ChA 185: A Date with Destiny

Two months had passed since the war ended and the antidote was secured. The Underworld had quieted, though the occasional flare of unrest demanded my attention. Yet, in the grand scheme of divine chaos, things were… manageable. It felt strange, to be at relative peace. Slowly I was able to fit into my new role as ruler of the underworld. Stranger still was the promise I now found myself bound to— a date. With Talos.

It had slipped my mind back for a long time now, I wasn't even sure how this had come to pass. Was I tricked? Manipulated? Or was it simply my own lapse in judgment? Maybe a part of me wanted to reward myself for all the stress I had been through. Regardless, today I was preparing for what could be the best day in my life if things went well.
