Welcome back, my queen," she said, and dark eyes shining, Hades saved me.

You saved my life, Persephone.""I didn't...""You are, even now.

I'm keeping my promise, I'm coming home. To her.

You have made of my life something beautiful," she said. "I am blessed beyond measure by your presence, and love... And I will spend the rest of my forever making you happy. I promise you that.

I had loved and lost, and now... Love had found me again, brought me back to life in the land of the dead.

The stars are the one thing that I miss about the earth. They're so constant, steady, bright. I've always loved the stars. You reminded me of them, Persephone," she added quietly.
