Eve
My eyes snapped open in an instant and all I saw was...
Black.
Pitch black that seemed to seep into my skin, fueling my panic and utter confusion. I got on my feet, feeling light despite the dread that was weighing my gut down.
I surveyed my environment blindly, unable to make sense of where I now found myself. I walked around, sensing a presence in the void that I instinctively began to run away from.
As I kept moving, ensuring I stayed alert, I found myself trying to recall how I could have ended up here.
Where was Hades...
Then it dawned on me, hitting harder than the anvil in my gut—what exactly had happened.
"You should have kept running."
His voice was like a drop of ink in clear water—corrupting and spreading until it tainted everything.
"You should have kept running."
Hades' voice echoed through the void again, laced with betrayal, venom, and something worse—finality.
