She stood on the edge of yet another cliff, no more than a single step from the drop into the sea below. She couldn't explain how she kept ending up like this, a breath away from the edge, something deep inside her aching. She wasn't here to step over the edge. She didn't want that, not trulY. That ache inside her simply searched for an answer to a question she didn't even have the words for. She felt like there was something wrong with her but she had no idea what.
"Death holds the answers you seek if only you can find him."
The oracles words echoed in her mind. They made no sense. Death wasn't a person.
Hades and Persephone made the mistake of hiding a mortal Zeus had set his sights on in the Underworld with them. Wrongly they had assumed he'd grow bored and move on. Unfortunately he became angry instead. He couldn't reach the mortal where they kept her so instead he spent the time plotting his revenge. When the mortal died, still hidden in the Underworld, he enacted his revenge. He trapped Hades and Persephone in human bodies, hiding the memories of who they really were and planted memories of a human life for both. He then separated them in the human realm, on opposite sides of Greece. He planned to release them after a few months but a new shiny conquest came along and he got distracted. Now here it is, five years later and the two are still human. They know something is wrong but they don't know what it is. They have both been approached by an Oracle and given a message. "Death holds the answers you seek if only can find him" for Persephone and "Spring holds the answers you seek if only you can find her." for Hades. The Oracle was sent by a fellow god who took pity on them but couldn't intervene without risking Zeus' wrath on them. Now the two need to figure out what their messages mean, who they really are, and how to find each other.

Magic may be accepted as truth but is not common. It might be harnessed only by specific beings. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones.
Iron age
Combat is expected as part of the storyline but it won't dominate the plot.
Romance is required, but may take some time to develop. For example: slow burn RPs.
Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.
