we do next why we have a great big feast we must prepare this house is not a suitable location for such guests dionysus alone shall bring ruin to this place or the faithful thing that you said yes good now then we have a lot of work to go around so why don't we call everyone on staff and let them in on this and dole out suitable responsibilities all right all right all right all right thus did all of olympus journey deep into the underworld all together for the very first time the queen persephone revealed herself in all her splendor much to their surprise and told them everything she indicated to her son she eloped with grimlord hades she said mothering a fire-stepping prince who sought to reconnect with his extended family hades and persephone at first refused his wish but so moved were they by his relentless struggles to the surface that at last they decided to heed their willful zagreus and reach out for his and everybody's sake the olympians listened to all this and stunned the silence then zeus himself began to laugh welcome back into the family he said after the shock subsided the festivities began i say big brother you and your better half put on a positively smashing night it's a relief for all of us knowing persephone is safe and sound and mother to as noble of a son as my good nephew there well that little brother the queen and i in turn appreciate you all taking time out of your doubtless busy lives to come all this distance to my house i'm certain that it's very modest in comparison to mount olympus but i trust that you were suitably entertained of course of course hades and let us keep in bed in touch from here [Music] farewell indeed lord zeus when finally the great feast ended all the olympians returned to their mountain abode fully satisfied as for the house of hades it required thorough cleansing from the rafters to the floor such revelry of course is unbecoming of the name of hades and the fearsome reputation of the underworld for if mortals were to have no fear of death then they would have no fear of anything at all a well-kept family secret then this would live on to be i'd say that went about as well as could have been expected and the cleanup wasn't all that bad for the most part well fortunate uncle zeus seemed to catch on right away and went along with it but this whole elaborate tale you spun i remember how hurt i felt when i found out father lied to me about you now we're lying to olympus what if they find out even if they don't i don't like it zagreus i may not be an expert but here's what i've come to understand about how families work at least our own the thing is how we speak to one another is even more important than the words we use i think deep down everyone in our family knows this you're saying they all knew you weren't being perfectly honest and went along with it anyway i guess the pomegranate thing in particular was a bit of a stretch the common ground in our family is that we want peace besides aries though even he would rather the conflict occur elsewhere that elaborate tale it's lesser deception and more a concession a way of saying let's move on from the past and start anew no hard feelings you don't have hard feelings what about father what about demeter well let's see my hard feelings are nothing next to the joy of having my son in my life your father never imagined his relationship with me could be out in the open and my mother she's just glad i'm alive and uncle zeus is glad things didn't turn out worse for him i get the sensei acts a bit impulsively at times and deals with the consequences later what can i tell you zagrius we're family you've said it yourself to me before we're stuck with one another that any of us like each other in the slightest it's a wonder and a blessing i think yeah i know what you mean thanks mother i think i'll be heading out again soon see you when i get back sounds good a house contract wrapping lights
