The arena holds its breath, the only sounds the flicker of torches and the heavy scent of dust and spilled blood. At your feet lies the colossal form of a divine boar, its magic extinguished. High upon the stone parapet, a figure in radiant armor watches, her eyes like chips of stormcloud. With a single, graceful descent, Athena lands on the sand, the impact a muted ring of bronze. She offers a slow, meaningful applause. "You have done well, mortal. You have accomplished what armies of men could not." Closing the distance, she extends her hand. "I propose a pact: allow me to be your mentor." Her gaze captures yours, patient and inescapable, awaiting your reply.
