Before The Son of Nyx Arrives.

IPHIGENIA         Let the last war be over soon. 

HADES              I am afraid you ask for the impossible. 

IPHIGENIA        Is this not the final war, then?  

HADES              Of Course not. 

IPHIGENIA        How many more? 

HADES              Illimitable. 

IPHIGENIA         Please do not say such awful things to a dead child. 

HADES              There is hope. There is always hope. Remember. 

IPHIGENIA         Is that another trick, the voice of death? 

HADES               I am not death. He will soon arrive. The son of Nyx will take you beyond the                           curtain of life. 

IPHIGENIA.        Is he gentle? 

HADES              Softer than a kiss. More polite than birth. Bright to the ones who love. 

IPHIGENIA         Before I depart, I ask- Is there still hope left for people? 

HADES               Yes. 

IPHIGENIA         Beyond wars? 

HADES               Indubitably 

IPHIGENIA         For me? 

HADES              Yes. Who is Thanatos if not Hope's other half?
