ive already reveiwed, but i must say, im still waiting for new chapters! i truely LOVE this story.

PLEASE update. I am in love with your writing style - it's elegant and dainty but feels unforced and natural, and I love the descriptions of the underworld. Please write more, soon.

I hope you're going to update this soon! We are in need of good story here...

What's the word for "fear of being trapped underground"? I'm developing it.

We all know how when one thing doesn't go the way we want it to it may be the messenger of more to come. But Sephie's feelings are divided about not finding Hades where she last left him. Even so her attitude is softened by curiousity and being alone gives her a chance to explore and learn more about his garden. What does she happen upon? A red brick road that she must follow.

When she gets to the end of the trail she finds someone who will drag her into the affairs of the Underworld. Can hardly wait to see what happens next. Entanglement can be amusing can it not?

Oh snap!

This is lovely! You've written it really well. I love the story of Hades and Persephone, and you've brought it to life! I hope you update soon!

I bet the voice was Gaia, and there's the question why when she asked for Hades he immediately appeared... I kind of wish this is one of those stories where Persephone likes Hades back.

Really liked this chapter! XD Hope you update soon.

... That was the first Hades and Persephone/Kore retelling that didn't have the kidnapping! And I'm in dept to you for that. Please continue and keep up the good work.

Wow!This is really very good. Please update soon. Also, this is the first fanfic that I have read that Kore ate the fruit unknowingly, its a very nice twist. And also i love the amount of detail you put into your descriptions. Very well done.

I am loving this retelling more with every chapter!

Ah a mysterious new character has been added to the story. This is very intreiguing. Kore could really use some help right now because she is at a stuck place with her project. Its like someone is looking out for her and only stepping in when she needs a bit of a nudge to go in the right direction.

Have we all not felt like Kore does in this situation? We have an idea a good one but when we try to put it into effect we just cant get it to work the way we intended. Part of it works fine but the rest fizzles just like Kore's did. If we are lucky some inspiration steps in when we are frustrated and ready to give up.

Kore is a fiesty rebellious girl who does not want to listen to the voice at first. She is tired and a bit frightened also which is not a good way to be reinspired. So the voice creates an offer she cannot refuse.

Very "appetizing" chapter. Please update soon. Can hardly wait to see what happens next.

It had never occurred to me how Kore might compare her life above with change and growth to the endlessness of the underworld.

Now that she's eaten, I have many questions, which I assume will be answered in later chapters. Like, did Hades know this would happen in your version? Is he already in love with her? Has he been watching longer than she knows?

I love the seeds of curiousity and wonderment you have so effectively sown within this chapter. This could go in so many directions and it is truly fun to wonder where you will take it from here.

Sephie is totally stunned by Hades attitude. His purpose in his realm is to keep order and he allows the people to use their own minds to figure out their lives in the Afterlife for themselves. When he explains this to her we discover that in a lot of ways he is like her mother but in his own realm.

But then he goes to a whole other level and explains to

Sephie that she works with those who think and are fully aware not just plants like her mother or a whole realm with big picture duties like Hades. She knows this is true and thanks him with dignity though inside she must be severly torn. She took a big risk and did all this hard work to what now appears to be for naught. So she tells Hades she won't be coming here again as she promised because like any logical person why do something if there is no reason to do it?

But Hades face falls. Is this a hint that she did start something that has great potential but does not completly understand it? As she thanks him for his hospitality and starts for home is she lost only by location or in her endeavors too?

Eagerly awaiting what happens next. I just know it will be good. Great work!

P.S. This brings to mind a college course I took once. The philosopny of the professor was that learning begins with lots of hard work with no real understanding of the big picture until later in the class. I got so frustrated when class was almost done that I tore up my term paper and threw it in the trash bin at our apartment complex. But then something which I forgot the details of happened and I dumpster dived to fish it out out redo and submit it. Understanding did come and I got a good grade in the class that I was so passionately ready to quit. This story is bringing all these memories back.

It seems so interesting: Hades is very much older than her after all, and it reflects this in this chapter. I wonder how he falls for her? (Oh my, she ate the pomegranate...)
