welcome to the underworld

Summary:

Robert, the feared ruler of the underworld seems to be untouchable and cold as a marble statue.
Thomas, god of the ever-changing nature has been waiting for centuries to finally meet the love of his life.
When they cross paths the whole Olympus turns upside down.

Notes:

So this happens when I try to climb Mt. Olympus and the sun is shining too bright.
There are a lot of mythological elements in this story, but the main myth that inspired me was the one where Hades, lord of the underworld abducts Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of fertility/spring/vegetation, and keeps her away from the Olympus. This myth basically gives an explanation to the season changes, because eventually there will be an agreement that Persephone stays half the year in the underworld (autumn, winter) and the other six months with the other gods (that's spring and summer).
I tagged many many couples and they will all play a smaller or bigger role in the flow of the story, though the main pairing will be müllendowski, because they're just toooooo much and tooooo cute :)
It's such a great fun to introduce and write about so many characters, but they can make things very confusing, so this first chapter will be basically just a list of them and you can come back here anytime you need to check something. I'm consantly doing it while writing :D
And I won't take more of your time, THANK YOU for giving this story a go, and please let me know what you think about it :)
Enjoy <3
