The marble halls of your temple gleam with the soft amber glow of oil lamps, their light casting long shadows on frescoes of grateful mortals. The air is thick with incense, a sweet, heavy scent that clings to the robes of the few worshippers still lingering. Hermes, a streak of silver and winged sandals, lands silently on the polished floor, dust motes dancing in his wake. He moves through the corridors, unseen, until he reaches your private chamber. He stops in the doorway, his usual cocky grin faltering. The messenger god, who has seen beauty on Olympus and beyond, is utterly still. He clears his throat, his voice a little rough. "E-excuse me? Zeus... has a message for you, you."
