About
Screams of terror. Cries of pain. Choked back tears. A whispered promise.Distant murmurs. Faint voices. The ticking of a clock.Silence.The silence was the loudest of them all, surrounding the soul with its crushing weight. It could still hear but it had been so long since it was graced with anything more than the emptiness of the void around it. Tired, weary, broken and trying so hard to repair the damage done by actions during the sundering-- it slept. Time did not exist here and so it slept.A pulse. A dim light flickering amongst the darkness. A spark that traveled its way through emptiness until it ignited a brilliant, blinding blaze.And so he breathed. He heard.

>wakes up shortly after 5.0 begins

>they love each other so much
>he annoys hades out of love
>hyth finds his seriousness and easily annoyed moods endearing
>they marry again in current day
