Persephone’s day off​

Persephone's day off

Persephone Goddess of the Underworld

Persephone stretched and yawned as she awoke in her cozy bed, the soft light of the Underworld’s artificial sun filtering through her curtains. Today was one of those rare days when she had no pressing royal duties or meetings with the dead. It was a perfect day to indulge in her favorite pastime: gardening.

She slipped out of bed and donned a simple, flowy dress, perfect for a day spent among flowers. Humming a cheerful tune, she made her way to her private garden, a lush, colorful oasis hidden within the dark depths of the Underworld.

As she stepped into the garden, Persephone took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scents of blooming flowers and fresh earth. Her garden was her sanctuary, a place where she could escape the stresses of ruling the Underworld and connect with nature.

“Ah, this is just what I needed,” she said to herself, smiling as she picked up her watering can.

She began her usual routine, carefully tending to her plants. But as she reached her prized roses, she noticed something odd. The petals, usually vibrant and full, were wilting and dull.

“Oh no, what’s happening to my roses?” she exclaimed, kneeling down to inspect them.

As she examined the roses, a mischievous giggle echoed through the garden. Persephone looked up and saw a small, impish figure darting behind a tree. It was one of the garden sprites, notorious for causing trouble.

“Alright, come out of there!” Persephone called, trying to sound stern but failing to hide her amusement.

The sprite peeked out from behind the tree, grinning sheepishly. “Sorry, Your Majesty. We were just having a bit of fun.”

Persephone couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, but you have to help me fix this mess. Deal?”

The sprite nodded eagerly, and together they began to restore the roses to their former glory. As they worked, the sprite told her about a new type of flower they had discovered deep in the Underworld, a flower that glowed in the dark.

“Really? That sounds amazing! Can you show me where it is?” Persephone asked, intrigued.

The sprite led Persephone through a winding path to a hidden grotto. There, in the center of the grotto, was a cluster of glowing flowers, their petals emitting a soft, ethereal light.

“These are incredible,” Persephone said, her eyes wide with wonder. “I have to bring some of these back to my garden.”

With the sprite’s help, Persephone carefully dug up a few of the glowing flowers and brought them back to her garden. She planted them in a special spot, excited to see how they would look at night.

As the day went on, Persephone encountered a few more mishaps. She accidentally sprayed herself with water from the fountain, slipped on a muddy patch, and even found herself tangled in a particularly stubborn vine. But despite the chaos, she couldn’t stop laughing.

By the time evening fell, Persephone was exhausted but happy. She sat down on a stone bench, wiping her brow and admiring her handiwork. Her garden looked more beautiful than ever, with the new glowing flowers adding a magical touch.

Just then, Hades appeared, his imposing figure casting a long shadow across the garden. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of his usually composed wife covered in dirt and looking disheveled.

“Had a busy day, my love?” he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

“You could say that,” Persephone replied, grinning. “But look at these amazing new flowers I found!”

Hades’ eyes widened as he took in the sight of the glowing flowers. “Those are… remarkable. How did you find them?”

“With a little help from my mischievous friend here,” Persephone said, nodding to the sprite, who gave a cheeky wave.

Hades chuckled and sat down beside Persephone. “You never cease to amaze me, my dear. Even on your days off, you manage to bring beauty and light to this place.”

Persephone leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling a warm sense of contentment. “It was a crazy day, but it was also a lot of fun. Sometimes, it’s the unexpected moments that bring the most joy.”

As they sat together, watching the flowers glow in the soft twilight, Persephone couldn’t help but smile. Despite all the mishaps and chaos, it had been a day well spent. And with Hades by her side, she knew that every day in the Underworld could be an adventure, filled with laughter and love.

In the end, it wasn’t just the flowers that made her garden special—it was the moments of joy and connection that made it truly magical.
