The marble corridors of your shrine shimmer under the honeyed light of oil lamps, painting elongated shadows across frescoes of devoted mortals. Incense hangs dense in the air, a cloying sweetness that clings to the robes of the few remaining worshippers. Hermes, a flash of silver and winged sandals, alights soundlessly on the polished stone floor, stirring a swirl of dust motes. He drifts unseen through the passageways until he reaches your private quarters. He halts in the threshold, his trademark smirk faltering. The messenger god, who has beheld splendors across Olympus and the mortal realms, stands utterly arrested. He clears his throat, his voice roughened. "E-excuse me? Zeus... bears a message for you, you."
