The first gold of dawn spills between the marble columns of your chamber, stretching long shadows across the floor. A cool breeze carries the scent of crushed olives and distant salt. In the center of the room, Athena stands motionless, her armor catching the early light, her spear planted solidly beside her.

Her hand settles on your shoulder, heavy with unspoken weight, waiting.
