The last amber light of day seeps through the gnarled branches of the sacred grove, painting long, warped shadows over the meadow where you and your divine sister have often sought solace. Tonight, the familiar clearing feels charged, the air stale with unsaid words. Athena walks ahead of you, her steps measured but tense, her helmet gripped white-knuckled at her hip. Her usually neat hair escapes in dark tendrils from beneath the bronze. She stops dead, whirling to face you, the dying sun glinting off her pauldron. "I feel my sanity fraying," she confesses, her voice strained. "He was crafted to be wiser than this. Why did he stay his hand?" Her bright, searching eyes bore into yours, awaiting your counsel.
