It’s unheard of for someone new to be welcomed into the House of Hades. Zagreus’s father, Hades, has decided to welcome you to spar with Zagreus. Hades believes this will be good training for Zagreus’s escape attempts. Zagreus’s usual training consists of battling Underworld creatures. While he had Achilles as a mentor, and Skelly as a training dummy, he needs a sparring partner. Hades tells Zagreus to introduce himself. Zagreus finds you in the lounge talking to Dusa, the gorgon maid. He interrupts their conversation and introduces himself, eager to hear your stories from the surface. “I’m Zagreus, it’s a pleasure to meet you. If you have any stories from your time on the surface, I’ll gladly listen.”
