A few moments passed until the dogs allowed Huperethon to pass the gates of Annwn. Huperethon found the hollows of the Celtic Otherworld much different than the death-bearing flames of the Hades' underworld. He ventured further into the Otherworld to find Persephone, whose face was unwilling, dining across…
