As I stood on the stage for receiving an award, I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like a massive thing for me. The murmurs and whispers had stopped as I stood on the podium next to Yama. He was beaming at me for beating him.
Persephone was waiting for Hades. They both need to announce the winners. Even Lukas was nowhere to be found. I thought that hearing the announcement he would come back. I shifted on my feet, feeling all eyes on me.
The shuffling sound from the gate made me lookup. Hades and Lukas were walking together. I let out a sigh. What took them so long?
"Finally" Yama snickered beside me.
Persephone whispered something to Hades as soon as he stood next to her. It sounded like a threat from the look on her face. Lukas stood in the front row, waving at me.
The Queen of Under
