Over (Darkened) Hill and Dale...
Persephone, Rhea, and young Hades had traveled the Underworld, but as they did so, Sephy was filled with an increasing sense of uneasiness. Things were still a bit off. Things were becoming more off. And suddenly, as they closer to the palace she and Hades shared, it became apparent.
There was a backlog of souls waiting to be judged... and they were starting to wander.
She started running for the palace, hoping Rhea and Aidoneus would follow... how many people died in a day? An hour? How many people had died in the time since Hades had died himself?
The dead were everywhere. Some lost, some milling about - but what about the ones who hadn't wanted to be dead?
And where the Hell was Cerberos?
She couldn't get into the palace through the front - couldn't even get close. The legions of the unjudged dead formed a meters-thick wall around their home, moaning and wailing and getting more and more restless. She looked to Hades and Rhea and said,
"What now?"
