Sherlock closed his eyes to let the flashes of information fill his brain. The Hades that came before him, had fallen in with with the goddess Persephone. He abducted her while she was picking flowers. Her mother searched for her everywhere and prevented anything from growing while she searched. Helios, the god of the sun, told her what happened. Zeus forced Hades to return her. He complied, but gave her pomegranate seeds to eat. Because of that, she had to spend the winter months in the Underworld. She became the Queen of the Underworld, and it was forbidden to speak her name.
When the shared thoughts faded, Sherlock opened his eyes, blinking a couple of times. His legs were slightly weak, and the fire on his head had died down to very low.
He looked at Greg. "What.. does this mean though? That every Hades is destined to be bound to one person? Persephone was a goddess. He is only a mortal, a half god, a half breed. How could he even be the 'Queen of the Underworld'? I.. don't understand. What happens now?" That was a phrase he was quite sure he had never spoken in his life.
