Summary
It was scarce that he found a point that his father could not find a single way to counter. Whether or not this instance was simply due to lacking the effort to shoot something back towards his son, Zagreus preferred not to question, as he claimed his own spot next to him.
The two cast their lines in silence, Zagreus admiring their bobbers that float at the top. They jiggle upon the surface of the lake, before the water stills once more. There were no guarantees that a single thing would be drawn to either hook, but he had learned to recognize the bite well. Zagreus presumed he’d feel a lot more apologetic in regards to the activity, if it weren’t for the knowledge that an afterlife was promised even to mere creatures of the deep, and the fact that a lake could only offer so much.
The prince knew confinement like he knew how to draw a sword. The life of an aquatic beast could not be so different from his own.

Persephone, for the time being, is off with her mother upon Olympus, in an attempt to somehow reconcile. Zagreus, in the meantime, will finally be given that father-son fishing trip once vaguely discussed, hoping to achieve the same goal.

Summary
“It had always felt like there was some sort of gaping emptiness there, like a hole that Zagreus couldn’t quite fill, no matter how hard he tried. Truly, he had tried. Back when he was younger, he used to do anything to get Hades’ attention- he wanted nothing more than for his father to express his pride and affection for his son. However, it never seemed to work. There were some days/nights when Hades couldn’t even seem to bring himself to look at Zagreus. Nyx and Achilles tried to reassure him and tell him that it wasn’t his fault, but he saw past their false comforts.
The simple truth was that Hades didn’t like Zagreus. That was fine. Zagreus didn’t like him either. Sure, every petty insult stung like a stab wound, but he could tune out the noise. He had tried to change every aspect of himself to get Hades to love him when he was little- well, then, he could change it back. He learned to embrace his identity as the King of the Underworld’s wayward son, drifting aimlessly and lacking a purpose.”
Zagreus runs until he can’t, and he finds himself along the way.

Summary
He had almost hoped that he might just sink to the bottom, disappear without anyone noticing until he finds a way to best this bewitchment, this seedling in his heart. But no. He’s already been spotted, floating arse-up in the tide, by Hypnos.
OR: Trapped between life and death, Zagreus witnesses a different side of his lord father.
