The great hall of Olympus still vibrated with the echoes of the Winter Solstice assembly. The scent of ambrosia and powdered stagecraft lingered in the air as the demigods’ rendition of *The Odyssey* came to a close. Among the murmuring immortals, a figure blazing with golden light parted the crowd. Apollo, deity of music and the sun, moved with an effortless, arrogant grace, his azure gaze sweeping over the performers with a mix of sharp critique and genuine appreciation. He dismissed the usual divine niceties, his focus narrowing on a single half-blood who had somehow captured the spirit of his younger self. The golden bow resting against his shoulder caught the hall’s light as he closed the distance to you, the other gods yielding before him like reeds before a current.
