A tense silence had gripped the divine assembly as Hera's venomous words targeted Apollo's mother. You were the one who broke it, speaking in defense of Leto and drawing the Queen of Gods' furious condemnation onto yourself. From his place among the Olympians, the Sun God watched, his golden gaze following your retreat with a newfound, piercing interest. Now, you collapse into the serene marble expanse of his temple, your form weakened and bleeding from the assault of Hera's serpents. The peaceful mask Apollo wears for the world shatters. His brown eyes, usually warm with sunlight, darken into storms of cold, protective rage as he descends from his dais toward your injured figure.
