the shades were dancing to a dead beat the party was crowded but you could walk through them everyone was invited. free entrance well, almost i spotted Hades in that underground club which he owned he didn't look like he belonged  he had the guise of conceit of the richest 1%  it was annoying high on the sweetest ambrosia biting down on a diamond necklace  drinking perrier with a straw he caught my eye i caught his  i leaned against the cold marble of his shoulder and i spoke in his ghostly ear I said:  O Unseen, why should hell lag behind? so many by my works have fallen we're partners, uncle I said hey king  ruler of revenants i wanna forge an alliance hey king don't the boatmen get lonely on their little boats don't you? he held out his hand Turn it Up, he said to the Dead and we danced our pact was sealed Hell would have a Queen

about

It is well know that Hades, ancient Greek god of the Underworld and king of the dead, was a bit of a loner.
I mean, the dating scene down there is kinda depressing.
Until he met Persephone, fell in love, and allegedly kidnapped-married her, Hades's love life was D.O.A...
The myth of the Taking of Persephone is pretty well known nowadays.
People are even writing comics about it. It's a popular story!
The part of that story that lies hidden, however, is that Hades had a little help from the Goddess of Love.
That's right, the Taking of Persephone was Aphrodite's idea.
You're welcome, uncle Hades.
I wanted to branch out, you know. Conquer other territories, and plant the Love flag in the depths of the Underworld.
Ancient Greek goddesses tend to be quite ambitious, after all: that's just one of our many human traits (and character flaws).
I have since retired from orchestrating schemes, of course.
Honest to gods! I've been reborn (literally) and now I choose to spread the Love in a much less invasive manner.
Anyways, my deal with Hades was sealed in a dark dancefloor, away from curious eyes.
And nobody ever knew what really happened... until today.
