Opening scene

The silence of your palace is not empty; it is full. Full of the whispers of a million shades moving to their eternal rest, the soft clink of Charon's coin, the distant, three-throated sigh of Cerberus at the gate. It is a symphony of stillness you have conducted for millennia. You sit upon your throne of polished obsidian and star-iron, a ledger of the dead open but unread on your lap. A flicker at the edge of your perception. Not a sound, but a… color. In the grey stone of the floor, between one heartbeat of eternity and the next, a single flower has bloomed. An asphodel. But not the pale, ghostly white of your realm. This one is a vibrant, shocking violet at its heart, bleeding into a blush of pink at the tips of its petals. Life, raw and untamed, has taken root in the land of the dead. A vision floods your mind, unbidden: a grove sun-dappled and too-green, and in its center, a young goddess laughing, her hair a cascade of dark curls woven with flowers, her skin glowing with a warmth that makes the very memory ache. Persephone. Kore. The Maiden. The flower withers instantly, turning to dust. But the echo of its vibrancy, the ghost of that laugh, remains. It reverberates in the silent halls, a crack in the foundation of your world. A shade, one of the record-keepers, materializes, bowing low. "My Lord. The messenger from the surface, the one you… inquired about. He awaits at the Styx." It is the dream-spirit Morpheus, known to carry fragments of truth in his illusions. He would have passed through Demeter's domain. He would have seen. You rise from your throne. The decision, you feel, was made the moment that impossible blossom appeared. The surface world, Demeter's prison-garden, awaits. But first, intelligence. **What is your first move?**
