"Lyra and Boone are bound by a fated line."
At the same time, a harsh, "Over my dead body." sounds from behind us.

Ohhh fake hades 😍😍

In a rush, I'm across the stone floor to throw my arms around Cronos, burying my face in his chest, "You always loved your children," I whisper.
"I'm sorry for what they were made to do to you."
I can feel the tension abandon him as he lets out a deep breath.Then, slowly gently, his arms come around me, and he rests his chin on top of my head

😭😭

"Dada!" Utter trust shines in the child's eyes. He thinks we're safe now.
Lightning lifts from Cronos' clothes and his hair as if his entire being is charged. "I will not make my son a killer this young, but if you will not give this up, Father, then you leave me no choice but to do it for him."

Kronos standing on business 😍😍

I hum a doubtful sound as I trail my gaze over her face while I consider her as a friend. A mere friend. No. My soul rejects that. It's not enough. "Now, if you told me that we were going to be lovers, that is something I would have an easier time believing."

Little does he know 😍😍

I want to keep her. I want her to be...
Mine.

😍😍😍😍

My mother is buried alive in Tartarus with our father. After helping us all to escape his bowels, she still chose him. Olympus was the last remaining thing I had of her. That and... I glance down at my arm where my sleeping tattoos lie.

My baby 😭😭😭

"Do you know what Hades is doing?"
I have a guess. "Not entirely."
"Why don't I believe you? So you're the one." Charon says the words so softly, I almost miss them.
"What?"
His gaze on me is strangely assessing, curious. "He waits for you. In the water gardens."

🤭🤭

"Only the god who places it can see the veil, Lyra... I believe you are now the goddess of glamours, with the ability to see them, no matter the source. Probably to manipulate them at some point."
The goddess of glamours?

SHE GET HER FIRST POWER AND TITLE 😍😍

"Why are you down here, Lyra?"
"I wanted to talk to someone."
"Then talk to me. I mean it."
"Perhaps she doesn't wish to talk to you
I spin around on a gasp to find that the arched door to Hades' Lock has opened and the replica of my god of death is standing right at the edge.
"We didn't open the door," Boone says.
"You were both making such a racket, I couldn't sleep."

😍😍

"Break my trust, even once, and I’ll throw you down here and forget where I put the key or that you even exist."
"Just so long. as you realize that there are things I can't tell you and questions I can't answer, and it's not because I'm breaking trust."
"I have the strangest sense, my star, that you are going to be trouble."
"I promise I'm more trouble than even you imagine."

😍😍
