Preface Fuck the gods.
I got so close. So damned close to finally reaching my goal, finally seeing my curse broken, and maybe, just maybe, finally feeling the love of the one man I long for.
As I go limp on the blood-soaked ground, all I can think is, What if.
What if I hadn’t tried to tear down Zeus’ temple?
What if I hadn’t met Hades?
What if I hadn’t tried to reach for more than this world was willing to offer me…?
A tear squeezes from the corner of my eye. Then Zeus’ feet come into view directly in front of me. Probably to finish the job.
Honestly, I’d rather go fast than sit here and bleed anyway.
“Bring it, asshole.”
