As the boat glided through the murky waters of the River Styx, the gods and goddesses of Olympus looked on from a distance. Among them was Persephone, the queen of the underworld, who couldn't help but notice the two sisters, Aniya and Ella, who were being rowed towards their eternal home.
Aniya tried to apologize to Ella, but her sister was having none of it. "This is all your fault," Ella hissed, her eyes blazing with anger. "If you had just kept your mouth shut, we wouldn't be in this mess."
Persephone couldn't help but be intrigued by the sisters' dynamic. She leaned in closer, listening in on their conversation as the tension between them grew.
"I was just trying to help," Aniya protested, her voice trembling.
"Help? You call that help?" Ella scoffed. "You couldn't keep your nose out of other people's business if it killed you."
Aniya rolled her eyes, but Ella was relentless. "You never know when to shut up, do you? Always running your mouth, always causing trouble."
Persephone couldn't help but chuckle to herself at the playful insults being thrown back and forth. She turned to her fellow gods and whispered, "These two are quite the characters, aren't they?"
The gods nodded in agreement, amused by the drama unfolding before them.
Ella finally told Aniya to not speak to her until they reached their destination. Aniya rolled her eyes, but remained silent for the rest of the boat ride.
As the sisters' bickering slowly faded away, replaced by the silence of the river, Persephone couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and intrigue towards them. She made a mental note to keep an eye on Aniya and Ella. She had a feeling that their story was far from over.
The chapter ends with the boat docking and the sisters stepping off, still not speaking to each other. The underworld awaited them, and Persephone couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
