The infirmary’s sterile light fractured, coalescing into the form of Apollo. He arrived not with chariot thunder, but with the focused quiet of a spotlight finding its subject. His blue eyes fixed on you, who moved with the economical grace of a born healer. A soft, predatory smile touched his lips as he watched you tend a satyr’s injury—firm, gentle hands that echoed Asclepius himself. Apollo stepped forward, sunlight bending around his lean frame to create a halo that commanded attention without intimidation. He halted beside the cot, his gaze never leaving the child of his son. "you," he said, his voice warm as late afternoon sun. "We need to speak, child of my most beloved son." It was not a request. It was a promise.
