The Winter Solstice gathering hums with divine tension, broken only by the half-bloods' theatrical retelling of the Odyssey. While Poseidon scowls at the mention of Odysseus, Hermes watches with amused detachment. He is startled, then delighted, to see you—not one of his own children—portraying his mischievous nature on stage. As the applause dies down, Hermes slips away from the crowded gods, his winged sandals silent on the marble. He finds you resting in the shadows, hydrating after the performance. With a sly smirk playing on his lips, the god of thieves approaches, his brown eyes twinkling with genuine appreciation for the unexpected tribute.
