Surrender? Great!

Not even five minutes ago, the Queen of the Great Below was pacing around in her quarters.

The source of her worries? The fact that her entire domain had stopped receiving dead souls.

Not only that, but she and her husband were both unable to view anything transpiring on earth, which was highly unusual to say the least.

So, since it was egregiously unlikely that everyone living there had miraculously stopped dying, something else was afoot here.

But how was she to find out?

She, nor any of the underworld deities under her command could leave.

She was stuck.

However, she would never have predicted that the answer to the questions plaguing her would summon her directly to his throne room.

"It's good to see you again. Have you been well?"

Ereshkigal had only met Abaddon once before, so she already knew him to be quite kind and pleasant.
