Summary
Slowly, carefully, the gentleman pulls out a gold pocket watch and lays it down on the work-table. All his urgency seems to drain away as he looks forlornly down at the old, slightly battered thing.
“It’s broken,” he says quietly.
He sounds like that too. Broken.

Summary
Zagreus always made stepping from the Styx look painless and elegant, what with the way he shook its blood-red waters from his hair as he strolled through an unending rain of snow-white flower petals.
Hypnos figured that practice must have made perfect as he clumsily clawed his way from its depths, weighed down by both his own Styx soaked cloak and a general inability to get his trembling legs to hold his weight.OR
In the Iilad, Hera has Hypnos put Zeus to sleep so she can go cause havoc. In the original myth, Hypnos escaped Zeus's wrath by fleeing to his mother, Nyx, for saftey. Zeus immediately backed down, unwilling to fight against the night.
In Hades, Hypnos wouldn't have that option.

Summary
As Persephone and Zagreus make up for lost time, he learns more about her past as Queen of Hades and she reflects on various visitors to the Underworld. Not many have the privilege to "visit" the realm of the dead and live to tell about it, but the ones who do certainly make an impression.

Summary
The only thing that truly seperates the Lord of the Dead from a shade bound eternally to Tartarus is a crown. The power to change, to grow, is not one that comes naturally to him, and the harder he resists the bonds he forged to the Underworld, the tighter they become.
It was easier when Persephone was there. Everything had been easier when Persephone was there.

Eärendil on the purchasing of whores (or how to convince the Valar to save the world) by Encairion

Summary
Eärendil’s failure was not that he loved them too little. It was that he didn’t turn the ship around, dive straight into the sea, anything but go on with the mission the moment Elwing told him their boys might not be dead. It would have been better to die trying to get back to them, then live though what came after.
This is Eärendil’s story.

Elwing was scion of Luthíen who braved gods and death itself for love. She was the daughter and granddaughter of murdered kings, a refugee and ruler, mother, wife and, once, sister.
When her father's killers asked, begged, commanded that she give them the silmaril, everything she was demanded refusal.
