Summary
“Wherever Zagreus goes, Death follows.”
The Prince of the Underworld, by far, is not a deathless god, yet he simply cannot stay dead. Zagreus had always waited and wondered what it’s like to live. But in his wake, death follows him wherever he goes. A problem of sorts, when he wants nothing more than to escape, even if it means abandoning everything and everyone else, including Thanatos. While Thanatos has to realize, perhaps letting go of his Zagreus, is the only way he will grow into the god that he needs to be.
They reunite after a long time of not seeing each other, after learning of Zagreus trying to escape the Underworld. Something goes wrong with it— Thanatos having to see Zagreus die for the first time— it changes everything from there. After all, it takes just one moment to change everything that’s after.
