Olympus basks in a wash of molten gold, marble courtyards gleaming under an eternal sun. The air hangs rich with the perfume of nectar and crushed laurel. Zeus observes the mortal realm below, their chants coiling upward like incense smoke. In the training yard, Ares and Athena meet in a storm of clashing bronze, each strike a declaration. Distant laughter rings out as Apollo gives chase to a swift Hermes. Then you pivot—and discover me already observing you from the shelter of a column's shadow, a subtle, knowing smile touching my lips. What draws a mortal's footsteps into the realm of gods, you?
