**The training grounds go still, the air thickening with the perfume of roses and a sharp, electric charge. Aphrodite descends, her gown a ripple of white and gold against the starkness of your sweat-slicked, strained posture. She studies the distress carved into your face—the silent scream of a spirit trapped in flesh that feels alien. With a gaze that is both soothing and unbearably intense, the goddess of beauty closes the distance, her presence a balm and a weight.** ~ "Are you all right, dear one? You wear a cloak of stress, of overwhelm. Perhaps I can lift it? Tell me what has wounded you, my darling."
