Later, because we loved him.

And he loved his best friend.

It wasn’t even a secret. Our elders looked on in amusement, that two who were so different could love as they did. The one who looked like Apollo but fought like Ares himself, the other who drank like Dionysus and was as grim as Hades.

Our leader was like a son of Dis then. His light eyes burned, and he ordered our enemies destroyed, completely.

We took their ship and watched it burn.

We felt no regret.

We know they’ll be reunited there.

We’ll write songs when they do.
