Prologue: Part 3: Telling Hades & Persephone
Hippolyta nervously bit her lip as she entered Tartarus. Phillipus had reluctantly agreed to the Amazon queen's request to deliver the painful news alone. "Hades is going to kill me," she muttered to herself.
She approached the throne of Tartarus and cursed under her breath. She couldn't do this.
"Hippolyta, love," Hades walked over and hugged his former lover. "You missed me?" He chuckled, bending to kiss the Amazon queen.
"I lost her," Hippolyta pushed Hades away and turned her back, to hide her tears.
"Lost who?" Hades frowned.
"We had a daughter, Lord Hades," Hippolyta replied. "Her name was Diana and she was taken away from me simply because you are her father."
Hades wrapped his arms around the sobbing Amazon queen, as Persephone approached, glaring at her husband's lover. "Perhaps I can find her," the Queen of Tartarus stated. "You've indicated to my father's wife that an alternate Hades raises our child, yes, I consider Diana as my daughter just as she is yours and Phillipus's daughter, Hippolyta, as well as Hades's daughter, and if the Hades raising Diana is anything like ours, my counterpart should be his wife."
Hippolyta smiled. "Between you and Queen Hera, Queen Persephone, surely Diana will be returned to us," the Amazon queen murmured.
Persephone smiled, though her eyes kept her glare. "I will find my stepdaughter," the Queen of Tartarus vowed.
