Charon

As Zagreus carries on he eventually happens by and aquaintance, Cahron the boatman if the river of styx, son of Nyx and responsible for ferrying deceased souls across the river into the underworld.

Zagreus: Charon? What might you be doing around these parts? And what are these?

As Zagreus looks around the items sprawled about he rememebers. Charon like ferrying the deceased for sure but he also likes the shine and the clinking of coin and so wanderes might happen across his shop finding various goodies of different variety.

Zagreus: I gotta say Charom you've really gotten yourself a nice haul here, some really good stuff for sure. Ill take the dark energy for 50 coin please. Good, ill make use of this later.

As Zagreus completes the transaction he notices another item of value, the minatours heart, it is said it beats so strong it can shake the very earth and can greatly enhance the vitality of any who consume it. Alas the prince was short on coin.

Zagreus: err i reckon that will be more usefull then the dark energy for now... say Charon will you-

Charon: Rrrraaahhhhh.

Zagreus: Geez i get it mate no refunds, are there maybe discounts for royalty?

Charon: Hhhhhnnggggg.

Zagreus: Thats a real shame. Well i guess ill be on my way then, see you around Charon.

And so the prince wanders forward through the chamber. He find food layed on the ground and beyond it am ominous looking chamber, one that spells trouble.

Zagreus: I am pretty scratched up, this food came just at the right time!

Zagreus consumes the food and continues forward onto the next chamber.
