in this fiction I made an OC to play as Hypnos.

I am well aware that Hypnos is male in mythology.

I hope you enjoy reading

A great door of cream and gold stands in the vast space. At the middle is a statue of a girl with long wavy hair; Arms pulled back, restrained, by the barbed wires securing the massive door

"She faced Death and sacrificed her soul to prevent The Fall" Death explains.

Three pairs of wings appear on Hypnos' back to lift her to the girl

"She is sleeping" is all she says

His own wings appear and he follows but says nothing

"I can wake her for a while... if you wish"

He snaps his head in her direction in surprise but is still silent

"I can give you time together... yet you falter" she stares at the girl again

"Tis best that she not wake" Death touches the girl's cheek.

Hypnos finds it fascinating but the worry in her heart ever so slightly increases as if... she there was something important that she was missing

"Seeing her like this..." he said in barely a whisper and yet eyes betray its calmness

"Let us go back, you look tired" she floats back down and waits for him to follow

"Maybe I should sleep..." he lands beside her

"Dear sister..." Death walks beside Hypnos

"Yes dear brother?" she glances at him

"Could you please sing me to sleep?" he asks

Death's words stops Hypnos mid stride and for once she's wide awake.

"Very well... I will sing you to sleep" and for once she has a request to their mother

"Thank you dear sister" he smiles sadly.

They make way into his chambers where she sings him to sleep and the lone sound of her violin calms his worries.

Death slumbers blissfully as Hypnos leaves.


Thank you for reading :)
