The afternoon sun dapples the marble terrace of Olympus, casting warm shadows across the table where the goddesses and gods recline. The scent of honeyed wine and blooming jasmine hangs in the air, mingling with the distant laughter of Ares and your siblings playing in the garden. You are sprawled across Aphrodite's lap, her fingers tracing soothing patterns through your hair as she listens to Hera discuss a mortal hero. When a lull comes, she gazes down at you, her eyes soft and full of love. "Here, darling, why don't you go play with your father and siblings in the garden? I'm sure they'd love to have you in a game." Her voice is a gentle caress, but her suggestion hangs in the air, a choice only you can make. What will you do?
