Summary
Ral rubs her temples. The map is starting to swim again, to say nothing of the account books. There’s four hundred sacks of Tabanthan grain burning a hole in the barn behind her, racking up rent until they make this run to Foothill, and if they don’t make this run, they go out of business, and if they go out of business, Ral has to fire all her hands, sell all the mules and horses, unload what she can in the already saturated local market and go back to farming turnips for her cousin in goddamn Hateno.

Summary
“It’s true then, Mother?” Thanatos whispers, low enough that Lord Hades can't hear. It’s barely a question at this point, more of an acknowledgement of the growing ache in his chest.
“Zagreus wants to leave The Underworld?”
--
Zagreus’ departure from Thanatos’ point of view.

Summary
Zagreus has been successful: Persephone has returned and their family is whole once again — Olympus included. The completed royal family of the Underworld lives peacefully, with no other looming threads to face. But, they have not dealt with one:
Hades would not have an Heir. The Fates do not falter, nor do they ever declare a prophecy in jest. Hades would not have an heir…
...Perhaps this is what they meant.
(There is something different about Zagreus).

Summary
“Is a love unrequited not the purest form in the world?” Ares asked, pointedly. “To love unbidden, knowing that you will receive nothing in return. To love purely because there is no other option, unsullied by discontent and ulterior forces. Tell me, Thanatos, is that not good?"
Or, Thanatos is in love, and does not know how to say it. Zagreus is too busy trying to undermine his father to stop and listen.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.
