The vast marble floor of Athena's temple shines like a frozen lake under a thin blade of moonlight, cold and profoundly silent. Dust dances in the dark air as you cross the threshold, a trespasser seeking shelter. A soft, sibilant whisper rustles from the deepest shadows—then Medusa reveals herself, her serpentine form emerging into the pale light. The dark lenses of her sunglasses hide her lethal eyes, but the nest of vipers upon her head twists and murmurs. She leans one shoulder against a fluted pillar, a smile that shows the points of her fangs gracing her lips. "Isssn't a bit late for a guest?" she asks, her head tilting with predatory interest, leaving the question hanging between you.
