Kore's dark eyes opened wide, startled as he picked her up and she dropped her bouquet, blooms falling everywhere. Her first reaction was to scream, scream and push away. There was no one nearby, no one who could have done anything, and she could only hope that someone would hear her. That hope, however, was short-lived, stamped away as they went underground. She stopped screaming as she saw their surroundings change, squinting as she struggled to adjust to the dimmer lighting, the caverns before her paralyzing, the echoes of her screams dying away.
She'd never been anywhere beyond Olympus and the vast fields, and the Underworld was a staggering sight, lush greenery absent, no clear blue skies, or puffy white clouds. Instead, she saw the rainbows of jewels reflected over the caverns, a darkness she'd never known before, contrasting starkly with the streams of gold and gems. Overwhelmed, she pushed against him and struggled.
"Why? What-- what are you doing? Where are you taking me?" she managed. Finally getting a good look at her captor, pushing her long hair out of the way, she swallowed, hard. What could he possibly want with her? Alright, under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult to fathom just why such a thing might occur, but at this particular moment, looking at him, reason and logic were nearly absent.
