There is no Escape?

By: Zerlina Tang

Prince of the Underworld

Looking for an exit to the mortal realm

As foes are slashed ruthlessly with his sword

Burning cold red eyes

When the enemies are vanquished

What awaits?

A hammer for upgrade?

A bleeding golden pomegranate of power?

An orb of radiant light flashes and brightens the room

The boon of the Gods

A sudden wave of power washes over Zagreus

The power of Olympus

Next room

A door determining the prize

The Ship of Doom sails over the lava

A cluster of skeletons

He strikes them down

As more are summoned by the Lord Hades

An unexpected strike to his back

The prince is taken by the Styx

Bloodied waters drag and drown him

And with a kiss,

Once again, Life becomes Death
