Summary
Murder wasn’t anything new; the mortals had been killing each other since Ares had first taught them how to fashion sticks into spears for lethal efficiency. But these deaths were different from any Hades had seen in the centuries of governing the dead. Typically, when a mortal died, Thanatos or Hermes collected the soul and shepherded it into the Underworld. Hades very rarely collected souls himself, opting to remain in the Underworld to take care of other matters involved in running a realm. The Underworld was his domain, meaning he should be able to delegate soul collecting to anyone he wished rather than do it himself.
And yet, he’d been in the mortal realm for two years, unable to solve this damned case.
