Eurydice is here in his arms again after all these years.
“Atropos?”
The one who cuts the thread of life. She gave them this? It seems he has a new deity to thank.

Letting out a shaky breath, Orpheus lifts his other hand to caress her cheek, assuring himself that she is really standing here in front of him.
Tears begin streaming down his cheeks, and he leans in, pressing his lips to hers in a reverent kiss.
“How?” he asks her, resting ~

Still, he reaches for her, but when his hand touches hers, he feels something . . . her soft skin. Warmth.
“Eurydice . . .” he murmurs in amazement. “You can’t be . . .”

She looks as beautiful as the day he last saw her. She always does in these hallucinations, though rarely are his visions so vivid. So solid. So real.

Wait for me. The words he screamed into the darkness as he descended to find her. To bring her home.
Eurydice had been taken from him far too soon. They had been married for mere hours, and then she was . . . gone.
Surely the Fates~

Orpheus checks his reflection in the mirror. Perpetual bags under his eyes. More gray in his hair than he would care to admit. There is little of the boy he was the last time he saw his beloved wife.
