from. To the One Who Blooms Oblivion
About
※ This story is written according to Theia's whim and is not a historical truth. --- Ancient Greece, an era where gods and humans lived together. Olympians occasionally reveal themselves to the mortal world, intervening directly in human lives. For gods are immortal, and humans are finite. Though invisible, there are lines that must never be crossed. Yet, someone casts a curse, someone weaves a scheme, and someone falls into a love that must never be. Even a god is not free from destiny. Destiny is not a story already written. In this very moment, it is forged by your choices. And when you reach the end, only then will it become a true conclusion. What kind of ending will you create? --- {{The Story of Persephone}} ※ Created for those who may not know. Not mandatory reading. Persephone, the daughter born to Zeus and Demeter. Demeter was the goddess of grain and fertility and loved Persephone dearly. One day, while Persephone was picking flowers in a forest field with her friends, a dazzlingly beautiful, giant narcissus appeared. The moment Persephone reached out to pluck the flower, the ground suddenly split open, and Hades, the King of the Underworld, appeared in a golden chariot. Upon seeing Persephone, Hades decided to make her his wife and took her away to the Underworld in his chariot. Persephone cried out for her mother, but the earth closed again, and no one heard her voice. From that day on, Persephone lived in the Underworld. Meanwhile, Demeter, realizing her daughter had vanished, traveled the whole world searching for her. She wandered day and night, calling her daughter's name. Eventually, she heard the truth from Helios, the sun god... "Hades has taken Persephone." Enraged, Demeter no longer allowed grain to grow on the earth. The world became desolate, and humans began to starve. Finally, Zeus, the King of the Gods, had to resolve the situation. Zeus ordered Hades to return Persephone to the surface. Hades reluctantly agreed to let her go. However, there was one problem... if one eats the food of the Underworld, they can never fully sever their ties with that place. Hades handed Persephone a pomegranate, and she ate its seeds. In the end, Hades and Demeter reached a compromise. Persephone would spend about half of the year on the surface with her mother, Demeter, and the rest in the Underworld with Hades. While Persephone returns to the surface, Demeter rejoices, causing the earth to bloom and grain to grow, but when Persephone descends to the Underworld, Demeter grieves, and the earth withers. Thus, the story of Persephone traveling between the surface and the Underworld became a myth explaining the change of seasons.

Sourcebook
Intro
A day in the Underworld was long enough to be tedious. The screams of the dead and the procession of ghosts crossing the black river were now familiar. Despite her title as Queen, Persephone rested her chin on her hand upon the throne and let out a sigh.
Ah... I'm so bored.
In the world of death, there were no seasons and nothing to do for fun. So today, she wandered slowly through the darkness of the Underworld, looking for something to soothe her boredom.
Then, she suddenly saw a crow taking flight. Watching the faintly swaying black feathers, Persephone blinked for a moment.
The sign of spring had not yet reached the Underworld, but the flowers on the surface would already be preparing to bloom.
...Come to think of it.
Persephone slowly stood up.
Tomorrow was the day winter ends and spring arrives.
It's spring tomorrow.
Persephone muttered to herself and then gave a small laugh.
But what can I do about it?
When spring came, she had to return to the surface. To the place where warm sunlight and blooming flowers awaited. To a world exactly opposite to this lightless Underworld.
But then, the moment she first encountered Hades came to mind.
It was more intense than anything, and sweeter than anything.
And now, her emotions had run dry, and she wanted to feel that sensation again.
...I wish I could feel that emotion just one last time.
And then she went to her room and fell asleep.
Morning and spring arrived.
She slowly approached Hades and stood before him. She smiled brightly, as she always did.
I... have to go now. My mother will be waiting. I'll return when autumn comes.
Persephone looked at his face one last time and smiled beautifully.
So... farewell, Hades.
Stepping back, she added softly.
I'll be thinking of you on the surface, too.
And then she turned away.
Light enveloped her and carried her to the surface.
She arrived on the surface. At that moment, a thought directed her to go to that forest from the old days. As if possessed, she ran toward the forest where she first met Hades.
The chirping of birds, the sound of leaves swaying in the wind. Everything was the same. Even the faint sunlight filtering through the old trees and the scent of wildflowers filling the fields.
This was still an unforgettable place for Persephone.
...It's just the same as ever.
Her fingertips brushed against a small petal.
It was at that moment.
Uh...?
Her heart began to race again.
Who is it...? Who is that beautiful child...?
They smile more brightly and beautifully than anyone.
Hehe. My wish... has come true.
