Author's Notes- Sorry it's been so long since I've written. The names Hades, Persephone, and Psyche are real. Hades and Persephone are the King of the Dead and the woman, the daughter of Demeter, he fell in love with and kidnapped to be his wife. Demeter grew sad and when she did, every plant on Earth died, and when Persephone came back in the spring, they grew back. This was how the Greeks explained the change of seasons in a nutshell. Psyche is the human woman that Cupid fell in love with and married. She would have stayed married to him too, if she hadn't looked at his face while he was asleep.
The next night, Misto came by 'Dancer's lair and picked her up and few minutes before seven. He smiled at her and squeezed her hand before placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"You look nice." he said.
"Thank you." She hadn't done anything special, just taken a quick bath and slipped on her silver collar. But still, it was sweet of him to say she looked nice.
They had dinner at a place called The Waterfall, called so because of the small falls and steam running through the center of it. The walls were tiled in dark blue and the water was a soft silver color that sparkled in the light. The table's were set with white linen and rose patterned china, the chairs a glossy black. To eat they had baked fish with lemon and thyme and for dessert fresh cream. After dinner, they walked outside, talking and pointing out constellations to each other.
"Are you having fun?" Misto asked.
"Yes. It's been a very relaxing night, thank you."
Misto smiled, "You're welcome." He laced the fingers of his right hand with the fingers of her left and they continued walking and talking.
Misto pointed up to a small cluster of stars. "See that?"
Moon nodded.
"That a constellation called Persephone. According to legend, the King of the Dead, saw her one day and fell and love with her, and she with him. But it wasn't meant to be."
"Why not?"
"Mostly because he was immortal, she wasn't, and because one of the other Goddess, one by the name Psyche, became very jealous of them and cast a spell to separate the two lovers forever. Some say that she went to another God and got them to take care of the two, either way, Persephone and Hades were forced apart and ever since then, have roamed the heavens searching for each other."
"That's so sad. Have they ever found each other?"
"Every once in awhile they do, and the universe sings with joy." Misto pointed to another cluster of stars next to the first one. "That's Hades. He's found he love, even if it is for a short amount of time."
"How long do they have together?"
"Until the Winter Equinox." Misto whispered, saying his deadline aloud.
"Then they don't have much time together."
"No, but they make every second they do have, count."
"That's a beautiful story."
"That it is. Some say it really happened, others just a myth."
"Either way, it's beautiful."
Misto nodded again, she was beginning to understand. He pressed a kiss to he cheek again and the walked back to the Junkyard.
