Persephone and Hades are engaged. In retaliation, Demeter summons a snowstorm that cripples New Greece, and refuses to lift the blizzard unless her daughter calls off her engagement. When the Olympians intervene, Persephone finds her future in the hands of ancient gods, and they are divided.

A near Death experience is a gift brought back to help guide us all on our journeys and to share with others. By helping tell the experiences of others is a beginning journey of their own. His guiding Hand touches us all.
