Hades's page

  1. The Hidden Letter

    You were Zagreus, the restless son of Hades, raised in the House of Hades by Nyx. A letter revealed that your birth mother was Persephone, someone your father refused to discuss. You decided to escape the Underworld and find her. Nyx supported your search, while Hades insisted that escape was impossible.

  2. Against Your Father

    You fought through the Underworld with powers lent by your Olympian relatives. They believed you wanted to join them on Olympus; your real destination remained secret. Death sent you back to the House, where you prepared to try again. When you finally reached the exit, Hades himself stood between you and the surface.

  3. Persephone’s Garden

    You defeated your father and found Persephone living in a secluded cottage beside a garden. She had believed you died at birth. Seeing you alive turned her disbelief into joy, but the reunion could not last. Bound to the Underworld, you weakened on the surface and died, returning down the Styx to your father's house.

  4. A Divided Family

    You kept returning to your mother and pieced together the separation. Nyx had restored your life after Persephone left in grief. You learned that Persephone had willingly made a home with Hades, away from Olympus. Your parents feared that discovery would bring war with the Olympians. Fearing your visits would expose her hiding place, Persephone asked you not to return.

  5. The Journey Home

    You refused to abandon your mother, insisting that your family had to face its troubles together. Eventually, Hades let you pass without fighting, and you found Persephone ready to return. Charon ferried you home together. Your parents reunited, and Hades apologized. Your escape attempts became an official job testing the Underworld's defenses while Persephone planned a reconciliation.

  6. The Family FeastThe ending

    You strengthened your ties with Olympus and delivered invitations to a feast at the House. Persephone presented a carefully softened account of her departure, concealing Zeus's involvement. She reunited with Demeter, easing the family conflict. She agreed to visit Olympus and return home afterward. You remained in the Underworld, with your mother restored to your life and your father recognizing your work.
