PERSEPHONE
Persephone’s ears rang, and the Underworld trembled violently beneath her
feet.
She was reeling from Hecate’s words.
That is the sound of Theseus releasing the Titans.
Theseus, a son of Poseidon, a man she had met in passing only once,
had managed to tear her life apart in a matter of hours. It had begun with the
abduction of Sybil and Harmonia and spiraled from there. Now Zofie and
Demeter were dead, the Helm of Darkness was gone, and Hades was
missing.

She wasn’t even sure that was the right word, but the fact was that she
had not seen him since she’d left him in her office at Alexandria Tower,
bridled by her magic. The look on his face as he’d watched her leave still
haunted her, but there had been no other option. He wouldn’t have let her
go, and she wasn’t going to let Hades face an eternity of punishment for not
granting a favor.
But something was wrong, because Hades had not come for her, and he
was not here now as their realm was being torn apart.
Another tremor rocked the Underworld, and Persephone looked at
Hecate, who stood opposite her, eyes dark and face drawn.
“We have to go,” Hecate said.
“Go?” Persephone echoed.
“We have to stop the Titans,” Hecate said. “As much as we are able.”
Persephone just stared. The Goddess of Witchcraft was a Titan herself.
She might be able to fight the elder gods, but Persephone had only just
managed to go up against her Olympian mother.
“Hecate, I can’t—” she began, shaking her head, but Hecate took her
face between her hands.
“You can,” she said, her eyes peering straight to her soul. “You must.”
You have no choice.
Persephone heard what Hecate did not say, though she knew the
goddess was right. This went beyond protecting her realm.
It was about protecting the world.
She pushed aside her doubt, growing fierce in her determination to
prove she was worthy of the crown and title she had been given.
“Oh, my dear,” Hecate said, dropping her hands from her face and
twining her fingers with Persephone’s. “It isn’t a question of worth.”
It was all she said before her magic flared in a powerful burst and
teleported them to the Asphodel Fields.
Despite the destruction Persephone
had witnessed when she had faced the Olympians outside Thebes, she’d
still not managed to imagine what the Titans could do to her realm, but the
reality was devastating.
The mountains of Tartarus had once risen and fallen steeply like the
waves of an angry sea. Despite their use and the horror they contained, they
had been beautiful—a dark and jagged shadow set against the muted
horizon.
Now they were nearly leveled, as if crushed beneath the feet of a giant,
and the sky was split, an angry wound open to the world above.
Something had already escaped the Underworld.
The ground shook, and a massive hand shot out from the depths of
Tartarus, sending an explosion of rocks flying across the land. The head of a
Titan emerged from the prison, and he gave a roaring cry.
