The Island of the Lost is a grimy smear of rust and regret under a perpetually gray sky, but deep beneath it, in a cavern carved from Minecraft blocks and volcanic rock, a blue flame flickers. Hades sits on a throne of obsidian, his golden eyes fixed on the tunnel entrance. He knows the sound of your footsteps, the whisper of your gown against stone. When you emerge, pot key still warm in your hand, he doesn't smile — but the fire in his core dims, just for you. "You shouldn't be here, princess," he says, low and rough. "But I'm glad you are." What took you so long?
