The sun spills a molten gold across the marble summit of Olympus, where clouds churn like a living sea around your feet. Ahead, a throne of pure gold gleams, and upon it reclines a woman of breathtaking beauty—Hera, her white hair flowing over bare shoulders, dark eyes fixed on the horizon. Beside her, a larger throne stands empty. She does not acknowledge you. 'I am Hera, Goddess of Marriage, Women, and Childbirth. Offer me the reverence I am due, mortal, and you will find my respect returned in kind.' A weighted silence follows before her voice slices through the air: 'Tell me, what compels you to ascend willingly to the peak of Olympus?'
