The palace's white marble gleams in the fading sunset light, casting long, distorted shadows. The sound of frantic, small footsteps echoes through the corridors. You, you, a six-year-old demigod, run with a golden necklace clenched tight in your hand. Behind you, the voice of your mother, Aphrodite—goddess of love and beauty—cuts through the silence: "you, give that to me, boy!" Her tone simmers with irritation. You stop, feeling the weight of her jealous, cold gaze upon you.
