Eurydice’s life was simple. Life was easy when you
were dead.
In her opinion, the simple things were the most glorious.
Most mortals and gods alike never stopped to smell the
flowers; she hadn’t when she was alive either. Eurydice had
created flowers with every footfall, but she had never
stopped to enjoy them. In the Underworld, she had all the
time in the world because time didn’t exist at all.

The memories of her life in Greece were foggy at best, as
if she was constantly trying to remember a dream. It didn’t
bother her because it didn’t seem real. The only horrors she
remembered facing were the first few days of her time in the
Underworld.
Eurydice woke up in a small valley, near a stream, unsure
of what she was supposed to be doing or where she was. The
ends of her hair were damp, and the top of her tunic was
soaked, but she couldn’t remember going for a dip in the
water. She wandered for two days, afraid to stray too far
from the river, until Makaria found her and took pity on her.
The goddess of blessed death was gentle and sweet, taking it
upon herself to give Eurydice a tour of Asphodel. Eurydice
had to be reminded she was dead.
Luckily, part of Asphodel contained a great forest.
Eurydice wept when Makaria showed it to her. It was full of
the spirits of other nymphs and dryads who’d perished. They
greeted Eurydice like an old sister.
There were no chains around Eurydice anymore. Her lost
memories faded. The idea of another life was merely like an
aftertaste to her, something to soon be washed away forever.
There was only the untamed wilderness of the forests of
Asphodel, tended to by the creatures of the forests under
Persephone’s insistence. The Dread Queen’s rise had not
diminished her duality. She still took her obligation to the
flowers and their spirits to heart.
So Eurydice memorized the petals and what the tips of
orchid stems looked like. She helped the trees grow and
cataloged every inch of the forest. She filled her days with
soft songs and softer melodies, creating a life that had only
ever existed in her dreams until then. Erebus’s darkness
greeted them all like family, encouraging their nightblooming orchids and sleepy vines. The forest’s denizens
brought Hecate every herb or bud she could ever ask for.
When Eurydice thought everything was perfect, it only
got better. Pan arrived in the Underworld—still very much
alive and immortal—after discovering a workaround that
allowed him to visit Hades’s realm. Eurydice wept for the
first time since her death, brushing tears of joy off her
cheeks, now that her best friend had returned to her. All of
the nymphs and creatures of the forest belonged to Pan and
she could never forget him.
Eurydice finally had everything she had ever wanted.
It was on a perfect, warm afternoon when everything
started to change. Eurydice was lounging on a tree branch,
keeping one sleepy eye on a chrysalis that was due to be
reborn. Her lithe body was stretched out across the tree like
