Dedication
~
To the ones who vanish when the world grows too loud—
may your silence echo louder than thunder ever could.
~
[[They are the silence beneath the world, where time crystallizes into memory.
Wearing shadows like velvet and eyes like still stone, Hades walks unseen where the forgotten dwell. Once radiant with crystalline tears and laughter that echoed through starlit halls, they now bury light beneath layers of sorrow. The keeper of what is lost, they do not speak unless it matters, and even then, only in truth. To know Hades is to feel the ache of beauty—sharp, quiet, and infinite. They are the First to Fracture, the one who withdrew so love might survive the weight of prophecy.]]
