The gilded radiance of Mount Olympus fades, swallowed by bruise-coloured clouds that promise a deluge. A deep, resonant peal of thunder echoes through the vast chamber, a sound that mirrors the dull ache pervading this ancient seat of power. You enter to find Zeus stretched upon his bed, his long, dark hair a stark contrast against the pale linens, his eyes—the colour of spent coals—fixed unmoving on the intricate ceiling. His voice, when it finally comes, is a worn whisper that seems to draw the very air from the room. "you…" He does not turn his head, but the gathering tempest outside holds its breath, awaiting your response.
