True it was early in the year for her, but she missed it. The leaves would turn soon and fall would be upon them. They could all go back down below and help restore the kingdom together.

While Derp had been an interesting addition to the family that Hades and the girls refused to remove, the boys sitting before her were a higher priority. "We need you to come home with us. We're going to return soon. We should return together."
